Around the League 36-But Who's Counting...

[CupInSIX]

I wonder how Ryan Reynolds could rebrand a red and black Canadian franchise to increase interest and attention?

He'll rename it the Deadpools.

Bret Hart must be so jealous right now. All he could afford was a crummy WHL team.

Doesn’t hurt to add some insurance. Comrie is not proven at all and their backup is 41 year old Craig Anderson. They’re not going to go anywhere with that tandem.

To be fair, 4 years ago people said the same about Mrazek and McEhinney.

And where did we go? Nowhere. No Cup and now we’re wasting our window.

 

[Weltschmerz]

All of those other options you listed are also unproven at the nhl level. What bearing would their guys coming out of college have on their current season? They’re not going to go into the playoffs with Comrie at his current level and Anderson. I’m not suggesting they so anything immediately but I’m sure it’s something they would consider further into the season. Reimer wouldn’t be expensive and you pretty much know what you’re getting from him.

There are not that many proven options left with lots of the old guard goalies retiering over the last few years, Leafs, Oilers, Devils, Red wings and Vegas all went with gambling on that position as well and I don't see anyone saying Vegas won't make the playoffs with that tandem.

Levi I could see coming out of college and running away with the job, he looked ready last season.

And if Reimer is so great why didn't the Canes keep him?

But yeah if injurys happen like last year they might have to look at other options, for now lets wait and see.

You lost me with this argument The canes going in a different direction doesn’t mean Reimer isn’t a good goalie. He’s been performing well on a bad sharks team.

You know I've started opening my mind more to the ideas tossed around in the GDTs, and I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'. Food for thought.

Ftfy. We're done, Canes should trade Aho for futures.

@Lempo Aho was the "future considerations" all along it seems

Please bring back peace and harmony to the board. I think you need to consult your sensei.

Yup. I'm all about the peas and hominy. Mmmmmmm....

Edit: In case I made you hungry:

Ingredients​

• 
  
• 6 ounces thick-cut bacon
• 1/2 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 jalapeños, seeded and diced
• 4 cloves garlic, diced minced
• 1 10-ounce can tomatoes with green chiles, drained
• 1 15-ounce can black-eyed peas, drained
• 2 15-ounce cans white hominy, drained
• 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, plus more for garnishing
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 8 ounces sour cream
• 6 ounces 1 1/2 cups shredded yellow cheddar
• 6 ounces 1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack
• Sour cream, for serving (optional)
• Guacamole, for serving (optional)

Instructions​

• Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a plate with a paper towel.
• In a large cast-iron skillet, cook the bacon on medium-low heat, turning once, until beginning to crisp and the fat has been rendered, about 8-10 minutes. Place the bacon on the paper-towel lined plate and remove all but 1 tablespoon of bacon grease from the skillet (reserving the rest for another use). Add to the skillet the onion and jalapeño, and while occasionally stirring, cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 more seconds.
• Turn off the heat. Chop the bacon into 1/2-inch pieces and add it to the skillet along with the tomatoes, black-eyed peas, hominy, cilantro, cumin, salt, cayenne, and lime juice. Taste and adjust seasonings. Stir in the sour cream until well combined, then stir in half of the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack. Top the casserole with the remaining cheese and bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes or until it’s brown and bubbling.
• Garnish with cilantro and serve warm, either on its own or topped with sour cream and guacamole if you like.

Google says $150m. He's done well with his gin company and Mint Mobile. Some level of partial ownership/financing would likely be involved.

He'll probably take the same approach as the Man U owners (Glaser) who put up about a 1/3 in cash & borrowed the rest of it. Of course, borrowing costs are a lot higher these days.

Sensei Lewis tragically passed this summer.

He was decapitated when the Canes violently slammed their contention window shut onto his neck like a guillotine.

Arizona have a new helmet sponsor and the jokes pretty much write themselves.

It’s Goodwill.

People make fun of Tapi, but if we had dealt Aho when he suggested, those kids would be making their way through the Canes system by now and in a couple years we could possibly be contenders! That's just math!

 

[Sens1Canes2]

So the Senators could be for sale, and Ryan Reynolds is interested in buying them to ensure they stay in Ottawa. Which might be the coolest thing to happen to the Senators since the EK days

Count me as one who wouldn’t want this. Owners (IMO) are best when they’re virtually non-existent. And yes, I AM A COWBOYS FAN.

Those futures for Sebastian Aho could have turned into anything. One of them could even have been Sebastian Aho!

 

[LakeLivin]

ALL of them could have been Sebastian Aho! If only we had known how smart Tapi was!

 

[Canes]

Ryan Reynolds liquidity isn't enough to buy the Sens outright. He'd be a minority owner at most.

That said, say hello to the Houston Gunslingers.
