With the Pro Scouts, I am thinking this is where Adam's point about having Scouts who can also run Analytics comes into play. If their scouting schedule was light and they weren't proficient in Analytics then replacing them with a couple that do could help improve their efficacy.

Gotta bring in a strong director, imo, or it's all for naught

So since I know you guys are all experts, what's a good phone these days?

I've had an android and it's super durable, but I need something with a better camera.

Looking for something refurbished, the guy at Verizon tried to sell me a $1k phone yesterday so I walked out.

Take Armia and Byron on the 4th line, Zadarov would be a decent 4-5.
- Buff36

None of those guys move the needle and would be overpaid for their bottom pair defensive role and 4th line winger spot.

Darcy had some huge misses his last two drafts.

Instead of hertl, Wilson, Terevainen, vasilevsky

We get girgs and grigs

Instead of horvat, Domi or mantha

We get Risto and zadorov.

It’s no wonder Murray sold all Darcys trash.

And people want Darcy back

I just got the Galaxy S20+ through Spectrum Mobile. I'm on a plan by myself. Paying $86 a month for unlimited data and the phone. Goes down to $45 a month once I pay the phone off. If I really wanted to save money, I could have bought one through the manufacturer as they have financing as well, but I figured switching from Verizon to Spectrum was going to be a hassle in of itself.

You have to have Spectrum cable and/or internet for this deal though.

I'm not opposed to getting an iPhone either, but my concern with that is durability. My Motorolla is at the end of it's life, but I've dropped, bent, and broken this thing more times than I can count. Until the battery quit on me.

I put mine in an Otterbox Defender case. It protects it well enough. I had my Galaxy S8+ in a Lifeproof case and when I turned it in, I got the full trade-in value for it due to its condition.

Once all the statues come down things will be better.

who was the second line center when the kings or hawks won their cups?

I think it's more square pegs trying to go in round holes and if people think a center will fix the problems, they are wrong


we have a lot more issues then that


all I am trying to say
- homiedclown

For the Kings they had Jeff Carter as 2C. That’s prime Carter. He’s pretty good

Jack Eichel WAR is 2.06 wins

That is 4 points

Granted it is not a perfect process determining but just a 50 point second line center does not get this team 6 more points

They need a 2C, 1 top line winger, and 2 middle 6 wingers, and a starting goalie
- Stripes77

Honest question though. If our current second line center is - in that department, like deep -, even getting back to 0 WAR puts us closer. And that center would raise every one else’s WAR (theoretically of course). I’m not saying plan the parade with a real 2C, but man we’ve not had one for so long. When we did, we didn’t have even remotely capable wingers for ROR to play with.

Looks like a very quick search of this years C's, the average of the top 30sh in TOI produce around 0.85 - 0.95 ppg. Generational 1.35+, High-ends around 1.15 ppg, low-end around 0.70 ppg

So if Jack is high-end with WAR of 2.0sh, then 1C replacement level I'm guessing is toward the lower end of above.

Disclaimer:
I used TOI as a proxy for 1C's ...certainly not perfect by any means.
I'd say you may not be in the right seat, not even right row or section...but your between the 35 yardlines on the proper side and watching the right game.

How about Adams just goes and gets a center who can actually put up 50 God damn points.

And I want David God damn Putney, too.

It has nothing to do with the policies and local politicians that have run a large majority of these cities for DECADES! It has zero to do with the politicians that have been in office for 20...30...40 YEARS! It’s the federal guys fault who’s been in politics for 3 years and the statues fault.

So now the cure for the democratic policies that have plagued these cities, is more democratic policies!

And I’m not saying it all has to one side or the other. There should be a balance in government.

And I’m not saying racism isn’t still an issue that needs to be worked on. But I think racism is being used to deflect from the failure of the people that have run these cities into the ground.

Or maybe I’m just an old racist white guy.

You mean sold off everything, Murray didn't do much better in his drafts, and Botts might not be to far behind either one, we shall find out here in the next few years.

Seems like Samson at center would put up 50 + points with skinner and cozens/tage/olloffson on the other wing?
