Carchidi says Hextall wants a 1st round pick and a prospect for Simmonds.

In all seriousness, if Simmonds goes with no NHL salary coming back, doesn't it truly make sense to go all in on Tavares?

It looks to me like if Simmonds was gone and they had Tavares at a 10 mil cap hit, they still have approx 10.5 mil in space with an NHL roster of 12F, 5D, 2G, and all they'd have to do is re-sign Morin, re-sign Hagg, and pick up 1-2 spare/depth forwards.

And next summer you have Lehtera's 4.7 coming off the books which would be replaced with a cheap internal forward or a cheap FA vet.

With 3 1sts and no money coming back he can do a lot.

Not really. Flyers already have Couturier and Patrick with lots of quality center prospects. The Flyers should keep cap space available to see what thier needs are when they need to fill a weakness when they reach the level of being a top team. Build through the draft and smart trades. Finish off using free agency.

I've been wrong before. One time I thought I was wrong about something. Turned out I was wrong.

That’s just a ridiculous statement. It’s just a digital audio workstation. You can plug in a real microphone and record the old fashioned way. Tape machines are not easy to maintain nowadays.

So what? The point is you can do whatever you want with it... but I’m sure you knew that Eddie Kramer.

Why can't people just assign accurate credit ratings to mortgages and CDOs and not cause the collapse of multiple investment banks, auto companies, and the housing market?

If he's talking about how most running shoes are bright colors I don't know what to say because most nice under armour/Brooks/Asics are sweet looking and it's not my fault you can't match properly.

You want black shoes? Get under armour trainers. White? Get Nikes.

Also not my fault you do your shoe shopping at kohls.

I am triggered, I love shoes like a girl I have like 6 pairs of sneakers on rotation

Makes sense, creativity is gone. Everything is either a remaster, remake or reboot of something already done.

Are there any musician now a days that don't use autotune or create their music with garage band?

Fun fact: 21 Jump Street was a tv show before the movie *Mind Blown*

Generation Rehash.

Love it.

Yeah there's none. Zero. It all sucks! Autotune sucks and is never used effectively! Nor are digital instruments! tHeY'rE nOT rEaL MuSicIAnS!!!

When did I say technology is bad? I am also a software developer...old man using tech oh wowzers.

The correct answer would be Pro Tools.

I have a friend that literally talks about obscure black metal bands and pretty much says exactly what you said.
