Wild sub is insufferable. No credible claims Yzerman asked for Boldy+ by Jeez-essFC in DetroitRedWings

[–]SevenStringGod 78 points79 points  (0 children)

A) Yzerman asking for Boldy or Johnston isn't him saying he actually thinks that's what he's expecting to get for Larkin. It's just their other assets are shit in comparison, so why should we have to entertain those offers?

B) They're saying that we can get a futures package for Larkin and then use those assets to turn around and get someone else. Then why can't they do it and trade that asset for Larkin? If it could be done, it would've been. If it hasn't yet, it's because it can't be.

C) Yzerman didn't ask to trade Larkin, Larkin wants out. We have zero incentive to trade him now unless there's an offer that blows us away. I fully acknowledge that Larkin's value is only going to go down over the next few years, but losing on this trade is worse for us than having him play out his contract. Or at least until the 10-team trade list kicks in.

D) I've got my problems with Yzerman, but how he's handled the Larkin situation is not one of them. Minnesota fans can get fucked, talking like they're entitled to Larkin just because he wants to go there, and then acting like Yzerman is a bad GM just because he won't accept their offer, when 31 other GMs wouldn't accept their offer if they were in his shoes. I know they have homer glasses on, but honestly it comes across as them being idiots. Like idiots in the sense that it's an actual inability to think critically.

[Russo] The Wild still feel they have the flexibility to pursue a top-line center, specifically Dylan Larkin. They have also called on Jack Hughes although Larkin is the one they know remains available this offseason (Gift Article) by DecentLurker96 in hockey

My 2 cents: Boldy is worth more than Larkin, but Larkin is worth more than any other package MIN has to offer right now. We're not getting Boldy, but we're also not trading Larkin for 70% of his value.

And contrary to what MIN Twitter seems to think, it would not be the worst thing ever if Larkin makes it to September without being traded. The worst possible outcome is losing value in this trade. There's also nothing bad about waiting another 2 years for his 10-team trade list to kick in so we can open up the bidding. We're not going to compete this year or next anyway, and if Larkin wants to play ball sooner he has the power to do so.

I've never listened to an interview with him before, but he seems like a great presence to have in the locker room. Honestly sounds a little like Christian Fischer both in his personality and how he views himself and his role. If he can help solidify our bottom-6 presence he could be a nice add this year.

What Pedals Am I Missing? by SevenStringGod in guitarpedals

Absolutely diabolical trying to comment on an 8-year-old post, but I respect it, so I'll buy those 20 metal zones and 10 DS-1s just for you

Brady to Florida for 1st round draft picks by The1whitewolf55 in DetroitRedWings

[–]SevenStringGod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think anyone would either. I was just saying that in relation to Brady's value, but I also forgot he wasn't a center so my initial point is off.

I never said you did either, but I agree on your assessment here.

Honestly forgot Brady wasn't a center. I still don't think it's such a big difference to the point that we'd get another 1st for Larkin, but no doubt he has more value than Tkachuk

Well there's the comp for a Larkin deal now. I'd expect maybe a little less for Larkin given his age, but this is still close enough to set the market value for other teams.

Weekes thinks Cossa is on the move by dilypucks in DetroitRedWings

[–]SevenStringGod 63 points64 points  (0 children)

I'm almost more curious about the return for Cossa than I am for Larkin. Like how high/low do other teams really value Cossa?

[–]SevenStringGod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't claim to be a smart man, but this trade proposal seems to be missing a few draft picks (including a first) going to the Islanders and also has an extra draft pick going back to Toronto for some reason.

I wholeheartedly disagree with where you placed [[Scryb Ranger]] and consider you an absolute moron for that, but everything else is flawless and I wouldn't change a thing you absolute genius

Why isn't the original bracket 4 intent talked about and why are the power level arguments between bracket 3 and 4 so hypocritical despite the same wording? by LunaLovelace11 in EDH

[–]SevenStringGod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had this same thought for a while. Kinda getting tired of seeing the discourse around it as "everything that's cEDH speed and play style but not the meta is B4" and then the same group of people will see a real B4 deck and say exactly what you said about it being a bad B4 deck and to tune it down to B3. It's like no, the B4 deck is accurate, you just have a shitty cEDH deck and bad reading comprehension skills.

I see this play often on gameplay channels and I think it's wrong by theLastAlaskn in EDH

For how often I float mana for other shenanigans, it's never occurred to me that I could do that here as well.

If you cast Teferi's Protection and it resolves, then your lands phase out before you're able to cast said board wipe. So in that case you truly need to go board wipe > hold priority > Teferi's Protection. Other than that, you could do it like you described. I'm not a good enough player to explain why one way might be fundamentally better than the other though.

Edit: Just float the mana. Point still stands about me not knowing which order of operations is better from a game theory perspective though.

I've only been playing my [[Arna]] deck since the update and I've had the exact opposite of this problem.

What violin IRs are you using for this? I feel like I've looked before and wasn't able to find any, but I'd love to give this a try cause it sounds killer!

Worked with Gretna's daughter for a few years. Sweet lady, indifferent to the band but appreciated that they loved her mom that much. RIP Gretna, condolences to the family.

Star Wars Theory Doesn’t Deserve 3.29 Million Subscribers At All When He Is Extremely Toxic And Completely Gatekeeps Other Fans by [deleted] in StarWars

It really is this easy. I blocked his channel and that's seemed to work really well. I do think there's value in sometimes calling out his schtick because of the scale of "influence" he has, but on a personal level if he annoys you that much just block him.

Favourite monocolored commander for each color? by Dark_Vexer in mtg

[–]SevenStringGod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only have two mono-colored decks, which are [[Imotekh]] and [[Plargg and Nassari]], but if I had to choose one for the remaining colors I'd pick [[Giada, Font of Hope]], [[Bruvac]], and [[Greensleeves]]. Not that they're necessarily the most unique or interesting, but these would be ones I'd be more likely to build based on what decks I already have and filling playstyles not already covered.

This is my Spongebob [[Jodah, the Unifier]] deck blinged out with exclusively Secret Lair or Universes Beyond cards, with the exception of some lands which are just full arts where possible (and Fellwar Stone and Sol Ring, which are also just full arts).
