Nobody cares about your opinion on politics or frankly hockey....

Frankly. Thats eloquent.

Please talk some more about your love affair with a certain player. I'm sure "everyone" would love to hear more from the resident "adult who waits in a parking lot for an autograph from an athelete" guy.

I’ve been reading otherwise.

Especially when you have large earthquakes like they did in turkey.


Also apparently the earths core is slowing down, possibly related.

Hashtag I read some articles this morning but don’t quite understand them cause science.

I don’t think girgensons is great

He’s a 4th liner and does 4th liner duties.

There's room in the caboose , girgs starter kit.

Could be the other engineer by the cup finals....

Sure, I'd be happy to. It's a place where you are given a bunch of soundbytes that don't necessarily have to have any truth or facts behind them. You can just ask a question out loud and the mere fact that you asked it gives it some kind of validation. Unfortunately most of the topics center around topics that don't affect 99.99% of the population. Don't lose hope! Your keepers have given you all of the soundbytes that you need to spew on the rest of society. Don't fall into the trap of stopping to think if they are true or if anyone outside of your group even cares.

Good luck, soldier.

I'm not here to "bring anything to this board" I never even knew it existed until I left wny. Tire was pretty flat when I had a 716 number too.

This is probably a stupid question but was this related to the Turkey earthquake? I understand that was like 7000 miles away so it seems unlikely but I'm curious
- Hank Balling


im not enough of a geotech but earthquakes can definitely trigger other earthquakes. One of Turkey's magnitude can reach halfway around the world. I wouldn't be surprised to see other tiny earthquakes that you'd only see on local news.

He does 4th liner things half as well as other 4th liners, with 3rd line money.
- DirtyDan


Bingo!
I used to say he was overpaid by $700k … it’s easily $1.4m now. Point isn’t the money paid out now, rather the worth of the player.

They are, but none needed here. If one doesn't associate one's self with a group (any group) then you don't have to defend ideas put forth by that group that are not true or are fundamentally stupid.

I'd listen. His defensive numbers have tanked this year but historically have been pretty acceptable. Overall I'd still prioritize a dman as the big move.
- TheSabresTaco


You'd listen?

He's basically a 30 goal, nearly PPG player the past 3 seasons, making less than $6M per, at age 27 going on 28, and he has 2 seasons left on his deal.

He's an ideal addition to the top 6, especially for Cozens line, unless you want Cozens to continue playing 4th line 5v5 minutes.

His contract ending after the next 2 seasons also fits the timeline of the next wave of young players.

What won't work is just how much St. Louis will expect in a trade, as it will be a lot.

Yes, of course.
But that is two different places, so Dad has 1 in each?

Id prioritize D still and i can put that 5+ mil to better use.
- hubie


You can put the $5.8M to better use then what this guy has been doing the past 2.5 seasons?

https://www.capfriendly.c.../players/pavel-buchnevich

Question: Do you want Cozens to continue to play 3rd or 4th line 5v5 minutes?

If not, Buchnevich would be an ideal addition, from many aspects.

How much it would cost in a trade would hurt though.

Whatever the minimum pay is he deserves that. Cause he does the absolute bare.
