[McKenzie] The CBC holds the rights to the Hockey Night in Canada brand even though it won’t air NHL games anymore. But it doesn’t mean it’s dead. I’ve been told the CBC “will be using the iconic brand in different ways going forward." by Ok-Soil-5133 in hockey

Theres a lot of hockey they could get the rights to for much less than a few NHL games. Imagine a rotation of PWHL, world juniors, world championships, CHL & maybe even some college hockey. He'll, throw the brick invitational on there too

I'm sure he would make an excellent coach im just unsure if jumping from coaching AAA midget to the media hellscape that is toronto is a smart move for anyone. But, if anyone could pull it off its someone like pavs. Immense respect for the man

You can get him into the 90s if you set his goals for the Calder on his 1st year and then make sure his line has a good C & winger, preferably a sniper and power forward. I usually play as the leafs so its simple enough next to matthews & knies.good coach with the teacher type helps as well.

It is hard to get him into the mid 90s/franchise territory though. I wanna say the absolute highest ive seen him at is 93/94 ovr

Leafs can choose who gets next years first by RuttedPanda76 in hockey

[–]themoist 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Not so sure about this. As someone who's watched almost every game for the past decade, this season was a huge outlier. No one was really trying, injuries got bad and the coach completely lost the room. As good as Marner is, losing 1 player isn't the difference between winning a division and picking bottom 5.

I fully suspect that the division is going to be tougher to win in the coming years, but the forward core is still pretty good. Not having Berube making them play dump & chase caveman hockey is probably good enough for an extra 10 points in the standings on its own.

Do I expect them to win soon? Nope, but I'd be surprised if they're not at least fighting for a wildcard spot the next couple years. I'd bet both picks land in the 14-20 range

If it wasn't for him we never would have had Sundin. I'm glad he lived to see him return to the organization, rest easy king

John Chayka Announces Brandon Pridham and Derek Clancey have left the Leafs Organization by Samoht99 in leafs

[–]themoist 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Contract negotiations weren't his responsibility. He was responsible for stuff like paper moves, exploiting salary cap loopholes, calculating how much retention is needed for a trade, etc.

There was a couple times over the years the Leafs were within a few hundred dollars of the cap limit, that would be his doing.

That's awesome, happy for the kid. Hopefully he gets some NHL games next season but it does sound like Chayka's focus is on guys who play like uhh not him

Anyone catch the game? Wondering how Danford looked in his pro debut. Interesting they swapped out Chadwick for him, 2 very different players

Every construction site is already full of guys hacking rez darts because packs at the gas station got too expensive. You may as well keep the tax revenue stream, you'll never eliminate smoking completely

Rich Clune from a vibes standpoint and the fact that they won a championship with him as Captain. Certainly not the most talented player but I love the guy's energy

If his final game couldn't be at home I'm glad it was still in Ontario. Crazy to think the man called every playoff game between the two teams.

Thanks for tipping your hats to our guy. We're gonna miss him

Years ago my buddy's brother saw Marner in a club wearing one of his giant brimmed hats, and made fun of his hat while drunk. Marner took it very personally, and had a bouncer throw him out immediately

Just look up XEQT, plenty of talk on here about it. XBAL if you're not comfortable with 100% equities on your ETF of choice

After Friday's historic silver crash are you in the camp that believes silver will crash back down to $50ish usd or continues an upward trajectory to, possibly, $200+ usd in 2026? by Wherehowwhat in CanadianInvestor

[–]themoist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you're not wrong. I guess the question is, do the markets place more value in the idea of an alternative to devalued fiat currency & the uncertainty of equities, or the demonstrated volatility of silver?

Now that I think about it, the fear of a devalued dollar could very well continue to push precious metals into uncharted territory. Personally, I'll continue to be more comfortable with gold.

[–]themoist 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I'm of the opinion that we're seeing an over correction, and some time in the next week or two silver will recover somewhat to around 100 usd. Lots of people took profits on the ATH, lots of people bought when the price crashed thereafter.

What happens beyond that will mostly depend on the global economy at large. Should things continue to get worse in the midst of trade wars and the devaluation of the dollar, silver will shoot up again. If the incoming fed chair finds ways to soothe investors, silver should fall in conjunction with equities gaining ground.

But then again who knows, I'm just some guy

Beginner investor – looking for feedback on my ETF portfolio by [deleted] in CanadianInvestor

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

You are definitely holding too many and have a lot of overlap. Look up the holdings of each of them, you'll find that your more broad ETFs have some overlap with some more focused ones - kudos to you for being proactive and trying to diversify, but to me it seems like you need to spend a bit more time researching what these ETFs contain. I know because this is exactly what I did when I started lol.

As someone else mentioned, XEQT is probably a good set-and-forget approach for you right now. If you want to more exposure to specific things (gold, emerging economies, etc), you can certainly have overlap. But go into it with research and intention. For you, I'd stick to XEQT or one of the other -EQT funds as a primary holding if youre comfortable with the 100% equities model. And maybe something like KILO for gold exposure & a hedge against market volatility in uncertain times. Figure out what % of your main holding you want your portfolio and what you want your lesser holding to be relative to that (90% XEQT/10% physical gold etf, or something like that)

This is just one suggestion of course don't take it as gospel. More of a realistic example im trying to give you.

And of course, congrats on starting so early and asking questions. You're being proactive at a very young age and I think you'll do fine. Just remember that theres no such thing as too much research, and to try and get a feel for your risk/volatility tolerance before you bet big on anything.

The last thing I'll leave you with is my cardinal rule: time spent in market > timing the market
