he's 21 years old. people make mistakes when theyre that age. from a football standpoint, there were rumblings before this about his lack of motivation to play. that would be a bigger concern to me than a one time act that ended with horrible consequences. we dont know him, this could be a catalyst to some self reflection moving forward.

i think you might need one of romeo okwara or harris. probably okwara. if not, you should replace him. houston doesnt look like an every down player and they could use a guy who can be strong on the edge against the run. okwara might be too expensive to keep or he might not be as good of a player coming off injury, but if he's healthy he might be one they keep around.

if he can get anything of value for suter, he really is a genius.

edvinsson will get a 9 game stretch at some point. probably not more than that.

payne was franchised.

he re-signed with boston.

bwaaaa haa haa haaa. ok ncaa. sure jan.

best goalie? dude, its too early for your gummies. 🙂

that said, i did think they'd get a little more for him.

bert's a pure rental. not gonna get that much. still got a first rounder for him.

talk about damning with faint praise...

im going on what i - and probably you - hear about michigan's recruiting. theyre not going to play that game with recruits. its going to cost them, but that's how theyre doing it now. theyre not going to get into bidding wars for guys.

good job by jaden to keep the tank in full motion. that waa a close one.

"keeping it real."

if he's looking to get paid by texas a & m, he's probably not a target for michigan anymore.

who can forget the pistons paying boban and leuer huge money that year. fuck you, stan van gundy.

i wonder if he's viewed as damaged goods?

chychrun to ottawa. a 1st and two 2nds.

i have often thought about that. another wrinkle is that a lot of people might have wilson as elite given his measurables. its funny, i see him compared to ziggy ansah a lot.

do we want the isles to make the playoffs now? would you rather have pick 13 or 15 in this year's draft (which is supposed to be loaded) or a shot at vancouver's unprotected #1 next year in a draft that might not be as talented? regardless, i dont think isles are making the playoffs this year so it will be vancouver's pick next year.

youre just citing trade ups. so your point was you dont think ANY of the qbs this year are worth it at all? you dont think any team will do it?

i think this carter stuff hurts the bears' plans. he was the perfect fit for their defense and they probably could have traded down to 4 and gotten either him or anderson. if you think those two are the elite talents in the draft you probably want one of them. but with carter maybe out of the mix (i'm still skeptical he'll fall that far), if the bears want anderson they might not be able to go lower than 3. arizona will take him. anything to hurt the bears is cool with me. i hope they stay at 1 and take anderson.

skoronski also provides cover in case decker or sewell get injured. that said, #6 is REALLY high for a guard. like with jaymo last year, i think they will have a board with a number of "elite" talents on it. if they have 10 or 12 names on that list and skoronski is there at 6 and is on that list, maybe they do take him?

its the islanders pick that vancouver holds. that pick is top 12 protected. if the isles miss the playoffs this year, the wings get vancouver's #1 next year. unprotected, i believe.

what does "pick can eventually move to 2024" mean? its protected?
