  1. Exactly.. I don't see how he gets a raise up to anything over 1.2mil when his production is worse than the year after which he signed for 900k... And like you said, we could find these guys easily next year in FA and even evaluate them via PTOs before signing.
  2. Right so you trade him for a guy older than him, who can't play C, who has 10pts in 73 games...
  3. Won't lie, I'm pretty pissed off about losing Gaud, but fleeced "again"? Are you talking about Forsling?
  4. Is the non-variant of covid not also highly contagious? Or at least contagious enough where there is a very high likelihood of spread after sitting in the locker room next to people, skating, etc.?
  5. Hard to imagine how this is possible when the mortality rate is >1%.....
  6. Yeah, "only" two hundred people died a death that could have been prevented (I wonder how quickly you'd change your tune if one of those 200 was someone close to you). So, since you claim to know better than the Canadian CDC, mind letting us know what would be the # of dead in excess of that 200, if we were to follow your plan?
  7. Ah yes, the ol' "should I go to Hawaii today or catch a game?" dilemma
  8. I don't personally look at any of those sites.. those are just the #'s that I have seen going around
  9. They are just far too temperamental to bother putting much stock into. The fact that your playoff odds can literally triple over a time period of a few days, obviously means they weren't very accurate to start with
  10. I mean to truly figure it out, sure.. but you don't need to be a math guru or a statistician to know that 5 teams cannot all be considered probable to make the playoffs when there are only 4 spots
  11. please explain to me how FIVE teams in the same division with FOUR playoff spots, all have a higher chance of making the playoffs than missing them then?
  12. I literally just said that what I think is a farce is how much stake people put on these odds.. when it's quite possible for these two teams projections to be completely inverse of each other less than a week from now, how can you claim that one team has a 6.9% chance while the other has a 58% chance? The reality is that both teams have a <50% chance to make the playoffs (by the way, 5 Canadian teams have odds >50% which further proves my point that the whole thing is a farce)
  13. I get that.. but when a 1-2 game swing could change that entirely and there are still 23-26 games to go for those teams, it's ridiculous to me to claim that Calg has a 50% higher chance of making the playoffs. I understand the data supports those numbers but what is a farce is how much stake people put on these % odds
  14. I find it funny that the "odds" currently show a 6.9% chance for Van, and a 58% chance for Calg, of making the playoffs.. Calgary is a .500 team.. so fair to assume they get an extra 3 points from those 3 games in hand, giving them 34 points vs. our 32. So my question is, how the hell does being a single W behind make our odds of making the playoffs over 50% lower than Calgary's?? To me it just shows that all these predictors are just a farce. lets just watch some hockey and enjoy it. Can't wait for this weekend's games
  15. Who woulda thunk! Talking in absolutes 20 games into a season was premature...
  16. Exactly. I mean I know he isn't having the year most of us expected from him, but no-one seems to be accounting for the fact that Petey is out as well currently.. not to mention Motte being out for a long time now and the other recent injuries. It's going to take a lot of convincing for me not to remain pissed about the schedule lol...
  17. I was aware that this year we actually had a favourable schedule re. being rested, but usually not the case and, as has been discussed ad nauseum, other things about the schedule sucked this year. I don't disagree with you though. I don't think we are good enough either. But maybe more practice at the start and 2 of our early losses become W's and suddenly the playoff race would've been more interesting this entire time. Yes you say they have more practice time now and are still playing bad, but they are winning more games..
  18. Ever since they started analyzing the games played vs. rested & rested played vs. tired, etc... yes, it does seem like our sched sucks every year. And what do you expect? Of course people aren't going to complain about the schedule if things are going well.. doesn't mean they didn't have to overcome a $&!#ty schedule to do so
  19. I mean it would've been nice to just get a schedule close to whatever the average was... especially considering VAN already has more travel than most teams every year
