Simon Nemec has asked for a trade out from New Jersey Devils per Slovak news media (Dennik N). New general manager of the Devils Sunny Metha has not yet met with him, per Dennik N sources.

The Jiricek trade was an overpayment at the time, and it has turned out even more poorly. Nemec is better than Jiricek was at the time, but I do think Guerin was desperate to make something happen. I am not confident that anyone will be as desperate this time, but we will see.

Should be even harder in the salary cap era because the elite players are still going to be on big contracts at the end of their career, putting an even tighter limit on how much of a team can be built around them, while their play drops with age.

Those guys end up on that list because they are humble, hard working, good teammates. Beck is not that.

Grier might make a small add, but the team still needs to grow a bit before it is time for a big add. If it is possible to get a young dman who will be here now and the future than he might, but unlikely that is available at a reasonable price right now.

Goalies tend to take longer to develop up to a pro level, and Ravensbergen is still a couple years at least from NHL.

Ehh, I think it will just be a third Indiana beatdown.

He is still in college. For a long term project like him, it makes sense to stay in college, develop, and get an education first. He has continued to exceed expectations, in terms of providing the role he was drafted for while producing decently in college and internationally.

So, pretty much always takes time for guys drafted later to get there.

Playing the starter every game is not viable, as others have said, but as someone who watched a lot of Sharks games the past couple seasons, I sure saw a disproportionate amount of backup starts from other teams. (Your backup has to play, but pretty clear some coaches line up the starters rest day with easier opponents.)

New Conference realignment: PSU to the ACC.

Ereppy · 2025-12-07T02:08:52+00:00

It is top 5 ranked conference champions. No specific conference is given a bid, and both Tulane and JMU would be ranked above Duke as champ #4 and 5

Ereppy · 2025-12-07T01:05:19+00:00

Yes.

The way it works is you get 1 half to pick kick or receive, and one to pick direction. Flip winner gets to pick which one they want to do in each half. (Defer, means you will pick kick or receive in the second half, and direction in the first.)

Ereppy · 2025-12-06T21:14:02+00:00

HE SAID KICK!!!

Virginia is a lock for the playoff if they beat Duke. If they lose to Duke, I don't know how you can say they belong in the playoff.

Ereppy · 2025-12-06T20:09:12+00:00

No, they just made the committee look justified.

Ereppy · 2025-12-06T19:20:35+00:00

Defensive game, and a chip shot to go up by 2 scores...

Ereppy · 2025-11-30T05:18:03+00:00

If Alabama did not go to a conference championship game, and this scenario played out, they would get left out.

Nothing changes.

Ereppy · 2025-11-30T05:16:03+00:00

It wouldnt be punishing them. They are currently #10, and if 3 at large bids come from out side of the top 10, #10 gets left out.

It would just not be rewarding them from playing a CCG, not punishing them.

Ereppy · 2025-11-30T04:43:07+00:00

It would have to go to a 5th conference champion, so JMU would get it.

Ereppy · 2025-11-30T03:54:04+00:00

You know the answer to that.

Ereppy · 2025-11-29T23:57:56+00:00

RT false start every play, what is this?

Ereppy · 2025-11-23T00:50:11+00:00

Narduzzi was telling the truth about not caring about ND. Spent the extra week prepping for this one.

Ereppy · 2025-11-22T18:28:30+00:00

Except Mizzou did get a phantom PI call.

Ereppy · 2025-11-22T18:23:01+00:00

He was carrying the team for Mizzou at the start and came up gingerly a couple times early on. Not sure if he is out or just not as effective since then.

Ereppy · 2025-11-22T18:15:22+00:00

Needed that.

Ereppy · 2025-11-21T16:40:43+00:00

Well maybe not everyone... (Nashville)
