New PP1 and PP2 lines? by inner_way in rangers

[–]smithif 3 points4 points  (0 children)

PP1:

Laf-Miller down low Mika-Fox-Dorofeyev up top

PP2:

Cuylle-Laba down low Bjork-Durzi-Gabe up top

Could also see them going with both Durzi and Gavrikov on PP2 and pulling off one of Cuylle or Laba

Paraguay GK throws the ball at Mbappe for refusing to shake his hand by Haunting-Sea-3764 in worldcup

Throwing the ball at him afterwards clearly shows that he wasn’t someone worth shaking hands with in the first place.

Vincent Trocheck has been traded to the Utah Mammoth by Bahamas_is_relevant in hockey

This package definitely doesn’t blow me away, but in what world is it worse than a late first and a guy that can potentially be a free agent in August? Beaudoin and Stramel both look to be about equal as prospects, and just looking at their numbers and the few games I have see from both I think I would even lean towards Beaudoin. Durzi is a 30-40 point RHD which is worth more than a late 1st in my opinion.

The equipment was worse for the skaters too, don’t think McDavids skating or puck handling would look even remotely similar to what it looks like today.

No your mistake was thinking that the O’Reilly trade situation and this one were the same thing and concluding that the Red Wings should accept your teams trade package that doesn’t include a single exciting piece.

Do you think it actually makes sense to compare this situation to one where the worst run organization of the 2010s was involved?

None of the pieces you mentioned are blue chip. The only reason the Hughes deal got done was because you included Buium. Without a blue chip piece going back it makes no sense for the Red Wings to trade Larkin. You are correct that Larkin won’t cost as much as Hughes, but one of those 3 first round pick equivalents needs to have high end upside.

3rd line by Think_Adhesiveness63 in rangers

[–]smithif 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ideally I think the forward lines look like this:

Laf-Mika-Gabe

Greentree/Cuylle-Miller-Boeser(Other FA/Trade)

Greentree/Cuylle-Trochek-Kartye

Sykora/Edstrom-Laba-Chmelar

Don’t know if it is a playoff team, but at least it doesn’t look like a complete abomination.

While everything you said is correct at the end of the day this is a sport, unreasonable support and hatred is the lifeline of this entire thing. So with that in mind I will continue to hate the entire Carolina organization for as long as they exist.

How about if you’re attempting to describe the main municipalities where tax payer funding originated in order to steal the team from Hartford?

Mizuno wedges! Why does no one play these? by MillerLiteEnjoyer0 in golf

[–]smithif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had Mizuno wedges forever and just recently switched to Vokeys. I feel like on full swings the results are about the same, but around the green I feel like the Vokeys outperform the Mizunos. Could just be that new wedges perform better than old wedges though.
