  1. Good for Sven. Some resolve! And by interviews from Johnson down in Utica? Also showed up, played hard. Was healthy again. Had a great attitude with the kids for the Comets! No, @janisahockeynut its not likely at 26 he will retire & give up $3.6 mill in guaranteed money. Also great that he is clear he has to bust his nut, show up, re earn what he once had. Even better, he's confident he can do it. Not his fault Benning overloaded on contracts. Presumably to ensure we had a healthy line up.
  2. We should be able to vote a beer & a LOL emoji for this!
  3. We would be doing Edmonton a favor. Larsson is UFA in 12 months. Its just not a trade we should entertain for Demko. I dont think value is completely horrible? We could get more selling each of Stecher, Pearson & Demko independently.
  4. This video makes me laugh. So good tho...
  5. Cpl pieces by this band in our Canadian What are You Listening Too. Some newer (?) stuffl
  6. You need to come around more often @debluvscanucks Headstones crank!
  7. Come next regular season? I can volunteer, if it is helpful, to do some day to day for some of the day to day logging. Example line up changes. I don't really want to be part of the exec; ie policy, accept or reject trades. And the time difference makes it impossible for me to run major events like the draft or trade deadline. Just help...
  8. What dyu think the odd's of Pietrangelo re=signing without an NTC/NMC are? Tell us about THAT swap please...
  9. In the world of management & scouting? There are exceptions. But most are allowed to interview. Released from their contracts for better opportunities. Nobody wants to stand in the way. I doubt it would be any different if a guy wanted to resign. Get someone new in to be a willing part of the team. Save wasted salary. If Brackett was truly upset? I doubt he would still be here. And if he was not still valued, equally he would have been fired. Even if they had to payout a contract.
  10. Never mind Weisbrod for a moment, Benning is the GM. Brackett the head scout. As GM, Benning deploys Brackett & takes on board his information, opinion, work. Also set the framework by which Brackett & his team work. It is still Benning's responsibility to facilitate how decisions are made. Make it himself, even in spite of Brackett's input. Or let Brackett decide, the team as a whole? Its still Benning's decision, responsibility regardless. Therefore the underscored means nothing.
  11. Has anyone said he is leaving? Tons have speculated he would leave. But I do not believe he has resigned, or been relieved. So he is still working?
  12. True enough. I'm not usually squirly in these threads. I should not post such stuff. Being transparemt >> I liked the McCann pick at the time. It still was not a bad pick even now! Aside from knowing now what Pastrnak became.
  13. OK smokers are not more susceptible to Covid??? I don't recommend spreading that advice. You were also on the high horse about the right to own guns. https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/shooting-over-dining-area-closure-hurts-3-mcdonald-s-workers-1.4928803 Turns out the right to own a gun also allows one to protest rules about restaurants being closed due to corona virus. By shooting the employee's.
  14. Best thing ever from Tempe Arizona? Ladies & Gentleman The Gin Blossoms! I traveled from Van all the way to the Gorge Oregon to see this band once. They bailed on the festival? Still love em'. Most popular cut
  15. The statistics say kids can and do catch Covid19. Some get sick? (They do.) If I was like George. High risk due to asthma. I does not matter if its asthma, heart problems? Or I had elderly parents at home. Any high risk? I would not send my kids to school either. The statistics also say the % of kids who get Covid at all is substantially smaller than the general population & high risk population. Covid does not have the same cluster risk as it does in other elements of society. It forms a portion of the herd immunity theory. And you need a % of the healthy population out & about. Hopefully that is the teachers? For the same reason. And to get the economy started. That is the argument anyway.
