Sure but do you reach for an LHD if there isn't a suitable one available? I'd say in the NHL it's take the best player available, always. You don't really know what your lineup is going to look like in 2-5 years when that player is ready to step in so reaching for a current positional need is almost never a good plan. If there is a top LHD available at 13 then sure take him, but don't plan to take the best available LHD because then you could potentially be missing out on other great players.

First it was the Kims and now you're a Mussolini sympathizer? Who's next Pol Pot?

Oh yeah the build has been terrible but I love a good Shinsuke match. For all Ziggler's flaws he's still pretty good in the ring so I am expecting a very good match between them at Backlash.

Well they would probably want two backups and a developmental guy. So that's 7 bodies competing for 5 spots. Seems reasonable to me. I'm not sure the ratio comes into it at this point... there's no ratio in TC/pre-season.

I think they're planning on starting two Canadian receivers so I guess that's why they seem to be stockpiling them.

Well I'd have to agree with them on that.

Yeah but think about how many terrorist attacks that didn't occur because everyone had guns

I'm guessing that in the event Loffler goes down, D. Jones will get a shot and if he can't cut it or gets injured they will move an American (Leggett?) to safety and start a Canadian elsewhere. Conteh and Branning will be strictly developmental and/or special teams.

I have to admit they've turned something ridiculous into something that's actually kinda funny. It helps that they are both legitimately good wrestlers too.

What a body!

Smackdown has gone way downhill. I guess they are building towards something better but right now the feuds are just weak. They have trouble even filling 2 hours. The main event between Orton and Wolf-shirt had me falling asleep.

I love Nashville's goalie chant! How is it not creative? I haven't heard that anywhere else. Seems like a fantastic environment to watch a game in.

And no incidents all year! Score one for guns

Not true, the people compiling the stats are not the same ones analyzing them

I hadn't checked that site in at least a couple years. Didn't realize gbill is still out there doing the gbill thing. Bizarre is right!

**** off nerd

Kassian is lovable? What planet do you live on?

I don't think they are, but they're probably close. Get rid of Grilli and Bautista and they would be right in the middle in terms of average age. They also have some good young players. I don't dispute that they need change but I just don't see the need for a total tear-down. Like I said earlier tear-downs are overrated. For every team that you can say did a tear-down to eventually win the World Series I can show you ten teams that didn't have to.

I don't see the Blue Jays currently being in a comparable situation to the one you describe

Also nothing stopping us from cutting Watt after TC and picking up one of these awesome Canadian players that other teams are cutting for some reason

Why do you hate Spencer Watt so much? I find him electrifying

He bounced back and forth between ECHL and AHL for 3 years before coming to the Jets organization then he went from ECHL to AHL to starting games with the Jets in his first year with us.

Cubs never tore anything meaningful down. They were horrible, then they hired Theo Epstein who made a series of excellent draft picks and signings. There was no tear down involved.

Tear-downs are overrated. I don't see the need in baseball for a tear-down. You can build without blowing up your team.
