2020/21 Roster Thread

I’m down to offer sheet Tampa for Cernak. He’s a great defense-first defenseman. Probably a pipe dream. I just enjoy watching him shut shit down

Uhhh, we got Hagg.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

By the time I realized how good that place was it closed.

Shoney’s breakfast too was a childhood favorite.

I don’t think they have closed everywhere but Fuddruckers was my favorite lunch spot.

As of June 2020 I believe all Fuddruckers closed up.
They were in debt and had some places open but Covid came along and finished them off.

I temporarily dislike you

Waiting for the news on a new 8 year deal.
Guessing the cap hit will be around 5 or 6 mil a season.

The expansion draft limits us from doing this...or other things to upgrade the D

They’re still tweeting so I don’t think they are completely dead but it’s inevitable. I think there’s one in the Lancaster area.

I remember seeing a shit ton of them when I was in Houston for work last year.

 

[BernieParent]

They need a true generational superstar, perhaps Ruth’s Chris?

I got food poisoning at a Ruth's Chris in Calgary. Ordered salmon, thinking "This is a Ruth's Chris; they'll do salmon right." Did I mention I was attending an advisory board as the medical writer? I had to leave the room 3 times to vomit and then get right back to work.

 

[BernieParent]

I'd only eat the fries, so I wouldn't give the prospect a real shot. I'd let them wither in the minors and package them in a deal for a different restaurant.

And re-sign the Ponderosa?

An offer sheet? How uncouth, Theodore. Positively barbaric. Tut tut!

Perchance a defender, the likes of DeMelo or Dillon, becomes available at the right cost, this might warrant consideration. But the gentlemanly act, the honorable deed, is to take care of your own restricted free agents, not poach others like some common thief.

 

[Striiker]

The last thing this roster needs is more defense-first players.

AV is already trying to suck all the fun out of hockey. We need all the skill and offensive ability we can get to compensate.

Damn that sucks. I’ve eaten there at least 5 locations (not Calgary though) and never had a bad meal.

I’d be down with either of those two defenseman. DeMelo in particular could be signed for cheap and provide a lot of value. Seeing mostly 3 year projections for Dillon and that’s a bit rich for my liking.

Cernak is a good defenseman though. Good passer, skater, excellent at defending entries, & just defending in every aspect. I can understand haviang an aversion to defense-first defenseman but he’s a giant eraser. Those have value

My problem is much much much more that I don't trust AV to use them properly than it is with defense-first defensemen themselves. I can easily imagine adding some player who would be an asset if used properly and then seeing them become his new favorite toy.

I was a big Gudas defender, so it's not like I only like the Ghost-types.

I know you post a lot and I don't spend much time here - so do I assume that to mean that you like one-dimensional, undersized defensemen with shit show defensive ability?

No, I said the "Ghost-types". The offensively-gifted, defensively-solid, elite puck movers who prove that you don't need to be big to be a very good defensemen.

Oh wow. Thats an impressive display of IQ.

You mean York.

Would I be right in assuming that this is another buzz guy who followed you over here?

same but I never get fish there haha. Rib eye all day

 

[flyerslducks]

i really hope freidman blows hagg away and plays more next year. I like his game, kinda reminds me of vatanen. Feisty guy who likes to battle
