Around the NHL

[Adam da bomb]

I think you are overestimating just how ready he is. It seems so many young players carve the Liga up these days and then require a significant adjustment period when they try to transition.

I am happy with his performance but don't take it to mean he is ready to come in and be able to be an everyday top 4 dmen let alone challenge any of the top 3 on the team.

He will still need some time to adjust and will likely take him a year to grow into a top 4 player.

I thought he was as good as Pionk last year and expect more growth from a guy a year older.

He only played 7 games. Far too short of a sample to read that much into it.

NHL, NHLPA no longer negotiating CBA financials, targeting Jan. 13 start with 56-game schedule - TSN.ca

Can we start getting excited again?

I don't think so. They still need to go back to those financial issues.

For the 56 game season that might happen, sure I guess, but for the future of the league.... " I'll take NHL lockouts for $500... "

On Monday, the NHL and the NHL Players’ Association agreed to push aside their differences in economic philosophy... basically they both agreed to kick that can down the road.

As for the Jets, you might have to get used to calling them the Fargo Jets or such name, as it doesn't look like they will be playing in Winnipeg anytime soon.

Wonder how Leaf fans will feel about the Muskegon Leafs, can't have a Canadian Division without teams playing in Canada

If Calgary had to head south, they should call the team the Montana Wildhacks.

The fact they can't come to a agreement over millions of dollars at this time is just disgusting if you ask me. Seriously get your heads out of your ass's and take a look at the real world right now, unreal.

 

[surixon]

The rational makes sense if they are self testing and following strict protocols.

Other businesses are operating during COVID so no real issue with this.

I do remain a but concerned with regards to brining in other teams but perhaps by mid January things aren't so bad here.

If you went to buy a car right now, would you just pay the first number asked for? Or would you still negotiate the same as normal?

Fighting over whatever pot of money that may be there doesn't say anything about either sides grasp of reality. At this point it is just negotiating. Now if either side actually takes their bat and ball and goes home, that is a different story. If we see millionaires whining and crying in public about being hard done by after it is all settled, that is a different story.

Things are looking a little encouraging here right now - but with a test positivity rate that is still 13%+ we can't get too optimistic yet.

Yup. It has stabilized somewhat but at a fairly high level. We need to see some gradual sustained decline in the numbers over the next 3 to 4 weeks.

In the real world you aren't buying a car because you don't want to spend that kind of money right now.

Daily new cases has come down. Daily deaths and positivity rates have come down much less. It is that positivity rate that bothers me but I expect it will drop pretty sharply soon.

I bought a new car in June. It was time. It was a bit of a strange process, but I negotiated like normal.

so, what did you buy, big spender ??

Apparently Vegas trying to move Patches. Everyone is going to request full trade protection or not sign there if they keep moving out marque players a year after signing extensions.

Apparently upwards of 2/3 of people will do just that these days.

So few people pay cash for cars that they don't care what the car costs.....They just care how much per month...
When I bought my car last year and wanted to pay by certified cheque they guy looked at me like I had 2 heads

 

[Buffdog]

Still horseshit. My kids physical and social health revolves around hockey. One of them goes to school with all the girls on her team. This is a double standard, like weed stores open/gyms closed, etc that undermines the governments own efforts.

Fun Thread on the trade board to read people just hate Vegas, man.

Sorry, none left.

 

[bustamente]

Wasn't Vegas trying to trade MAF earlier in the year, they throw money around like drunken sailors and think that the rest of teams will bail them out, as always and forever F*** Vegas
