Rank Cdn teams, for 2021 Div-Order
Nuxfanabroad replied to Nuxfanabroad's topic in General Hockey Discussion
Good reasoning..but will wager you're selling the Habbies short. They appear to have almost all elements.(some age, however..health will be a ?) -
Wakin' up to Hockey Morn In Osaka(HMIO) is a pleasure. Yesterday hiking in nearby mtns, was a trace of snow. Got that winter's vibe, & quite amped-up for this one. Really like our lineup. But it's young at key spots..might be a few growin' pains. Let's keep patience, at least in the early goin'. Importantly, think we passed the worst of the cap-bottleneck. They prob buyout LE at season's end. Lineups should continue improving for a subsequent number of yrs.

Have to agree..will be close. Bet there's only a 10, 12 pt gap(top to bottom) when the reg season's done. -
Lessons Learned (Discussion)
Nuxfanabroad replied to J.I.A.H.N's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
JIHN, Would say you're kind of preaching to the choir here. You must recall, I've often been one to start up various proposals. Granny, Baer, BS, Tan-man, Brock..Hell, I'd even suggested places to deal the twins, 4 or 5 yrs back. Took some heat for many of these, but I too had quite strongly been advocating change. Interestingly when looking at this past half-decade(or so), would now say JB's patience & planning has been vindicated. From where we stand at this current juncture, now appears he might've hit just the right balance.. that quite surprises me. To contrast, look at Laffs/Dubas. Seems he's perpetually signing, swapping, promoting, demoting bodies at helter-skelter pace. He's a whack-a-mole varmint, trying to endlessly dodge the max-cap hammer. What kinda loyalty/chemistry does a franchise build, goin' thru bodies like a McD's hir/firing youth? COVID: But let's be honest, had there not been this crazy virus, we prob would've signed as many vets as poss(if cap were 83, 84 mill). It sped up our transition towards the younger wave. With the drafting JB(& Brackett) have given us, everything might be coming together perfectly. Consistently drafting well can patch over almost any unexpected mayhem, mishap or blunder(s). -

[Official] 2021 Training Camp Thread

Received a Canuck calendar over the holidays. The Missus said he's the most handsome monthly dude. Under my salt & pepper dwindling patch, insane jealousy is building up like Yellowstone... -

This was an off-season of necc moves, on steroids(for almost all clubs). The COVID-crunch has pretty much ensured this will likely carry into the NEXT 1 or 2 off-seasons as well. So THANK Hockey Gawds that: -TD played SOOOO amazing in that 3 gm PO-cameo - We have so many contracts coming off the books - " " " " " arriving ELC's of apparent size, speed and/or skill at virtually all positions - Our young kids are of obvious charm & character, who will likely help intro new faces in their inimitably awesome, seamless fashion - With all this in mind, I'm gonna buy some lotto tix this wk(ensuring top-end whiskey, to view our Northern-assault) There's nothing here to debate... -
Evander Kane files for Bankruptcy
Nuxfanabroad replied to Chronic.Canuck's topic in General Hockey Discussion
Truth? Who's truth? My pov, is pro puck players are the most REASONably compensated of all these pro gamesmen. They're all overpaid, & that's the Truth! Decades back it got outa' whack. One reason I haven't been watching pro sport(save my vice, pro ice hockey), for 3 decades. -
Evander Kane files for Bankruptcy
Nuxfanabroad replied to Chronic.Canuck's topic in General Hockey Discussion
Sounds to me like a favoured US market using the poor vices & choices of a sketchy character, to wriggle outa' 35 mill/5 yrs!!! of cap-commitment. Let's just declare that Bro LouiE has a bad gamblin'-fix, & a house fulla dependents, eh?! -
Slew foots are unnecessarily dangerous. I hope these 2 were not as blatant as they appeared on my small pc screen. I like Motte a lot..but this looked like some excessive risk. That said, am sure the coaches nip it in the bud.
