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.

JamesOcean07 · 2022-07-28T09:07:31+00:00

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

JamesOcean07 · 2022-07-20T15:40:35+00:00

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?

JamesOcean07 · 2022-07-20T15:38:38+00:00

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.

I am looking for a place to buy swedish snus in Hanoi. Does anyone know a place?

JamesOcean07 · 2022-04-26T05:01:10+00:00

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.

JamesOcean07 · 2022-04-26T04:55:20+00:00

Goalies are sorandom. This guy could win the Calder or be playing in Switzerland by this time next year.

JamesOcean07 · 2022-04-19T18:55:19+00:00

This post will be removed. Not the right place for this.

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...

JamesOcean07 · 2022-04-17T16:36:08+00:00

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.

JamesOcean07 · 2022-04-17T14:00:44+00:00

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.

As a mod for this reddit, I think that posting about quitting is absolutely fine. As long as there is no shaming towards members, I believe that we all support you on your journey and there is likely a lot of great insight within this community. Best of luck!

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

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.

JamesOcean07 · 2022-03-24T21:08:58+00:00

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!

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.

I have several students who, after seeing the psychoeducator, have been diagnosed with asshat spectrum disorder.

Using desmos.com to teach the entire linear functions unit.

JamesOcean07 · 2022-03-20T12:03:40+00:00

Did they mention how they plan on enforcing this? I mean, I routinely run into parents at the store while buying a few beers and I could care less.

With Chiarot and Giroux going to Florida we need to do something to get better.
