That's not the take

The take is they were brought in with expectations of being an A or B player.

The only player who fits that mold is Johansson

- sbroads24


Scandella brought in to be LD1

Hutton brought in to be a 2-year starter

Mojo as you said

Blow boy 2nd pair RHD

Sheary top-6 wing

Berglund 2C

Vesey top-6

Montour top pair

Miller middle pair

Mittlestadt 2C

Tage - anything


All were brought in and played above their talent level

JB only brought in 1 C or D level player?

I could name a baker's dozen

- jcragcrumple

people kept telling him we need a C... so he got C level players not Centers

That’s my ideal matchup. Boston and Vegas are my two most hated teams and having them in the final would be the most 2020 thing possible.

We're likely going to get a center that's garbage at D

Worst to last

1) Sean monahan- really bad
2) strome - really bad
3)Max- bad

- gerbe75pts


Being that we were much better defensively under Ralph, not sure that's as big of an issue.

We need scoring, badly. We're a half goal per game less than the cup contenders. Yet we are top10 in GA/G. We can stand to have a more offensive 2C as long as they produce IMO.

Probably because they achieved more success than us than we have in 10 years

That’s incredibly stupid. Even if you don’t like him there’s no doubt he’s a first line winger in the NHL. We need talent. You trade Sam for picks you might as well trade Eichel and admit another scorched earth rebuild

That's a feather in their cap IMO, not a reason for hate.

So he goes for the back ? Makes zero sense these cops need more training if they can't take down a normal human being without a gun
- gerbe75pts


A taser didn't work
Wasn't listening to orders

Goes to car where you don't know if he has a weapon or will drive off with the potential of harming others if he was on drugs and crashes

Shot 7 times is a bit much but when you don't follow what the police say, a taser doesn't work and your going to your car, what are they going to do? Let him go?

At some point you have to realize that you have responsibilities and if you don't agree with an order from the police deal with it in a better fashion by filing a complaint rather than escalate

You win dumbest take of the day. Hey shoot a moving leg (which have femoral arteries in them BTW). How about listen to the cops when they are giving you verbal orders? Is that no longer a thing?

For sure!! But consider who you're dealing with

He might actually be the dumbest human I have ever read about. If he didn’t have his daddies money he would of starved to death already.

The epitome of white privileged and most of his racist and sexist takes should of got him banned a long time ago

I think monahan is extremely overrated and gets his success from johnny hockey and he doesn't up his game in the playoffs

I wouldn't give them the 8th overall for Monahan.

I would make other offers, and keep the 8th overall.

- kingcong39

Pitt got Derrick Pouliot, the current AHL defensemen 8th overall for Jordan Staal.

Theres a substantially good chance the 8th isn't half of what Monahan is

Half of gerbes family are racist sexist and homophobes according to generalizations if you play that game

Are there bad cops? Yes, is it close to half let alone a majority, no.

Go to a police station and ask if you can follow them for a few days and see what they go through, how they handle situations and all instead of seeing a couple instances on TV and say that half the police is bad or corrupt.

You do realize that when minorities get pulled over they aren't shot or dragged off to jail unless they have a warrant like you are trying to imply.

That’s his most laughable comment “shoot him in the leg”. So the bullet misses and kills an innocent kid?? Gerbe is seriously clueless. 8 years now in college and no degree. That should tell you a lot

Can't say that I disagree with a word. He's a loser.
