Then every time through history has been homegrown. Teams draft guys, and then trade some of those guys, and sign a few free agents. No team is built through free agency more then just a few guys. It seems silly to me to count guys that are traded for as part of the homegrown core.
There's a difference between having a core of drafted players and then adding a piece or two through trades/free agency and just buying a team like the Rangers used to do pre-cap era.

How many free agents did those Red Wings/Rangers teams actually have?
Yeah.. I just sort of threw that out there just to show how homegrown assets can be more than getting core players. But even without those type of guys, they still had Quick, Brown, Kopitar, and Doughty for their stanley cup run.
2002 Wings had Chelios, Hasek, Shanahan, Robitaille, Hull. All HOFers, all free agents.
She's good but she's not Alyonka.

only hull and robitaille were signed as free agents (though hasek basically traded himself).
I find her voice to be a bit grating, but she's better than Cybulski or whatever his name is.
I think they have to do it in order to send him to the AHL team. Probably his home for a long time.
She's better. I can conversate with her and live my life.

WE'RE FINALLY RID OF BRIAN LEE
When did this happen?
Either way, it went in the wrong direction last night. It was nothing more than a post a hot girl gif(not that they weren't great) and very little of the usual weird shit that goes on.

She and Natasha man.
Only good basketball on a TV is NBA Jam.
It's only fair, you've ruined crayons.
It's like watching teams go back and forth on the power play. Watch a team pass it around for 20 seconds while the other team stands around playing passive defence.

Someone had to go. It was either send Schwartz, Cole or Allen down to Peoria, have someone clear waivers to Peoria (Elliott, Porter, Dags) or a trade was incoming.
We're certainly not sending Allen down, we'd just call him back up again. Schwartz is really finding his place on the team, so bad decision there as well. Cole leaves us with 6 D. Porter wouldn't clear waivers again, Dags wouldn't have either. Elliott? Eh...so much unknown there, but I don't think we're likely to see him again this year with as few games as are left and without injury to Halak or Allen. We certainly can't carry 3 goalies forever, though.
Honestly, that's some pretty low return for Dags, but water under the bridge I guess. He's a good player, he just didn't fit our system at all.

LOL I remember reading so many Sens fans thinkng we made such a huge mistake getting rid of him. We were somehow 12-0-1 with him in the lineup last year and people thought he somehow had anything to do with it.

Edler to get a phone hearing for his hit on Mike Smith.
Shaw got 3 playoff games last year for hitting Smith but Edler has no history (and he's more of a star than Shaw).

Last two minutes of a basketball game takes twenty minutes. It's unbearable.
Yep.
Still, no ties.

It looked like in slowmo on NHL tonight that he just hit the edge of the helmet and took it off. Not really his head.

Base of the forearm right to the base of the head, completely blindsided too. Looked like Nash made a terrible attempt to avoid the check but it still was dirty as fuck.
Star status engage. Can't suspend the big stars right?

He's been pretty lackluster on the ice, but I can see why guys love Armstrong he's pretty funny in the Hab clips they put up.

No suspension for Nash is immense fucking bullshit if true.
