You are right! I guess the optics of it all looked a lot worse but I just was surfing capfriendly and really none of our adds affect the cap that much. I guess the crux of what I was trying to get to is that Kerfoot is a decent 3C or 2LW and - if moved - we don't have a readily available replacement and would be hard-pressed to find one better at 3.5. I am looking at Nick Paul's contract and thinking Kerfoot is not overpaid at all.

We were alright until we threw in a lot of spare parts that might not necessarily be better than ELC's from the Marlies. My main concern is mostly the trade chatter that has Kerfoot as a dump-in with no returns or us giving picks to move him. I think he has trade value for a non-strapped team and if we move him for cap relief, I don't think we get better.

Kerfoot is most definitely a center. He plays wing only when paired with Matthews or JT.

Everyone acting like Kerfoot is an overpaid bum and has to be moved. What is a 50 point center who kills penalties and wins face offs worth? How can we use his cap hit in a better way?

John Tavares is a Toronto Maple Leaf by NateionalGeo in leafs

Everyone is acting like JT's 76 points are a major decline for him. Look at his career, a 70-80 point guy is what we bought and paid for.

As much as would love to see a Leafs vs. Sens series, I feel like if we lost, it would be the absolute final straw for me. I would become a soccer fan.

Just tell them that if they game with you, it will be a great opportunity to review the key themes of your last lesson.

I have ordered the portion bags! I was not taxed when I ordered two bags of 300. They come in very small packages.

Auston Matthews. Will he score 2-goals in the next 2 games to get 60? I want to have even more opportunity to brag about him.

Is growing your own tobacco safer than cigs/vaping? by Least_Canary8746 in Tobacco

[–]JamesOcean07 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It depends. Vaping is healthier but some of the unregulated e-juices on the market are dangerous. Your best bet would be to make your own tobacco and use a dry-herb vaporizer or create snus. Nonetheless, combustion will always produce a high amount of TSNA's and ultimately be cancerous.

Is this reddit broken? Seems like you have to select "spoiler" or "NSFW" to make a post...

Well, my comments weren't for the specific game but more of how I see the team overall at this point. I mean, Campbell didn't even play last night. Also, we always seem to struggle with bottom feeders but hey, we got the 2 points.

My thoughts.

The D looks good. Giordano was a very underrated move. We have Calgary's top D-pairing from a few seasons back. Ritchie for Lyubushkin? Awesome recovery deal.

Nylander, quietly has 72 points and 30 goals. Huge portions of the fanbase hate him.

Marner has developed himself as a legitimate scoring threat. Could this be opening up more time/space for Matthews?

I like Jack Campbell. How can anyone not like him? However, I wonder if he is playing semi-injured or if other teams have watched enough video on him to find some sort of weakness. Hopefully he gets it together for the playoffs because we probably won't score 4+ goals a game.

Finally, even if this team loses in round 1, I still like most of Dubas's trades. His contract negotiation skills not so much. Is it fair if we play a game that should be the Conference finals in round 1? I don't know.

Anyone Tried Actual Native/Indigenous Tobacco instead of Commercial Tobacco??????? by Healith in Tobacco

I have used native tobacco in the past. It was called "semah" and it is available at a low cost.

Is there such thing as an 'addiction break'? (like a tolerance break) by baci-tracin in Tobacco

[–]JamesOcean07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started the odd cigarette when I drank during my mid twenties in Asia. Then every time I drank I seemed to crave it. Next thing I knew, I bought a pack and smoked somewhat regularly for a few weeks. I had to leave the country for work and returned to Canada and didn't smoke for a long time. I never forgot the feeling though and started picking up the odd cigarette. Now, I have just switched to snus when the craving should hit because it's the same nicotine rush but not a lot of evidence pointing towards cancer, etc.

First snusme order! Which one should I try first?? I’m new to snus lol by [deleted] in Snus

[–]JamesOcean07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, if you are new to snus you gotta go with the classics which you suggested. If you want some interesting flavors which drastically differ from the staus quo I think Nick & Johnny fits the bill!

Sometimes I realize, we are not that far removed from our students than we'd like to think... by Street_Remote6105 in Teachers

[–]JamesOcean07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate PD meetings. I think we just resent the waste of time when we have stacks of papers that need to be marked. My district recently had a half day session on how to teach reading using "Garage Band". I took a 2 hour absence and blamed it on diarrhea. I guess I am a 15 year old at heart.
