Could end up happening when people turn away from a product and can't recoup the costs of r&d and marketing.

May take some time though.

as long as chains are picking up units prepaid it won't and by the time a product starts to crash they've either retooled it or have something completely new in place. Really have to drop the ball to lose $

Most expensive skates, sticks, etc... Entering the baseball market not realizing the equipment turnover is less. Buying Easton to eliminate competition backfiring

Then you need to be patient, that price should come down.

Especially when the new version is about to hit the shelves.

He's not very good.

That core of the Hawks is so impressive though.....and they always have a role player or two that steps up.

Still, they are starting to age. It won't be long until they need new blood.

Snowmobiles are another popular one.

Best time to buy a boat is the fall.

Do you think they'll still be a top team for another 5 years?

I see 3 maybe.

As much as I hate to say it, I do feel the Oilers will be the team in the West at that point.

Depends on how they manage their youth vs. depth/cap space. I think the Oilers will hit a point where they will need to trade talent vs salary demand...depends on what they get back I guess. So many holes to fill

I'm gonna go with a combination of Toews/Kane/Keith for the next 2 goals.

Yes, the cap could really (frank) them. However, if they can move some of that top 6 talent for some D they'll be OK IMO. Bottom 6 should be easy enough.
