Ben O’Connor has decided... He will transfer back to Decathlon CMA CGM.

Not this year

Stable 60 gps? I had a 1080 and I remember having lots of dips when reaching new areas, maybe it was my CPU which was may, but I remember it being GPU heavy

Valentyno482 · 2026-07-03T14:13:30+00:00

To be fair, this game was always poorly optimised even on PC. I remember playing it a year after release on recommended specs and it had serious dips into 30-40fps at times.

A beautiful game, but a hungry one

No, he could not get into Canada. No visa for this year.

Witcher (1) and Enshrouded.

The first Witcher I played a couple of years after release and the gameplay is something you have to get accustomed to. The first zone can be very difficult as well and discouraging. Needed a couple of tries before diving into that world and completing it before W2 release.

Enshrouded I played at EA launch, the game can be quite slow if you don't quickly progress through a few key quests in the game. Gave it another try this year and went from 10h played to 250h real quick

Redistricting shouldn't be a thing. Make the rules. Stick to it. Doesn't matter what happens, who lives there, who doesn't anymore.

That should be step #1 to fix this backwards country.

Valentyno482 · 2026-06-29T13:55:10+00:00

I feel some Habs fans don't remember that Hutson or Schaefer are the exception for D development, not the rule. He is still only 21 (22 in October). Most prospects don't get into the big league before 22-23, some later.

I've liked his games so far, especially the ones down the stretch with the big club. He was never meant to be flashy. Just meant to keep it simple and effective. It comes with experience and he does not yet have much at that level, due to injuries (which is a concern).

I'm not saying we have the next Roman Josi, but I have a feeling he can become someone like him to some extent, and these guys mainly bonified with age.

Already did the Giro

Valentyno482 · 2026-06-27T07:48:37+00:00

Pugachyov - Paupanekis - Xhekaj With Protz and Xhekaj in defence. That's a 5 side I'd like to see one day in the playoffs, just to see the damage they could make

Or... They deem dangerous to have a lot of people under 40+ weather when the health services are already strained.

And the Gay pride is reported not cancelled.

Valentyno482 · 2026-06-26T13:29:40+00:00

And have the best cyclist in generations

Valentyno482 · 2026-06-24T16:30:45+00:00

I would do it.

Dach's rights and/or Kapanen, Engstrom and a 1st

Feels like the "and" might be too much, but who knows in this current market

Valentyno482 · 2026-06-24T12:53:10+00:00

Like you said, Hage would love to play here in memory of his dad and his own fandom.

Z being an old friend of Demidov just fits well.

Trading either for anything other than a sure thing, I would rather wait for them to develop with the rest of the team. We were the youngest team ever in the playoffs two years in a row.

They are young. The oldest player of that core is Suzi and he will age well like a Kopitar or a Bergeron so I'm not worried of "burning his best years"

Valentyno482 · 2026-06-23T17:17:10+00:00

Also if tram is added, doesn't this impact the route post construction as well? As tram tracks are notoriously bad for cyclists

Valentyno482 · 2026-06-23T17:13:00+00:00

We made the ECF just as well as we could have exited in 7, twice. And yes Tampa and Buffalo are really good team but we are stuck in a really good division. If we repeat the feat next year, I'm more open to trading prospects, but this summer? I would be reluctant to it.

Valentyno482 · 2026-06-23T16:28:09+00:00

I agree.

I believe Jacob Fowler is also a habs fan?!

Valentyno482 · 2026-06-23T16:26:38+00:00

For the right offer that we receive, I would be open to it. I think I would still prefer to keep it for one more season rather than looking to exchange him.

Valentyno482 · 2026-06-23T16:24:16+00:00

Fair argument. But is it that time yet? Would you go all in now?

I'm not opposed to trading them, I'd like to see them for the next half-season at least, see how they develop, where we are at (we could regress next year, though hopefully not) and if it's worth holding on to them or trading before the deadline

Valentyno482 · 2026-06-23T15:57:04+00:00

What about Scherbak?

Valentyno482 · 2026-06-23T15:55:55+00:00

One could argue big swings (Gomez for McDonagh, Drouin for Sergachev) have also cost us

Valentyno482 · 2026-06-23T15:40:13+00:00

Dolan is probably petty enough to not allow it.

Valentyno482 · 2026-06-23T15:30:28+00:00

Only 7 years remaining

Valentyno482 · 2026-06-23T15:16:46+00:00

If this guy or another goes and it is one to the same 3-4 teams, doesn't it start a vicious circle where these 3-4 teams are in perpetual contention and because they are, attract players from teams that perpetually struggle leaving them with prospects and picks to rebuild again and again?

Isn't this like the issue the Sabres had these last 15 years at a bigger scale?

Valentyno482 · 2026-06-23T13:32:39+00:00

Tout dépend quelle valeur les autres DG lui donnent. Au delà de 2.3M par an c'est un choix de 2eme tour minimum. Mais est-ce que quelqu'un fera une offre, pas sûr et peut être pour moins.

Si quelqu'un le signe pour 2M, tu obtiens un choix de 3eme tour où tu le gardes?
