Sweet jeebus just don't let 20th Century Fox anywhere near Marvel films for life. Might as well have Roger Corman do another Fantastic Four film.

[Speculation] Lucic says he would like to play here

In Dubynk defense, if you have to wallow in the cesspool that was the Oilers franchise, it’s hard not for the manure to rub off on you. Took a while for him to wash the stink off of him. -
I personally could care less if Benning drove the Canucks into the toilet for TWENTY years (forget one decade) if he brought the franchise a Cup like Holland did (multiple times in fact). Then I could finally die a happy man.

Actually I think the only NMCs Gillis handed out was to the Sedins. Tough to argue against those as both of them won the Art Ross trophy during the time the NMCs were in effect. Benning actually gave a NMC to Eriksson. Thankfully, it was only for the first two years of his deal. Gillis use of NTCs & NMCs tend to get overblown. His problems were drafting & waited WAY too long before trying to overhaul the amateur scouting department.

(Rumour) Ken Holland to Edmonton?

Yeah I think that’s the guy. I also think he’s the dad of that overpaid Laff player today. -

Like that player (I forgot his name but I think Gillis was his agent) first said yes but was able to back out because he wasn’t sent the paperwork in time. It’s like he was drunk when he first agreed to sign with the Oilers but eventually the beer googles effect wore off and he realized....oh ****, I don’t want to go THERE. -
I'm guessing Epic won't have as liberal of a refund policy as Steam. Great for game publishers like the ones that sold Fallout 76 for retail (and not have to worry about refunding disgruntled gamers who bought a AAA game that was a beta).

What gave the WHL (old World Hockey League) legitimacy was the signing of Bobby Hull. They were pestering him a long time to sign with them so Bobby Hull gave a rediculous number for him to sign a contract so they would quit bothering him. Hull’s problem was that they actually then offered him that contract! At least that’s how I remember it.... -

Hiring and keeping Willie Desjardins for three full seasons is all on him. His biggest mistake. -

Closest equivalent I can come up with in another sport (and I'm sure I'm missing at least one obvious one ) is Babe Ruth. Great pitcher (defense is a sense that you prevent the other team from scoring) and an even better hitter (offense). In fact, his pitching might be a little underrated as he might've gone in the hall of fame strictly as a pitcher had he not gone to playing a non-pitching role on a team early in his career. But this thread is about Kelly. A legit HHOFer. Wasn't just merely switching positions but switching positions while he was ALREADY an established more than solid NHLer. -

I had a bowel movement today that was more valuable than Lucic is now. -
