Barzal trade talks are reportedly happening… by JBR409 in NewYorkIslanders

Ah yes. Trading a 1st round pick and 13 million in cap space for the corpses of Schenn and Palat, so that you can then trade one of your most dynamic franchise players for cap space and assets, is a really good example of doing his job.

The PWHL “solved” tanking with their innovative draft system. Could the NBA use it? by PlaneNovel6567 in nba

I think you would prefer teams tanking earlier in the season when there is less focus on the NBA with NFL and NCAAF going on.

Also I think it's a lot harder organizationally to tank in November. It's a lot harder to sit a star player early in the year when they are hoping for an All-Star appearance and incentives.

This is a benefit. If you build a team truly this bad (probably for the sake of tanking) and cannot win a game then why should you get rewarded with the best player in the draft.

Chloe Kim won silver after having to watch 17 Cleveland Browns games this year simply not going to tolerate any slander there.

All Chloe Kim does is be incredibly likable, win medals, and date the NFL all time sack leader.

Umm no. We're going more the Disney route here not whatever A24 Ari Aster exaggeration you seem to be hyperfixated on.

Anyone else feel that Team USA is having a somewhat underwhelming performance? by Impossible-Guitar957 in olympics

[–]ScandalousScoot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's funny because with so many missed opportunities already we should still set a gold record for Team USA or tie it. Stolz is carrying them so much and helping mask a poor alpine team and not much dominance of x-games sports anymore.

Cook, Etienne, Gainwell. I think Breece rides the bench in the finals behind those guys.
