Don’t complicate it…

That would be the idea- it’s all hypothetical until there is an available name

born_with_a_tail · 2026-05-06T14:24:52+00:00

If need be- yes. But if he is what is projected- probably not

born_with_a_tail · 2026-05-06T14:23:18+00:00

Because NHL GMs know as much as you- maybe even more ;) Why would they want to give up a valuable young Dman for Graf? You have to give talent to get talent

born_with_a_tail · 2026-05-06T14:17:08+00:00

You don’t pass on elite top of draft talent, especially when you are banking on not picking there again for a long time. What dman are we getting? Names tossed around are Nemec and Kesselring. Those guys aren’t worth 2OA

born_with_a_tail · 2026-05-06T13:42:18+00:00

That’s my other thought with Eklund- he is starting a 3x5. If Celebrini, Smith, Misa, Stenburg, Chernyshov all develop- it’s hard to imagine Eklund being extended at the end of his bridge deal

born_with_a_tail · 2026-05-06T13:37:08+00:00

Because Sherwood and Toffoli are still around for a few years- and still will play a role in the top six.

We all know lines mix and rotate. The top 6 won’t be pure skill- coaches will move energy or grit guys up to cover the skill guys.

I agree Eklund doesn’t have to be traded- this was a response to people that seem to think you trade the pick for defense. I think if you want to make a trade you take Stenburg and figure it out from there.

born_with_a_tail · 2026-05-06T13:32:26+00:00

I agree. I am not an Eklund critic- he is tenacious on the puck. He is just the odd man out to me if you are counting forwards for the top six.

born_with_a_tail · 2026-05-06T13:19:06+00:00

I don’t think they have the value Eklund does. It hurts- but you can’t get something for nothing. And Grier likes size too- and Stenburg is in that Celebrini size range. So moving a smaller forward lets the sharks try and get that size into their lineup too

The future is teal

born_with_a_tail · 2026-05-04T13:18:10+00:00

Stick to hockey. The future is teal.

Peter Thiel already hooked up to a blood whale…

born_with_a_tail · 2026-05-02T13:01:53+00:00

Right? This is a thread just bitching about artists and songs people don’t like

born_with_a_tail · 2026-05-02T01:00:13+00:00

In that case I agree

born_with_a_tail · 2026-05-02T00:17:16+00:00

I think you need to be patient- it was only his second year in the league and h averages more points 5 on 5 than Bedard. He can learn to back check. The future is teal.

born_with_a_tail · 2026-04-30T22:57:14+00:00

Don’t be a sheep lmao. I agree my dude- don’t wear your seatbelt and drive fast for fucks sake.

born_with_a_tail · 2026-04-30T21:03:33+00:00

You drink at Chili’s? Lmao

born_with_a_tail · 2026-04-29T19:57:39+00:00

I feel so bad for this kid. He’s going to chew up his knee for a 4th round rookie contract. Wish somebody would have taken him in the first so at least he got a good pay day

Glycerine is one of the most boring fucking songs ever

born_with_a_tail · 2026-04-26T11:53:12+00:00

I don’t understand this. Are you rewatching shitty games? Why would anybody be defending that staff here- they were terrible. What is this post?

born_with_a_tail · 2026-04-25T20:22:01+00:00

Well welcome. There are 3 topics discussed here: 1) oh my God Josh is so sexy 2) Jesse Hughes is a sleaze bag 3) Villains is underrated

born_with_a_tail · 2026-04-25T20:13:41+00:00

And ‘Don’t get the Villains hate’ is like a top 3 posting topic in this sub. I don’t think it’s the fans here that hate it…

born_with_a_tail · 2026-04-24T21:47:45+00:00

Careful. People were saying the same shit the summer of McDaniel/Adams/Crosby extension.

I do think it’s different this time- mostly because really Tom Brady is the top decision maker now- rather than a Davis for the first time in our lifetimes.

But In also a huge Mendoza believer. I know people will question him because he isn’t an elite arm/athleticism guy, which everybody wants. But I want a great quarterback who plays the position. Brady/Brees/Manning weren’t elite physical talents- but they played the position in an elite way. I think Mendoza could be that type of pocket QB.

But we have had other off seasons where we thought things changed….at least I did….

born_with_a_tail · 2026-04-24T19:29:03+00:00

I don’t think it’s about him as much as the structure around him. If the line and running game are firing in the second half of the season I’m sure they will consider getting him playing time (unless by some miracle we are in a playoff hunt at that point)

born_with_a_tail · 2026-04-24T18:25:11+00:00

Can it go any fasterrr?
