  1. Carolina Hurricanes Going to cap off my trading today. Need to pack and get ready tomorrow before I leave Thursday morning.
  2. For me, it was one of those times where the actor carried the series. I’ve sort of been waiting for Lyonne to have a role that she could carry. From what I know about her and her history, she’s an awfully smart and clever person. Co-created and co-wrote the series, which was impressive. Don’t think there are many actresses that could believably pull of her character. Perhaps I was a little harsh. I wasn’t bored, because I did take the time to finish it. It was good. Not great. I know they intend it to be a 3 season run, as Lyonne mentioned that although each season can be taken as its own (in case it gets cancelled), they always had an overall vision for 3 seasons.
  3. Alright ladies, home stretch for me. Hoping to complete last trade for my big playoff run. It’s my last one that’s a “need”. Anything else is pretty much unexpected and likely “future for future” deals. I’ve had a few discussions with GMs interested in Ukko-Pekka. Those trades have centered around him for a forward prospect. Although, defensive prospect isn’t something I’d say no to. There have been quite a number of inquiries on Bowers, but no offers. If you want to get something done, reach out soon. Not much time left for me before I’m gone.
  4. I finished it about a week ago and already forget most of it. Was impressed with Natasha Lyonne’s performance. Don’t think the series would have been watchable without her. Otherwise, I was actually pretty bored.
  5. Soderbergh, for the most part, is a reliable director. Contagion was a very underrated, and forgotten movie. But this was nonsense.
  6. 2001 CGI: 2019 CGI: And as a frame of reference, this was 2002. You know, what happens when you care:
  7. Everyone looking forward to the new live action Aladdin? Will Smith as the genie looks like, well, a nightmare.
  8. Really boring movie. I couldn’t get past the 10 minute mark.
  9. Carolina Hurricanes One pending deal in the works, hinging completely on another deal going through. While I leave on Thursday, hoping to finalize my deals today so I can focus on, you know, packing.
  10. That’s the best thing I’ve seen in a while. I don’t know what fan base I feel worse for, Edmonton or Ottawa. No, I do. It’s Ottawa.
  11. Personally, I want to see Montreal win the lottery. @Patrick Kane took over a team with no prospects of note and no draft picks.
  12. Not sure about the trade to begin with, actually. I inherited Chicago and had the pick already.
  13. @JimLahey One guess as to who has your current 3rd overall pick this year
  14. Thanks to @gmen81 for the really quick negotiations. I think I first reached out back in October, but nothing ever came to fruition. Finally, I sent in an offer (which was essentially the above) on Friday, and this came together quickly thereafter. While not happy with the hit in rep I’ll take for extending Zaitsev in October and then trading him now, I also feel like Letang is the difference maker I need come playoff time; assuming the Pens make the playoffs. The bigger hit for me is moving O’Brien and Brook, both of whom are expansion ineligible, and good (O’Brien) to great (Brook) prospects. However, with Kotkaniemi, Armia, Hart, and Voracek, I feel as though I’m set for Habs and Philly rep, so the two were somewhat expendable, especially when bringing in Letang. With Letang comes huge health risks, and an increase in roster age. But the Pens will never be a rebuilding team, and my team is in a “win now” mode.
  15. High Flying Bird New Steven Soderbergh film that was made for Netflix, and his second movie in a row that was filmed entirely on an iPhone. Premise? NBA lockout following a sports agent. Interested? You shouldn’t be. It’s awful.
  16. With all the deals lately, you’d think the deadline was yesterday. No trades at all today?
  17. It’s been 23 hours since my last trade, which means it’s time for another one. Me looking at my roster:
  18. The Boston Bruins have signed free agent Hunter Drew to a 2 year contract, worth $1.85M ($925k AAV). @JE14 @Nail
  19. News out of Carolina that Nikita Zaitsev has fallen out of favour. The defender was just extended by the Hurricanes at the beginning of October. However, his play was apparently not to GM Monty’s standards and he was pulled out of the game after the first period. Word is that two star prospects have also been shipped out.
  20. The Carolina Hurricanes have just made a big trade. Stay tuned.
