I was going to respond "What did Bonds ever win?" but you beat me to it.
Todd needs to be doused with some Agent Orange. Habsy, do you have any lying around?

Panthers are 1-3-0 in their last 4, 5-8-2 in their last 15…

Unsurprisingly, a team full of players that had career years are reverting to the norm.
It's one of the reasons I thought they'd miss the playoffs this year. That & their defense doesn't scare anyone.

Getting their first unprotected was quite a coup.
Grandfather of Maple Leafs' Mete one of five victims killed in condo shooting
The maternal grandfather of Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman Victor Mete was one of five victims killed in a shooting at a condominium just north of the city.www.sportsnet.ca
Terrible, I think Geeman said he knows the family.
Very sad , I know both families
Grandpa`s partner is my buddy`s 1st cousin
Devastating , the families are very close
Victor and his cousins adored their grandpa
His parents split up this year so this is very tough on him
That fucking lunatic was in that condo for a decade and was about to get evicted in court soon , then he goes postal

I was saving it for a special occasion. Like Trump a second term. I may be able to spare enough to cause retirement though.

You don't substantially alter a presidents cup team. Zito thought getting "tougher" was needed for the playoffs and Tampa. Well you need to get there first. The Tkachuk trade was unnecessary and throwing in Weegar was simply idiotic.
They lost a ton of depth , this slide was inevitable
They were not handing Huby an 8 year deal at 30
They made a fine deal

Hubby+ for Tkachuk was fine, but not when that + is Weegar.
Capped out

The cap hit from Yandle goes down significantly next year and they’re too forward heavy, they needed to balance the defense. Just needed to drop one of their 2nd line forward.
I agree but not sure they had 6-7 mil for Weegar
Plus he looks like shit this year as does Huby

That Huberdeau + Weagar for Tkachuk trade has been a lose-lose for both teams so far.
The Huberdeau contract was a little crazy, but I think Calgary had to pay out the nose to make sure that he'd stay. I think there's a very good chance he would have tried free agency if not for a contract that pays him stupid money.
The other thing about the trade is, both Huberdeau & Tkachuk were traded after having career years. Tkachuk's never been a PPG or > player in his career and his point totals last year are significantly higher than his previous best. At least in Huberdeau's case, he had a couple of seasons where he was > PPG for a while.
I dunno, a trade that kind of left both teams with a bitter taste, I think.

Weegar was not pleased getting traded. Loved it here apparently.

Well, Calgary didn’t really have a choice but Florida sure did.

If Calgary wasn't in such a win-now mode, do they make that trade? Let's say they were a 7th to 9th place team that got in (or missed) the playoffs by the skin of their teeth, do they make the trade? I highly doubt it. It seemed like a full-on reactionary, we have momentum and we need to keep pushing forward! type of trade for Calgary.
