Here come the excuses: RT @scottmerkin: Hahn on FA pursuit: "There's only so much we can control in the end. Ultimately, free-agent players have earned the right through hard work and longevity in their career to choose their ultimate destination. And sometimes factors beyond money factor into these things."

He will have to be much better than Karlsson defensively though, because again, playing actual defense is an issue and an issue for the foreseeable future.

For my money it's Chicago, Seattle and Boston, so I agree.

NYC is awful.

I went to LA in 2012. I was there for a Monday through Friday. I didn't see a cloud once, and the traffic wasn't as bad as I had heard. I have no issues with LA.

Drafting Hughes and signing Panarin would be awesome, but unfortunately their defense is so atrocious that I think they should take the Panarin deal and pay a defenseman unless they think Boqvist is the real deal.

You've never been to Milwaukee, St. Louis, Detroit or Cleveland, huh?

Flyers 27 points Blues 26 points Devils 26 points Kings 24 points Blackhawks 23 points Yikes

You tell us

Arenado isn't worth 10 years $280M+

Christ, you all thought I was serious? Between all of this shit and Peavy44's nonsense, I just had to be an asshole. I mean, why don't we all just stop trusting our aunt's cousin's friend's dead grandpa and let it play out. Unless Kurkjian, Olney, etc say it, it isn't done. What's next, an update on where Harper took a piss?

Not to be that guy so when I say take it FWIW, I mean TAKE IT FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH, but my coworker's sister works for the Sox and said that the Sox have told their office people to contact all of the Chicago teams to get jerseys ready for Harper and Machado and they were evidently all asked to take small pay cuts to make these moves...yes, MOVES... easier.

Their biggest weakness going into the offseason was their OL and they did next to nothing to address it. They also replaced a decent QB with an even higher priced decent QB. Oh well

that's*

Or Minnesota has to lose one of their final 3

Forgot about Arians. Good call.

Similar, yes, but Zimmer was 58 and Fangio is already 60. Obviously Carroll also but that's different circumstances since he CRUSHED it in college.

I can't see Fangio leaving. I can't remember the last time an old, defensive mind became a HC, unless I'm forgetting someone. The trend is young, offensive guys.

As much as I and the entire city hated Phil Emery, he did give the Bears Fuller and Leno.

I was going to say the same thing... They lost on the road to Miami by 3 points (a playoff team, perhaps) and by 3 on the road with a back-up QB to a 5 win team. They didn't look like "absolute horseshit" in either game.

"The Bears suck until they don't" slowly turned into "The Bears suck unless they win the Super Bowl." Stay hot, pal.

Quenneville, you mean?

Y is dat moron football player holding out for more money u already make millions dummy!!!!1! This is exhibit A why guaranteed money is so important. Smith got 70+ million.
