Giants could fire HC Ben McAdoo in 24 hours after Sunday's game vs. Raiders, sources tell @mortreport and me.

I probably liked S1 more but because it was all fresh. I love that cast, they're all so good & never has a time period piece really make you feel like your in that time period. I mean you really feel like its 1984 when watching that show, down to the little details, they nail it!

Liked Stranger Things well enough, but The Punisher was incredible!

I'm 6 episodes deep, getting better & better. Jon Bernthal is amazing. I liked him a lot in the Walking Dead (back when it was great) & Wolf of Wall Street

Me too. It was good, but I don't get the hype. That show spawned a bunch of retro movies and shows. They really did get the details right, down to adding a Goonie.

Yeah, he's not Shane anymore. So good.
After his stints in the other Marvel shows, we watched The Punisher movies because my wife never saw them. Have you seen this?

Brutal!
As much as I like Jon Bernthal, Thomas Jane is the best.

the Rangers need Nash's cap hit that's coming off the books to help them sign Miller, Skjei, Vesey and Hayes next contracts

of course if Miller or Hayes are included in any potential Draisatl deal, that changes things

but, as it stands, the Rangers have cap trouble next year even with Nash coming off books

Girardi goes from a 2.6 mil cap ht to a 3.6 too

- jimbro83

Only thing that helps a bit are Vesey and Hayes are having down years. I would think one of them would be involved in the deal though.

Gorton also needs (as of their usage now) to re-sign Boo Nieves, as well as even more importantly, Grabner, to avoid leaving the same hole that was created throughout the 2015/16 season, after the trade of Hagelin in June of 2015.
There are also 7 or 8 free agents in Hartford, including Graves and Tambellini needing to be considered for new deals.
In addition, there's the issue of whether or not to buy out Staal this Summer, which would create even more dead cap space than Girardi's additional $1M next season.
The reason why I don't want McDonagh dealt, is that of those two at times past injured, left handed d'men, who would you currently rather have here for the long run? Also of greater consideration still, (& regarding a potential buyout of Staal), is whether Staal's severe eye injury a few seasons back, will suddenly affect his vision negatively in a greater way, (in being more of an unknown with vision as to its future ramifications), than any non similar injury McDonagh has suffered. Both have also sustained head injuries from an opposition player's direct contact in the past, with Staal's being the more severe, & ironically through a hit from his own brother, Eric, when with Carolina.
Should Staal not be bought out, & it requires McDonagh to be one piece of a trade for one the equal of a Draisaitl, my tune may change, depending on who else & what picks comprise those other pieces to be included.

I could envision after Cranny Kreiderbomb had become aware that Montreal had defeated Detroit 10-1 last night, his first worrisome thought was that "Cracknell probably scored 6 of their goals", after the few minutes he was only used here, & then dealt earlier in the week to them for Holland.
Cranny's second thought was that "now the Habs got even with us for the two teams' 7 players trade in June, 2009 with in key, McDonagh landing here for Gomez.
