on the contrary, i am shocked when warde manuel takes action, not when he sits around and waits for someone else to do something.

pens lost. everything else was bad.

this is what the playoffs are going to look like.

the only thing they care about with basketball is that it doesnt embarass them like the fab five scandal did at the time. beilein was such the perfect michigan basketball coach.

8x11.6

ridiculously bad management. again. i wonder what adam silver thinks as he sits in a 1/3 filled arena. a once proud franchise turned into a national joke by its drunk coked out hedge fund owner who only cares about the asset value. can the league force him to sell? but first he has to pay off monty williams.

and now they bought out shake milton. what was the point of all those trade deadline deals? we bought out three of the players we traded for. what's the point?

adam silver in the crowd tonight. please save us from tom gores. i know you won't. what if we can make it a social justice thing? he owns a company that takes advantage of prisoners who are mostly black. can we use that to make him sell the team like you did with sterling? please?

the cavs are sitting their two best players and YOURE DOWN 21 POINTS IN THE THIRD QUARTER! AT HOME! TO A TEAM THAT JUST PLAYED AN OVERTIME GAME ON THE ROAD!!!!

that would be cheap for a goff extension. he could demand $60 million per and get it. especially with the increase in the cap.

its a business. for god's sake were "lucky" they dont have ads up and down the jerseys like they do in europe.

they can offer them bridge contracts after this year, but it will be better to sign them both long term now. 8×8.5 for seider and 7x7.5 for raymond is what max has them at. he also has kane down for $5m next year which i think is ambitious. kane has shown he's still a point per game player. i think its going to be more like $7m. i know he's old and coming off a bad injury, but guys like him age well (if the hip truly is no longer an issue).

the wings have the cap space to offer him $5-7 mil per year for 2 or 3 years. i dont know who else has the space to offer him more where he would want to play. does he really want to go back to chicago? anaheim? san jose?

depends on the cost. theyre about to run into some cap concerns next year if they traded for tkachuk. with that said, he could be their brendan shanahan. also, i very much doubt ottawa would trade him to detroit.

or uninterested in a rental defender he doesnt want to re-sign.

i think its more likely that petersson becomes the highest (or one kf the highest) paid players in hockey than he gets traded.

i do suspect at some point they will have to deal for a "star" if they want to compete for cups. they got lucky this year and found patrick kane on the scrap heap and signed him for nothing. i doubt that happens in the future (or ever). yzerman has said before that he'd rather trade for known players than draft picks. he has had a few years to build up the barren farm system and had done a great job of it. i dont think they should be dealing prospects for rentals, theyre not at that point this year, but over the summer? maybe someone shakes loose like a tkachuck or kyle connor in winnipeg with their financial problems? as you say, now they have the prospect ammo to go get them.

once again buffalo is the atop the prospect lists and at the bottom of the standings, looking to trade previously top rated prospects because they cant pay them all. you have to wonder if a better strategy would be to do what yzerman did: sign a bunch of veterans to blend in with the youth. make the younger players wait. (and sign patrick kane)

that's a great deal for dallas. not sure what calgary is doing there. they must like the prospect better than others do. they're taking a lot of heat in the media for that deal.

red wings at #2. edvinsson asp kasper danielson cossa augustine mazur wallinder buchelnikov soderblom buium gibson dower-nilsson lombardi johannson no top 10 forwards, but two top 10 d's and the only org with two top 10 goalies. two or three forwards who will be solid nhl players.

berggren too. guy scored double digit goals in the nhl as a 22 year old. i suspect its edvinsson asp danielson cossa kasper mazur augustin wallinder johannsen gibson buium berggren might have aged out of it. they may not have that one guy who profiles as a top prospect, but they have a ton of depth.

so the pistons dont play muscala after he made a decently successful debut. obviously better than wiseman. and then buy him out so he's free to join a contender. tell me again who his agent is?

muscala trade wasnt the b&b trade, it was the bagley salary dump that we had to give two picks away to do.

ausar thompson had almost as many made 3s as the whole bulls team.

its always nice to beat the bulls, but they won this game because the bulls couldnt shoot. they werent missing contested jumpers, they were missing EVERYTHING. badly. 2/29 from 3. for an nba team?
