![]() ![]() He's in the final year of his contract, and if he wants a raise above his $3.1-million cap hit, the Wild might be forced to move on. The cap-strapped Wild also will have a tough time filling out their roster, and Foligno is one of few movable deals that could net them relief. His down year came at age-31, so you have to wonder if this was a mere down year or a red flag signaling decline. But everything else points to a potential trade. ![]() This includes a 59-game season in 2019-20, and a 39-game campaign the following year.īill Guerin and the Minnesota Wild front office surely still value his physical presence and leadership. In 65 games last season, Foligno scored just seven goals and 21 points, lower totals than each of his previous three seasons. One year after putting up those numbers, Foligno's gone from a sell-high candidate to a buy-low opportunity for someone else. Why on earth would you want to sell, say, Marcus Foligno coming off a season where he scored 23 goals and 42 points? Combine that with his physicality and willingness to fight, and you've got Tom Wilson-lite on your hands. There's a reason a team wants to trade a buy-low player, after all, and it's usually pretty obvious to everyone else.Ī similar problem exists when players are at the peak of their value. Oftentimes, buying low means taking a risk on a player that may or may not be damaged goods. Actually doing that, however, is easier said than done. Genuinely one of the best anime I've seen in years and the only thing holding it back from a 10 is that this is only just the beginning.Ideally in the NHL, you want to buy low and sell high. This along with the music and art style being so entrancing you'll enjoy every second of it. The direction of the episodes will cross between the characters in almost a poetic way not fearing that what could be a whole episodes worth of content is shown in mere seconds. Unlike other anime this will grip you immediately and not waste a moment of your time. With all that said the strongest feature of this show is the directing and the pacing. ![]() The core plot of the show basically works as a mystery, what is the elixir of life, what is the island and what resides on it? As you immediately grow attached to Gabimaru and the crew you'll be drawn in and desperate to get these answers and the show won't disappoint as it lays out more and more otherworldly concepts and creatures for the crew to encounter. He'll almost immediately endear you to his cause and have you suckered in with his astounding coolness. Gabimaru, the protagonist, being the obvious standout with his soft and aloof demeanour contrasting to his near otherworldly power. The characters all pop with a similar vibrancy to the setting in both personality and design. The story without giving away to many details is also brilliant. Where the animation is truely able to rise above the competition is bringing to life the setting itself, bursting with colour the island is loaded with rich floristry and wildlife both of which are not of this world. If your familiar with studio MAPPA's work you'll immediately see the resemblance. The animation is similar to both JJK and Chainsaw man with soft pastel colours, rich backgrounds brimming with detail and the occasional 3D model. The music is fantastically absorbing never falling into j-rock cliches that take you away from the uniqueness of the setting (aside from the OP which I'll excuse for just how catchy that is). The music, animation and themes of death, divine justice, redemption and spirituality create an entrancing experience that will grip you from the first episode only to blow your mind by the 3rd. A simple premise but one that's enhanced so brilliantly by the general atmosphere of the show. Hells paradise follows Gabimaru "the hollow" a ninja and convict from the Iwagakure clan as he ventures to a mystic island in pursuit of the elixir of life. With that said of the dark shonen trio hells paradise is easily my favourite which in my opinion couldn't be greater praise considering just how good the other two are. ![]() Which personally as fan of shonen anime no longer in my early teens it's extremely refreshing to get away from the constant themes of friendship and perseverance for your 'dream'. Anime used to be almost exclusively directed to a younger audience but now the shonen genre (shonen literally translating to teen boy) is consumed by people of all ages leaving room for manga and anime that directly targets those demographics. The darker and more adult themes have been all the rage lately and with good reason. Hells paradise is the third of the dark shonen trio that includes jujutsu kaisen and chainsaw man. ![]()
