Every single professional athlete is somewhere on the moron to outright criminal spectrum and it amazes me that people don’t immediately assume anyone paid to play sports is a complete creep

DOOMocrat posted:Stars lineup from practice: That's a sexy lineup. As you mentioned above, that 3rd line is a 4th line. I'd like to see Johns (or loving anyone) above oleksiak but sheltered minutes will be good for him. Not 100 percent on what a gemel is or why this lethonen guy has a job (ditto oleksiak) but beyond that I'm loving hyped for this lineup. Just hope hitch doesn't try to use this team as a defensive, grindy snoozfest. E: shiiiit, I forgot like the best part. LOOK AT THIS FIRST UNIT PP AND WEEEEEEEEEEP Benn Seguin Radulov Spezza Klingberg

Nathan Walker looked awesome in preseason. Good on ya, mate! Most likely Tyler “Graovac” Graovac will sit even though he’s better than DSP (who had a pretty bad turnover last night). https://t.co/qkpHTmq2lJ

a false posted:i'm not impressed with that supposedly good stars lineup ya i realized after i praised it that i was really just reacting to seeing radulov in the first line, hamhuis in the 3rd d-pairing, and bishop in net it's not a perfect roster by any means, but barring any major injuries the stars should have a pretty solid bounceback season after last year imo edit: in the spirit of posting passing reactions without thinking them through too hard, are the stars the only team that's had a good amount of success in the past few years that actually got better over the offseason? PIT and WSH definitely got worse (though should both still be good). AFAIK a lot of other good teams were flat-to-slightly-down in terms of roster quality vs. last year -- NSH, ANA, SJS, STL, NYR... e2: and i guess newer "good" teams like EDM and TOR are probably better off just by having their young talent continue to develop, but not necessarily better off in terms of changes to their roster over the offseason Sharks Eat Bear fucked around with this message at 21:14 on Oct 6, 2017 |

Couldn't the Leafs just claim Pickard when they sent him down the first time or is he waiver exempt? Or did they not want him with the big club?

Or did they not want him with the big club? if they claimed him when he was first waived, they wouldnt have been able to assign him to the ahl without also waiving him. plus this was its neutral for their 50 contract limit

If I remember correctly, Vegas had already put him on waivers and he cleared. So Toronto doesn't have to waive him anymore to have him stay in the AHL. Seems like they wanted him but they didn't want to have to risk losing him to waivers themselves. As for Vegas, they got Subban off waivers and they turned a guy they got for free into a draft pick and a warm body, so that seems fine.
