    10 wins just isn’t that hard in a 17 game season. 12-15 teams have won 10+ all three seasons we’ve had 17 game seasons. 10 wins won’t be a heck of a feat. The over/under is 9.5, there’s a good chance they get 10. That still means 7 losses. Now, 12/13 wins, that’ll be a heck of a feat. Only 4/5 losses on that schedule, now you got a stew cooking

    Here’s a deeper dive into RK
  5. jersey cubs fan
    It’s an important step but not a big deal today. He probably won’t be a big difference maker in 2026/27. He’s been expected to come over this summer all along so it’s not a surprise. but he is a guy you can expect to play top 6 minutes and Chicago is desperate for top 6 guys, instead of a bunch of 3rd/4th liners playing up by default. He has star potential but more likely a good support player if they are able to draft one of the top 2 forwards this summer the forward group can look a lot better next season. What they need to do is trade some of their very significant draft capital for a good expensive player to kickstart their ascendance. if you can have 6 legit F in your top 6 plus Nazar as your 3rd line guy, suddenly you have legit scoring depth and will make life difficult for opponents.

    CBS yahoo and mlb all had the same 6/6 final issue. ESPN was correct. Assume some of those have the same underlying service provider

    So realistically, they probably aren’t trading the pick and will end up with a quality D prospect at 4, unless once of the top two guys drop or they reach for the 3rd best F. given that D men take more time to develop, the fact that they are currently overstocked on D doesn’t really matter. They can draft that guy, let him play college or junior, sign him after 2026/27 season, send him to AHL for 27/28 with hopes of being an NHLer for 28/29. Meanwhile, the 7ish young D men fighting for NHL spots currently should be whittled down to 5 or fewer by then. Vlasic will be nearing the end of his contract. Crevier may have leveled out. Rinzel/Lev/Korchinski could have fizzled out. Kaiser may have priced himself out of the roster. New guy slots right in. the problem is they still need F help. Perhaps the 3 firsts for next year can be packaged for something. But I really think this years #4 should be dangled for anybody looking to shed a quality F in the interest of rebuilding.

    we have to hope he’s got some sort of moneyball level awareness of how rushing the passer is an overrated ability. I wonder if his obsession with freak athletes hurts his ability to scout young pass rushers some of those guys have the measurables but plenty are just good football players

    So it turns out trading for three Blackhawks isn’t the cure all for what ails Edmonton. Curious where McDavid plays next

    I read that he “believes that will be the game” not that he reported it a lot Of people believe the bears will open at Seattle

    It was viewed as strong at pass rush and weak at DT, I believe. but it’s not just this draft. Poles had 4 prior drafts and hasn’t taken anybody who’s been a great contributor on d line. The one guy he got was an established vet he had to trade for. It’s been a recurring theme and not just an an issue that popped out via surprise retirement announcement like center

    People were more caught up in which TE they selected than that they took a TE. The need/usage was clear. You need and can use 2. There isn’t a need/usage for 3 good ones. This is just Kmet’s replacement a year before you need it. last years draft had some good results. But doubts about Poles and the draft are about way more than last year. He’s taken a bunch of project lineman and random reaches in the 3rd/4th rounds and those guys haven’t worked. 3rd/4th rounders should contribute to your team with regularity. 6/7 round projects that fail are fine. He’s been in charge since 2022 and the defense has gotten steadily worse. The offense has improved thanks to Ben and Caleb, but you can’t pull rabbits out of asses as a Super Bowl winning strategy. They need to get better on defense and Poles has not shown anything g that suggests he capable. The “let the qb hold the ball strategy” has not worked. You will get housed by the 49ers and Rams of the world. The good QBs will love playing the Bears. They might get to a Lions level of success playing the run and gun first team to 50 wins style of football. But the goal should be better than what the Lions have topped off at. They have to at least be an average defense.

    I think from 30,000 feet it’s nice that they have safety and center likely taken care of for a bit. Kmet’s replacement is here a year early and the corner depth is fine. But the route they took to get there while ignoring more important positions (again) leaves a lot to be desired the two special team reaches at wr/lb are way too much like guys who’ve been brought in for similar purposes in recent years. How many non pass rushing LBs can you possibly acquire when LBs barely affect the game? the Afrikaners DT is a fun story but ultimately probably not much different from the Dominique Robinson “raw athlete” story.
