Here's a tip for you...

After the format, you should specify /X. That way Windows will dismount any open files and your format will complete successfully. Otherwise it's going to return an error about open files (if any files are in use). It's still not going to work on a boot drive, though.

I'd like one of those pay checks please.

Cards on the table: I've never really loved Nylander. He's a great-skater, great passer, and has an above average shot. He's pretty offensively gifted, but he's inconsistent in his effort, and a lazy back-checker.

He was also 21 when I made that assessment of him. Now he's 22 and it's not fair to expect any real progress in his game this year. He did it to himself in all fairness by holding out for more money than he was worth.

But he's going to mature. He's going to continue to develop. He has the tools and the skills and the mind to be an upper tier player bordering on elite. Basically he has the ability to be like Pastrnak, and that is worth more than $7m if it comes to pass.

He's also not getting traded unless someone comes in with an offer that knocks Dubas' socks off.

Pasta isn't bordering on elite. The dude is on pace to approach 50 goals...

Apparently ~50 goals and ~100pt pace is bordering elite these days

Pfft. Skinner is on pace for nearly 60. How hard can it be?

Fair enough. Pasta has consistently put up better numbers at the same age compared to Nylander. That being said, it feels like he gets all of his points against Toronto, so maybe it shouldn't count at all.

'elite' is an arbitrary definition isn't it? Not everyone will say a guy 14th in scoring, 3rd best player on his team, having a career year, is elite

There's wiggle room, but are we really going to sit here and debate semantics and not address someone on pace for a 100pt season as elite? That's just ridiculous.

Also, I think he's better than Marchand so I don't consider him the 3rd best on the team.

Preds look like arguably the most complete team in the entire NHL, although Tampa is close.

Definitely more complete than the Leafs.

Saying they got lucky after a 4-0 score cuz “we had more high danger chances in the first 2 periods” is BS. They didn’t get lucky, they’re just the better team. And finally now getting healthy.

Toronto is a very exciting and explosive young team, but in a playoff series wouldn’t stand a chance in hell against Nashville.

no we're not, that was my point. elite is arbitrary, so why get so upset about it?

But he is only projected to hit that. FFS.

Kind of.

He was also seen in other parts of Europe, like Austria and Switzerland. Remember that meeting he had with Doobie in Switzerland? He told Doobie to meet him there because he decided to take a vacation.

Oh ya no doubt he was goofing around
