Sergachev had played all of 4 NHL games at that point. I’m pretty sure that if Chiarelli had wanted to trade Hall for a prospect, he could have gotten someone with a higher ceiling than Larsson too.

Players like Yandle and Karlsson having been traded in their careers is virtually meaningless here precisely because of the realities of the situation in Edmonton. Both guys were traded as pending UFAs, deals that would be terrible for a GM of a young team to make unless he could sign them long term which as we all…

No, I’d never say that the job Chiarelli did was actually good. At best what I’d say is that the things that make building teams hard(the uncertainty of the draft, the inefficiency of the UFA market, the dead trade market) are even trickier in Edmonton and that a lot of the problems were already there when he got…

Sure, but how many instances are there where there’s a team like Nashville that already has Josi and Weber(and Ellis and Ekholm) on defense and so a prospect like Jones’ path to top pairing minutes are effectively blocked? Or a Centre prospect like Johansen who had both the scoring touch and size that GMs touch…

I think Chiarelli’s tenure looks worse than it maybe should because he was brought in to a situation that was already a shit show and had to scramble in ways that I don’t think anyone’s quite worked out(for all the “Hall for Larsson sucks” stuff, you still find people saying that teams should be easily able to flip…

It seems you have written “if” where you meant “when” friend. 

But they still admit to being U2 fans? 

I’d really like to weigh in here Lauren but unfortunately Blue Jays fans have signed legally binding agreements that the team’s uniforms between 1996 and 2012 didn’t happen.

Relief Pitcher isn’t a position. 

I’d like to be “Why not both?” but as we can see with things like Scott Rolen vs. Vizquel or Harold Baines vs. Lou Whittaker it’s clear that some wrongs just stay wrong.

I will never get Martinez over Walker but it's still a good call and well deserved even if he was a filthy DH

Alright son. This sounds like a spot of bother for Spurs, it does. Anyone finking they’ve got a shot a Europe is a bleedin’ muppet.

I think the persecution of teens like this is really getting out of hand. Between the Covington students and this it’s starting to look like the only place for teenagers to be racist is every single comment section on the internet, the entirety of social media and whenever you play any video game online. 

Yeah. It’s clear that he just thinks of being a “mogul” as someone with a lot of money and he wants to be seen as someone like that. He clearly thought that his name alone would lend something to the festival because clearly he didn’t have the money to actually fund any of it himself. 

Admittedly, Rivera’s WAR wouldn’t be very good for a HOF starting pitcher but it’s not like it’s terrible for a HOF candidate. He’s only 9 behind Halladay despite pitching less than half as many innings and ahead of someone like Koufax. 

Maybe but you should still believe in your dreams. 

If you think about it, I’m the real racist. 

It definitely seems as though if there’s one thing that all white Americans can agree on it’s that Martin Luther King said some vaguely inspirational things that weren’t critical of anyone.

You know, almost 50 fucking people have said the exact same thing and it’s all hilariously stupid. Trump won because he got Republicans to vote for him. Do you really think Facebook memes is how racist old Grandpa got racist old Grandpas in the Republican camp?

You think SNL has had 3 fucked up cast members in 40 years?
