So repetitive! It was Fallout in Space meets a load screen. The fact you can't take off, fly around and then land your own ship made everything feel too disconnected for me.

why can't Comrie back up Levi all on his own? My question is, why can't they just cut the cord with UPL?

My feeling is they just want to see if Levi can survive majority starts this season. If it appears he can, they'll be fine cutting one. Think this happens when Quinn is ready.

- TheSabresTaco


I think they get trapped in the idea that UPL could develop into something and Comrie likely isn't in their plans for next year. How UPL develops without playing is a great question.

'Might' get claimed on waivers is getting in the way of fairly unimportant decisions.

My 2 cents for what it’s worth on Adams off season moves.
I don’t agree he did all he could by any means but maybe there was more at play.

Making move for Chickenman, Dumba, or any other top 4 D-man before Dahlin signed could have back fired potentially.
I’ll give him that pass.
Top 6 winger to play on Cozens line. This was a miss. Could have easily signed one of many guys who took a 1 year deal to bridge the gap between development and Quinn’s injury.

Tuch/Tage/Skimmer
JJ/Cozens/Tarasenko(or many others) Quinn
Greenway/Mitts/Krebs/Tarasenko
Jost/Larryposo/Larrysons

Goalie
Tough one here. Who could we have signed that would fit as a sort term splitter with Levi?

On another note;
Olofsson
Just waive his ass and maybe he quits if not picked up and we save some money

i think they're pretty certain they'd lose either of them. Decent points you bring up though. Can't imagine it would be too hard to re-sign Comrie if UPL was gone. Or, ya know, someone else.

2 sh!tty games/companies cant make a good one...

Every video game is the same old lately. Played Starfield for maybe 2 weeks. Way to repetitive, way to similar to all of Bethesda's other games. Stories weren't even interesting.

I'm not sure I can really agree here. They're playing their best goalie. They upgraded the bottom of their defense. They kept an 18 year old kid who proved he belonged, and benched a bum in only 2 games.

I think they're trying very hard to win.

- TheSabresTaco


Fair points but id say the goalie is by default. No one can argue he was given the job before he was out of college. Levi playing to or above expectation is needed for this argument to hold

Benson forced his way here and that is also a good thing. Its also fair to say he's the better option because no other options were looked at. A pleasant surprise

We all knew olo would have a short leash

I think they know they'd likely lose UPL. Cheap, young, and has some potential. Comrie's salary elimnates half the teams in the league. He'd likely clear, but I think they see him as the better G today and he's apparently a big vibes guy.

If they hold onto UPL for the season, what then? Likely won't be comfortable with him as your backup again next year and very little trade value as an RFA.

I dont get how holding UPL as the 3rd helps him in any way.

Doesn't play, splits net in practice, sits in the presser. Would piss me off if I was him.

Hows he going to get better that way? Hows that fair to his development

100%, I love me some NMS. If you could take Starfield questing and put it into NMS, that's a top5 game ever made IMO.

Didn't it take them like 6 years to finally make No Mans Sky into what they advertised upon release?

- QuinnFan


I've seen this complaint all over the place and I have no idea what people are talking about. The only load screen I see is when I load the game the first time. All I get is like a second and a half of black while an interior loads. That's not nearly enough to whine about. Unless you're talking the cut scenes when you take off and land or dock, but that's not nearly frequent enough to whine about either.

No idea. I rarely listen to those propped up gamecon type videos professing THIS GAME IS THE GREATEST EVER!

Play and find out for yourself. NMS was fun. Getting to the middle of the galaxy gave a side goal as well that was actually fun and hard to figure out. It was the barren state of the game outside the space stations that ruined it for me. If you could blend the two though...

*chef's kiss*

Please keep in mind I still play ESO religiously. I am easily amused.

I dont need to see my ship thruster 10 feet off the ground and then be in space, only to then to black screen across 3 galaxies to then see my ship land on a planet. Every. 10 . minutes.

Elder scrolls Online?

Another huge let down IMO. World of Warcraft(a shtt version) on console.

I was so excited for ESO when it came out only to waste my damn money

edit: OH MY that was 9 years ago!?!?!?!?

My opinions are old. I know nothing of these games anymore lol

It's a bit different than that. Space is supposed to feel very vast and by making fast travelling the same as Fallout, they made it feel all interconnected and rather small. Remember, you never actually explore anything. You just get a quest on a planet, click the map and you're in orbit around the destination, then hit a pinpoint to take you directly to that location. In comparison, in Fallout, you had to at least find a place before you could simply fast travel to and from it. So naturally it felt more realistic and connected, since you were actually finding something. In Starfield, since you can't explore, the fast travelling makes everything feel small and yet disjointed at the same time. I shouldn't be able to get a quest, travel to an unknown planet in 2 seconds, kill the bad guy, and be returned within 5 feet of the quest giver. Make me run to my ship...make me takeoff or lander the fooker...or at least let me fly around space and find some asteroid or moon to land on. You can literally see all the planets laid out upon download. It leaves little to the imagination,to the dismay of many per reviews.

So one of Levi of UPL is going to be sitting for two months at a time because they play to play Levi this much.

Why do they need three goalies again?

- ImThatGuy

What do you expect to get for UPL/Comrie? Does the return help them this season? You're likely to get a mid round pick that will take 3-6 years if they ever develop.

The other option is send one of them down and they get claimed by Tampa.

Does not hurt us by holding them so at this point it's not a big deal.

I lovvvvve it. When it came out it was super buggy, but it is the console version of WoW now. It is expensive to play though, you're right, really $30/month for live and the membership to get access to everything. I just play in the cold weather months and cancel in April once I'm working outside again.

As I said, easily amused lol. What do you play?

Right, it's the same with running around on planets. The invisible barriers and repopulating back on the landing site was annoying. I was so excited for that game, I think modders will save it too, but needs something more to keep engaged.
