@andruyeung How about donating to your local homeless shelter, or a surprise visit to an elderly family member, or paying for the groceries of the family in line behind you.
@citchmook I'm sorry but that is too much about him. The team needs to be laser focused and organized going into the playoffs. Gabe needs to work through the summer and genuinely join as a contributor. Too much of a hype/fan focused move. If this doesn't improve our cup run, step back
@DNVR_Rudo With a dozen games to go and 3-4 key new depth players, I'm all for Bednar iterating on lines to engage each key asset and get the line combos tested. imo, it's very unlikely that Dallas will stumble enough to lose home ice advantage.
@AdoHernandez27@MChrisbbennett Agreed, feels more like a clear-headed decision that factored history into the equation but took it as one factor, not a constraint. That's what you want from a GM.
@BlurryFlurries@evanrawal 50% retained, not exactly an expensive transaction for the current cup run. The sell off of our draft prospects is a clear indication of a bet on a 2-3 year window to run hard and another cup or two.
@MartinGTobias Commercial license waste follows the same pattern - definitely 15-25% of paid users are no shows on activity logs on every SaaS I've developed over the yearz...
@citchmook Necas is a major improvement in our power play, he is so good at zone entry and has a strong interior shot. That alone is a game changer for the AVS performance - it will be unpredictable how the AVS enter and shift around. Mikko was always too predictable and kind of sluggish.
@spittinchiclets The AVS get the fastest skater in NHL, to pair with Mackinnon and Makar. Rantannen won't be as scoring prolific and the AVS net $6M in cap space. More moves ahead. I love Mikko but it's a smart move to trigger the AVS and reassemble without copying the Leafs mistakes.
