That’s exactly what they should do

And it's quite possibly the cheapest route to get a 3C outside of just playing Cozens there

I mean, he outproduces the guy you wanted to trade for 5 on 5. Just take the massive L on Larry and move on.
- sbroads24


In 7 more games. And AA was on the worst team in a decade.

You like Larry, that's fine. I want a team that can score. Playing larry 15 minutes a game is the opposite of that. Happy trails, Larry. You can go

outback has employees test positive and keep restaurant open



time to drink the brown liquor

FL shutting the bars down, and no on-site alcohol consumption at restaurants. I guess alcohol can make people stoopid and prone to risky behavior, who knew?
Edit; restaurants weren't specifically mentioned in the blurb I saw, it just said "no on-site alcohol consumption". I'm assuming that also means restaurants.

sabres have a tough choice if they get 2nd overall. who do you take? byfield or stutzle?..
- wingz4life


I'll answer it this way...I'd take Byfield if the Sabres were to secure 1-OA.
Nearly a full year younger, produces at relatively same rate, 6'4" 215 lbs at age 17, skates like the wind, high Hockey IQ, strong compete level, and plays C rather than wing.
Long term, I think he is better than Laf.

The Pegulas are losing money with there hockey team, there changing course, businesses do that. I doubt there hurting for money that bad, they just dished out over a hundred million in football contracts. If you ran a business losing money you would do the same thing, maybe not to this extent. It sucks because we want good sports teams, but why get so butt hurt over what they did, there's other things in life to worry more about.
- Buff36


OMG yes. Holy crap I've had THE WORST 2020 and it's probably not even close. F sports right now. Why people get so crazy over this team - at this time in the world - is beyond me.

He played 14 fewer games than Larry. Im not even gonna continue down that list. Larry is terrible offensively
- jcragcrumple

And the others?

I didn't know Anthanasiou was terrible offensively. He must be really good on D for people to have wanted him.

You know what, let's do the last 2 years

Larsson has the same 5 on 5 points as......

Evan freaking Rodrigues. The 45 point 2C of Jcrag's dreams

AA is fast. thats his skill. gets pushed off the puck easily. see what yzerman does with the two 2nd rounders he got for him.

Lol, it was only a matter of time.

Youre trying to compare Larsson offensively to a guy who scored 30 goals last year (AA). We're talking about a guy in Larsson who has never hit 20 points- not goals- points.

In summary, Larsson is terrible offensively

If any of the rumors of their rather significant involvement with player decisions is true, they have no one to blame but themselves...they are the problem

The pegula's have made many mistakes.

But, not by lack of effort ($)

They need to get lucky with a mcbeane type combination

If the employees go home and you sanitize the restaurant wouldn't that reset it to any other restaurant without corona?

Not arguing open or close just what is the difference.

I'll take Larry on the 4th line for $1.75m
I don't give a poop about xGF and all the other projection stats because his actual production sucks and this team has a problem scoring goals. Use him in a defensive role, fine.

Get me a 35+ pt 3C
Get me a 55+ pt 2C for 2 years.

when running for president you have to ask yourself two important questions to determine if your electable:

1. Are you good looking? If no see question 2.
2. Are you rich?

If answer to both is no, try running for congress..

Fulfilling your first request is not difficult. Your second one, however, is a different degree of difficulty entirely, unless you believe someone like Strome or Monahan are actually available and won't cost a ransom in players, picks, and prospects.

Larsson could get 30 points in a 3C role if he played with the likes of Mojo and Kahun as Sbroads has stated.

Girgensons and Okposo have terrible offensive metrics and bring Larry down.

If Larsson is our 3c then Kevyn Adams is a failure.

Sorry, but those are different.
The problem isn't the money spent, the problem is their effort and results with injecting themselves into the Hockey Ops side thinking they know more than everyone else and passing it off as they are interested in SC's...their actions say otherwise, yet they are so stubborn they can't see the first through the trees.
They are a dangerous ownership team to achieving a SC goal.

Are you beginning to see why I cheered for every loss the past few seasons now ? (Although this most recent season I expected for them to push for a spot and just fall short, albeit not in this fashion lol)

You need to find these players in the draft.

The higher you pick, the higher the probability you have of finding that player.

This is why getting Cozens to me was much more important then trading the pick and prospects for a stop gap to tread water.

They will spend to the cap again.

Let's hope it's done "effectively".

They are streamlining off ice expenses.

It is the capacity at near 100%, not necessarily a facility sanitation issue.
People in crowded areas without masks, talking, singing etc spreading the virus through droplets aerosolized then inhaled by others.
At least that is the latest thinking.

I'd be willing to bet that a Gabbard/Crenshaw or Crenshaw/Gabbard ticket would win against the two current candidates in a landslide. The country is ready for something audacious like that. Two moderate, bi-partisan, younger candidates that don't hate the country they live in.

That didn't answer the question. I wasn't asking for an explanation into 100% capacity restaurants.
