"If you were looking for some nuance to the Blackrock story then this thread is a good source. Over the last day or so I've seen some threads about commercial investors driving up housing prices with references to Blackrock Inc. and others buying up entire neighborhoods and then turning all the houses into rental homes.

"@Gordo_FlyersRok At an NHL level No. But he may be a decent shutdown third pair guy. Which you take that late in the draft. Plus the skating coming around would boost the ceiling significantly. Still I think Carter Sotheran is enough to make up for that. Top-4 upside and the exciting kind"

"The defenseman was on his ass and he somehow gets himself enough space to throw a perfect pass to the defenseman on the other side of the ice. Bonus points for giving him a lane to skate downhill"

"It's so funny that Michkov is the one connected to Ovechkin because Gauthier is stylistically Ovechkin's respawn lmfao"

"Rendulic has been pretty good for Sochi but I'm very much looking forward to Michkov playing with Khusnutdinov. Pretty sure they played together in international tournaments"

"The AHL is good for top prospects to get some development in before going to the NHL. It's good for guys who simply aren't NHL players to keep playing pro hockey. This isn't a "Derek shits on the AHL take" This is a recognition of reality: for some players it IS punishment"

"Send Cam York to the AHL for two months and do a whole diatribe on all the ways he's inadequate Awesome. Totally cool. The apex of development. Excoriate Joel Farabee publicly on a bi-weekly basis Totally rad. Sit Marc Staal on an opening game THAT'S HUMILIATING"

"The guy who openly called his team untalented and total ass after getting shut out by the Hurricanes absolutely refuses to humiliate anybody"

"@SammmyStern You'll enjoy the game. Despite that tweet it's the cinematic qualities and storytelling that has really given it the reputation it has. That's the X-factor here. And it's awesome. But the gameplay does hold up. It isn't overly simplistic nor. whatever that was"

"@SammmyStern The new Spiderman games are honestly a good comp. The writing and storytelling are doing a lot of heavy lifting but the gameplay more than holds up on its own"

"@Ywolok The problem is that he won't help the team compete and will play in the lineup instead of kids. "Won't play 100% of games" is so weasel statement. He'll play [--] at least. And the kids will get to fight for [--] games between them. Just like Zamula last year played [--] games"

"@Ywolok I mean the Florida Panthers have the most injured defense core in the league and they didn't even want Staal back. For [--] million But he played for them last year As if that's an accomplishment. Him playing for them last year warranted them saying "Man. He's cooked.""
