That doesn't make any sense to me.

Why would they put regular season tickets at a price point that ends up having unsold seats?

Playoffs are a totally different creature though, they will sell out every game regardless but I have a hard time believing the make more money by over inflating the regular season games to the point where some tickets don't sell at all and make up that money and make more profit with the playoff mark up then they would if the regular season tickets were less expensive and sold.

Oh well end of the day it's a wildly expensive experience and you just hope you don't drop a bunch of coin for them to lay an egg.

My friend has no issues selling the tickets he doesn't want to go to. At least for face value and his are in greens 6 rows up.

But if he ever has sold any for under face value he'll make it back selling a Montreal, Edmonton, Vancouver, ect game.

Yeah I like him.

good 3rd pairing D on a good contract, he is better than Benoit. Has a mean streak to him.

Couple picks back in and body for Lilybust. Like it.

Now need to address forwards and get a center back there I think.

Tree has a lot of bottom pairing righties now. Benoit's the only lefty down there.

I think Benning can play both sides.

Also theres always the possibility of Hak being able to play with Mo.

McCabe-Tanev
Rielly-Hakanpaa
OEL-Benning
Benoit-Timmins

Rifai-Myers


Hats off to Tre here for rebuilding the D in a year and a half.

Ya, looks a lot better then it has in a long time.

Now to find a 3C. Probably closer to the deadline.

I hope Robertson can build up his stat line. I have liked him this season for what its worth, he has neen good despite the 1 goal.

Robertson this years 2nd plus another asset is a nice TDL package

Robertson next years 1st and another asset is a really good TDL package

We'll see. I like how Tre likely won't need to add to the D. He has 10 D you can use in NHL games.

Benning has never played the left side - at least not since 2016 with Edmonton, Nashville and San Jose.

He can be buried in the ahl

Probably could have gotten better picks closer to the deadline, but didnt have that kind of luxury. So not a bad deal.

The return will surprise some as they said lili wasnt worth anything

In the obvious category - I would have preferred a 2nd over a 3rd and 6th, but in theory you can use those to trade into the 2nd round on draft day if you want.

Benning is better than Myers and probably also Benoit. I think Myers is still the odd man out on D. Activate Hakanpaa and go on with 8D, 2G, and 13F - meaning one forward has to be demoted. Since Dewar is a checking guy, who does he replace? Holmberg or Reaves? Or is this the end of the line for Robertson after he failed to impress in the regular season?

I feel it's going to be Holmberg - and I'm going to say that if he gets claimed, I don't think we'll miss him much at all - but it should be Reaves.

I've left instructions for my wife to use my logins and announce my death in the various forums I frequent, so I won't vanish one day with no explanation. Not that I'm important or even liked much, but it's a weird existential thing I am doing.

I was just typing the exact same thing.

After my heart attack in 2023, and the death of the wife of a very close friend, I made list of all of my/our accounts and passwords for my wife. I also left her instructions to post a message here if anything were to happen again.

The one I have not been able to do so far is leave a letter for my son. It crushes me whenever I try to start to write one.

I get that last part. I left letters to all my loved ones and the one to my wife and grandson were the hardest to write. It's a weeeeeird feeling to sit down and write your own epilogue, knowing they'll only see it when you're gone.

I'm a mixed bag of health issues and a walking heart attack or stroke waiting to happen. Probably riddled with early cancer also. I'll never know because it's America and I'm not a gazillionaire who can afford proper healthcare.

Another Dubas midget that was never an NHL quality player. He's a perimeter player at best, who was terrified out on the ice. Too bad that they wasted a first on him, but Dubas loved his analytics. Pittsburgh has this turd now, so it's all good. Liljegren should be able to play on a rebuilding team but will end up a journeyman kicking around the perimeters of the league.

The Canadian healthcare system is far from perfect and inadequate at times, but the American system is a failure for more people.
