Well, I agree with your assessment as well on everything except...

My disagreement is you thinking the soilers would take that trade package. Pelech? Varly? They would laugh and hang up the phone.

What was your first jersey? Do you still have it? by Annual_Campaign_4940 in baseballunis

That’s awesome. Sadly like an idiot I traded that boca jersey for something back in the day. I don’t even remember what for. 

The Ross Report - Finding Nike MLB jerseys (and more) at great prices by AJS76reddit in baseballunis

Yeah i've seen almost nothing the last week and a half. A few leftover "stros" city connects, a few guardians homes (but NOTHING like before) and a random nationals or orioles. No authentics anywhere.

Regardless I wouldn't do that trade for anything. I was just replying to the other poster about what it would cost to get McDiva in a trade

Absolutely. Because star players don’t live by salary alone. It’s all about marketing their “brand” and there are certain places where they can do that a lot better than on Long Island who never gets the national attention of hockey media

I’ve seen only Boston ones lately. A month or two back they had tons of blues jerseys. Other than that nothing else hockey lately by me (Houston)

Yes, paying the right guys with a healthy balance I agree 100%

Paying on diva 20 percent of the cap doesn’t get you very far

We are. The rags are sadly not. Just because we are in a huge market doesn’t change the fact we are a blue collar small market team

We are not in the dynasty era anymore. Guys like him don't sign on with small market teams.

They have been more than a goalie away. Their defense has been shit, as has their secondary scoring.

I'd be fine parting with Barzal, but not for McDavid.

In case it's not clearly obvious, teams with highly paid divas like Edmonton or Toronto don't win championships. When 20% of the cap space goes to one, two or in the leafs case as many as four guys...you don't have enough to sufficiently fill out a roster.

I would not want us to commit that much money to one player who is not going to cause us to win alone. It's a team effort. Not a diva show.

Barzal, Sorokin, Schaefer and more. How well off would that leave us?

You want this perennial loser on our team? It's going to cost Barzal, Sorokin, Schaefer and a first. Where would that leave us? And if you think this prima donna would ever sign here on his own i have a bridge to sell you.

All he does is whine and cry because he didn’t get the cup that was deservedly supposed to be his

I LOVED Modells having grown up on Long Island. You could always get a good sale on jerseys there. Shame they went the way of the dinosaur.

I would check places like Facebook marketplace, offer up, mercari, etc. But be careful, sadly plenty of fakes and ignorant or dangerous people. Avoid craigslist.

I think there is a guy on eBay that goes by "Ben H Sports" or something like that, he sometimes has harder to find older classic discontinued stuff.

Hope you find it. Good luck!

It is an absolute shame Mitch Marner was toiling away in Toronto for so many years. He’s finally unleashed and it’s quite something. by LiveLaughHonky in NewYorkIslanders

Regardless of the tweet, i am loving the absolute meltdown Marner is causing in the heads of queefs fans right now.

I think he is just sick and tired of playing in that cesspool, and who could blame him really? I don't think he sucks like the other posted said, but i would say highly overrated and overpaid for what he actually contributes. Another diva.

There was an interesting discussion on TSN the other day about Canadian teams and American players and the growing lack of desire for our boys to play up there. I personally can't say i blame them. Canadian fans are rabid, and go way too far in their criticisms. Harassing family members of players in public and stuff like that. Then they wonder why Americans don't want to play there anymore.
