So, is this called waterboarding?

We really do, especially in response to every time they bring up the "men in girl's bathrooms" boogeyman

I mean, if he only plays at his current level this contract is a bargain. If he continues to develop the way he should itโ€™s a total steal

They canโ€ฆ they just seem to have some unspoken reason for not opposing

If you want to talk IMpractical, ask why most F1 drivers (and most almost F1 drivers) come from wealthy families. That''s much more of an unpleasant reality of racing than their height

For someone else they can trade for even less next year?

Donโ€™t worry, theyโ€™re working on that

Destroy the little bit of a safety net we still provide as you give more money to those who already have it, all while giving unprecedented funding to federal law enforcement in the midst of a president seeking to unconstitutionally and illegally use federal law enforcement.

What could go wrong?

He fills a need and the team had the $ available to get something done. If the deal helps the team take another step in the playoffs it will be worth it

Age is a factor for sure. Demand is also a factor. Ehlers is the best free agent available and is a guy who could help a lot of teams. Ahoโ€™s contract is a great bargain. It may take more than that

03.07.2025 17:07 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

But Ahoโ€™s contract is older

Slavin should be getting more than Miller, but thatโ€™s how salary cap free agency goes sometimes

If it was just the playoffs I'd agree, but I think it's more than that. With Miller they know what they have now, Morrow was still a "maybe someday". The Canes have a history of trading prospects for known quantities. Sometimes you want them back (Morgan Geekie) but it's still a pretty good strategy

You see, the reasoning is that if you take money away from rich people they will not work. If you take money away from poor people they'll be more productive. Maybe they can take all the money from the rich so that they'll be incentivized to work harder.

JS's ability to shut down elite offenses means that he prevents more goals than most players score, a hugely underestimated skill. I'm not sure KK will ever be on that level, but he's easily closer to it than anyone else they have available

Good article. I've always thought his defensive strengths made up for his lack of offense, but I hadn't really thought about him taking on Jordan Staal's role, although I've thought a lot this past season about how difficult Staal will be to replace.

I'm with you, but he'd be bound to help the power play, at least

Maybe they meant to say 74?

(obviously the NHL never would, but I can dream)

Kinda surprising. I mean, don't these guys have damp socks everytime they do their jobs?

(Maybe not on ice. My only real hockey experience was on inline skates, so...)

I wasnโ€™t in any way attempting to defend space x. I posted a video, without editorial comment, that contradicts the post I was replying to. I agree with you about space x
