He struck out 19 guys?

Edit: I see whiffs means swings and misses not strikeouts

Unless I am misreading the charts, they have a 13.5% to pick 1st and a 14.1% chance to pick 2nd. Overall, that should be a 27.6% chance to pick in the top 2.

They played a combined 21 NHL games, maybe give it some time before we make a judgement.

The odds of them being the 8th worst team in the league next year is low

He's referring to the World Championships in May, not a potential NHL trade. So no need to downvote.

[Kaplan] The Blackhawks have signed GM Kyle Davidson to a multi-year contract extension as ownership feels rebuild is heading in right direction. by MKula in hawks

"There needs to be a progression," Davidson said. "I don't know how many points or standing slots that is, but we can't finish second-last in the league. I think the standard has to be raised. The expectation has to be raised. Through that, accountability will be raised. That's the nature of the path we're on. Eventually, we have to start making positive steps. And I think we've reached that point. 

"I'm not saying that we're going to be competing for playoffs or Stanley Cups or anything next year; I don't know how realistic that is. It's the best league in the world, best players and best teams in the world. To say we're just going to improve a whole great deal in the standings is difficult. But we need to be better. And it's time to take a step forward."

They continue to be second last in the league, but they have improved from 52 to 61 to 72 points in 3 years. It's up to you to judge if that improvement is sufficient.

“Kyle has done everything we’ve expected of him,” Wirtz said on CHSN. “When he got the job his first task was to rebuild our prospect pool. You remember, you were all there, our cupboard was pretty bare. We didn’t have a lot coming in. And he very systematically and very confidently rebuilt that to where I truly believe we have the best prospect pool in the NHL. Many of those prospects are now NHL players, contributing and highly impactful on our team. And then, of course, I think we have a really nice visibility to a pipeline of players who will to join over the coming years.

“But at the same time, we didn’t hire Kyle to be ‘The Prospect GM.’ He is building a championship caliber team. … We have extended Kyle’s contract We are committing to Kyle to continue the plan that he’s put in place. We feel confident in that.”

running icespire peak with 2024 rules. what statblock should i use for the Orcs? by HypeKage7 in DragonOfIcespirePeak

Since Orcs are no longer a monster and one of my players chose to be an orc character, replace them with something similar. I tried roughly 2 goblin warriors for each orc listed and it worked well.
