    Yeah, this was a grandslam for the Canes. They are doing good things

    Supposed to get Kreider for their second first rounder, but wisely declined when Newhook was still on the board. There is still some interest though so maybe something to keep an eye on. Either way, Av's are gonna be a really good team for awhile. They killed the draft, adding to an already...

    Yeah, solid return IMO. Keep in mind that pick can always be flipped for a nice rental at the TDL as well if need be. If not, next years draft is supposed to be insane. Hate to see Leafs get semi bailed out though.

    They are a desperate market who will do anything to sell tickets basically. Also, trying to sweeten the pot to get Hall to stay. Hope he leaves for the laughs.

    Any point in buying Forsaken at this point? Craving an FPS I can jump into for an hour or so and kill shit, but with the next xpac in Sep I am hesitant I would get enough value for my money. Bought the first two xpac's but got burned out by the time Forsaken came out.

    Yeah, same deal with MSG. Being able to pre game on the way to the venue with a bunch of other fans is good shit. Unfortunately ticket prices are so high (and probably even higher next year) I can only afford to see a handful of games a year.

    What determines who you face each round? Every game I play finds me fighting the same three teams pretty much the whole game. Doesn't using more than one demon give you a big debuff?

    Av's gonna be legit, they had a hell of a draft. Edmonton continue to be fucking retards. I'm obviously super stoked, but this was a boring draft trade-wise.

    Considering all the D that jumped up, seems safe to assume they knew someone else wanted Seider and they didn't wanna take the chance. I don't know much beyond what these professionals spew, but seems like a huge reach which is kinda odd for a rebuilding team. I do like Seider though, was...

    Good chance the Rangers do the same with Kreider to ARI or AVs, or Buch+ to BUF or EDM.

    Don't think they will have to trade up, at least I personally don't think it is worth it. You guys are probably getting one of the two which is awesome, I really like Zegras. Hope LA takes Knight to help ya's out.

    I finally started playing DA:O last weekend and have been thoroughly enjoying myself, but goddamn the companion AI is pretty bad. I guess I need to get really into setting up tactics but even then I find they are standing still doing nothing way too often during combat.

    Marleau making 6.25 yikes. Apparently will only go to SJ or a team willing to buy him out which I would be ok with for Kapanen. Wouldn't really matter though cause SJ still couldn't afford him. Zaitzev making 4.5 haha. I don't hate Toronto, but I love to see the newly cocky fans sweat. Funny...

    Nah, not Brooks heh. Poster on Rangers HF who knows some insiders. Grain of salt. From the outside it makes sense considering the cap and playoff passengers last year, but I know fuck all about the Caps' situation.

    Hoping we finally have a Calder candidate in Kakko. Time will tell, don't wanna get my hopes up. Best thing about him is he completely takes the pressure off of Kravtsov who I am also pretty big on.

    So after rushing Rick Nash back to play after a concussion last playoffs (leading to his early retirement), the Bruins go and lets DeBrusk play with a concussion? All jokes aside, the Bruins organization is just the fucking worst.

    First, they were already saying that last year with Vegas' success. Second, literally each Division leading team lost to a WC team. Avs over CGY in 5 was a huge upset. Blues over Jets, Stars over friggen Nashville?? And yes, Isles and Canes. No one would of guessed they would even MAKE the...

    @Merrith Not to be a dick but I didn't really read past the first paragraph. I know better than to argue with you when you get backed into a corner. You're splitting hairs to support your narrative while I am painting a clear picture with broad strokes.

    That terrible argument isn't really worth dissecting, you can do better. Regardless, would you have taken the Canes over your Caps in October? Cause that was the whole point of the post you initially tried to disagree with.

    You're nuts dude. Regardless of what you feel, these playoffs were all about the underdog and it is pretty widely accepted. Canes beating the Caps was a huge upset, you're just deflecting.
