  1. I just don't think the Flames would look to do something like that in the 1st place. We'd probably get out bid by Arizona if this were really a thing.
  2. I'm not opposed to a Subban trade in some form (not the one Botchturd suggested) in part because PKs contract ends in 3 years. So if it did turn out bad at least its a shorter-term problem.
  3. yeah but Neal. Neal. We have one like that already. Even if Jim is able to find a new home for Loui I still don't think we need to be talking on contracts like this on purpose. Free agency is risky enough.
  4. yeah well see, I bet it ends up being Keith Gretzky by default.
  5. I thought OJ was a bit risky tbh, to me it seemed like Jim was looking to the future for more of a puck moving d (as we can see now how much that matters in this playoffs) vs a more traditional high scoring guy like Sergachev. Or bypassing Tkatpuk, that was a bold move. But I do hear what you're saying, if you never go for high ceiling you're never going to get it. At the time Petey looked like a reach down - only 1 of the scouting blogs had Petey at 5 !! most had him around 9 or even some around 20.

  6. Or run as an independent. She can speak all her truth that she wants to and vote how she wants to. Now that a number of prominent lawyers have written op-ed's on this, its pretty clear that JWR made a big blunder. So if her choice now is to run against things she claimed to support mere weeks ago then she's maybe better off not being in politics.
  7. Calgary is not going to give anyone a 1st and Dube for anyone taking on Neal. If they did that, a number of teams would line up to take it and then Calgary should fire Treliving.
  8. isn't that what he's done with Jake and Juolevi? seems to be two favourite picks to beat Jim over the head with. There seems to be a lot of potential high ceiling guys at 10 this year tho.
  9. maybe not technically but certainly in spirit and in principle. She's said a number of times how she still supports the Liberal party ideas, her former colleagues, etc. so if she joins up with another party then she's actively working against much of what she just said she still supported. Makes her look flaky.
  10. I was just wondering if the Philippines owned a Caribbean island. It would be nice to snag one of those too.
  11. Oh man Rob, before you "whip out" the Trudeau meme's you might want to check the history here before assigning political responsibility. Your guy Harper declared it a private company issue back in 2015 and left us all with a mess to clean up: https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/containers-of-canadian-garbage-languishing-in-philippines-port-1.2289671
  12. suggesting that the Canucks need to sign Gardiner this off season. I can't remember his name - whoever is on the afternoon show.
  13. Nothing it just won't die for some reason. Some noob on 650 can't stop suggesting it.
  14. Honestly I'd love to see how he would sail these back to us. It might be hilarious.
  15. I have a joke about a Ukrainian guy and a potato in his speedo along those lines but its probably not allowed on CDC. In the cases you suggest, I imagine you'll be asked to move to an area nearby for additional screening. I doubt you'd be "tackled".
  16. maybe they need something on the right side and are stacked on the left? dunno. just threw a name out there. you could be right... the price may have reduced. I just don't see who we have that makes it possible.
  17. maybe from teams who have an extra Montour or younger established d man. But thats not us, we'd have to cough up that 1st. Interesting idea, probably goes nowhere.
  18. maybe in principle. When looking at our depth, how many guys have real separation in skills between the guys in Uitca and/or guys they could take a job from in the NHL? Hughes was one easily penciled in. Juolevi will be given the opportunity (he's probably the 1st injury call up). Gaudette maybe wasn't without all the injurues but he did OK. And then we have a lot of guys that its hard for me to say separate themselves from the pack. Is MacEwan showing better than any of our other Fs? who's job does he take? I'd say Schaller or Spooner but anyone else? probably not. Just have to wait and see who steps up and takes a job.
