The Oilers, Wild and Flames need to win tonight as well as the Canucks to maintain pace. If the Preds, Stars and Knights all lose and the Canucks win it puts us no less than 5 total points back of potentially 6th in the west.

There ya go. I'd be asking the same myself. 1s + 2nd plus blue chip prospect plus roster player for Pettersson and the same plus an additional pick for Hughes. Just because of the skill but also the contract/cost certainty and what they mean to this team
-
Was that the special olympics? I am officially putting money on Sweden, USA or Finland.

According to building codes in Sweden, the minimum standard ceiling height for residential buildings is 2.4 meters for main buildings and 2.3 meters for basements or 7.87 feet at a minimum.

What would you request in return for Pettersson and Hughes?

Don't think it matters. BA.4 and BA.5 are knocking https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/who-monitoring-omicron-sub-variants-1.6415875

Covid just passed 500 million+ cases crushing China right now. BA.2 now rising in 20 nations. no less than 4 new variants found and being classified as variants of concern by the WHO. Ontario getting kicked around again But hey, everyone can go sit at the pub and have a pint so why worry This thread died so fast. it's amazing to see how fast we'll move on as a species https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/worldwide-covid-cases-1.6419773 https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/ontario-hospitals-virus-related-absences-1.6418471 Global COVID-19 cases surpassed 500 million on Thursday, according to a Reuters tally, as the highly contagious BA.2 sub-variant of Omicron surges in many countries in Europe and Asia. The rise of BA.2 has been blamed for recent surges in China as well as record infections in Europe, while South Korea leads the world in the daily average number of new cases, reporting more than 182,000 new infections a day and accounting for one in every four infections globally, according to a Reuters analysis. New cases are rising in 20 out of more than 240 countries and territories tracked, including Taiwan, Thailand and Bhutan.

Just for fun. I'd do whatever it took to get Luke and Jack Hughes from NJ to reunite the 3 brothers. Then draft Jack Hughes this year as well. That poor gd announcer, could you imagine?
-
And that's you and that's fine./ But what do the 2 Hughes Bros represent for the Devils? THAT besides pure talent is what you're paying for. Jack is trending towards a Marner style player and that's huge and cost controlled. My comment is essentially that they're not tradeable, nobody can pay what the Devils will want for them especially this team.

Here's an interesting take on things. It's not all doom and gloom, it's the media's fault for only reporting the bad stuff https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/economic-health-column-don-pittis-1.6418102

Van is trading Horvat, Pettersson, Boeser (on a signed $5.75 million deal) Podkolzin our newly signed AHL goalie and this years 1st, next years 1st and a 2nd just to even get the conversation started. Like, do you understand what that would mean for both clubs? I would do almost anything to get the other 2 Hughes Bros here but we have literally nothing they'd take outside of everything to facilitate that trade.

I read a report that stated something about canada having built the least amount of houses in the G20 over the last 40 years. That honestly tracks because much of what I used to be involved in was office space and industrial.

Oh man. 3 alarm fire bells ringing all over. At what point is it just fear mongering? https://www.businessinsider.com/canada-housing-bubble-a-cautionary-tale-us-real-estate-market-2022-4?utm_source=reddit.com

If you look at the charts. You will see that it really wasn't a great deal of time ago that interest rates around Canada were at 7%. Imagine what that would do to people right now. It would literally bury hundreds of thousands of people that are wildly over leveraged

Here we go Vancouver 10th in the west with 8 games left and 82 points: Arizona, Dallas/Ottawa, Minnesota, Calgary, Seattle, LA/Edmonton. 2 back to backs left https://www.nhl.com/canucks/schedule/2022-04-01/PT Vegas 9th in the west with 8 games left 85 points: Calgary, Edmonton, Jersey, Washington, San Jose, Dallas/Chicago, St Louis. One back to backs left https://www.nhl.com/goldenknights/schedule/2022-04-01/PT Dallas 8th in the west with 9 games left 88 points: Minnesota, San Jose, Vancouver, Edmonton/Calgary, Seattle, Vegas/Arizona, Anaheim. 2 back to backs left https://www.nhl.com/stars/schedule/2022-04-01/CT Nashville 7th in the west with 9 games left 89 points: Edmonton, Chicago/St Louis, Calgary, Tampa/Minnesota, Calgary, Colorado/Arizona. 3 back to backs left. https://www.nhl.com/predators/schedule/2022-04-01/CT Los Angeles 6th in the west with 7 games left 88 points: Colorado*, Columbus, Anaheim, Chicago, Anaheim, Seattle/Vancouver: 1 Back to backs left (Avs game 2nd in 2 nights) https://www.nhl.com/kings/schedule/2022-04-01/PT This is where everything stands. LA by far has the easiest schedule. We absolutely cannot lose or give a single point to Dallas in that game or it's over. Nashville has a game at hand but also the hardest schedule. We literally need to go a minimum of 6-1-1 without losing to Dallas; and have Edmonton and Calgary stomp the crap out of Vegas and Dallas for us. These are the games that matter the most. It's entirely out of our hands as even going 8-0 is no guarantee. To be completely honest, a Nashville collapse and Dallas going 3-5 would be the best possible eventuality for us. But it's not a guarantee. Make of this what you will

I am locked in until 2024/2025 and I am hoping it's a steep peak and a drop back down to normalcy. I guess people forget that 7% wasn't really that long ago either. But 7% now would bury almost a million people in extra payments on cars, homes, credit cards and loans
-
Well Jiricek or Nemec would be the only reason I'd want to try to move up. I am kinda sold on the idea of moving down. I honestly believe this is the kind of year where some of the best players come out of the 2nd rounds or later

Remember on comments on China shutting down and how bad that will be. Well... https://maxrottersman.medium.com/china-to-putin-drop-dead-9f02c370869a Putin didn’t see this coming. He expected the global economy to rebound after the pandemic. As Americans and Europeans started going out again, they would buy more cars, go on vacations, spend, spend, spend. And who would build those cars, airplanes? Who would add more trucks to the road? Mostly Germany. And who does Germany, and most other countries, depend on for assembly and raw material manufacturing? China. Oops. In late March, 2022, China started closing down its largest city. The supply chain still hasn’t recovered and now this! How much manufacturing can Germany (Europe) do without China? My guess is that they won’t have enough demand to run their factories at full capacity, even if the war disappeared tomorrow. In short, China is forcing the European (if not global) economy into a recession (if it wasn’t headed there already); that means less need for Russian resources. As the Chinese economy shuts down Europeans will have even more time to shift from Russian resources to other resources. Once they spend the money on that change it would be decades before they’d go back to Russia. Also, keep in mind that everyone loses money in the black market, Russia and Germany alike. China seems intent on sticking with their zero Covid policy for as long as possible. If the rest of the world has to wait another year for the global supply chain to work through China, so be it. If the world shifts more production to Vietnam, so be it. It’s an irony that Putin doesn’t realize China has prepared for this day too. Next year it might be China who calls the shots in buying Russian oil. Despite some saber rattling over Taiwan, China cares more about their partners in Europe than Russia. Yes, China tells its domestic audience that it stands behind Russia. But all China really cares about is cheap oil and grains from Russia.
