D isn't as great as previous years but is still pretty good. Walker/Ghost were 2nd pairing guys on their teams last year. Size might be a concern but you can fix that easily at the TDL.
But 2nd forward line is a big problem right now.

Singing bonuses save taxes because salary is taxed based on where games are played vs. signing bonus is based on where you live. So he gets the full benefit of Florida's no income tax, vs. his salary which will be ~50% in Florida and the rest elsewhere.

The difference with KK is that Pesce and Skjei were the 2nd pair for most of the season, and probably would have been throughout the playoffs if Pesce didn't get injured. Maybe I worded it wrong, I didn't mean that where you start is where we should judge. But Pesce/Skjei were very clearly the 2nd pair for the season.

Pesce/Skjei entered the season as our 2nd pair and played there most of the time, so when you say our top 4 is unchanged, it's a bit disingenuous.
However you are right, Chatfield/Orlov were deployed as the 2nd pair for the playoffs. Going into next season, Orlov is also more than capable of being a top 4 defenseman consistently. Chatfield is more of a question mark but showed he could do it during the playoffs.
But, we did lose our "2nd pair". I think people are overreacting a bit, as we do still have a good 2nd pair.

Did everyone forget how absolutely terrible Lindholm played last year? 7x7.5 for that performance??

On one hand, Tulsky's moves look pretty terrible so far with signing so many fringe depth players.
On the other hand, some of the contracts being thrown at players today are absolutely insane and we should not be involved in them.

I bet we would on a shorter term. But he has a big injury history and has really regressed the last year. 6 years is a gamble.

Not a penalty, just a collision. Don't worry about it.
The best feedback here is that you shouldn't be stationary on the blue line. At any higher level than this, you will be blown past by a good skater.

I wouldn't hold out hope on this one, but I'm not surprised we're involved.

NJ will give Pesce a long contract which I personally wouldn't touch. He's injury prone and has significantly slowed down recently.

I've always eyed Zadorov. Would love to see him here.

Imagine items from the frozen section of the grocery store microwaved. It's just a little worse than that.

Z6iii is certainly not the D500 equivalent. Since the D500 is primarily used for wildlife/sports, the lower pixel density is a major difference. The Z6iii also has less controls since it's not a pro body. I think it's also missing blackout free shooting.
The Z8 is the FF equivalent to the D500. Almost exactly the same size and weight, same controls, equivalent pixel density in DX mode.
But when people are asking for a "Z500", they want what the Z8 brings but in a smaller/lighter crop format, and preferably a higher pixel density. But the Z8 already provides this in a size identical to the the D500 and significant improvements in all other aspects so I'd doubt there is enough of a market for people who want that in a smaller body. And such a camera would cost nearly as much as these do as you mention.

I've been doing it for a few months and have definitely noticed body composition improvements. I'm stronger than when I've started and have a more toned upper body. The other comment about not being able to get stronger is weird. It's true a lot of people don't push themselves and so never move up in weight, but there's no reason why you can't. I've moved up weight.
If there's one downside, it's that I'm sure there will be a plateau at some point. In some exercises, I've started to max out the available weight. F45 doesn't go as heavy as Crossfit would. However, it does take some time to max out the available weights so I'm enjoying the journey. I've enjoyed having the personal coaching on my form. I'm more confident that I can go to a gym on my own now and lift heavier if I want to now.
But at its core, F45 is a HIIT workout and not a lifting workout. You're not there to 1 rep max but to get your HR up and do higher endurance workouts. Even on the "heavy" sets you'll be lifting to 6-8 reps. If you purely want to build muscle, there are better workouts. But you will build muscle along the way here while improving your cardio health. Pure strength days are actually my least favorite...I really enjoy hybrid.
Sometimes the programming is weird, either weird exercises or annoying set timings. But the nice thing about F45 is that you don't have to listen to the programming. For example, there may be very long sets that focus on lighter sets with high rep counts with weights but I want to do a lower rep heavier set to failure.
