  1. its really funny to think how favored the lakers were over the pistons. iirc, once the pistons traded for sheed, they had one of the best records in the league. the lakers were so old.
  2. losing ragnow is a massive loss. they have been stockpiling center/guard types for a while, but there's no replacing the best center in football. this one stings.
  3. glasgow is not the answer. he's done.
  4. kat actually had a nice playoff. but he's such a black hole on defense and being a center providing no interior defense or rim protection really makes it hard for the knicks.
  5. well, the question was whether they could win MORE than one game so.... anyway, okc in 5.
  6. would you trade jaden ivey and two firsts for derrick white?
  7. didnt go to the police, but went straight to civil court looking for money. hmmm... regardless, zion looks like a real peach of a guy i wonder what Moriah Mills thinks of all this?
  8. i'd rather see danielson than toews.
  9. can either of these teams win more than one game against okc?
  10. jonathan toews wants to come back. any interest?
  11. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/45376891/ncaa-president-sees-value-march-madness-bracket-expansion lets just let everyone in! make the regular season meaningless.
  12. copp actually played pretty well last year. compher was garbage. and rasmussen has been such a disappointment.
  13. i know that style of play is what they are said to be looking for. it was why they were so hot after trouba and reportedly wanted stamkos (for that leadership...) and were so happy with perron. they'll give up skill and speed for some grit....debrincat notwithstanding. i am also worried about his age. i was dead set against them re-signing perron but in hindsight i think substituting tarasenko for him sunk them last year.
  14. begs the question again: should they have traded larkin in 2019 when his value was still so high? speaking of what ifs: what if the wings take logan stankovan or wyatt johnston instead of cossa? i know goalies take a long time to develop, but i would deal cossa for a k'andre miller or a bowen byram or a jj peterka if that was on offer...
  15. kreider is becoming a popular trade candidate to detroit. feisty vet winger to play with larkin/raymond. 2x6.5. would probably only cost you the 3rd rounder you have from the rangers. im not sure i do that but i hate kreider.
  16. they couldnt keep marchand, bennett, and marner. they'd lose bennett and marchand if they signed marner. marner is so NOT a panther type player that i cant imagine them breaking up everything to get him. however, they are likely to lose marchand and probably bennett too. maybe they go after him? no state income tax could net them marner on the same or similar deal rantanen got 7×12. however, i think marner gets 13 or 14 from utah or chicago. maybe even more.
  17. it has to have some affiliation to the university, no matter how tenuous, or people really wont care.
  18. max bultman proposed that. tarasenko has zero value. negative value actually. the only way the stars part with marchment is to get rid of salary, they wouldnt take back 4.5 million of uselessness.
  19. https://sports.yahoo.com/college-football/article/with-college-sports-in-limbo-and-key-issues-coming-to-a-head-the-spotlight-is-on-the-sec-its-going-to-get-heated-130018106.html basically college sports is going to be dead soon. the sec and big ten are already in discussions to break away. stuff we've been predicting for a while here. the big ten and sec make the most money. they dont want to keep subsidizing the other leagues and eventually they wont. theyre already in talks with private equity firms to break away. people ask why the other leagues would allow the big ten and sec to run everything now so it benefits them? because they could leave and form their own league and leave the other leagues with very little. i wonder when notre dame will wise up and join up with the big ten?
  20. its for all sports. mens and womens. so when is the lawsuit that half of that money has to go to women's sports? how does it square with title ix? edit: i dont know if that's accurate. is it just for football?
  21. big ten and sec moving to a 16 team playoff system with half the participants guaranteed to come from the big ten and sec. just break away and form your own league already.
  22. people questioned the seider pick and the kasper pick. same with danielson for the same reasons, but we'll see about him this year.
  23. anaheim has $30m in cap space with 20 players signed. the hawks have $25m in cap space with 20 players signed. the wings have $19m in cap space with 14 players signed. do you spend 13-14 of that on marner? the ducks or hawks could give him that and not bat an eye. this is when compher, copp, holl, rasmussen, tarasenko, and (to a lesser extent) chairot contracts come back to bite you.
  24. "Pierre LeBrun: Anaheim, Detroit, Chicago, Los Angeles among teams interested in Marner; Florida, Vegas are of interest to Marner, among others - TSN 1050" it will be really hard to outbid anaheim and chicago. we might be better off being a cap repository for vegas and/or florida if they need to create space by selling low on some of their players.
