Why is it a bad look for someone on live TV to not want a loud alarm going off on someone's cell phone?
Also, I wonder if that's the same emergency Amber alert I got blaring on my phone late last night. For something that happened 2000 kilometers away. They need to figure that shit out.
I just saw an article about the Oilers putting too high a price on Puljujarvi so he's unlikely to be moved (which makes sense, I'm sure the Oilers probably aren't 100% sure they want to move him at this point) and it made me realize I have no idea what to expect from Jesse now. He could turn out to be a really good second line winger whose offense doesn't fully materialize in the NHL or he could be a fringe guy who's in Europe in 6 years.
Not sure "bad look" is the term I'd use, but these guys are influential and it was a dismissive gesture when thousands of people are watching. AMBER alerts matter, but the attitude around them can be incredibly short-sighted.
Dismissive gesture? How is that different than "bad look"?
Regardless he's hosting a live tv show. He didn't want someone's phone blaring a loud siren that ignores whether your phone is muted or has alerts disabled. His 'attitude' and comment were perfectly fine.
Fair enough.
In unrelated news, Metro Exodus is pretty damn good so far. The first hour is pretty rough with constantly interrupting you for another short cutscene though. And ugh silent protagonists are so dated now.
Who do Sens fans want for Stone? I'm curious if the fan base as a whole is looking for picks and young prospects or if they want nhl roster ready guys right now.
Naturally, I consider Cakey the sole voice for the entire fan base.
What I want and what I think we will get is entirely different things.
What I consider a good return for a signed Stone would be:
Vesalainen or Roslovic
Niku
2nd round pick (turns into 1st if you reach finals)
some cap dump
What I think Dorion will get:
Logan Stanley
Samberg
Nic Petan
2020 2nd round pick.
2021 3rd round pick.
What I want for Stone?
Well in a perfect world, give me a signed Stone because no return from the jets is going to develop a player as good as Stone is now, or have as much of an impact in both zones as he does. Plus he's only 26 years old.
Why so obtuse? This is weird. Dismissive gesture is a literal description of what he did. My point is to highlight why his action matters, not treat him as having committed some serious faux pas ("bad look"). I'm not interested in condemning him.
And I didn't comment on his attitude. I commented on the attitude around AMBER alerts generally. His action made perfect sense in context but it can exacerbate an existing issue.
I'll bet fringe guy.
It was a red flag when he wasn't picked 3rd at the draft. How everybody in the league ranked him so high is a mystery to me. At least Columbus was smart enough to pass on him.
The chance to play with McDavid was a huge opportunity, but he just looks awkward out there and hasn't adapted to the NHL at all.
Barrie has been better than Girard and Johnson this year. Girard has lost us games coughing up the puck countless times.
Petey still shooting above 24%.... but we all know he'll sustain that forever.
So many Stone to Jets articles all over I assume it won't happen. It's 90% writers just assuming the fit is "perfect" I'm starting to think.
I am shocked at the number of fans who say no deal if it involves Niku, even accepting that every fan base grossly overrates their teams prospects. I love the guy but he's a 7th rounder who Maurice doesn't fully trust for some reason, I'd make him the center piece in basically any deal without hesitation. I draw the line at Roslovic though.

For maximum Beard related giggles I'd vote Boston now. But I bet Dorion and/or Melnyk wouldn't trade in division.
A Stones a Stone but a Roslovic could be anything.
It could even be a Stone!
Those always look horrible though
It happened recently enough with Nash and Nash. Rick and Riley IIRC.
-Yotes acquire Stone
-Claw their way into the wildcard
-Upset the Jets in Round 1
-Sweep the Preds in Round 2
-Lose gracefully against San Jose in the WCF
-More then ten people start going to Yotes games
-Bettman: *laughs*
So long as the cursed entity that is Matt Duchene doesn't come our way, I'm fine with whoever we get from Ottawa.
Kind of a weird wrinkle for EDM here is that Stolarz would normally become a RFA at the end of the season, but because he has not played in enough NHL games, he may end up as a Group VI UFA instead
to prevent him from becoming a UFA, he needs to play 30 mins or more in at least 10 games the rest of the season
