Mafia - Karen & The Cancel Culture Cronies - MAFIA WIN!

Towncore is Sharpshooter, GoCanucks16, and luckylager? Probably means Aladeen or Zfetch is scum. Let's vote Aladeen or Zfetch. -

Many schools and extracurriculars actively promote anti-bullying, genuine acceptance beyond tolerance for individuality and differences, treating others how you and how they would like to be treated, etc. I don't think these "mistakes" come down to ignorance or youth. I mean, you don't accidentally target somebody for a period of years because you don't know any better; you do so because you can get away with it when you're surrounded by passive peers, a seemingly passive school administration, and when your victim is unable to defend themselves in an effective manner, much like the victim in this situation. Even if we are to entertain the possibility that he had some underlying issues, why not bring them to surface and say his behaviour may have been a result of whatever he was dealing with? NHL teams asked him about this story. He declined to comment or elaborate on these incidents. In addition to that, he's never personally apologized to the victim himself. This does not scream a young man that's genuinely resentful or learning from the situation. You talk about Miller's future but what about the future of the victim? The worst thing that could have happened to Miller was being denied a future in professional hockey, like as if that isn't already the future for so many minor hockey players. Not to mention, think of how many talented players get passed up because of size, motivation, character, etc without disgusting pasts. The victim, while already having to face the challenges of being a POC and disabled, has to deal with years of abuse & the aftereffects, and now lives in a reality where his abuser was just granted a career opportunity to achieve a great deal of wealth and notoriety. Miller's life without hockey is just that - a life without hockey. He might have a reputation that follows but he certainly won't be passed over for employment opportunities, or relationships, or any other part of his life. The victim cannot say the same. Nobody wants the kid thrown away or sent to some purgatory that's void of forgiveness. There's just noticeable outrage that a $&!#ty person isn't being held accountable for their actions and how the minimum punishment (which would have been teams doing the ethical and moral thing by passing up on this guy) wasn't even given.

To accommodate these moves, Paul Campbell will be sent down for another year of junior/AHL. Also send down Gabriel Dollery and recall Brendan Klee
-
Big welcome to Claude Giroux and Tuukka Rask. They should do nicely to help the team out.
-
One of the most heinous things this kid could have done and his punishment was..a fall in his draft? The NHL and its teams are a joke. For all the "hockey is for everyone" talk and the extent to which men who make up the front offices value things like "character" and how much of a privilege it is to play hockey at the highest level, I could only wonder what types of mental gymnastics the Coyotes must have done to rationalize this. Not even two months or so removed from halting the playoffs to discuss racism and this is their response to a situation where they could shown what they "learned". Pathetic.

[Signing] Canucks sign Jayce Hawryluk
AV. replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
This point right here is a lot truer than most people think. I like the player and I think he'll complement our fourth line nicely, but let's stop acting like he's some Barclay Goodrow/Chandler Stephenson/Joakim Nordstrom type bottom-six player that's about to transform this team. Ottawa sent a 4th round pick to Nashville to get Watson over bringing back this guy for free. Makes you wonder... -
Final wave of re-signs from the East. Re-offer in UFA if you forgot to send offers. Victor Rask (1 year, 0.700M) has been rescinded and he will enter UFA. Devils Mikkel Bodker 1 5.750 Devils Pavel Zacha 5 5.000 Devils Brock Nelson 1 3.500 Panthers Tyler Johnson 1 5.250 Penguins Tristian Jarry 1 0.700 Red Wings Jonathan Huberdeau 5 6.500 Red Wings Nick Ritchie 3 5.000 Red Wings Henrik Borgstrom 5 3.000 Red Wings Calvin Pickard 1 0.700 Red Wings Joonas Donskoi 3 5.000 Red Wings Max Jones 1 0.900

NR at mid-terms --> 57 at final rankings --> 11 on draft day. Sometimes, you just need to use Bind and Harden up when the going gets tough.
-
It's not the end of the world but Leivo at 875K (down from 1.5M) is the type of deal we should have been matching. With us not exhausting the buy-out, you'd have to think Baertschi features in the plans this season, barring some deal.

[Signing] Flames sign Joakim Nordstrom

Bozak isn't a bottom six player even if he plays on a "third-line". Not sure what's so hard to understand about this. Roussel/Beagle/Ferland were all bottom six guys. As for the second part, I'm not really sure what the point is of whatever you're on about. Like, sure I'm not a scout but I've watched hockey long enough to know who is good at what they do. -

Whoever published this report is out to lunch on the Schmidt note but they're absolutely correct in asserting that the cap prevented us from re-signing guys.
-
We must have felt his injuries presented too many concerns. Can't seem to think about why we wouldn't have tried to re-sign him for this price otherwise.

Just 875K? Hmm...

[Signing] Maple Leafs re-sign Travis Dermott
AV. replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Well, did Naslund ever go on record to talk about the presence of Messier in the same way that Kesler went on record to talk about Sundin? Also, very questionable to suggest that Sundin wasn't a top 5 C of his era. I'd say only Forsberg/Sakic/Modano were clear of him, with Fedorov and Lindros on par or not too far behind. I wouldn't really put names like Yzerman, Lemieux , and Messier into the mix because a good portion of their careers had been played during the 1980s even if they officially ended things in the mid-2000s. Not trying to start a debate but Sundin was as legit as they came and I don't think he's a marginal HHOFer either. -
[Signing] Flames sign Nikita Nesterov
AV. replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Good move. This tells me that a lot of the NHL free-agency defenders may be looking for a bit more than league minimum. Smart of Treliving to think outside of the box and bring him in on a very safe deal, that others have mentioned, is fairly risk free. Another day in the office for Sir Treliving. -
[Signing] Maple Leafs re-sign Travis Dermott
AV. replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Yes. The timing of the Tavares signing was suspect, especially since the team didn't have their other core pieces locked up. I don't think it's a surprise that their best playoff showings were in 2017 and 2018 as they had much more depth in their forward and defence groups compared to 2019 and 2020. They're slowly getting back to a deeper team with the moves they're making this year. Let's see if it pays off. -

His original point was to say that my "eye test" wasn't good. I understand that myself and everyone else are not experts per se, but I don't see the point of lying about this and why everyone else would be too. -

A family site that allows pictures of middle fingers to be used a response against users? Not surprised the mods "missed" this. -

We'll see. They've add nice elements to their team that they haven't had before, at least not since Dubas took over. If they manage to add Perry/Weegar/both, their lineup is suddenly looking fairly strong.
