Had to get @fuboTV to watch this years #WorldJuniors. Would have paid 5x to finally watch the @Avalanche @AltitudeTV crew. @hoosierjm26 @kylekeefetv @RycroftMark @mitchabov #Doctorrrrrrrrr

Should have scored a few more goals like this and I would still be playing, instead of hosting podcasts….#BettingTheLimit

Recently, I sat down with @ryanwhitney6 on #BettingTheLimit. We discussed his experience being surrounded by legendary veteran players as a rookie in Pittsburg and the tremendous impact it had on launching his career. The implementation of the salary cap has changed the dynamics of the locker room in terms of being able to load up on veterans.  As a result, the GM’s ability to balance the number of veteran and young players is more important than ever.  The biggest mistake teams make is having a false sense of how close they are to being legitimate contenders.  Teams who are “building” should focus more on quality than quantity with veteran players. You don’t want to block the development of younger prospects, but in the same regard, these young stars must be surrounded by a small group of elite veterans who will create the future culture. Tyler Toffoli, is the perfect example of this and was a great signing by San Jose.  Meanwhile, for teams who are actually contenders, I have no idea why they hold on to mid-round draft picks like they are Bitcoin. The average third-round pick only has a 20% chance of playing 200 games in the NHL. If you have a chance to win, why not fire away? Just my thoughts…😀

The smartest people I know have an innate ability to create value wherever they go. Listen to @SahilBloom talk about time management, energy creation, and relationships on the latest episode of #BettingTheLimit.
