@John_A_Nguyen @TheFourthPeriod A post that starts with "conspiracy theory" probably shouldn't be taken that seriously. I'm not a fan of either team so it was more of a "would'nt it be wild". That being said, I missed the eligibility issue so thank you for the info.

@HackswithHaggs Well if they take back salary that, technically, isn't retention. #semantics

[Randy Scott @rtexscott]

@BruinsCapSpace Seems like an offer Boston could've beaten easily, no? Did NJD not want to trade him in the East, perhaps?

@domluszczyszyn Hey Dom. How should one view these rating projections compared to the ones in the Stanley Cup Checklist (where Larkin was 9.6 O, 0.6 D, 10.2 N)? Thanks.

@domluszczyszyn @shaynagoldman_ @IcemanAthletic @ThomasDrance @ByScottPowers @vzmercogliano @jkamckenzie @WPGMurat @jprutherford @Peter_Baugh This series is so great. Do you post projections for all players somewhere? I know you used to do the player cards on the Athletic but I don't see them anymore. Thanks for all your work. Helps hockey dummies like me seem more informed.

@HackswithHaggs Will they retain his right bc hes signing internationally?

@_TyAnderson How about on his podcast? While his dad publicly embarrasses his goalie? What a leader!

@MikeGiardi @MikeGiardi is patiently waiting for @MikeReiss to make the obvious joke.

[Randy Scott @rtexscott]

@tkyles39 There's a "swing" tackle joke in there somewhere.

[Randy Scott @rtexscott]

@tkyles39 Quick look at snap counts (PFF) and it appears that last year was the outlier in terms of FS/Slot vs Box snaps. Previous yrs, especially with the Titans, seem more evenly dispersed.

@DougKyed If you aren't moving Westover back to TE it's 3 with Brock Lampe also returning. Point remains on the 90-Man roster though.

[Randy Scott @rtexscott]

@TimBontemps @Mishbia15 (3/n) I don't have a good solution but the best one should focus on the point of the draft. Something like identifying the core and only including the winning % in games where the core is playing (probably not great and hard to execute but closer to the spirit of the draft)

[Randy Scott @rtexscott]

@TimBontemps @Mishbia15 (2/n) for example. Let's say Boston not only lost JT for the year, but lost JB and had a bad season. Is the point of the draft to add a top young player to a team that now has both? Shouldn't be. And a system that "incentivizes winning) gets away from the point as well.

[Randy Scott @rtexscott]

@TimBontemps @Mishbia15 (1/n) I feel like the problem goes beyond "incentivizes losing". The issue is that we are not thinking of the draft in it's intended purpose (to bring talent to teams that don't have it). Instead, we look at it as compensation (or reward) for a bad season. That's wrong . . .

[Randy Scott @rtexscott]

@DougKyed Maybe. But Josh is calling plays like he just met the offense players 2 days ago.

[Randy Scott @rtexscott]

@dominictiano Seems relevant given Dreger report but I guess people feel better ripping others.

@EdHand89 Assume this is in addition to Bregman coming back or no?
