Old enough to remember Empire Sports? Bunch of talk shows no one watched. It was the radio on TV.

loved empire

back then you could give a NY mailing address for your satellite TV and get Empire even though your dish was in Florida


Empire thrived, Adelphia and the Rigas family killed it

Empire would have been bought out by an RSN even if the Rigas family didn't do what they did. This market isn't big enough to sustain itself over the long term.

DirecTV did, but the out-of-market games were blacked out. Otherwise, the leagues' game packages (MLB Extra Innings, NBA League Pass and NHL Center Ice) would be worthless. The catch-22 is that the games those networks carry are the only real valuable programming. All the rest is filler. And while most that programming isn't even of good quality, it wouldn't matter if it was. Most folks in the sports demographic work "normal business hours" (i.e. 9-5 or some variation of it) so they likely wouldn't be watching.

No doubt Boston needs scoring.. especially from the center position. I think their interest in Casey is legitimate, also feel they want some experience on the 3rd-4th lines… maybe Kyle or Zemgus. They lost Poitras for the remainder of the season and don’t have any depth from within. I don’t think the Bruins have any desire to move Swayman.

Getting this guy would be considered going big...?

He's definitely a intriguing player, he's a Lefty but he's got top pair potential.

Greig gets one game for being a massive dbag who pretended he had no idea what he was doing.
- kingcong39


I think next time Greig should stop and ask the Toronto Maple Leafs if he’s allowed to score in the empty to make sure he doesn’t hurt anyone else’s feelings.

How many assets and how much cap would it cost to get rid of Skinner, Clifton and Samuelsson?

Not quite the easy button you seem to be making it out to be.

- kingcong39


I think it’s way too early to give up on Samuelson. Defenseman tend to take a little longer to get established. If I had a concern it would be the injuries.

Yes, he can skate and has a nice first pass. Big, uses his stick well and uses his size. Is he a work yes but the potential is there.

I cannot trade Mittelstadt for more unrealized potential.

If it is a defenseman coming back as the key part of the deal, he must already be a quality top 4 defender.

Trading Casey for futures is the wrong message to send in myriad of ways.

He wouldn't be the main piece, the goalie would.

Just for fun, I did the do-nothing offseason. Mitts at 7, Joker at 4, UPL at 2, Krebs at 2. Add Rosen and Kulich. Cheap fillers as extras.

82m with 4m of bonuses. Effectively a cap team.

Have to do something to try to improve.....more than squeeze in Girgs.

Why?
For 3C at $6.25m+ ?

Trade a 25 yo, 60-70pt Ctr for a top 4 RhD. Depending on who that is, add.

What do you people think Mitts is gonna get. He was part of a Trade for Swayman or Ullmark. He wouldn't be the main piece.
