•The trade has grown on me. It’s still an overpayment but not nearly as bad as I initially reacted.
• The Hawks can’t afford to finish second-last again, it’s time for this team to take a legitimate step forward.
•This move helps the team right now far more than any prospect we likely would’ve drafted.
•I also think Byram still has another level to his game & has an opportunity to flourish in his new role.
•He’s already won a Cup, has a few more years of experience under his belt, and brings a competitive, confident mindset. I think his presence in the locker room will be really beneficial for all the young players.
•He immediately fills a major need on the power play.
•Improving PP1 is one of the biggest priorities for this team, and Byram should help significantly there.
•He should also help address the Hawks’ struggles in 3-on-3 overtime.
•If the Hawks can:
-Get PP1 rolling,
-Figure out their 3-on-3 overtime strategy,
-Get a healthy season from Bedard (#98),
Then we are talking a wild card contender.
(Also Bedard is thrilled about this acquisition, if he’s happy, that’s really important)
@teachzim@chicago1802@RizNHL You can't possibly see this trade as anything other than a panic move, you are being purposefully ignorant or you're just dumb
@Hockey_Rocky14@CoffeeSacred@DarrenDreger@DannyWebster21 Clearly he meant they weren't seen as human, or having emotions, Torontos media sees the pressure as no big deal but if you were to go through that you'd probably bedrot yourself to sleep (not a typo lol) by the end of the week
If Bernie's 5% annual wealth tax on billionaires had been enacted in 2012, Elon Musk would be worth less than $365 billion instead of the $1.2 trillion that he's worth today.
Elon would still be the wealthiest man alive & every family in America would have universal childcare.
@pooootz@Blackhawks8823@Chi_Prospects@WallMaz35 KD loves the inner competition between players in the lineup, said as much in an every shift episode, so he'd probably give the 4 a pretty long leash, few years at least, I'd personally say 2 years for rinzel and 3 for levshunov
@GOP__Ls "Screwworms have never affected me personally, therefore they are not and will never be a problem."
This is how they think. About literally everything.
"trauma dump" is going up on the shelf where we put words the internet shouldn't be allowed to have anymore. Your FRIEND is telling you about their LIFE and you should LISTEN even if it's a LITTLE BIT UNCOMFORTABLE
