The article says that a weighted draft lottery system is still probably the most likely scenario. But I thought this was an interesting idea (assuming that they’re even able to resume at some point before next season is set to start).
They played most of the season. There's no reason to change the draft lottery procedures. They shouldn't completely alter their operation just because they want a temporary ratings spike. Sure, a couple teams here in there were going to move up or down a couple spots, but there's no way to account for that and they shouldn't just throw out 70 games worth of results.

It’s cool hearing a younger RJ call a game again.
I miss the sounds of the old arenas, things so packed in with the low ceilings. Some can get loud today, but they'll never sound like that.

If they didn’t air the Michonne episode this week they wouldn’t have been able to use the scene of Judith telling her they got Alpha, which freed Michonne up to look for Rick.
I feel like there was a significant time jump there though (a couple weeks maybe?) and all of the Whisperers were taken care of at that point. How much time that was, who knows, but from the show point of view, only two people know she's dead. I think that radio call happened after anything we'll see in the last three episodes.

With CV-19 ,,,, Filming isn't happening so "next" half season may be a while.
If the Rick movies are already filmed NOW would be the timeGet it done and no looking back
I meant the start of this half season may have been a good spot. Apparently they originally planned to air this episode at a different point but then they swapped around the order a bit. I forget exactly where it was meant to air, possibly right before the attack on Hilltop. I think that just goes to show you how even the writers didn't know where best to place it.
And thanks to this comment, I googled a bit to see if they've started on the Rick movies. It doesn't sound like that has moved much at all yet, so it should be well down the road still. Part of me wants to say the main series ends before we ever see those, but I get the feeling that they'll want to reunite him with his kids at the very end of the show.

That episode kind of sucked. Very little plot movement forward. Zzzz fest.
Yeah, it did feel like a bit of a waste. They didn't choose a good time to air it either. I think most wanted to see immediate follow-up to Negan's actions. I'm not really sure what would have been a better time, maybe the first episode of the half season.

She sure does.
What a tripped out episode. Kinda dull but it sews the pieces together.
Based on the closing scene .....
My guess ... that may be the last time we see her for a long long time.
the next weeks preview -
What was Negan promised
anything else beyond his freedom?
I just wish it was a little easier to hear that radio conversation at the end. I missed a lot of it due to the static. I'm also a bit curious on the time line and how long after the beheading that was. It sounded like they were back in Alexandria, so we do get one little spoiler there on certain characters surviving.
As for when we next see here, my guess is that will be at the very end of the first Rick movie, with their reunion.

I never watched or read any of the Jack Ryan stuff before, I enjoyed this show so far too, it did take a little while to adjust to Jim fighting crime instead of Dwight in the Office......
I've been watching the Office on comedy central this week while I've been home. So yeah, it's extra strange for me.

I used to really dig those too but unfortunately my health issues no longer allow it. I would cook 2 of them and dip sliced bread with peanut butter in it, a meal in itself.
cupboards are bare here, may have to go knock off a squirrel or two for supper.
I like how "Flavor" is in a slightly smaller font. It's like they're trying to hide it but not really trying to hide it.

The wife and I started Jack Ryan over the weekend. She's only half paying attention, but I'm really enjoying it with maybe 3 episodes left to go in season 2. She's never seen them, so I'm going to have to show her Red October and the two Ford movies once we're done. I've been saying "how dare you sir" randomly while watching, so now she'll finally understand why.

Nothing would happen to next year's cap unless they expect this season's alterations to effect next season's revenue projections.
However, if teams are having to refund ticket & television money (and losing concession money) the players could take a MASSIVE escrow hit (possibly even so much as to having to cover excess withholding directly from their own pockets). Doubt that lost revenues will climb that high, but if they have to reduce the playoff tourney which drops TV revenue there will be a lot of unhappy players as they split 50%-50% all Hockey Related Revenues (HRR) with the owners.
And then there are some of those bonus clauses for the ELCs. I don't know the specifics on those, but I'd imagine they'd have to prorate anything with a games played component.

Hadn't thought of it, but yeah, teams that are using BF-LTIR (Sabres technically aren't in that group anymore since they dumped Bogosian's salary because ELC bonuses can slide to next season) could be in a world of hurt if the regular season stretches too far out. But if those guys are back for the playoffs then the teams don't have any issues as the player salaries have already been earned / paid and playoff money is entirely paid from bonus pools and don't count against team salary caps.
It's time to take out the old forging pen and push back those return dates for certain players.

Not only that, but Eichel might be healthy again by the time they resume play.
Yeah, but Sobotka could be too.
Seriously though, just imagine the LTIR implications that could actually pop up for certain teams.

Larry has never been a looker, but at least he can move and he's not hunched over like Lewis.
I need to go back to the first season now, but I feel like Larry hasn't really aged much. He's always looked like the old guy. I'm sure I'll realize how wrong I am the second I cue up the first episode. Lewis has aged a ton though (wasn't there a recent health issue?). Out of curiosity, I just looked up both of their ages and they're identical. Lewis was born 3 days before LD. Lewis is really showing those 72 years far more than David.

She's been dead for like 25 years now. So they've been covering this thing up for that long?

I agree with you that Johansson is more suited to be a winger than a center. Krueger did point out that Kahun has played the center position and has the right makeup (instincts) to play the position. However, he explained that he didn't want to overload him with that responsibility right away. It wouldn't be surprising that if that line is kept in tact that sometime this season or most likely next season Kahun will get an opportunity to demonstrate whether he can handle that pivot responsibility.
It seems like a natural spot where they split the center duty a bit over what's left of the season. It doesn't need to be 50/50, but test out Kahun for a small portion of that time. If they do in fact have chemistry, that chemistry will be there regardless of who is at center.

The whole “in my sweats” piece is 1,000% me. Ha ha, if I come home and put on sweats I’m not leaving. I don’t care what the offer is.
That bit was very Murray Goldberg.
I just caught the episode last night and it lived up to the hype from this thread. John Hamm had the LD routine down perfectly. It kind of makes me wish they actually would make that movie/tv show.

I wish that the league and those involved in the CHL could come up with an agreement that allows exempting one or two high end players to the AHL per parent club. Maybe mandating a fee to the clubs for losing those top shelf players?
I can't picture them ever agreeing to it. They get watered down so quickly if they allow players to go. And just imagine the case where one team is loaded up but then they get raided repetitively due to this rule. They're going to be incredibly pissed. And you can't just setup a rule where a team can only lose X number of players because there's no way to decide which of the NHL teams gets their guy and which doesn't.
And there are already fees for the NHL teams if they keep and 18-19 year old player.

That was unique to the show. He's famous in the comics too, but not a musician. And that's all the point was here. He's a famous singer and that was one of his albums. I hope that's as far as they take it though. We don't need a full episode sharing his back story.
