The Rielly and Gustafsson pairing is the kind of thing that seems like it could be a fun sheltered pairing on home ice. I just wrote about how I am not a fan of Kerfoot on the top line or in the top six, but with the appreciation for the defensive games he brings. We saw it in James' first year in the purple and gold when a Christmas Day injury to his groin led to his squad dropping from the top four to out of the playoff race. There are absolutely some takeaways here to look at and I am in love with some of the things we’re seeing here and decidedly against some other things. Scherzer saw a double play get wiped out due to a pitch clock violation and was also called for a balk when he tried to take advantage of what he thought were the rules and "quick-pitch" a hitter. Draft a QB It's unlikely the Jets will want to draft a young quarterback again. But the team was likely to move on from Moore given his 2023 salary, and this move gives the team financial flexibility to plan for the future, ideally with a star quarterback. They sat at ninth overall prior to the deal and would have likely been out of the running for a QB had they not made the move. The Panthers needed to trade up to have a chance to draft a QB in this year's class after failing to land Derek Carr as a free agent. The Carolina Panthers rattled the 2023 NFL Draft by agreeing to a trade with the Chicago Bears for the first overall pick. Unless the Memphis Grizzlies don't plan on having him back for the playoffs, he essentially needs to be on the court for them in the coming days. But then, the day I came here and met everyone, it was it was a great day for myself and my family, a very proud day."
