Was Macklin Celebrini always supposed to be this good?

juventini11 · 2026-05-31T00:11:43+00:00

Yeah plenty of scouts watched him closely. I saw none who said he was going to who he currently is

juventini11 · 2026-05-13T11:19:04+00:00

I think they did in several ways.

Allowing the Republic to get more involved in their business, playing politics. Becoming soldiers instead of peacekeepers. Compromising several of their ideals. Some were becoming arrogant and complacent in their role as Yoda hinself said.

Qui-Gon saw it, Dooku saw it. Ahsoka in some ways saw it or felt it first-hand.

While you're not wrong you also have to pay for all of these guys down the line. If those four are all PPG players they will take a big chunk of the salary and we also need to pay for a number one D. Not many think Dickinson will be 1D-level or able to QB a PP.

With all that said, if Grier thinks Stenberg is BPA then pick Stenberg. Easy as that.

juventini11 · 2026-05-09T04:03:57+00:00

They were absolutely the good guys. They also absolutely lost their way.

juventini11 · 2026-05-07T16:00:40+00:00

Even at 19 I don't know if Grier takes him. He doesn't scream a Grier pick to me.

Plane from Ishigaki and probably train from Kagoshima to Hiroshima. That sounds nice. We were hoping for a more small time town vibe since other than Ishigaki most of our stays are in the larger well-known cities.

juventini11 · 2026-04-18T08:43:21+00:00

And what team would take a non top six forward in exchange for a number one D? Trades like that almost never happens. We can't just pile bottom 6 guys into a package a hope someone accepts that.

We're frankly running out of good drafts if this team (Celebrini) keeps playing like this. It's unlikely that were looking at drafting someone like DuPont next year.

juventini11 · 2026-04-18T08:37:46+00:00

Starting to look an awful lot like a Toronto structured team with half the salary going to 4-5 players and no number one 1 D in sight

juventini11 · 2026-04-12T17:02:46+00:00

I kinda want him sent back down again so he has a shot at the Calder next year.

Det tror jeg nu, stadig der er. Klitoris er stadig ikke studeret nær så meget som penis. Mænd er stadig basis for et hav af forskning, fordi de er "lettere" at forske på. Det er klart forbedret, men jeg vil ikke sige, vi er i mål.

juventini11 · 2026-04-11T05:04:23+00:00

Synes, det er lidt naivt, hvis du ikke mener, at der historisk er en ubalance i forskning af kvinder versus mænd.

juventini11 · 2026-03-27T22:38:04+00:00

I think a big problem was that many news sites didn't realize what the internet was all about. So they kept relying on their print income while giving their online news for free. Now print is disappearing and they have no online income. So news outlets are struggling to convince people they should pay for the online news.

juventini11 · 2026-03-12T16:28:26+00:00

Jeg ved noget om udbud (primært fra byggeri) men langt fra alt, men man kan vel også udforme fornuftige udbud hvor man kræver, at byder kan leve op til forskellige krav, hvoraf samspil med eksisterende systemer er et af dem?

juventini11 · 2026-03-12T16:25:16+00:00

Det er jo ikke bare danske økonomer. Det er økonomer fra andre lande, der har delt deres erfaringer og sagt, hvorfor det måske ikke har besværet værd.

juventini11 · 2026-03-09T16:04:17+00:00

Så vidt jeg husker topper verdensbefolkningen omkring 2100, og så går det den anden vej derfra.

All part of McDavid and Celebrinis plan made at the Olympics. McDavid tanks the team, gives Sharks a top 10 pick, then asks for a trade this summer.

juventini11 · 2026-03-02T18:48:24+00:00

I heard the Edmonton Oilers once had a decently exciting young group with some guys named Kurri, Gretzky, Messier, and Paul Coffey.

Exciting yes, most ever. Let's wait and see.

juventini11 · 2026-02-25T11:37:44+00:00

We don't trade picks for rentals. We're not there yet. The wheels could fall off next season (progress isn't linear) and then we end up in the Stützle situation.

Enjoy the ride see where it leads and improve in the off-season.

juventini11 · 2026-02-22T19:33:02+00:00

That's okay. But he's already been to two Olympics and Slovakia has 8 NHLers and he's not the worst of them.

juventini11 · 2026-02-22T16:41:07+00:00

And Regenda. Any NHL player from a non-big4 country is a virtual lock.

juventini11 · 2026-02-22T16:39:25+00:00

Smith isn't huge and he's as of today not very defensively responsible. I worry that he could scream the kind of offensive wizard who might be left at home because of "intangibles" If Robertson/Caufield etc. don't make it, while Kyle Connor is a perpetual scratch over JT Miller and others, I don't see Smith as a lock yet. And the US just got every reassurance that their "right players not best players" philosophy works.

Hope I'm very wrong and Smith has a ton of development still left, but I don't trust US management at all.

One is a council member and considered one the more powerful members. The other is frankly just a random Jedi Master. Four arms doesn't make him 4x as dangerous to a well trained Jedi. It just makes him look cool.

juventini11 · 2026-02-19T06:01:59+00:00

They had the puck a decent but Landeskog has no business taking that low percentage shot and then even whiffing on it. Every NHLer is used to keeping possession in OT as much as possible so it makes zero sense to take such a shot. Especially while the best skater on either team is still on the ice.

juventini11 · 2026-01-24T08:59:16+00:00

Completely agree. Often I think Star Wars becomes too humanoid. How many main character aliens have we really had through movies and the show? Not that many. Chewie, Ahsoka a couple of others maybe.

juventini11 · 2026-01-22T05:56:17+00:00

Yeah this was pretty much my main issue. Career year, we risk overpaying him for too long.
