If we don’t resign Edler we can also “weaponize” cap space. I still think something gets done here

You summed up exactly how I was feeling. Our number one topic is what uniform are we going to wear? Draft is a week away, free agency a little more than 2 weeks. With so many young guys in the mix I’m excited to see who has made big gains in the summer as these guys evolve into men.

7. The government of Canada is going to tax your nickname due to link to Carbon and later force the national media to call you the “Hockey team from Edmonton” to maintain pc in light of their offensive nickname

I’m disappointed anyone who saw this didn’t step in and help the victim. Our willingness to help each other isn’t what it was. The best lesson those little bastards could have learned is someone stepping and dropping a few of them and that we as a society won’t put up with that type of crap.

That won’t be our lineup though I’m pretty convinced we Willa acquire a 20 goal winger to take Goldie’s spot with Bo. Also expect Sutter to exit making room for gaudette

So you think we can accomodate an infinite number of human beings on this planet?

That got a little dark I was mostly considering it from an angle of reproducing less and driving population down. That’s probably a harder sell than getting people to quit using oil but realistically where things need to go if we care an iota about the planet.

It’s pretty easy when you have loads of money fame/power to ask common people who don’t have any of that to make sweeping changes to how we all live. Not just Bill Nye but in general among the celebrity activists. I was reading some interesting thoughts on when we materially run out of oil the theory we will back fill with bio fuels like ethanol and bio diesel from oilseeds like Canola. Interesting how none of these climate change guys ever go to the most obvious answer in that earth just needs fewer human beings everything else is just delaying the inevitable.

If Davis still wants out pelicans could build a hell of a team around Zion with the spoils

The problem for Dany is she is now 1 dead dragon away from being powerless

There’s an interesting dynamic in that other than birth right and or revenge what was the purpose of crossing the narrow sea and conquering Westeros. You made some good points on the past conquests had purpose or an end game that benefited others besides Dany. The play to conquer Westeros is about power and revenge which is more corruptable. Generally speaking there hasn’t been a lot of narrative about the common people of Westeros suffering during the series more so the elite fighting for control and power for personal desire.

I wonder if some of the pace has been dictated by how complete the source material is on the book side. With the cluster of big events happening it does leave less time for character development but for those that whine about Danny going mad queen she has been ruthless for a long time and against people she had less reason to hate than those in Westeros just was always painted as a liberator rather than a conqueror.

I’m a little surprised he didn’t make it as an 4th line pk guy. I like his work rate. You could tell by mid season he wasn’t in the plans based on the lack of a call up despite our injury woes. I think he could get a look at a nhl spot with a league minimum contract.

You could argue Bo Horvat was a high floor type player picked in the range we will be picking. Formula of high character high skill is the route to go.

Encouraging for his development for sure

Based on how he profiles perhaps they felt the odds of him becoming a bottom 6 contributor were higher than Dahlen being an effective nhler

Further to the lamenting on the juolevi and Virtanen picks you are not going to bat 100 percent even in the top 10 there are misses. If your misses are atleast contributing NHL players which the only one with something to prove there is juolevi you are far better off than most.

Tough to find scores on the ncaa site but based on Harvard’s twitter looks like Jack had a goal in there loss today.

Making room for Hughes and must be some confidence retaining Edler and tanev

If we win 1OA I’d hate to be Benning as we should be picking kakko big time.

If true it is good to see some teams other than the usual suspects landing top free agents

I am with you there Alf how are you 3rd in scoring with one of the highest even strength point totals and a neutral plus minus. I get not everyone loves plus minus but if you are a leading scorer and presumably controlling the game how are you allowing as many as you create. With his speed Connor should be able to take away a lot of transition plays and he should have adequate size to deal with opposing centres in his end of the rink. Probably should spend the off season watching Crosby tape.

Gaudette needs to get 12-15 minutes every night. Some times you’ve got to let the horses run.

Most of our guys took discounts during our best seasons and their “ paydays” were not ridiculous compared to their track record.

We are geared to have two shut down type lines plus Bo’s line. Both teams equally green in playoff hockey. We would be the underdog but I say bring it on.
