Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)

I'd rather not lose than lose with .. 'honour' (?) .. and signing the hunchback to a long term contract that makes him a marquee player on the team is not a great way to avoid losing regularly.

Re: NHL business

SKYO you left out the best part by a country mile. The Globe & Mail published a search of the unsealed emails here: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/incoming/nhl-unsealed-emails/article29425257/ Looks like a lot of email addresses follow the first initial last name format, so you can search "bburke" a...

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)

Is Vesey.. what.. the sixth guy in the last decade or so to do this? Is the best NHLer (of the guys whose original teams weren't compensated) Justin Schultz or am I missing someone? It's a kick in the teeth, but so is having a junior player choose to re-enter the draft after 2 years. That said, I'm ...

Re: Topper's Grilling Advice!

Going to second the roast chicken. Stick another dish of veg (carrots, parsnips, cauliflower etc) and/or potatoes in partway through, make a green salad (takes 5 minutes) and there's dinner. Maybe 15-20 minutes of work in total. Save half the bird and make soup or enchiladas or pasta with it (I like...

Re: The Great Jim Benning Debate!

Without getting into debating the debate... I think Bennings moves are mostly improving over time. Sutter for example, I'm okay with. I do think he ended up on the high side of contract negotiations yet again, which is frustrating but I won't make a mountain of it here. His drafting is obviously ver...

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)

Scott is entered in the hardest shot and shot accuracy competitions. They should've thrown him in the fastest skater competition. :D Next season @ the all-star competition, they should build a machine with big mats (kind of like that boxing punching ball @ the arcades), so that it can read the play...

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)

Forsling plays fifteen minutes a game, behind four other defensemen including Daniel Rahimi, so splitting hairs about Linkopings position in the standings probably isn't particularly useful.

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)

I wonder how much taxes have to do with that... http://www.taxpayer.com/media/CTF-HomeIceDisadvantage.pdf ($8.5M in Tampa is $9.864M in Toronto, guess where Stamkos is going to sign) :wink: That's a fun little rabbit hole to go down.. Stamkos would lose about 8% of his income to taxes signing in To...

Re: The Official CC "All Thing Leaves" thread

It's just the same fucking thing over and over again with Tuna. We get it. The peanut gallery in Toronto turns on players. Phil Kessel, Dion Phanuef. Kris Versteeg. Whoever else. Just because these players got trashed eventually doesn't mean there aren't five million homers - some of them in high le...

Re: The Official CC "All Thing Leaves" thread

You can't deny, though, that $1.2m for Kessel is a bargain.

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)

It's the combination of not having proven himself and expecting a top 6 role. He seems unwilling to take his 'lumps' which is concerning to me. No question he has a higher ceiling than McCann or Virtanen, I'm wary of giving up guys who have shown that maturity and deal with adversity like being scr...
