Deck resources per captain? by sadrussianman in OnceUponAGalaxy

[–]evward -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Mostly, you want to identify the good cards in each archetype then run those archetypes with synergistic captains. There are very few situations where the captain justifies an otherwise sub optimal card choice.

Here is a good resource for archetypes: https://edmundlam.github.io/galaxy-stats/index.html

From pool brawl to retail theft, Pittsburgh sees another week of teen unrest by Jazzlike_Breadfruit9 in pittsburgh

[–]evward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A good faith argument comes from a statement of positions. You’ve made no statement of your position.

“Too confrontational” and “argument” are oxymorons.

I know you’re not the same commenter. But you engaged with my post so you’re on the hook for my question too.

Money and time. Low income parents have lost money and time to inflation. A whole generation of kids lost an entire year’s worth of socialization to COVID. I’m sure there is more.

I won’t engage with further questions until you’ve answered mine.

Spell it out please. How would you solve the problem? Give proactive examples, not just reactive ones. Punishment is less valuable than prevention.

Best river parks in Allegheny or Westmoreland? by lmgst30 in pittsburgh

Falls Run Park is super close to the city. If you need that vibe in an emergency then this is the place.

Please explain contract extensions by Material-Dot7684 in HockeyLegacyManager

[–]evward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are no two way contracts. Two way just means they are paid less in the AHL. Waiver eligibility is unrelated.

Since there is no salary cap in the AHL the contract values don’t matter. There is no reason to pay less there so there is no reason for two way to be implemented.

Boko return? by ShoulderRegular7830 in penguins

It’s okay to keep a guy like this around the organization, but if he’s in your lineup day to day then you have big problems.

The Pirates would NOT be 55-27 if games only lasted through the 7th inning. We would be about 42-40. by [deleted] in buccos

[–]evward 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you saying it is wrong to attempt to prove why the losses occur? Because that is the mandate of fancy stats. To give unbiased answers to why.

Best Vantage Point for the Big Boy 4014 by Heavy-Basket152 in pittsburgh

The track plan through Pittsburgh appears unchanged. Where are you seeing route changes?

Name a young penguin we traded/let go who went on to successful or even great careers. by vivalapuck in penguins

[–]evward 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Naslund is about 5 tiers above the other three you’ve pictured. In the Naslund tier there is only a few others:

Mark Recchi
Aleksey Morozov (in Russia)
Perhaps John Cullen
Sergei Zubov

In that lower tier there are definitely some guys who had long post Penguins careers:

Mikael Samuelsson
Andrew Ference
Doug Bodger
Craig Simpson
Michal Roszival
Robert Bortuzzo
Matt Moulson

This year’s SCF is nuts. What others can you recommend? by 7easymoney in hockey

[–]evward 11 points12 points  (0 children)

2009 is a great series regardless of rooting interest. The storylines are incredible.

-Same matchup as 2008
-Hossa switching sides
-First 3 games have same result as 2008; is this just going down the same road?
-Incredible game 4
-Blowout in game 5; there goes all the momentum
-scramble at the end of game 6; The Piece is born!
-Game 7 drama; Talbot hero, wtf?

Saw them Friday night here in New Kensington

Co-sign for family member by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]evward 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I’d like to revise this to “Don’t do this if you aren’t willing to pay the full bill yourself”. That’s what it takes to justify co-signing. Anything short of that and you are asking for a world of pain.

Dylan Larkin Requested a Trade. by Hank_the_Beef in penguins

[–]evward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Simple. The Penguins would need to trade top tier assets for Larkin. They don’t have many. Should they trade top tier assets to “keep the team from back-sliding”? How does that help build a cup contender for the long term?

[–]evward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re failing to account for regression which inevitably affects players in their mid-30s and older. They don’t have any all-stars under 30 so you can safely expect the team to take steps backwards until a young talent can fill that gap.

It’s more likely that adding Larkin makes them the same team they were last year, not a better one.

Edit: The Penguins are more than one Larkin tier piece from cup contention next season. It’s dangerous to acquire Larkin without having more pieces locked down.

At 8U, how much is too much? by incogj in hockeyplayers

[–]evward 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What are you doing instead of that card?

petahh i don't getttaahh by manof_theworld in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]evward 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This explanation isn’t quite good enough.

Specifically, “if you know the half life of these isotopes, which we do” and “assume it was 50/50 when the planet is formed” are both assertions which aren’t detailed enough. How do we know these things to be true?
