I too think the money being floated for Marner is crazy-talk, especially, as you also noted, Bennet's estimated asking price is lower and it could easily be argued he's had much more of an impact on his team's playoff run than Marner. There is always some group that will pay too much, though - in the past we could count on that to be Toronto but that's obviously out the window. I've been following the Canes closer now, while they do have a lot of cap space, and a lot of their fans seem to think it's a *great* idea - he's got to be a guy that will really help a team make the next step forward.... and I don't that he would be for Carolina.
Great article, Craig. I miss seeing you, Leah and Petey covering hockey on a daily basis, but really enjoyed this article. I hope you’re enjoying your summer and your change of pace with your current work!
I think being a STH for 10 years helped my running. It got me out of a rut and obsessively thinking about something else.
Late tonight, I’ll be crunching numbers and telling young freshmen and sophomore high school runners based upon either their 1600 meter time or better yet if they have a 5000 meter time, what they should run their 1000 meter workouts in.
Then your very good article appeared in my email and took me back… did all that really happen? I actually got into two fights over this team at the arena and I can’t even skate!
Or, did it all happen? Maybe it was all just my overactive imagination!!!! Sartre in “ Nausea” said the past never happened, it’s just a way to justify our own existence!!!
But, I was there! I know I was!
Section 112, Row A, seat 1
I think. “ A great menace weighs over the city” the Roquentin said in trying to figure it all out in the meantime you’ve given me an idea about Friedman’s 32 thoughts”
I’m gonna do that for high school XC!
Earlier, I talked to two freshmen about Rod Dixon’s bronze medal 1972 Munich 1500, the silver leaf that was on the front of his singlet and why they do that in NZ, his 1983 New York
Marathon win and the Pepsi patch he sewed on his shorts for a sponsor
They all laughed. I have a theory that if you tell young athletes stories, it will inspire them.
...and the search for a top center to anchor the team wherever it moves continues.
Great recap! I admit to being detached for awhile so it really helps. The flame still burns and is rekindled with some edge of your seat hockey games in the Playoffs.

They can have the NHL draft at my house if they want. I'm sure my wife won't mind.
I will run it past Gary.
Excellent article.

Great article. Wish we still had a team.
Let’s go YOTES!

I miss seeing it live so much.
And yeah, it is crazy that the center position is still a question mark after all these years.
I will never get over the Tempe vote. I wonder how the people who voted no feel now
