  1. the further you go from that 8-10 area in the draft the chance of landing outstanding talent drops off like a cliff. Why would we do that when Gaudette and Sutter can form a good 3C pair? Gaudette still needs careful development so I can see this pairing being very beneficial this year for AGs development.
  2. I guess the issue is how desperate is Dubas? I'd be happy for Jim to take on one of their big contract for Sandin, but I really doubt that can happen. I really don't see another prospect worth the cost for Zaitsav. I guess one year of Marleau for a 2nd and one of the b prospects?
  3. I'm sure they are getting calls, just like we do for Boeser. Means nothing.
  4. you'd think with the success the Marlies have had there would be a deeper pool. He might as well burn off what he has, he's going to lose picks/Marlies or roster players so make your choice to move out expensive Russian and/or old dude. I would think Vancouver and TO could be ideal trading partners but I wonder if Dubas will just leave it too long and Jim makes other choices.
  5. what I'd prefer the carbon tax be used for is to subsidize our trucking and rail industries to go to greener vehicles. Cut that, and we become a world leader in emissions reduction. RS: totally agree on the military investments, we can and should be doing this ourselves from R&D to production.
  6. are you sure that you're not a red tory in hiding? I could get behind all of this.
  7. this kind of idea is common in many countries - there is a basic fairness to consumption taxes that makes sense, and its not even close to the value added taxes seen in Europe. a "Chong conservative" ouch
  8. they key is having more first nations ownership in the projects. If Trudeau is able to announce a major partnership this month with TMX I think it will get other groups across the country interested in energy projects. Quebec simply will have no way of blocking it, particularly when the option is first nations backed projects vs. Saudi oil. Sure there will always be the vocal jerks there always are but I don't believe they'll be able to stop a pux-based project.
  9. If Mike Milbury was still a GM maybe..... just maybe.......
  10. If Trouba is only willing to be a 1 year rental then WPG won't be getting a return like that.
  11. well you'd have to think Tanev 50% retained for NZ + futures could be a real possibility then.
  12. What would you trade to SJ for the rights to Karlsson so we can negotiate with him now?

      Nothing.  His health is too much of a question mark already.

      EK is the best UFA in years.  If we could get him it would make our completed rebuild elite.  

  13. you're walking dangerous ground there in BC my friend. I really dislike the us vs. them thing that they have with business, but it is what it is. Horgans doing better than I thought he would but of course he's in a precarious position at the moment.
  14. I guess thats possible, so if thats true then a deal retaining 50% of his salary is the way to go for sure.
