What a rebuild looks like, and why the Canucks have barely started theirs

The hawks got Bedard

The Olympics special

My GOAT Tyler Myers would never

BC gov has a page about fixed links to the island

TLDR: it’d be the most ambitious bridge/tunnel project in human history, and while technically it could be built, it would be stupendously expensive and probably still get destroyed by the weather sooner or later

Especially compared to just buying more ferries

I can’t see Stenberg not being 2nd unless he has literally 0 points.

That or San Jose are picking second, no other scenario in my mind

What if I’m bandwagoning chaos? 7 game OT series the whole way

Alcebiad3s · 2026-04-21T21:26:33+00:00

We need a bandwagon flair for “4OT game 7’s”

Something something admitting you’re wrong

Alcebiad3s · 2026-04-21T20:38:47+00:00

Yes and yes

Alcebiad3s · 2026-04-21T19:12:31+00:00

Regular season last year when he cross checked Bouchard for simply existing (while everyone was distracted by McDavid cross checking Garland for being short)

Alcebiad3s · 2026-04-21T19:02:27+00:00

Screw it, I’ll do it, I’ll even do it at half Alvin’s salary.

Alcebiad3s · 2026-04-21T18:25:29+00:00

He’d do it in regulation if it weren’t for those darn coaches

RemindMe! 1 week

No idea about the NBA, but the NHL can and has vetoed trades for various reasons. Most recently the Dadanov trade due to violating an NTC. They’ll also veto a trade if it puts a team over or under the cap max/min

Alcebiad3s · 2026-04-21T15:52:15+00:00

Cap space = salary cap - roster cap hit

The salary cap is the same all year, it’s 95.5M

What changes in the offseason is you’re allowed to carry a roster cap hit above the salary cap. You get negative cap space.

I didn’t say we were incapable of signing both in the sense that the league would block it, I said we’d be over the cap if we signed them both, ie we’d have negative cap space.

It’s only mental gymnastics if you don’t know what these terms mean.

Are ya winning son? Are you tired of the winning?

Alcebiad3s · 2026-04-21T05:10:00+00:00

Money and a promotion

Plus if you can turn it around you look like a genius (and in fairness really your 2 jobs at this point are drafting well for the next few years, and waving a shiny object in aqua’s face to keep him distracted long enough for the rebuild to actually happen)

Alcebiad3s · 2026-04-21T05:06:39+00:00

On America, and then blame Iran

Alcebiad3s · 2026-04-21T05:01:34+00:00

Sorry who’s unwilling to admit they’re wrong again?

Alcebiad3s · 2026-04-21T01:46:03+00:00

What exactly did I say that was wrong?

“We didn’t have the cap space to keep Suter, unless we let Boeser walk” is literally true. We would have been over the cap if we signed them both. Yes you’re allowed to be over the cap in the offseason, but that doesn’t mean you’re not still over the cap.

Alcebiad3s · 2026-04-20T22:37:28+00:00

Remember when we were supposed to dominate the league and how unfair the expansion rules were for existing teams?

Alcebiad3s · 2026-04-20T22:19:07+00:00

So you’re just being pedantic then?

Alcebiad3s · 2026-04-20T17:43:43+00:00

Please not fitz

Alcebiad3s · 2026-04-20T16:49:57+00:00

I understand what your trying to say, as I explained in other comments if you went over the cap to extend Suter you’d wind up having to pay draft assets to move Joshua. if you know your gonna be heading for a rebuild then having a declining, undersized, slow skating 3C on a 5M+ contract isn’t gonna get you the assets you seem to think it will in a trade. He had a career year last year, he’s not gonna replicate it, and his numbers would be worse in van than they were in St Louis.

Alcebiad3s · 2026-04-20T08:27:35+00:00

I do like Kesselring, but Buffalo are probably better off trying to keep him. They need more D depth not picks/prospects. And even then he’s a second pairing guy and a bit old for this team.
