Mods, pretty please pin this? And you can unpin the prospect poll main thread as well, that's all wrapped up now.

Bet that movie made more money from VHS rentals than any of these players will from NHL careers.

Gulyayev scored his first of the season yesterday... Nothing especial, just another shot from the blueline...

Makes me wonder if Blockbuster made more a year in fees for not rewinding tapes, than Jo Drouin made in salary last year?

If you add in late return fees, I can almost guarantee they did (probably from my boat alone one year). We deployed for an emergency underway to go out to sea and dive under a hurricane rather than sit in port and have it blow in over us while moored to the pier. It was supposed to be like 2 or 3 days, ended up being over a month because the piers got damaged and we could come home. *LOL*

I think the poor store manager at Blockbusters had to listen to over a dozen of us that got stuck with movies out on rental while this happened and the late fees mounted quick. I even asked if I could just buy the damn thing because it would've been cheaper. *LOL* She was a gem though and waived the fees for us after laughing at the whole thing.

Late fees were about a third of their revenue.

Nikita Ishimnikov has played the last 3 games for his KHL team and TOI increasing little by little. Honestly didn’t expect this considering he had like 5 points in 50ish games across the 3 different Russian leagues. Didn’t think he’d be on KHL radar. I know production/points isn’t everything but I mean it also kind of has to be to a degree.

 

[AvsFan4]

Do we know why Will Zellers isn’t playing for his USHL team yet?

In true Avs fashion he had some surgery in the summer and is not yet ready.

What kinda minutes is Gulyayev getting so far in the KHL? Only has 1 point in 9 games looking at EP.

He's not up the lineup much (bottom pairing mostly), and hasn't been good enough this year to have a bigger role. It's early though.

It speaks more to the KHL than anything else. Ishimnikov doesn't skate nearly well enough to have much of a chance in North America.
