    The Minnesota Wild received a compensatory second-round pick as a result of not signing their 2018 first-round selection Filip Johansson.

    Nah, actually retired. He will come off the cap entirely for the oilers, not an LTIR situation, and hilariously Chicago, after trading away DeBrincat's $6.4 cap hit will take a $5.8 million cap recapture charge since the Keith contract is one of those extreme back diving ones that are no longer allowed.

    It is done!!

    A lot of fun EX stages/Challenge Modes this event (as well as some Real Buttclench Hours, but we'll ignore that). I got to use Weedy S2 for pretty much almost every single one? This event was MADE FOR ME

    BI-EX-7 CM was my favorite just because of the strat I came up with, I recorded that and BI-EX-8 CM (the latter of which was sloppy af but it was also one of my initial stabs at it so it wasn't refined, but w/e we got there).

    I cleared all the event stuff as well, Elysium got some play since Saileach is still in training and getting those very fast deploys was very important to some of those EX levels this time. The conditions were fairly interesting this time, save Challenge EX 8, which just magnified the boss' most annoying trait.

    Alucard is obviously perfect for playing an ageless returning ally in the Belmont war against evil. I would particularly enjoy if he makes it a hobby to always take jabs at Trevor to his descendants, laughing at their horror when they find out Trevor was a boorish drunk when Alucard met him, but also annoyed that every single Belmont has been taught to give him shit about being stuck-up nobility.

    I am still behind. I cleared the normal missions but none of the extra stuff :( I'll have to knock them all out soon, especially just for event currency since I swear it feels like I've gotten barely any. I've been able to buy the new character and her merges but that's it so far. (I'm assuming finishing all the achievements or whatever will award a huge chunk)

    This event definitely pushed me to finally promote Weedy to E2. So good at pushing ice cubes! :smiley:

    Warlock, You'll definitely have to grind some outside of just completing everything, but I think it isn't too bad.

    On a completely different note, I got super lucky this banner, and on the second ten pull I got two Gnosises (Gnoses, Gnosi?). He is an absolute beast on these levels, but it annoyed me that they made the boss immune to cold. :(

    Also, I may have just been completely oblivious to this before, but are there always some levels in events that get bonuses (bonii?) to exp and lmd that other levels don't? Like right now BI-8 doesn't get a bonus, but 7 and 6 do, but 5 doesn't, and so on?

    I have been - I've been spending the majority of my stamina on the event missions (honestly I feel like I've blown through a lot of my resources lately so getting more zelda floor tiles and metal boxes with lots of holes is useful). It just feels like the currency is coming really slow so far. It's probably because the new character merges are so expensive tho. Now that I'm done with those I feel like almost everything else is like half the price at best so I'll be able to buy more stuff at once.

    Got a copy of Castlevania Advance Collection during the Steam sale. Never played through Circle of the Moon, never beat Harmony of Dissonance, and I didn't play Aria but I did play Dawn on the DS.

    I have to remember that these were GBA games and thus maybe aren't as feature complete as later games in the series.

    Tires are actually the biggest thing for absorbing gravel stuff, so really any "endurance" or "cyclocross" bike will be fine with a bigger set of tires. Or if it's really nasty, a hardtail mountain bike with skinnier tires. Just make sure it's 700c/29" wheels as that's going to roll a lot smoother than 650b
    Also, there are a metric shit ton of bikes with track style dropouts, they're just usually smaller makers.
    Like this one: https://allcitycycles.com/bikes/archive/nature_boy_disc

    Yeah, but then you need that super wide fork so you can fit those big tires in there. My road bike can barely fit anything that's not a thin roadie tire.

    The pens apparently wanted to tie Malkin's contract to the expiration on Sid's. If they hadn't just given Letang 6 years that logic would have made much more sense.

    The only thing I'll say about Malkin is that he's been getting hurt quite a bit in the last few years. I'd be slightly afraid of term on him as well.

    Yeah, he played 41 games last season. And I don't believe he was on LTIR at any point. You can't make a long-term commitment to someone who is going to tie up that much of your salary cap and not be there to even try to make it worth it. You either have to go cheap on it -- which would be insulting and bad for everyone -- or pay him based on how much you can reasonably expect him to produce. So you pay him well on, for example, a 2 year deal, and then revisit it in two years to see how many games he's played, how many games you can expect from him, etc, etc

    That doesn't make any good new points and is too long for what it says. I'm just blathering.

    Evander Kane signed a deal with the oilers late last night. 4x5.125. Interesting that he signs in Edmonton after getting permission to talk to other teams. I wonder if the Oilers were willing to give more term, which given Kane's bankruptcy/financial situation is probably something important to him/his lawyers/his creditors.

    I'll remind everyone that I'm an Oilers fan.

    When the oilers signed him midseason I was not happy, huge risk on a problematic player. I still feel that way, especially since the arbitrator won't rule on his San Jose situation until mid August. I do not like that he's going to be an OIler for 4 years, because everything in his history tells us this is going to end extremely badly.

    I hope Evander Kane puts his life back together, there are signs of it. The fact that a single (with girlfriend) dad who travels for a job got full custody of a child over the mother I think does say something about where the situation went. Courts/judges are not apt to give dads custody of children over mothers unless there is very good reason to. I really hope that the support group around him is/has given him the help he needs and that he really has matured/become a better person.

    I despise that he lied about vaccination status. That shows selfishness to the extreme. He has been run out of town with every team he's played on, and the magnifying glass that is the Edmonotn market might not be good for him personally.

    Just have to hope that he's matured from his younger years. Really have to hope it.

    His was a bit different, he tried to get a medical exemption, and when it got denied he was faced with a choice of either not being able to play in most of the games, or getting the vaccine. He got the vaccine.

    Kane foraged a vaccination card. Quite different.

    Wasn't there a line about how a hero who does things without listening to others is actually a villain? I think it might have been Five talking to Viktor, but I've just binged three seasons in ten days so individual moments might be running together

    But yeah, somebody should have pointed out to Allison that even if her mother hadn't died, she still wouldn't have met her husband in the Season Threeniverse, because she would have lived a life without the Umbrella Academy, so Harlan wasn't to blame
