  1. Cap hit is pro-rated for the number of remaining games in the season. So the later we make the trade, the lower the cap hit to the receiving team.
  2. Jim is out here trading a 10 for a 5, a looney and a twoney. "See, we got 3 pieces back, which gives us more depth, and two of them are metal which is better than paper."
  3. Totally, and (as you mentioned) it's not covid-specific. Urging someone to exercise just because of covid is a bit funny though. Obesity is the leading cause of preventable death in the US. More than smoking, car crashes, drug use, etc. If people were dying from not exercising before, I'm not sure adding one more disease to the list of thousands that are made worse by obesity will change anything?
  4. Marco Rossi from the Wild had covid in November. Long-term issues were caught during training camp in January and he was shut down for the season and sent home. He's expected to fully recover, eventually. But he's still not fit to play 6 months after testing positive.
  5. MacKinnon didn't take a discount. When he signed his deal his career high in points was 63 (in his rookie season) and he followed that up with a 38 and a 52 point season. He looked like a 50-60 point second line centre who might have some unrealized potential. 6.3 million AAV was fair market value for him. He didn't break out until his 5th year (2nd year on his current deal).
  6. Yeah man, it's tough. Drs rely on a patient's perceived pain to get enough understanding of what's going on to order the correct tests. It can take a while to break through to team-first guys that they need to be honest about it. You usually get 'yeah it hurts a bit, but not that bad' because they think that admitting it hurts means they aren't tough or they'll let their team down.
  7. Doesn't have to be every single infraction. If we want a defenceman to be able to hold up a forward at the blueline for 0.25 seconds without a call, that's a-okay. If we want defencemen to be able to give opposing forwards a push when they're in the crease, that's okay too. What needs to happen is that call gets made the same every time, no matter the score, no matter how lopsided the penalties are in the game. If team A is up 2-0, they should not have a shorter leash in the name of 'game management'. If team A has had the last three power plays, a ref should not be looking to call a penalty against them to 'even it up'.
  8. The team did have control over the Buff situation and just mangled it. The team thought he was malingering, turns out he had a real injury. He didn't want to go back to a team that thought he was a liar. I'm honestly not too familiar with Heinola, I'll look into him. Maybe they can recover
  9. That conference final was their peak though. Their defence is a shadow of the 2018 team. I would be surprised if the current Jets ever make it past the 2nd round.
  10. He was placed on LTIR, so he's not available until after our by-week.
  11. Hey Jack, do you have an album of all these parody hockey cards somewhere on the internet? They're so good
  12. I'd love to see him over here again to see what he can do. Even if he's just a 16-18 minute per night #5 D who can PK, I'd be happy. I wouldn't hold my breath on his return though. 50/50 odds (my baseless speculation, I'm not claiming to be an authority) he never steps foot in North America again imo.
  13. So there are two different lists of requirements. 1) Who is eligable to be selected (and the team must use a protection slot on if they wish to keep them). And 2) Minimum exposure requirements. Each team must leave a minimum number of "veterans" exposed. Each team must leave 2 forwards and 1 D who meet these games played requirements exposed Joulevi meets the 1) criteria and must be protected if we don't want Seattle to be able to take him. But he needs more games played to meet the 2) requirements for an exposed veteran D man.
  14. I'll never forget John's call during that fight: "Someone get him a ladder!"
  15. 11-0 Canucks, Vesey with the winner. That is not a typo
  16. Yes, they absolutely will target it. Especially when you play the same team several games in a row.
  17. They only thing great about The Last Jedi is that it sucked so much I didn't bother waisting 2 hours in the theater with Rise of Skywalker. So I guess I can thank it for that lol
