I like how he ducked me again about the shady ads on this site. I don't bother going to the forum on mobile, but its annoying as hell to get them when trying to read bills daily blogs and I dont have access to a computer.

I had him ranked 15. He could be one of the biggest sleepers. I'm a fan.

I find I'm able to read Bill's work on my phone, but participating on this site on my phone is near impossible.

Yeah its not as bad but i get them even when just reading blogs. Its gotten a lot worse this week. My guess is its on purpose since this site is probably seeing more traffic at the moment. Makes it even more poopty.

Oshie scored 33 last year with a SP over 20.

That doesn't feel sustainable. Better them than us, I guess.

Sportsnet talking about the lack of trades

I used to be surprised by the lack of trades in the NHL, but I'm not anymore

There's so much coverage and so much hot-taking, so many more media outlets who compare every single move you make and if one doesn't shake out, it's daunting on that level

Some teams operate on internal budgets. The cap is punitive when you have bad contracts. Draft picks are consistently overvalued. Guys make picks and they just won't let them go

I dunno. I thought earlier today was pretty cool, with all the trades Chicago did and the big NY trade.

I view this a bit differently.

Economically, it just makes sense to do your best to scout, draft, and develop your own players rather than overpay for other team's players. Scouting and development staff aren't counted against the cap and the first few years of a good player's career are under team control at minimal cost.
