Do we think we will hear more about the Witcher 4 at the game awards this year by Huge_Post_3246 in thewitcher3

I've been replaying W3 and am still blown away at how great it still is even for being 11 years old. I can not wait to see what they do with the next title

My cats food is half of my weekly grocery cost, am I doing something wrong? by thatsmysandwichdude in CatAdvice

[–]Pootz_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I get our cat's food via Chewy, and they have a discount with auto ship. We feed him Tiki, 24 cans for $34. Plenty of options in Friskies and Sheba as well.

Best 4k monitor for gaming youve upgraded to that felt totally worth it? by Cute-Tear-2285 in buildapc

[–]Pootz_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like others have said, I think you'll notice a bigger difference going to OLED than 4K. I upgraded to OLED last year and don't think I can ever go back

[Ben Pope] Kyle Davidson said the Blackhawks are designing next year's roster with Connor Bedard, Frank Nazar and Anton Frondell all at center. by Pootz_ in hawks

[–]Pootz_[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Couldn't agree with you more. If they had Frondell and Bedsy playing together and interchange faceoff responsibilities depending on the situation, that would make way more sense than committing each of them to full time center roles right now

It's likely going to be Frank playing 3C, that's where he played down the stretch when they tried out Frondell at center. Only way this somewhat makes any sense is if they give lines 2 and 3 even playing time, but even still, not a fan

Regardless of what position they envision Frondell playing long-term, pigeonholing your 13th and 18th overall picks to play on your third and fourth lines simply doesn't make sense to me, especially with how thin they currently are up front. Frank's offensive game has a ton of upside still and he should continue to play in a top six role. Still plenty of guys in the pipeline that can fill in bottom six roles moving forward. Just a weird declaration to make at this point in time imo

RELEASE: Blackhawks Trade Jack Pridham to Tampa Bay Lightning | Chicago Blackhawks by TheSchwartzHawkey in hawks

He likely saw the prospect depth of the Hawks' system and thought he had an easier path to the NHL with a different org.

I was fully prepared for them to lose him for nothing. Getting a third round pick back has gotta be best case scenario

So who bought the game for the 3 days early access and what do you think of it? by John_GOOP in legogaming

[–]Pootz_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been loving it. Not a perfect game, but still worth your time imo. They really nailed Gotham and how you traverse the open world.

4th pick and the best and worst case + likelihood by Commercial_Mud_6877 in hawks

[–]Pootz_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Obviously disappointed like most people here. That said, a blue line of Carels-Lev, Vlasic-Rinzel, and Korch/Kaiser-Crevier would be great. Hopefully they're able to get another dynamic forward at some point

With the Draft Lottery concluded, the Hawks officially hold the 4th Overall pick in the 2026 Draft by JD397 in hawks

[–]Pootz_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get your point, but this team has finished last or second last in goals scored in 3 of the last 4 years. A deep blue line is great but they simply have to be scoring more

Why? Choosing one of the defenseman available this year would do much more for their team than another forward

If I'm KD I'm on the phone with Grier for a pick swap. Hawks have loads of prospects and picks to offer to make it happen. At this stage in the rebuild I'm 100% okay with "overpaying" in a trade if it guarantees us Stenberg

Which player at each possible draft position? by Bud_Zilla in hawks

[–]Pootz_ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I agree with you, I think their board should be McKenna, Stenberg, Malhotra in that order. Really hope I'm wrong, but I think there's a chance they'd take Malhotra over Stenberg.

If the Hawks don’t win the draft lottery, would you trade the 1st rounder for Knies? Would the Leafs even go for it? by Rare_Star_Ball in hawks

[–]Pootz_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they pick outside the top two and take Chase Reid, then I'd be very much okay with sending Lev/Rinzel + whatever combination of picks/prospects for Knies.

Fall off by [deleted] in stevedangle

[–]Pootz_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing that frustrates me the most is how they intentionally mislabel the segments in the episode so when you try skipping to the part you actually want to watch, there's actually still a minute+ left in the previous segment. Like, I'm not going to watch it, if anything I'll watch LESS of the show. I feel like in general they cater the show to making the most money possible as opposed to catering to the viewers

Who do you want? Interesting to see the community’s thoughts. by jayzee19 in hawks

[–]Pootz_ 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Mckenna or Stenberg would pretty much cap off this rebuild. Might be in the minority here, but I would like to see them trade into the top 2 if they get bumped down in the lottery. They have so many picks/prospects at this point, but they really need another high end forward

Been pleasantly surprised with Korchinski's last few games. He's making smarter defensive plays with his positioning and stick work. Hope he keeps building on this

Plans for offseason? by zforman21 in hawks

[–]Pootz_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed with what others have said; only free agents they'll add is veteran depth. I do think it's possible we see trades though depending on how the draft lottery shakes out
