All discussion of summer season stuff here. Signings, free agent losses, draft. 

So where do we go? Who do we cut bait with? More importantly, what do we get back? Are we in full tank mode now, is there anything salvageable, if so, what?

to be honest I actually do expect it

and I do not like being right

As per the Freep:  This was the first draft year since 2012 that the Jets did not draft any Europeans.

Goalie Milic is from Coquitlam in case you were wondering.

Interesting.  Milic backstopped Canada to gold at the most recent World Juniors.   If he can translate that success to the pro's... could be a big steal for the Jets

Samberg signs for 2 years @ 1.4M AAV.

Feels like an Amazon AWS commercial.

Who in the actual **** has physical cash on them and why are you so old? (Waits for Al to come in with an off the wall rant about how things are done in Alberta or MB back in 1971)

I carry and pay in cash just to confuse millennials.  It's fantastic watching them panic when I pull out a $20 to pay a $15 bill and they can't do the math in their heads to give me change.

I'll pay for cilantro with cash and Tim Hortons on break with excess change  but everything else is card. I work downtown so yeah, the no cash thing is for a reason.

What's funny is millennials aren't the young generation anymore. They're mid to late 30s now. Showing your age by calling out the "old" millennials, there, Boomer. I'm not even sure what the young kids today are... I'm old as **** and I'm Gen X-ennial...

After millennials are Gen Z which is born in 97 or after.

OK fine - Gen Z - whatever - and I don't really care that I am "showing my age", and no I'm not a Boomer.  To me "showing your age" is going on internet forums criticizing people for carrying cash.  That's just weird.

Jeff - you once posted the Despicable Me "Why Are You So Old.....??" meme... If I wasn't on my phone I would do it myself. We need that now....

Except the one game where all the credit card machines went down and they said “All our machines are down, we only accept cash, do you have any?” about one month after they said they were no longer accepting cash in the COVID season. I have never heard a specific question “Why would I bring cash when you told me you longer accepted cash?” repeated so often in one day. Also never have had a question go unanswered as much as that one. Think the 50/50 was the lowest payout ever that game.

One of these days i'll go by someone begging for money and i'll say sorry i only have tap n pay and he holds out an Interac machine.

Which is why I always carry cash on me.  Computers go down, cash doesn't.
