  1. @J.I.A.H.N I like the idea of trying to pry loose Murphy, CHI is going to stink for at least a couple of seasons so they might be open to it. I don't think Brock fits their new core age tho. Maybe we can do something around Rathbone? my guess is Van is on Murphy's 10 team NTC tho. I think we can force Roy from Vegas with the threat of an offer sheet. So we offer a 2023 4th and McDonough or we offer sheet Roy for 3C. As for the other Roy in LA, sure why not? lets get some Roy's.
  2. I get it. If it were my mom I'd likely want that too. Our system does things poorly imo. White collar guys who plan things well in advance and hurt lots of people often get nothing of consequence, maybe a fat fine. Mentally ill people get no treatment and come out worse out of the system and hurt more people. It would be nice if we could balance this out more.
  3. yup thats how I see it too. Either support the current core for the term of Demko's deal, or blow it all up and go for elite talent in the draft. I think something between the two won't bring in enough difference makers, it'll just leave us in the murky middle.
  4. I guess, I just wouldn't expect it to make any kind of difference in crime rates.
  5. I need to see the recent evidence that it works. Show me the new studies that back it up and I'll be with you on it.
  6. wait... what, you're looking for consistency on CDC?
  7. but we know that things like the death penalty an extra harsh sentencing like we see in the US are not deterrents. Should we just do it anyway even though its shown not to work?
  8. thats true, I just think there's a better chance that if "elite" were on the table it would have happened, or it would have been leaked. Yup its a whole new set of conditions once the cup is handed out and 31 other teams do a review of what went sideways.
  9. the person I was responding to loves to trash our country, its fair game to throw some back his way. Let me ask you this: whats the point of the extra punishment you're looking for? is it for a better society or just because you want to see it?
  10. I think we can be pretty confident that we would have either heard of a deal that fell through, or JR would have pulled the trigger if someone truly elite was on offer.
  11. remember the days when Nichushkin was trashed on CDC? Good times. Just shows you can't count some guys out, once the fit is right look out.
  12. but haven't we been down this road? there weren't elite prospects on offer for Miller.
  13. yeah looking though the cap friendly page doesn't really make me interested in anything WSH has to offer... maybe unprotected 1st in 2023 and this years 1st? WSH is picking 20th, might be a decent player there for us but this deal really would be all futures. Coming back from hip resurfacing to play in the NHL just isn't in the cards, he's done.
  14. problem with that way tho Alf is it doesn't get us elite talent, or at least really lessens the chance of it. We have to tank for 1-2 year to get more of that.
  15. but maybe we should? If we don't believe that a core of Miller, Bo, Petey, Demko and Hughes are enough?
  16. uh huh. I don't think we need any lessons from Brasil on how to handle crime.
  17. I've been saying something similar for a while now, its either give this core what it needs to compete (bigger, better d in particular) or blow the mo-fo up. I hear a lot about timing, that Miller must be moved for us to time things correctly for this group. But thats not going to happen if the return is picks and prospects for Miller. No pics for Miller will help within 3-4 years. If we're going to shed Miler, then lets just do it right, trade everyone over 25 not named Demko that we can tank hard for next season. We should be able to get a group of ELCs/RFAs/high picks that allows for a quick turnaround.
