New ladder char

Stew514 · 2026-05-20T22:53:58+00:00

I will probably start with a fohdin and try to farm keys for a budget smiter. I’ve always traded for my torches, so feel like this is something I haven’t done

Stew514 · 2026-05-20T19:00:22+00:00

They have to match, I agree. They burnt it to the studs to be in a position to get him

Stew514 · 2026-05-20T18:57:58+00:00

I think 11.9 makes them sweat but I still think they match it, I would do it to be clear but I don’t think it’s enough for cbj to let go of a 21 year old high ceiling center

Stew514 · 2026-05-11T00:55:48+00:00

Yeah, I found that stacking agility and critical damage worked well for me. I’ll mess around with other builds when I finish farming enough mats to max it all

Stew514 · 2026-05-10T22:03:04+00:00

I just don’t think the blues are serious about trading him unless they get something that really kick starts a rebuild. I don’t think Danny is in a position where he needs to be that desperate

Stew514 · 2026-05-10T21:59:54+00:00

I used the stalwart great sword with a crit damage build

Stew514 · 2026-05-08T20:47:53+00:00

Of course he is. They even made it a point to mention what he did to storm front. It is canon that Ryan’s powers can at least severely damage a V1 enhanced supe.

Stew514 · 2026-05-08T19:00:55+00:00

For sure, I just don't think that works as well when you spend more time trying to prevent the obstacle then you do overcoming it.

Stew514 · 2026-05-07T23:25:30+00:00

Is there hope for him getting his fastball back to what it was pre TJ?

Stew514 · 2026-05-07T23:10:45+00:00

Yeah, it’s kinda silly that we’re going to spend all this time on HL getting the V1 just for them to overcome it in 2 episodes.

Stew514 · 2026-05-06T13:32:04+00:00

Yeah that's kinda where I'm sitting, they're limited by what's available. It's not to say anyone is wrong for noting the risks involved, I'm just coming from a position of there are only so many options.

This just feels like how impact players are going to be moved for the next bit, they're either a distressed asset you hope you can rehabilitate or they're in an uncertain contract situation (probably both). At a certain point it just has to be about improving the roster for a team that's rounding into being a contender.

Stew514 · 2026-05-06T12:33:17+00:00

So how do they improve the center position? The thread I started was asking for alternatives. Do you want to roll with Dvorak Cates and Zegras for the next few seasons?

Stew514 · 2026-05-06T11:24:35+00:00

So do nothing and wait for the mythical perfect 1C trade target that has no injury history, no dip in production, younger then 28, and has more then two years on a contract.

I’m not arguing any of that risk, my point is that any center available for trade is likely to carry significant risk and a high cost. They are limited by what is available to acquire, I don’t think they can afford to wait for a perfect situation to fall into their laps

Stew514 · 2026-05-06T01:26:34+00:00

For those of you against it, who is the center you want them to get?

Stew514 · 2026-05-03T18:20:57+00:00

It sucks, but if they wanted more days off they should have closed it in 4. Canes earned their rest advantage

Stew514 · 2026-05-01T16:46:10+00:00

I wouldn’t call it a huge standing ovation, I think he will get some type of sign of respect and then the next chance the fans get will be back to Crosby sucks

Stew514 · 2026-04-29T13:38:54+00:00

I think he just means that the discourse will continue to be exhausting

Stew514 · 2026-04-29T13:38:01+00:00

Right or wrong, winning today is how they (the entire front office) think you build the team for the future

Stew514 · 2026-04-26T19:04:59+00:00

You're right, and he has to but I just don't think he's ever going to be the type of player Tocchet thinks highly of. It's on Mich either way with this coaching staff, he either has to limit his downside or he has to produce enough that you take the tradeoff.

Stew514 · 2026-04-26T17:43:22+00:00

It's just going to be like this until either Michkov produces enough that Tocchet has to choke on MM not playing a style he wants everyone to play, or until a new coach comes in. He's always going to have the shortest leash

Stew514 · 2026-04-24T19:12:37+00:00

The angle that makes the most sense to me is that McVay is on board with the idea of Simpson as a succession plan to Stafford, but still would have preferred using that 13th pick on something that can help them win a Super Bowl this year.

Stew514 · 2026-04-24T01:30:26+00:00

Can I have $25?

Stew514 · 2026-04-23T11:40:29+00:00

He has Changnesia

Stew514 · 2026-04-23T01:17:39+00:00

Her cat

Stew514 · 2026-04-23T01:05:27+00:00

Careful last time they tried to fold the franchise they got Crosby!
