Assuming he actually was hit COVID that hard, it might be a long process for him to get back into 'game shape' let alone getting actual icetime to develop.

I got the stink eye look from plenty of women last night.

Rathbone has already shown me enough to where I think he'll be a NHLer in his limited time. OJ still has a long way to go. And unlike Rathbone, he doesn't have time on his side. Imho, if we could only protect one D of the two in the expansion draft, it would be Rathbone without hesitation. I think he eventually will take over the Edler minutes.

Burke made an agreeement with the Thrashers not to pick either Sedin. He actually wanted the Thrashers pick as well (so he'd have the top three picks!) but the Thrashers being an expansion club wanted the "PR" of marketing "we have the number one overall pick". But either Sedin was the 1st & 2nd ranked prospect at the time.

This is the distinction I think doesn't get said enough. Germany has always acknowledged it's attrocities committed by the Nazi regime. Its people largely still feel a sense of war guilt. Obviously it doesn't excuse that behavior during WWII. That didn't (imho) exist in Japan who committed plenty of war crimes for the longest time until I think fairly recently. A hundred thousand civilians were executed after just the Doolittle raid. Not collateral damage but personally executed, tortured, raped. Direct vs indirect action. And that's just war crimes committed after that one raid by Doolittle as retaliation.

OK, this is from a classic video game, but equally appropriate in reply to your post: Stalin: "When you kill one... It is a tragedy. When you kill ten million, it is a statistic." If you want to talk about "self-inflicted wounds", there is a reason why the Russians got plastered so easily at the start of Germany declaring war on Russia. Stalin got rid of much of the officer ranks in the army years earlier. You can have THE most advanced tank in the world at the time (T-34) - *FAR* outclassing anything Germany (or any other country in the world) but if you don't have the proper officers leading the men, you're STILL up **** creek without a paddle.

I think a fitting punishment will be forcing him to watch Leonard Part 6 one thousand times without a break.

You've got a great memory! I first heard the line here (don't know if it's original or who might've said it first, if they had):
