Essentially the options are, as it stands:
- A head coach whose only experience was legitimately bad at the WHL level and has had limited coaching experience at the NHL level
- A head coach who has had an extremely successful first season and has been a decently coveted assistant coach

Foote profiles to me as someone who will be similar to the style under Tocchet that was not fun to watch based off of his only prior HC gig in the WHL and how the D was selected/implemented.
It has a chance to be worse from a watching standpoint than Tocchet too.

Automatic 10 games to a player of the opposing team’s choice in the playoffs would be incredible.

Yeah, I mean he forced Smith really wide and took up most of the angles. I don’t think he’s entirely blameless, but also he’s the least of the problem here.
It was a fantastic effort from Karlsson to get the puck deep/centred and then a really skilled move by Smith to fake the shot and go around.

Honestly I think Skinner did fine here. There’s little-to-no time left and he forced Reilly Smith to make a perfect play to even get the puck toward the net (which he did)… just a bad break

Reilly Smith just rips a shot bar down probably

Honestly impressed how big the hexagons are. They’re like 2x the size they should be compared to a regular soccer ball

if this was the standard in the 2011 SCF, the Canucks would've never left the powerplay.

yeah. The baseball sites about the baseball ones normally say expect each individual card to be around $5-10 each and top players for $50-$150ish (i.e. Babe Ruth)

Just found this. I think Howie Morenz is a bigger name than any on your sheet but it's tough because all it takes is the right buyer haha

I can't say I've ever seen them before, so I don't have much of an idea.
I'd go with potentially $100-$200? but it's tough because there aren't any of the major names on the sheet.

1950 hockey stars strip; one sold (with two more players on it) and some stamps recently.
My hunch is that the stamps were the bulk of the sale price given this price and that Beliveau's stamp sells okay ungraded: www.ebay.ca/itm/36540805...
Still a rare piece though!

Things that have been pain points in the mode for awhile are still an issue, the fact you can’t complete objectives some of the limited time grindy objectives in the new shiny mode is bonkers, and some of the sets/upgrade paths have been made more gruelling/annoying.
Why???

Yes, especially when you have one of the best players in the game on your team.
It’s just funny how much the conversation changes because you win one when it involves a lot of luck lol

The NYT article displayed Canadian teams in CAD, but the graphic posted on here didn't adjust for it. The Canucks at $307 CAD would be ~$225 USD, so they'd move from 12th to 28th

Have to imagine Panarin's value was weakened by the sexual assault settlement becoming more public (but then again it's the NHL, so probably not).
If it did, though, I wonder if he actually becomes the "hardest" to trade from a performance vs. return standpoint for the team.
