Is Barzals new contract a suitable target for Robertsom...some puts and takes between the two
- IonSabres

Probably close, but Barzal has like 4yrs of real solid production. Hopefully Krebs turns into that.

Barzal's production was down since his PPG year 1... to ~0.85.
But he plays C and the contract includes several years of UFA.

I'd think it is in the park as well. Maybe 8 @ $8.25 - $8.5m

Hes been his most productive on Cozens line, Hope Cozens takes the next step with his scoring

I would take 15-20 goals and 40-45 assists every year out of Krebs.

I think your hitting the nail on the head there. He was nearly that last year over a full season on Cozens line. About 15 apples short over a full season.

No, reading yours does though.
I see a little girl in a school dress throwing a hissy fit at lunch because her P&J sandwich is up-side-down.

Actually feeling decent about this season.

Bought tickets to the 11/10 VGK game. Surprising my son that day as we're picking him up from school and driving up.

Last year went to RJ night, my wife and son are now lifelong fans. They were blown away at how excited y'all were.

How's everyone doing?

I actually was in on a study of this and watching with this type of ad really wasn't that bad. It's something you just get used to not paying attention to. They are more noticeable during stoppages. Not during the play.

That's cool, how'd you get hooked up with that?

My issue is that it mirrors a problem with a lot of our product choices these days: the product is worse than it used to be while still increasing in price. Even if it's a minor distraction, I think everyone would agree it's not an improvement, and the end user has no choice in the matter. And in this case, the consumer just has to accept it because there isn't an alternative product available.

Im still waiting on the signing of Portillo and Johnson that Gerbe had confirmed was about to happen
- DirtyDan



Has anyone heard from Gerbe? I haven’t seen him around in a long while. Did the leaf mods get him too? Hope you are doing well out there Gerbe.

It was just a little quip. I'd be happy to pay more in fact if I knew they were trying to ice a winner. $2,062 per ticket is pretty not bad to be fair.
