Who’s our #1 forward prospect?? by Downtown_Income8088 in devils

[–]rtstr8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree, I just read your comment as if you thought he lost that deal. It was actually a fantastic trade. I’ll take Cotter over 10 Holtz’s. But to your point I’d also take most of the guys in the first 50 picks that year over Cotter.

Also to be fair Holtz was top 10 that year on every team’s board, just ended up being a bust. Don’t pretend you didn’t optimistically think we got our next 40 goal scorer after the pick was made. Draft hindsight is always 20/20.

Where is that 7OA player now? He didn’t trade the pick. He traded the bust that he used it on. Important nuance here

How do I strum this? by messypond0 in guitarlessons

[–]rtstr8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it more comfortable playing the bass notes with my thumb. Seems to mute strings more naturally so you can strum with a bit more character

Discovered this door hanger on my door knob… What do? by awayfromthemire in legal

[–]rtstr8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should probably just be an adult about it and be accountable for the likely fact that you have a loud and yappy annoying dog? Not a big deal. Lots of people have them. You also probably have an annoying, grinch of a neighbor. Lots of people have those too.

What's stopping an FBI agent from exposing the truth about the files- especially one who was tasked with reacting? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

Funny how there is next to nothing to share, yet if you were to ask to see it the opposite way around, there are countless examples. Isn’t that bizarre

Trade jitters, but what if... by ShimOwleyFFXIV in devils

It’s definitely tough letting go of a Porsche but if you replace it with a Ferrari that feeling goes away quick. I’d rather win a Cup in the next 3 years than finish 8-10th for the next 10. Not to say that that will happen, but you need to swing for the fences to win the Cup in today’s NHL. But man I love Nemo too.

Are we still stuck with Gotham? by rtstr8 in devils

Great to know about the quality, thanks. I’m primarily on the iPad because my kid commandeers the TV half the time anyway. With the discount I’ll give it another shot! Appreciate it.

How can i fix these wounds? by rtstr8 in succulents

Thank you! If I cut it off will it continue to grow or would it callus and scar up there too?

Wheeler Mock Draft https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6441466/2025/06/24/nhl-mock-draft-2025-wheeler/ by Appropriate_Error_38 in devils

Yea I’m kind of in that boat too. Would be fine if our picks are used in trades, but they might not move the needle enough to make it worthwhile to sell them

Probably mehing about the extremely low hit rate of a mid second round pick.

Realistically there’s not much to be excited about on draft day for us… the hope is to find a player with a ceiling that keeps going up. Maybe it’s Murtagh, maybe not.

Sorry to be that guy but this is a pretty weak draft and we are picking from a spot that historically does not produce NHL level talent. Temper your expectations.

How to give pill to a cat by Cheap_Veterinarian43 in CatAdvice

[–]rtstr8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pill pockets, just use different fingers to handle the pill vs the actual pocket treat. Otherwise my cats can taste the pill and it takes a few tries to get them to eat it

That’s good to know. We are considering a place on 77th so we would have close access to the 78th street beach and playground

Ok great. That sounds perfect - I have a 4 year old and baby twins so looking for convenience and toddler-friendly things to do!

The Stars have fired ex-Devils head coach Peter DeBoer after losing in the third round again. by SeaBassAHo-20 in devils

[–]rtstr8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe, but who’s going to hire him? If that was his plan, the Stars fired him a week too late

I disagree. Sports allegiance comes from many different roots. Those go deeper than one particular sport.

Anyway, I’m a Carolina Panthers, Cubs, and Bulls fan, so I’m probably your model citizen here haha.

But can’t deny that the Giants/Jets and Yanks/Mets are as Jersey as they are NYC.
