Well if it's true, I am a little confused because the draft is gonna be important the next few years, the way Beane was talking last weak the cap isn't gonna go up much for another year or 2. Hate to give up to much draft capital. - Buff36
They really don't have the room to add 10 drafted players. McBeane has played their cards very well

Minnesota is always a brides maid and never a bride.
Been stuck in no mans land forever.
Not good enough to win a cup, not crappy enough to tank for elite talent.
Just a doormat for the leagues elite, but I guess they aren’t the “Sabres” like Homie would say - Pegullaville
Yeah but you literally think your favorite team is a failure any year they don't win a championship, which must make being a sports fan awful for you because most teams have like a .367 championship % that aren't the New York Yankees or Montreal Canadiens.

Minus the "pedo" line, I agree.
Hockey was, is and always will be a niche sport and all the clowns at that network did was insult the sport's fans with that crap. Good riddance. - Powerslave
He is a pedo
But yeah, I actually couldn't watch more than a few minutes of any game he was commentating. It's like dragging a cheese grater across your nipples. Only worse.

And then add to it, the "human vault of useless information", Pierre McGuire, and it was unwatchable.
Honest question... What ever happened to "drilling another well"?
I mean. He is a gross pig capitalist oil-man scum-bag, but, that yacht tho. - 3rd GM's the charm
all we heard is money is no longer an issue
years later hire a soccer exec to coach the team
a gm with no experience in the front office
gut a decent ahl coaching staff
deplete the scouting department staff
and even fire people they didn't intend to fire

Sure, but how many times can you make the playoffs and not get anywhere before making the playoffs loses its allure ?
Washington was winning presidents trophies and cruising through the regular season and not sniffing the Eastern Conference Finals. Betting on them to lose in the second round of the playoffs was easy money for the better part of a decade.
How many Leafs fans are going to be impressed with another first round playoff exit again this year ? I can’t imagine very many.

Who inexplicably was given $4m a year. Not undermining your point, just pointing out the stupidity of handing that man $12m.
Maybe for $2m more a year, they wouldn't be giving a coach $6m not to coach like they are for Krueger

Are they the most overrated band ever or is it just me?
The only album of theirs I like, I absolutely LOVE and it's one of their most critically panned albums.
R.E.M.'s 2001 album "Reveal" is an absolute revelation. This album is what happens when a band that influenced Radiohead tours with Radiohead and is influenced by them so much they completely changed their style and broke up (well, the bassist left, however, they had said numerous times throughout the years that they would "quit being REM" if any of the members left the band...).

And the beanstalk grew straight up Satan's anus and into "Hockey Heaven" but that's just what the sign on the outside of the door said.

For a guy who is so vocal about his business ventures, you have to see why this question is very absurd, right?
Making the playoffs in the NHL brings several millions of dollars extra for a team just by having the 2 guaranteed home games, if not tens of millions per game.
A savvy businessman such as yourself must be able to see that making the playoffs consistently brings extra revenue, can be spent on improving the team facilities to improve conditioning and experience, as well as being able to afford marquee free agents? Coaches? Scouts?
Surely you must understand that being competitive is good for everyone? Even if you don't win that championship?
For a guy who is so obtuse in his sports fandom, you sure come across as the "Everyone gets a trophy" guy sometimes.

They are the source of some of the most repetitive and annoying radio-rock of the 80's and 90's. I don't care if their style and sound was ironic, it's tepid water on a cold day.
I've heard a lot of bands and acts I like called pretentious over the years. I think REM personifies pretentious.

The pegulas net worth went up like 500 million or something crazy like that. - Sabretooth9
Yeah, there were a few stimulus packages passed into law over the past year and we all got a thousand bucks while people like Uncle Terry got MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of dollars as part of that package.
Corporations make the political sphere go 'round.
I just find it to be completely insane that the rich still somehow got richer during this whole thing.
And we're on here like idiots arguing about Orange Man Bad and Sleepy Joe and the Xylophones like their the hottest acts on the scene right now.
