I was, and continue to be, extremely pro Juolevi. He's going to be a hell of a D in a few years.
FTR I would have loved to have picked up another top 10 pick and grabbed Sergachev as well. But I still would have taken OJ first.
Okay...you are on the record. Let me be on the record as hating the pick when it occurred and hating it more and more as time passes, until he made a nice assist yesterday, at which time my hatred ceased to increase for a moment. Just starting to watch today.

Incorrect, there were a number of us very high on Juolevi. I was, and I remember J.R. discussing it positively. There were a few others who agreed, and a number more who didn't think he'd be a bad pick 5th overall even if they wanted someone else.
Who'd you vote for in the poll.

that's a good play

So did he play well on that goal against. He looked pretty bad to me.

He's playing on the Blue Jackets this year, not in junior. 19 points in 39 games as a 19 year old NHL rookie is pretty solid, he has really been turning it up recently. Not everyone is Brock Boeser
lol....Cape Breton....CBJ.....smh.

Since the Draft was in Buffalo, and the Sabres were picking soon after, wouldn't it be more likely that any audible groan was a response in disappointment that he was no longer on the table? I know I probably made a similar noise when both Dubois then Puljujarvi were taken.
Buffalo is close to the border and rife with Canuck fans in it's own right, as we know. So Canuck fans were there, ready to celebrate picking Dubois or Tkachuk.

Your memory fails you. Many were very high on OJ.
I guess. He had plenty of support at #2. A lot of people wanted Dubois. Two votes at #1 for OJ.
Here's the groan. lol.

Yeah, weird. It's almost as though weather patterns in the Pacific Northwest are loaded with variables that are difficult to project.
Right, just like the earth's climate, that's what he said. But the sun has gone to sleep. Not a single sunspot this month. Greenland ice cap grew last year. The little ice age talk is back.

Here's hoping for a nice hot rebound. Melt baby melt.

Well put, but I would just add that Juolevi was in everyone’s top 8 so Benning didn’t really go off the board.
Well, there was that audible groan in the building when Benning announced his pick. If I recall correctly, Winter Soldier was the only person here who wanted us to pick OJ prior to the actual draft.

Brock reminds me of....

Sounds like someone needed a bare trust.
Care to elaborate?

Hi Harv,
Longtime follower and fan of your work here. I had to make a cdc account to ask a question to which I'm not sure you would have an answer because it's more of accounting question than a real estate one, but I'm sure you've seen a lot of different things so maybe you could pass on a possible tip.
Five years ago I used my Homeowner Line of credit to put 20% down to buy a home for my son and his wife (so technically my second home). I was essentially just acting as a bank for him, he would give me the money for the mortgage payments every month until he had built up enough equity so he would have a down payment and then could go get his own loan and buy the house from me.
eg. I purchased for 500K five years ago, he has paid it down to 400K, I will now give him 100K for a down payment so he can go get a loan to buy it off me for 500K.
So everything has worked out as planned. I figured if I sell for the same price as I bought I can avoid tax issues. But now I'm wondering if there is some obvious "play" I might be foolish not to take advantage of in this situation...or maybe there is an obvious problem lurking?
The market has been fairly stable here so the selling price being the same is not unreasonable.
Really, I'm just looking for a general comment to send me in a direction to investigate if necessary.
Thanks! @Harvey Spector

Big step up for OJ today. . The difference between someone who is playing and someone who is hiding. Too bad he didn't score in the shootout
