surely the mods can figure out a way to not allow someones 1st post to be a trade proposal

whats interesting tho is most of what you bulleted out is in the realm of social media or regular media conversation more than anything or some things that are still rare exceptions (the whole trans thing in sports e.g., is still very much in tiny numbers of people involved). what the right is actually doing - not just talking about - is far more impactful. In the US they are actually the ones reshaping things - e.g., denial of service laws, gerrymandering, shutting down access to legal health services, inhumane treatment at the border, etc. But sure lets set our hair on fire over an angry college girl protestor meme.

yes, we'd save 1 mil of cap space sending him to Utica. We actually save money sending him to Utica (bury 1 mil) vs a buyout (save 444k) for the next 2 years. We'd save 2.4 mil in year 3 tho for a buyout.

[Speculation] Lucic says he would like to play here
JM_ replied to Provost's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Apparently Edmonton sports writers are of the opinion that we'd need to ADD to move Loui for Lucic something is definitely in the water in Edmonton. https://edmontonjournal.com/sports/hockey/nhl/cult-of-hockey/edmonton-oilers-would-have-to-add-sweetener-to-move-milan-lucic-to-vancouver-nhl-insider-says-hmm -
(Rumour) Poolparty wants out of Edmonton
JM_ replied to Nucksfollower1983's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
what about someone like Ben Chiarot from WPG? bigger body and same point totals as Hutty and will be a lot cheaper. Kronwall might have a year left in him too. Say we replace Hutty and Edler with these two on juicy 1 year deals. It leaves us with better contract options for next year and if we really go on a run for the playoffs we can get into the TDL market too. -
[Proposal] Canucks and Avalanche Trade
JM_ replied to RowdyCanuck's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
I don't believe Hutton has much, if any, trade value. He's due a raise and he hasn't played up to the cap hit, and he doesn't bring anything above 3rd line pairing potential. I wouldn't be surprised or upset if he doesn't get qualified and is allowed to become a free agent. -
(Speculation)Luring Nikita Tryamkin

is anyone else uncomfortable with the title of this thread? -
but where are things at really? not what Fox or meme's are saying, but in reality. Whats actually changed in our laws in the US or Canada e.g.? The myth part is that there's a lefty wave out there forcing people to do things and the only hope is a right wing reaction to it. Gee, who does that serve? As far as the milkshakes, etc. is that wrote than running someone over at a protest? there's idiots to spare on the left and right. Social conservatism is having a bit of a revival far more than the left is getting new law, particularly in the US.

thats true, but what kind of minutes? Hutty to me is a pretty big disappointment from what he looked like he might be in his 1st season. We haven't seen that guy for 2 years so I don't see a big difference between him and some of the secondary FA or lower down trade market guys. -
(Rumour) Poolparty wants out of Edmonton
JM_ replied to Nucksfollower1983's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I'm just saying its not the end of the world if he does walk, I do think we can find a way to make the left side work. In all likelihood he's not going to put in a full season so we have to anyway. -
A lot of people see social conservatives wanting us all to live by their rules as extremist too. This whole myth of the mad leftie thing is getting a little pathetic. OK so someone's upset somewhere, if that causes you actual angst you might want to talk to a counsellor.
-
meh, so some putz has an angry lefty friend. There's just as many extremists on the right and left. Doesn't mean the world is in the "grips" of anything, its just more over-reaction to things that aren't really problems.
-
um, Rob you might want to look around, the world is already pretty much run by the right wing. Trump, Putin, Xi......

autospelling - "you're bang on there"
-
you owe it to yourself to talk to a professional, there might be a way out of this for you where you are happy.
-
yeah you're bang not there. But the ribbon generation eliminating dodge ball will change everything
-
yeah math was not my strong suit in high school either, no one was giving me pointers at the chalk board when i was drawing blanks - everyone goes through something (did much better in university in math, not sure why? maybe it was the not smoking weed part in my 20s).

I'd do it anyway, Edler's agent is playing hardball and if he walks we can find a serviceable LHD elsewhere on day 2 of free agency. -
who was there to protect me in math class huh? who??

[Report] Jeff Skinner and Sabres closing in on deal
JM_ replied to DontFockWithBrock's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I have a hard time seeing WPG paying that. This is all getting way out of hand, I don't see how this trend ends in anything but another missed year of hockey. -
I'm guessing reparations in the form of a new x box and gaming pillow will smooth things over. I see these stories as having some hope to them, if this is the level of things we have time to worry about now our society is doing well.

Oh dude- step 1

Sure we will - Toronto is going to need a 120 mil cap by then so we'll be good -

Dibs on the thread 3 years from now for the Canucks trying to get an extra 1st round pick if we take on this contract -

I'd much rather have Panarin, his playmaking abilities are far better.
