  1. Well, my team is dependant on 4 teams in order to be successful: Arizona: Galchenyuk, Schmaltz, Kessel Winnipeg: Connor, Hellebuyck, Vesalainen Toronto: Johnsson, Ceci (Zaitsev trade after July 1st) Los Angeles: Toffoli, Iaffalo I’ll get enough points to make the playoffs, but not to get far.
  2. Thanks to @Azzy for the friendly negotiations. This is all about beefing up my defence. While I have a decent forward group as well, I needed to start drafting and trading for a solid backend. I don’t have a first round or second round pick next year. But, I’m fairly confident I have a strong enough team to get a playoff spot. Leading into the off-season, here’s what the Flames roster looks like: Connor - Larkin - Kessel Johnsson - Schmaltz - Galchenyuk Iaffalo - Bonino - Toffoli Vesalainen - Lindblom - Kravtsov Smith Pelly Ekblad - Chabot Larsson - Ceci Bortuzzo - Schuldt Belpedio Hellebuyck Khudobin Once I see who the free agents are, I’ll see whether free agency, trade, or standing pat is my next course of action. That said, really excited about my future on defence: Dylan Samberg Sean Durzi Philip Broberg Mattias Norlinder
  3. *GM Monty walking into the office after all the extensions, with $13M+ in cap space and a full roster*
  4. @Mike Vanderhoek That’s alright. Think there’s a few more to post for me. Could be wrong.
  5. Shin Godzilla 2016 Japanese Godzilla film. Sits at 86% on RT. Yeah, how much can we really trust RT nowadays. But for a non Hollywood film, that’s pretty trustworthy. Great Godzilla movie. Much different take, as this is focused a lot more on the government side, and how the decision making that would go into dealing with something you’ve never prepared for, and the hoops government has to jump through to get something done, if anything.
  6. If you need me to lock the thread before people post in it, let me know.
  7. I wouldn’t exactly call Ovechkin a player that makes others around him better. But sure.
  8. Oh, you mean when they won the President’s Trophy and made the Cup Finals. So, just like the Canucks, just without that Luongo noose around their necks. Gotcha
  9. Which, and it’s certainly possibility that it is, that would account for 14.4% of the teams total salary. Which is in line for elite franchise players in relation to their club, which EP and his track record have given every indication that he will be to the Canucks. If a team has an elite franchise player, then you don’t mind paying that money to them. That just means you have a player every other team in the NHL wishes they had.
  10. EP was going to. Get more than $10M far before this news came out. Nylander’s contract, and the increasing cap, made sure of that. Don’t be surprised if, when EP negotiates his contract, that his AAV is in the $13M range.
  11. Off the top of my head, only two other wingers in the league make their teammates better, like Panarin, and that’s Kane and Marner. The guy deserves to get paid because he does it all, both offensively and defensively. And, on the same note with the Rangers, their defensive core just improved greatly with Trouba and Fox. And, with Kakko and Kravtsov playing next season as well, their team will be a lot better next season. To the point where they’ll be buyers at the deadline.
  12. Another trade out of Calgary. Although, this is a smaller one to start building up our defence.
  13. Oh, I know. Which is why I said: Aging rock stars don’t come across as sincere or genuine when they try and relate to everyday folk. If Bono, at 59 years of age, trotted out a single about growing up with a widowed father and telling kids in a video pandering to teens that “You’re not alone”, it again, comes across as pandering. Especially in Whimbly’s case where he’s been irrelevant for what, 15 years? That song isn’t anything the world hasn’t heard a million times before. And, if “trotted out” by a much younger singer on their first album where they haven’t been rich and famous for decades, or if by an aging multi-millionaire who’s nearly 40, perhaps a less generic song.
