I rasied it the rate my cost went up

down here texas companies buying every house they can

apartments go up 250 a year when they sign the new lease, so a 2 bedroom that went for a grand in 2020 is now 1500

house rentals going up the same rate

gonna force a lot of people back into trailers down here

I will never understand this. Sure, he flubs a name every now and then. So freaking what? The guy was good right up until the end. It sucks that he is done.

Ive been perusing draft rankings and most of the ones I've been looking at don't have a goalie in the first two rounds. Tyler Brennan is the highest rated goalie and i see him going in the third round in most mocks. That seems odd

Meh, he hasn't been the same for years now....and makes more that an occasional blunder.
Reality is that he isn't the old RJ.
Sad he isn't his old self, absolutely.
Dunlevy is just ok in my book, a bit boring for my liking, but not alot of people can fill RJ's shoes...especially in his prime.

What would you give up for Driedger? Horrible season, but improved his game since Jan onwards.

Grubauer had 9 years with a SV% of .915 and better...then suffered through a .899 this past season, proving the team in front of him was the primary reason....by extension, that should also speak to Driedger's bust of a season as well.

I've liked the idea of trading for Chris Dreidger for a while now. Wouldn't be my first choice, though, as far as veteran trade options. I'm most interested in Quick. Makes too much sense.

Grubs just had a bad season plain and simple. His GSAx was the worst in the league, by a lot.

10 team m- ntc
Have to believe we're on that list
Does that change over summer ?
Maybe
I'd imagine Seattle would be looking for picks and prospects

OK, gentlemen, sharpen your #2 pencils - the Official Hockeybuzz NHL 2022 Playoffs Prediction Thread is live:

https://www.hockeybuzz.co...post_id=22264783#22264783

Please note: unlike my other prediction threads, this is NOT Leaf-focused. So fans of all 32 teams are welcome to participate.

There is no prize. There isn't even an evaluation mechanism.

This is strictly a way for you to make your hockey geniusness known to the Hockeybuzz community, so you can tell us all "I told you so" when Nashville wins the Stanley Cup.

The rules are simple: cut and paste the template, and fill it out.

The thread will be locked at 7 pm tonight, and for the rest of the playoffs, you can trash talk anyone who made dumb predictions.

Hope to see you there.

Quick's family is in the northeast. Sabres are (actually) up and coming. If the Kings don't want him, I think it's reasonable to think he'd consider waiving for Buffalo.

He provides celery for the floor and a veteran, Cup presence for UPL. We don't have any goalie prospects for next year that he'd be getting in the way of. Levi and Portillo will be playing in school.

Ha - was just coming on here to ask others.

My famn damily took up my entire weekend - I didn't watch any of the draft, and haven't really read the evaluations yet (other than the general summaries of the NHL draft as a whole).

Yeah, not a lot this year, Zhigalov, Leinonen and Silverstein are all later round flyers we should explore.

Lowest wage growth ever yet assets were far more in line with income earned.

Have you looked at asset prices per average income earned these days ?

20 something year olds don’t have the benefit of decades of saving either or a house that doubled in value in 15 minutes.

- Pegullaville



I normally don't agree with you. But here I am at 20 something suckin on my parents teet still.

Remember they are American though, there housing market has blown itself to mars yet like ours.

For everyone saying Boeser was struggling…perhaps this is why.

I saw this.. very terrible. Not a good look on the reporter. The guy knew he shouldn't of even asked.
