why don’t you write about a topic you want to discuss?

I agree w/ Boilermaker.
As people get more familiar with the comment section quirks, the more activity there will be.
Helping newer members figure it out will help increase the hockey content.

Ok dreamers, time to start the countdown to July 1st:

Frank Seravalli @frank_seravalli 3h
Sources say #mnwild superstar Kirill Kaprizov’s camp turned down an extension offer believed to be 8-years, $128 million
in a meeting on Tuesday in Minnesota that would have made him the highest-paid player in #NHL history in both AAV ($16 million) and total dollars.

You have to highlight the text you want to quote, even if you want to quote the entire post.

Agree it’s even more rare and risky with a goalie.
I believe they bought 5 years of free agency, so that is a factor in the price tag.

That is a lot of money for 71 games played on a goalie.

Or, I guess genius, if it works out and he continues to get better.

I think there will be more of these signings with the cap increase.
Pay for future production, avoid problem negotiations down the road, wipe out offer sheet potential.
Chicago did this recently w/ Nazar.

Awesome if you’re right, ruinous if you pay the wrong youngster(s).

Are you just hitting the “quote” button?
Try highlighting the text you want to quote (even if it’s the entire post) then hit the quote button.

did he play bad at the end? he was doing awesome when i fell asleep.

Caleb? His stat line was okay, nothing to get excited about. I did not watch any of it, I bailed on the NFL years ago.

As Gramps ominously made reference to, the Vikings rookie QB became the
first player in NFL history to account for three touchdowns in the fourth quarter of his NFL debut.

I’m so glad I don’t care anymore.

Here’s a comment I made to a Frenchy article about Bertuzzi:

Bertuzzi was a “do something” signing.
He was an erratic knucklehead all season, same as he’s always been.
It’s tough to say this about a $5.5mm player, but they need to put him in the right situations so he can succeed.
He needs to remain on the PP, because he does create some confusion around the net.
But for heaven’s sake, keep him off Bedard’s line.
Just in his time w/Bedard before Xmas, I saw him fail to finish a good 7 or 8
open looks Bedard served him. Whiffed, shanked, missed the net, or shot into the goalie’s chest, he did it all.

Any improvement he makes from last year would be like finding money on the sidewalk.

You gotta bump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers.
