That's actually a great thing. He needs to play some games out of the spotlight and find his footing again.
Lines today in practice....
Pacioretty-Desharnais-Weise
Eller-Galchenyuk-Andrighetto
Fleischmann-Plekanec-Byron
DSP-Flynn-Thomas
Pleks goes from the first line at a PPG pace to the third line. Hilarious.
Also Bournival is on waivers today, wouldn't be surprised to see him claimed, he's a great player.

Need to get a new vehicle. Cost of repairs on my current car are more than what the car is worth.
Lease or buy? Currently a college student with low income. Between fiancee and myself, we can squeeze out about $400 more total, between the actual payments and presumed insurance hike.
Talked to a family friend who owns a car dealership and he heavily pushed me toward leasing. It sounds good but I'm apprehensive about pretty much anything related to this.

ffs. One goal and here we are
Sparks is in for a tough one tonight. The fake jets have given the leafs a hard time these last few years. Idk if it is Paul Maurice being a dickwad or what.
Depends where you live. Around my place, you can buy a car with 0% interest on a 5year term.. better to buy than to lease if you can get that
since you're on a limited budget.. you couldget possibly get 0.9% on a 6year term.. that could decrease the payments by 20-30 bucks a month.. and atleast you'd be able to sell the car afterward for a few Ks, which really helps to get a bigger/better car on your next deal... or keep the car for another 3-4 years to save money.
I'm really not a fan of leasing.. paying for something that's not yours really sucks..

Is your situation going to improve in the near future? Might be worth looking at taking over someones lease. Can cut some of the term out that way, anyways.

Wait wait wait
Doesn't this mean waivers?
Button and Ferreroroche were 2000% sure he'd get claimed.
If Deadmonton 1st overall picks couldn't handle Sparks, what chance do the Jets have?
Yeah, Jets are going to be an actual test for him. I don't expect anything spectacular. All we can really hope for is stability while the defence does their job.
Yep. Bernier's confidence is probably shot. Winless in all of his games and we're already in December. Not a great look for him.
According to Jonas Siegel, Bernier's starting four of the six games during his conditioning stint.
I'm also looking for a new car. I'm set on buying, since I'm also pretty apprehensive about leasing. I'd like full ownership of my car, but I'm certainly looking at all options available.

Depends on the deals really. Do you see yourself making more money in 3 years?
Can you lease a car with $0 down completely and a low payment like $150/month? Does it fit in milage wise? (usually 10k/12k miles a year limit).
Buying with not a lot down will jack up that monthly payment.
Sabres-GAF. What are you thinking about the team so far? Ennis and Moulson have seemed really quiet so far this year.
There is no going through waivers in conditioning stints. Frankie Corrado didn't have to go through waivers for his stint with the marlies several weeks back either

Bernier and Babcock was the one who talked to him about it, and he agreed. Good on him, really.
he agreed. so there's no waiver.

End of year specials are actually pretty good on remaining previous model year vehicles.
Depending on what you're looking at, but I believe Volkswagen is throwing incentives to keep people coming to dealerships after their diesel emissions controversy. Honda just released the new Civic, which will mean additional incentives on remaining 2015s. But insurance rates on Civics D:
I like that the Focus is cheap and looks nice. I'm also looking into Hyundai.
Ford has really come a long way.. I'd say 10-12 years ago, they were trash.. but today they make good reliable cars that are cheap and good on gas.. can't complain..

I have a 2011 mazda 3. Its boring as fuck, but its paid off and shouldnt have any issues for a long time
Like Quick and Bones said, writing down clear instructions is also very good. It gives them something they can refer back to if they need it. When my manager went on mat leave, I took over some of the reporting she did. She wrote me up clear instructions and then walked me through how to do it with me doing the work. I was able to do it on my own when I needed to.
You may also want to give them a task that's a bit repetitive. For example, I had a monthly report to do where I needed daily numbers to do it. I usually pulled the numbers daily but had been so swamped I got behind. I showed them how to pull the numbers for me which helped teach them how to use our reporting system and also freed me up to do other things.
I strongly feel that you learn best by doing so make sure that you get them to do the work you are showing them.

See that was what I was thinking too, was that owning is better than basically renting. But the way this guy was talking to me was that with how much the car already depreciates just driving off a lot, leasing is a better option in the short term. Which is basically what I would be looking at. I need something solid for 3-4 years until I get my financial footing under me after graduation.
Money wise, I'm in a bad spot now but I graduate a year from now and while I obviously can't depend/count on getting a good job after graduation, I have a rough idea that my current income will almost quadruple in that time frame. (8-10k a year to ~35k or so). That would make the lease option more appealing, I think.
The issue I see is this, talking to the dealership friend. I can lease a new vehicle with a total cost of insurance + monthly payment for $457 a month. All I am responsible for beyond that are oil changes and basic things like that.
To buy a vehicle in the same price range, I'm looking at a 5+ year old model, with 50,000+ miles on it, and I am not covered under any type of warranty and am responsible for anything that pops up. With this plan I save a grand total of $13 a month.
I'm heavily leaning toward a lease at this point. But I really need to sit down and talk to my fiancee to see what we want to do and I want to hear from my parents for their opinions.
that's what my mom has, and what i'll probably end up buying in the end!
Not having an AC in my car is really the worst, I can't take it much longer

Why are they playing at this time of day on a Wednesday? Weird.Holey chit
Also it's up to 11 now, but yeesh. Guelph is bad.
Holey chit
The guelph storm are so laughably bad this year. Really young team without Dickinson and Fabbri.
My first car was a Cavalier, I fucking loved that car, never had any issues with it. I sold it when I went to University, biggest regret of my life.
I'm the same way, it's a good idea to just have him shadow me for a week or so and get an idea of the routine I go through and the daily processes. I'll be writing everything down and try and make it as clear as possible.

Thomas Vanek has 19 points in 22 games and is left off of the all star ballot. The following players have less points in more games and are still on the all star ballot:
Mike Fisher (7 in 24)
Hossa (6 in 22)
Backes (13 in 25)
Ladd (16 in 25)
Iginla (16 in 25)
ITS A CONSPIRACY
Also holy shit Matt Duchene has 23 points already this year? I thought he got off to a horrendous start?

Oh yes, Mazda is also on my list.
I can get a good deal on a Mazda. The new Mazda 3 is nice.
Oh thats why Leafs lunch hasn't taken random pot shots at Vanek recently
I have a 2009 Mazda 3, never had any issues.

It's such a change over 2013-14, the OHL championship year. I saw a bunch of those playoff games and they really took a hit when guys like Bertuzzi and Dickinson moved on.

Speaking of Fisher, he didn't skate at practice today. Oh boy.

Imagine if Bernier tanks with the Marlies. I kind of don't want that to happen because it would crater his trade value... But I kind of do.
My necessity for a car came in recently when, like Fubar, repairs and additional cost for things just aren't worth it on my old-ass car.
I looked into my finances and I can certainly afford the average monthly payments I've seen so far plus insurance, but the length of the term is making me really have to take a step back and assess everything again.

This part sucks ass. My car is worth like $1000 in pristine condition. Which it kinda sorta isn't.
But in the last month I put in almost $600 and at the shop today they say in the next month in order to keep car safe and road worthy I need to put in another $700. Eff that.
72-84 months sounds super fucking scary, I can't plan for that long, that's insane
You're around 22 right? As long as you don't get any tickets in the next 3 years, it will go down significantly once you hit 25.
Yea I know, still really sucks how high it is right now
Being an Ontario driver sucks in general for insurance, Quebec is much cheaper.
FUBA, don't lease. I have a brother that just finished leasing a Civic for a year and he came away feeling like he just wasted $3000 and that it went no where.

That's an issue, yeah. It's part of the reason I'm apprehensive about it, but everything else about it seems pretty good.
When I talked to the dealership they say that leasing ends in one of three ways. A) you walk away with no commitment to future. What your brother did. B) Buy the vehicle, subtracting leasing payments from the total cost of the vehicle. C) Make a new lease on a new vehicle. Any surplus in miles not used from my leasing contract creates a discount on new lease.
Of those three, unless I have issues with the vehicle, I would imagine that I go toward #2. Which sounds like a great option to me.
My issue is that I need a vehicle right now. And based on my income and lack of saved money (almost all my savings goes into my tuition), my options are severely limited.
But all of this is pointless before I talk to my fiancee. She's the one paying for 90% of the cost anyway.
