Around the League 2019-2024 Edition

But then I would have started to feel less of whatever it is I feel about the Senators. A weird mix of mild dislike, pity, and indifference.

I like that just how it is, thanks.

Reynolds would have been awesome for them and I'm thankful they were dumb enough to screw it up.

Yep. Think about how much more "Relevant" they would have been. Instead they are just a middling franchise with a dull owner.

At least now I don’t have to hate him as he’s one of my fav actors/personalities

I remember a time there were like half a dozen Sens fans who lived on our board who would have taken over the thread for days to argue this, but amazingly they’re all gone? I don’t think even one of them is left.

It would have been terrible. He would have constantly mocked the Leafs without mercy, would’ve made things so much more unbearable.

the list of institutions that are more morally depraved than the NHL is likely short, but insurers surely rank highly on it:

Why should an insurer cover that stuff?

If teams had coverage for it, they’d be even more lax and careless about what goes on within their organizations.

I didn't read the details, I just know in my experience dealing with insurers that they go to great lengths to avoid providing the coverage you contracted for, and rely upon any and every potential technicality or bit of fine print to avoid fulfilling their contractual obligations.

Specifically regarding Lloyds of London, look into what Bret Hart has to say about dealing with getting them to pay him when he got concussed and was forced to retire

or sometimes they just pretend they're not liable when they clearly are and try to bully you out of making a claim. that's a fun one too.

Not a fit on HNIC.

Dubie crying pic?

Is there protection on the pick the Pens sent to the Sharks for Karlsson?

Top 10 protected, but if they play that card, the 2025 1st is unprotected.

i imagine Pitt tries in 2025 so they probably kick that can down the road.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

If this draft is as bad as some are saying, maybe not.

Either way, quite a first move by The Dubas Family.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

I think i'd rather my GM move a first in a gamble for a Karlsson, then have him hang onto a 1st and trade all the other middling picks for bad players.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

I would still prefer our 1st and not be locked into an underperforming $10M contract, than to have a handful of 3rds and 5ths.

Finally came around on JT eh?
