  1. Not a lot of risk as long as the full salary can be buried in the minors.
  2. Latvia is still battling hard. Hard not to respect the compete level of these kids.
  3. Part of what made the OEL trade sting less was seeing Johnson and McTavish off the board.
  4. I've seen plenty of very slow starts even in December that would cost Canada against a quality opponent. This is nothing new.
  5. I had that thought at the end of the first period too. Maybe splitting McTavish and Bedard might help get more balance.
  6. Unfortunately, I woke up immediately after.
  7. Burden of proof is on the person making the claim. If I claim I went out on a date with Caroline Cameron, people are going to be requesting proof, and me suggesting there is no proof that I didn't isn't going to convince anyone.
  8. I'm with you. I haven't missed a tournament since Red Deer and will still watch, but probably wouldn't if Bedard wasn't there.
  9. I agree they were lucky, but sometimes getting rid of a problem in the locker room is worth it, like when pyjama boy left the Islanders. The distraction being gone more than made up for the team being weaker on paper. Getting those two scumbags off the Flames could have a similar effect.
  10. I'll make a one time exception for someone who goes to rehab, but even then they need to get some time behind bars.
  11. New ad campaign upcoming with him in the back of an Uber.
  12. It is also undeniable that Gillis was gifted quality players by actually qualified management, and then left the team in horrible shape due to his gross incompetence. Gillis was nowhere near excellent and I wouldn't trust that moron to run a Burger King. Benning wasn't great, but no one was going to be able to undo the damage caused by Gillis.
  13. Gillis was definitely not forward thinking. He chose to cripple the franchise by retaining salary on the Luongo trade, instead of using a compliance buyout like anything with a functioning brain would have done. That idiot was easily the worse GM in the history of our franchise and was not ever qualified for any job in hockey ops.
  14. I'm at the stage where I'd like new management. The Kikuchi signing was reasonable at the time, but right now his best quality is that he has a pulse. They badly needed to add another front of the rotation guy, and didn't have the balls to do so. Instead, management couldn't decide who they wanted behind the plate and kept everyone.
  15. Figured he'd get along well with Watson.
  16. Unless the + is Pettersson or Hughes, no one who has 1OA will be moving it.
  17. They could afford Miller at 50% retained as a rental. Sadly they've already emptied their cupboards.
  18. Sneaky way of deferring the cap since their window is closing anyway.
