@emre_mayo @Mooller @conor64 grocery gross margins are in the 20%-30% range so the catch is they are selling at cost or slightly below, assuming they even have the negotiating power to buy at similar costs
and that's without overhead

@danriccio_ @JeffVeillette The club missed out on its #1 GM choice because they were too cheap, they missed out on their #1 AHL coach because they were too cheap. It's ok to have a reduced player payroll during a rebuild, but cheaping out on critical staff is inexcusable

@cremieuxrecueil can you do cpi/inflation?
and TFP?

[Andres Rivero @a_rivero]

Yes! These are the most sought after players in the entire NHL, and they chose to play for my team.
I am so proud to be a Canucks fan.

Going from a place where Evander Kane wants to play

To

A place where Gallagher, Schenn, Oleksiak and Shane Wright wanna play

In one off season

Is honestly good work by this organization

@IlyaSomin @bryan_caplan @RichardHanania As a Bruins fan, are you aware of the conspiracy theories that the 2011 cup win was an inside job, stolen from the Canucks?

@_Credible_Hulk @kingofthecoastt People tend to bring up Musk here but I’m not convinced his political views (taken as a whole) are worse than the median voter’s

@Tarekskyy @FerreresBosch @mbeisen Who do the Canary Islands belong to?

@Tarekskyy @FerreresBosch @mbeisen How does a land belong to Africa? What does “Africa” say about this?

@Jerome_Berube the biggest omission here is Zetterberg. By 2000-01 he was already a point per game player in the SEL.

@ChrisConte79 Why does he remind me so much of Troy Stecher

@malcolmert @taj1944 @DonnieandDhali What is the Whitmore thing? First time I’ve heard that

@florianederer The NHL did this in the 2016 World Cup of hockey and it was one of the dumbest gimmicks ever. They almost won!

@MortenStostad Is Mortenson (the author) your son?

@rfrzdtkcx6 @kausmickey So immigrants product things of value and then don’t consume them domestically, leaving more resources for the rest? Seems like a great deal

@PhilWMagness @CliffordAsness Did he ever acknowledge this?

@CanucksArmy I can’t even describe what makes them different but I can tell them apart very, very easily after following them as players for almost 20 years.
One thing is that Daniel has a deeper voice and a slightly stronger Swedish accent.

@Zer0PucksGiven Mediocrity means average, or not great but not bad.
This franchise is pathetic and the worst run in the league.

[Andres Rivero @a_rivero]

@benkuzma This is so embarrassing. Complete joke of a franchise.

@brivael You can make $999,999,999.99 ethically. It’s that extra cent that comes from abusing and scamming others
