  1. I want Winnipeg to win it, not out of pity, but because the 'Placeholder Team E' that won the first lottery had the 12th best odds by points percentage. Winnipeg would have been that 12th spot by points percentage if the NHL hadn't done this two part lottery BS. So its like Winnipeg kinda deserves the pick they've already 'won' once.
  2. Leafs are gonna end up getting Laf Better than EDM at least. He wouldn't be in our division. Esp since LA picks #2
  3. Reports are saying the port may have housed fireworks. Reports are saying at least 78 dead, over 3000 wounded. You can see and hear the fireworks better in the beginning of this video I'd imagine the first explosion was fireworks but the ammonium nitrate was responsible for the second larger explosion
  4. It wasn't just that he said things about his employer. By tagging his co-workers and Faculty Association, he was saying it to his employer in a publicly viewable space.
  5. He even predicted his co-workers would go to HR to complain. He knew what he was doing and did it anyway. Are his co-worker's symptoms over the top? Maybe. We can't say how different people deal with online criticism. Pyne should have dealt with this internally and if that doesn't work, or if he'd already tried, and this issue is a deal breaker for him, then he should quit. Not complain about the obvious punishment he would receive.
  6. He called out his employer. What did he want? A pat on the back? Most places, if you $&!# on your employer online and tag your colleagues, your ass is fired.
  7. I was using Woo as an example of a player who is playing against kids. I'd say Rathbone is between Juolevi and Woo in terms of readiness based on the competition they played against. But again, several college D-men have recently went straight to the NHL and rocked it. So we never know.
  8. College players are still men. The players in Major Junior are kids. Woo was playing against kids for example. Rathbone was playing against men in college. Not as seasoned men as the AHL, but not kids. Increasingly, more players have come from college and succeeded right away. Just among D-men: McAvoy, Hughes, Fox, Werenski, Makar are all young D from College with none or minimal time in the AHL
  9. Can I cash a pay cheque that's become stale dated (older than 6 months)?

    I found one from December while I was cleaning up. Almost 8 months old now.

      @lmm Business is definitely still up and running. I'm still employed by them. The worry is the company's bank not paying out an old check, isn't it? Does using a machine avoid that?

      if you are still employed, you could just ask for a re-issue. but yes, the machine avoids the hassle that the teller at your bank will give you for a stale cheque.

      I think it’s a YMMV situation.  OT.....even if you put a stop payment on a cheque, there’s a chance (however small) that it’ll clear.  At least I think so in this province.  

  10. The 'Who wants to be a millionaire guy'? Damn.
  11. What's better? 'Sockeye' or 'Sockeyes'? Is Sockeye plural of itself? They both suck.
  12. In the NHL press release announcing the finalists, it revealed that the winner will be revealed during the conference finals
  13. Does Rathbone have any injury history? I know one of our college prospects has a shoulder issue but I think it might be Lockwood I'm thinking of
  14. They probably won't announce winners until after the Stanley Cup is awarded, or it's decided that it can't be awarded (ie. season is cancelled because the hub cities fail to contain COVID)
  15. You mean, ones who were injured thoughout their careers and are now retired? Or come back and post here when players who are prospects now (like Juolevi, Nolan Patrick, etc) who are sick/injured end up having successful careers?
  16. The 21/22 season is the important one because we need to re-sign Petey and Hughes for that season. If we buy out Eriksson this summer, we get negligible savings in 20/21 (but we carry at least 13 forwards on the roster anyway, so in a way we're already carrying his replacement on the books) but we save 2.33M in 21/22. Then we take an almost negligible hit in 22/23 and 23/24 (when hopefully the cap is rising again) Compare this to buying Eriksson out next summer. SEASON INITIAL BASE SALARY INITIAL CAP HIT SIGNING BONUS BUYOUT COST POST-BUYOUT EARNINGS SAVINGS CAP HIT (VAN) 2021-22 $3,000,000 $6,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $2,000,000 $2,000,000 $4,000,000 2022-23 $0 $0 $0 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 -$1,000,000 $1,000,000 TOTAL $3,000,000 $6,000,000 $1,000,000 $2,000,000 $3,000,000 $1,000,000 $5,000,000 We have the full 6M on the books for 20/21 (which is worse than 5.7M). Then we only save 2M (rather than 2.3M) in the important 21/22 season. and an extra hit of 1M (worse than 600K) Buying him out this offseason (September?) seems to makes the most sense from a savings perspective without needing to give up an asset (short of Loui just retiring and removing the entire 6M).
  17. Dhaliwal tweeted that he also has good relationships with Ryan Johnson and Chris Higgins
  18. It's too bad Woo wasn't invited to the training camp. Though I understand that he's under the current AHL D-men and Rathbone on the depth chart
  19. Does Rathbone already have a spot on the Canucks all-time best names team
  20. Nice way of avoiding the more obvious wordplay in his name
