Kaiser:
Won't be waiver exempt next year. Needs new paper.
Team might be taking their last looks to see what he is.
Dream Scenarios (unlikely)
Athanasiou is up to replace a soon to be departed
Donato.
Kaiser is up because he might be a secondary piece
in an upcoming trade.

My best guesses: (not that you care lol)
Athanasiou:
Foligno, Kurashev are dinged up, they need a
warm body. Regularly injured as usual, but doing quite
well when healthy.
Kaiser/Allan:
They probably want more ice time for Allan.

a) third team involved would increase likelihood
b) VGK level of salary cap maneuvering not factored in
c) high level cap assess only, not suggesting these
teams are interested.

Cap increases by 7.5MM next year. Much easier then.
It's this year that's the big hurdle.
Assume:
1) non max retention by the Hawks,
2) destination is at least "fighting for the playoffs" this year:
Detroit
Winnipeg
Vancouver
NYR
Colorado
Utah
Minnesota
Anaheim
Calgary
Columbus

Very true.
Would be even more catastrophic in the eyes of ESPN.
comment in response to

It would be epic if they switched the game times so the CA/FIN game would be a "win or go home" or
"win in regulation or go home" situation.
But of course they gotta put the biggest market
on prime time, I get it.

Of course Trump will take credit somehow.

I'm assuming you've read all of the Erik Larson books?
There was a new one out recently.

They will find something/someone to blame

Don't know the band but the album title is:
"If This & the 4 Nations Trade Article Are An Indicator,
It'll Be A Long 2 Weeks Until The Hawks Play Again".

On a pace for 61 points this year.
Last year they had 52.
~shrug~
like you were sayin'.....

This is the correct take. Sell high.

Ok, maybe worth a 2nd now?

Still just a 3rd though, right?

I'm guessing this is a comparison using Bedard's
2024/25 season stats only?

I just started delivering MoW a month ago.
It has been good for me in several ways.

Could be. However that requires me to believe something that came out of Trump's mouth.
A habit I don't wish to form.

And the oil tariffs?
Are you saying that prices at the pump will not rise?
If so, that would certainly keep Trump somewhat pacified
through the initial reactions to all of this.
comment in response to
post
The market and gas prices are the most visible.
They are the headline reactions, as well as the most
important factors to Trump.
How will an extremely impatient man
handle it if those 2 factors move against him?

We need someone adept with a scalpel and tweezers.
We have someone who prefers a sledgehammer and chainsaw.

Is there a stat for how many times a team centers
the puck in front of their own net?
Hawks do that a lot it seems.

oooooh, well said.
(not snarky, it's actual praise lol)

Tough one.
Could depend on the strength (or destruction)
of the Elonald bromance.

'preciate the info, sir.
I've always preferred your boring analysis over
the sh*t posting / trolling / doom posting.
Though I respect that you gotta do what moves you.

lol that's a fair point. (sadly)
I practice a very dry brand of sarcasm so it
seemed obvious to me.
Maybe we'll get confirmation.
comment in response to
post
That's exactly my point.
They are moderate-ish "Republicans".
Not sure what would happen if Murkowski
re-branded as an "Independent".
Maybe someone slightly less moderate than her could
grab more gen elec. votes running with the (R) ?
comment in response to

Considering that almost nobody on this site
appreciates what a gift Manchin was for the Dems,
I'd say this viewpoint won't get much traction.
comment in response to

I think your sarcasm detector might need new batteries.
comment in response to
post
I think hanging out the (R) shingle scores her moderate
republican votes she wouldn't otherwise receive.
True indies and practical Dems are okay with it.
comment in response to

I don't think he's any good.
But they found one thing he did well when left
w/Bedard for 60 games. And they moved him.
They took away what minimal use he had.
comment in response to
post
Yeah but some players are really good at sponging off
of a great player. That's what they do.
He would have been fine doing it again this year.
comment in response to
post
54 points last year on Bedard's line.
So of course they move him and remove
the only use he had.
comment in response to

Yet somehow this game still sucks.
comment in response to

The tragedy is not the absurdity theater itself,
but rather how effective and comforting it is
for those who desire it.

@ByScottPowers is phenomenal with clips
when he's covering a game
comment in response to

He needs to stop passing to the front of his own net.
comment in response to
post
current roster players unlikely to be back next year:
Kurashev
Maroon
Donato
Smith
Murphy
Martinez
Brodie (cheap buyout in the summer)
Hopefully filled with cheap kids or major signing.

The scary thing is that even with a loss tonight,
they'll be on a pace for about 6.5 more points than last year.
I must have blacked out last year as a coping mechanism.
