IN OTT WE TRUST

Happy to have you back, coach!

It's pretty simple then for Yzerman. You on at this list then look at Larkin and tell him to enjoy playing out his contract in Detroit. You want a trade but don't want to give a reasonable list, we just won't trade you. That simple.

Per @HeleneStJames, Dylan Larkin would be willing to waive his Full NMC for these 3 teams. 👀

I am so @CriticalRole pilled that I now start recognizing CR voice actors in games. I just started FFXIV and instantly recognize @executivegoth voice.

Can't wait to play @finalfantasyvii Revelation to get to hear @matthewmercer and @WillingBlam

@Shadypenguinn I lost my dad to cancer a few years back. It changes not only the person who has it but everyone else who surrounds that person. Fuck cancer.

@JABsMusic Silent Jay for Selke was my favorite movement.

For those of you not as familiar with the AHL level - Boko Imama is basically the top fighter in the AHL, and Peterson hung in there with him shot-for-shot. INSTANT adrenaline for the crowd and both benches.

Hypothetical: You’re the owner of an MLB team. I offer to take $0 salary and sign a minor league contract and go to Low A.

If the “he sucks now” crowd is right and I get lit up, you cut me, lose $0 and there’s no risk to the big league club.

If the “clubhouse cancer” crowd is right, you see it immediately at Low A and cut me. You lose $0 and there’s no risk to the big league club.

If there’s massive negative PR, which we already know there won’t be, you just cut me and move on. The story is dead in a couple days, you lose $0, and there’s no risk to the big league club.

But, assuming none of those things happen, which they obviously wouldn’t, if you like what you see, you can promote me to AA and re evaluate me there. Then AAA. Then the big leagues. If I earn it, which you’d be 100% in control of deciding. If you don’t think I’m good enough, you lose $0 and there’s no risk to the big league club.

You could take away my “antics”. You could take away my social media. You could ask anything of me. If I don’t comply, you cut me, lose $0, and there’s no risk to the big league club.

What logical reason is there to not do this? At worst, you cut me and there’s no risk to the big league club. At best, you get a Cy Young winner for $0 who you know can still pitch and could help the big league team if and when you see fit.
