Saros and Swayman f***in killing me tonight.

You need a VLOG where every day it starts with you buying a laptop at Best Buy and then looking excited while opening the laptop and saying, "Well let's take a look at how my fantasy team is doing today."

Immediately followed by a montage of you freaking out while cursing out your players and smashing your laptop.

Every day the same format.

You could have a theme with Tage Thompson too, where every day starts off with you vocalizing your conscious decision to be optimistic about how today is the day he turns everything around.

Immediately followed by him posting shit numbers and you getting blackout drunk and talking shit about him while saying you'll never fall for his charms again.

Every day the same format.

Am I the only one who remembers that Rantanen has been extremely bad for 2 seasons? Remember the Ismo drama last year?

The difference in Carolina is he doesn't get away with playing lazy ass hockey while collecting free Mack and empty netter points.

No pity from me. The team that will sign him will regret it pretty damn fast...it may also turn out into another Tavares situation where his contract automatically raises the AAV of every other core guy on the team.

There is no way, no how that a guy who topped out at 104 points last year and has 67 in 57 games this year has been "extremely bad." Call him frustrating, say he's not meeting expectations, but that is not "extremely bad." What we're seeing with Ross Colton and Casey Mittelstadt is extremely bad.

The Ismo drama was nothing. Ismo blurted out something, Mikko called him out on it, and he apologized.

The team that signs Mikko to a megadeal may indeed regret it but to me that's just more of the same with all teams who sign a guy in his late twenties to a gigantic max term contract they know damn well won't age well. The only entity I take no pity on are the teams who continually sign deals like that and then bitch and moan about revenues and the CBA afterward.

I'd argue his recent play away from Mack is a worse situation seeing as how much he's supposed to impact the game, and the money he's paid.

You can be extremely bad and extremely talented/opportunistic at the same time.

He was awful away from the puck, he was making bad decision after bad decision and his defensive play was the worst on the team.

He's very talented, has a great shot and played with arguably the best center in the game. That's how you end up with a talented hockey player who plays bad hockey and collects tons of points.

Let's see how many 50 goals/100 pts seasons he has away from Mack and Bednar.

I mean, we can have the discussion about if Mikko is past his prime and how his future production is going to look. But few years back, he was in fact more productive away from MacKinnon.
