Definition of insanity:

I bought some microphones and they're being delivered by Canada Post.

(cute) postal truck driver puts a slip in my door with pickup instructions.

Because they probably shipped it insured, it requires a 19-plus signature, but Canada Post drivers have no means or authority to check age, so I have to wait until she's done her route for the day (~50 more packages), for it to be dropped off at the nearest post office, which will likely be closed, and then go pick it up tomorrow morning... with my ID.

What type of mics did you pick up?

Purolator has not delivered the last 10 packages to my office because it's "temporarily closed." I have photos of him driving past the parking lot and heading in a circle, parking in the parking lot across the street and at that moment marking it as "attempted delivery." I set up a table outside and sat at the entrance of the building with a sign and waved at him and he kept on going, put "attempted delivery." It's really (frank)ing great!

Purolator is only an iota better tham Canpar, and way behind UPS, FedEx, Canada Post, and DHL (in ascending order of goodness)

I really dont think Pietra is an option for the leafs.

I really do. It probably means moving out a big piece like Nylander, but it can (and should) definitely be done.

Kinda crazy that in the next week and a bit both the draft and free agency will be done/underway.

I can't wait. Free agent frenzy usually features me covered in wing sauce, drunk by 3pm shouting at the TV and Twitter and hockeybuzz... see you soon!

Moi aussi mon ami. Je m'attends à beaucoup de choses de la part des Canadiens!

Je serai donc inévitablement déçu.

Hopefully we get some action, its been much slower then I would have anticipated.

I think it’s going to be slow. Teams have no idea when the season will start, what kind of season there will be, what kind of revenue they can expect. Many will wait as long as they can to make commitments. Maybe there will be some action from the big spenders if they think they have an advantage going early.

Bottom 6 is gross...

Hard to do any better with the top heavy contracts...

They just need to manage to have some sort of decent 3C to make it worth going after pietrangelo. Not sure if it’s worth it if you can’t play the bottom 6.

That's my point. If Dubas is set on keeping Nylander and still signing Petro then his bottom 6 will be dumpster diving.

- gergeswillems

The bottom 6 on that is...not good at all.

But with so much cap tied up...what can you do.

Not sign AP, get a cheaper D and some better forward depth thats what.

- gergeswillems

There's no way...IMO...he can keep him and sign AP. Just doesn't work for the bottom 6.

Nylander and Dermott, and the very least have to go.

Johnsson next.

Andersen if needed after that.

And Kerfoot last....we need a decent 3C and if we can't replace him with something better, we have to keep him.


That's why I'm still sticking to 2RD....Gudas, Manson would be better than AP to me.

Trade Willy for Manson+ (maybe a gritty winger).

Rielly, Manson
Muzzin, Virtanen
Sandin, Gudas
Holl

That would be MUCH better than last season. Plus, we'd have some money for a Maroon or Simmonds to toughen up the rest of the line up.

Lets hope Kevin Cash has a stroke and pulls his pitcher after 3 innings.

Yeah, I saw that earlier. Sucks for the Raptors, but he's earned it.
