Overpaying Marner and Matthews on their second contracts didn't help either.But then....pass on him and do other stuff with the money? That would have been an entirely valid decision.

I will elaborate further.I feel like I can never get an idea of where LOF and ME stand on things. I truly wish they were a touch more opinionated.
The thinking is wrong on many levels, explained many times previously. And the criticism is always in a vacuum.
If Tavares had signed for $8M and CLEARLY been an awesome $8M spend, WHAT WOULD WE HAVE DONE WITH THAT OTHER $3M? We can't know, but more importantly, we can assume that whatever $3M player (or spread the riches on two $1.5M players??) would not have been enough to get us over any hump. Nor would flipping Tavares out for some other nameless $8M player - AND WHO WOULD THAT HAVE BEEN? It's like it's so easy to acquire star players in this league.
The issue is a team issue that plagues us, and it starts at the top, where the "best" players named Matty and Marner stand. Tavares or any other $8M player plus imaginary $3M player wouldn't have made a difference in the best guys going cold at the worst times.
If we want to blame one of the best players in the league (that's right) that he couldn't get even better players than him to step up and be counted when games 6 and 7 rolled around, then have at it, but it's silly.
But I had the vaccine in 2021, and figure it's long gone out of my system, no?

I was mostly joking about the lame speech everyone gives/gave after getting covid that drives me wild. How the fuck would you know that the vaccine made it mild? What about the unvaxxed people that get it mild? What do they thank?But I had the vaccine in 2021, and figure it's long gone out of my system, no?
Most players would have had to wait for their third contracts to get the raises that Marner and Matthews got on their second contracts.if matthews and marner are overpaid then Tavares is massively overpaid, hence the criticism.
Wrong thread, this belongs in the Food thread.I just finished up my first ever bout with Covid. Mild case, but sonofabitch, not fun at all.
Thought you'd be interested that I finally caved and had to see what all the fuss was about.
Well, I got it from a family member who I took to the doctor to get herself checked out. So I know where it came from, figured I'd be okay since I've been superman for like 5 years now with zero sniffles or anything, plus masks were worn. It somehow still got me.Wrong thread, this belongs in the Food thread.
Please provide your review of the current virus, and things you might do differently next time.
All part of your fantasy. We could've dropped Muzz to the sidelines and replaced his whole salary at the deadline last year and they didn't even replace that $5M. How do you turn Kerfoot into a $6.5M center? Just by having the extra money doesn't mean there is someone good to spend it on. What did you trade to get that player, Knies? Why would you be trying to upgrade Brodie, and who is even an upgrade on Brodie?Such a weird analysis
It's not 8 million dollar player + 3 million dollar player.
It's 8 million dollar player + 3 million dollars in capspace. Which is like being able to replace Muzzin (at the time) with an 7.5-8 million dollar defender, or Brodie with an 8 million dollar defender, or Kerfoot with a 6.5 million dollar centre, etc, etc. You're already spending money on that roster spot, now you get to spend 3 million more on the roster spot of your choice for a much better player in that role.
So yes, if we could have brought an 8 million dollar 2C in to provide similar production to what Tavares has (but hopefully get more playoff production than a 58 point pace) and then spent the 3 million additional wisely on upgrading at positions of need, I don't see why it couldn't have been what put us over the hump. Because clearly signing Tavares (which was supposed to be that move) didn't do it. The idea that there's nothing else that possibly could have been done with that 11 million dollars that could have possibly be an improvement is dumb.
Have you been doing the annual shot? I haven't, and kinda would prefer not to if this is all it is. Pesky fucking annoying bug.I was mostly joking about the lame speech everyone gives/gave after getting covid that drives me wild. How the fuck would you know that the vaccine made it mild?

But nah, you had 0 protection from getting infected but theoretically the protection from severe disease (t-cells and whatnot) lasts a lifetime from the initial 1-2 doses and on avg ~1 infection per year for the rest of our lives gives you some short-term protection from reinfection.
I might this year since it's a decent match to the currently circulating strain (for now) and I haven't bit hit in 3 years. I could do for a top up. But generally if you got infected within the year there probably isn't much of a benefit because you'll eventually end up getting infected soon enough anyway so you're adding on some (small) risk by getting the vax too.Have you been doing the annual shot?
