  1. Things will escalate. In Italy, someone who has tested positive for coronavirus? Caught outside faces 5 years in jail. The army enforced lock down in China. People are not being allowed to leave cruise ships here in Australia, In spite of / actually because of the fact there were positive cases on board. The ship argued they needed medical treatment. Did not matter. They presumed the 2700 on board had potential to impact 10,000 or more in the case of weeks. After one cruise ship was allowed to disembark last week in the single biggest contributor to Australian cases. As cases become known in various area's. They will be locked down. You will be locked down when it circulates in your neighborhood. Bet on it. Penalties will get more severe.
  2. Here in Australia, its been 7 or 9 days since mandatory quarantine on re-arrival in the Country came in to play. They have hired 500 extra police in one state. Specifically to police compliance. Included, you sign in with Faace time as you clear customs. These officers are dace timing all returnee's, to see if they are at home. If they dont answer? They go visit. Fines are tens of thousands. Someone told me, a complete lockdown, in China, they jusst shot people in the streets?
  3. Coolest thing about it is a super competitive 1st round. Play teams at your same calibre. Reward of a possible bye, or get to lose a round and stay in it if you are a top 4 team. Do or die for teams 5 thru 8.
  4. My media skills are bad. That was supposed to be a video about snorting pepper. Funny topic. I made u a good offer for Kuzzy...
  5. Its a function of not having RHD prospects to elevate on ELC's. So we got Myer as a UFA. I almost never go backwards, i liked the deal at the time. We traded the pick that became Rasmus Andersson (If I'm not mistaken) for Baertschi. But the point is you still need to draft RHD, and often enough you nail it. Because all will not hit! Hughes wont be on $7 mill next year yet. And if it is 2021/22, who says that Edler, near 35, and no longer collecting PP points will command $6 mill? Mind you, Hughes will command more... If we carry 8 D on a 23 man roster? Benning's preferred configuration. 34.78% of the cap should be D. Or $28.34 mill. So $30 is not over by much. And if u are to spend overspend? Competent RHD are the rarest & hardest to fill slots in the NHL. Its not perfect. Just what it is.
  6. In Aussie Rules they have an interesting system. Head to head with top 4 teams, winner gets a Bye. Its an 8 team play off. Teams 5 thru 8 also play sudden death in round one. Winner playing losers from top 4 in 2knd round. Here is an adaptation for our application with 8 per conference. 1st round single game. 2knd round best of 3. 3rd round best of 5. Semi Final & Grand Final (Stanley Cup) best of 7. 1st round single game 1 Carolina versus 4 NYR, winner gets a bye (lets assume Carolina wins ) 2 Boston versus 3 Florida, winner gets a bye (lets assume Boston wins ) 5 Detroit versus 8 CBJ, loser is out (meh, I tip to win Salter ) 6 Islanders versus 7 Philly, loser is out (Going with a Philly win here ) 2knd Round best of 3 Detroit versus Florida I'm tipping Florida NYR versus Philly I'm tipping, against good judgement, NYR 3rd round best of 5 Carolins versus NYR Tipping Master Mind again Boston versus Florida Florida stands NO chance! Eastern Final best of 7 Boston versus NYR Too bad MM traded Malkin, Boston wins in 4, Crosby series MVP Stanley Cup best of 7 Boston versus @thejazz97 who beat @Watermelons in the West final. Winner the Silver Surfer 66!
  7. Why would we buy out Myers? I don't agree. Over 21 minute a night mobile big D, helps get the puck up ice. Not without his flaws, could bury more chances, sure? The net impact is positive IMO. Particularly if Tanev walks UFA. Our top 3 RHD become Stecher, Rafferty & Chatfield. And if we re=sign Tanev, what if he inevetibly gets hurt again? All we would do is go out and sign another Myers RHD...
  8. We should buy out Luongo.and Eriksson. Almost no money owed to Lou. A Full $3 mill against the cap. Baer currently costs us more real money. But his $2.3 against the cap next year (assuming he is still in the minors).
  9. Your 1st post, welcome BTW, could be more noteworthy than this signing?
  10. Hamonic, Stpne & Brodie may all be gone this summer. I'd tip they keep one? And how much longer can Giordano last?
  11. I saw @Ossi Vaananen suggested Josh Maniscalco elsewhere A fluid skating two way physical RHD, with a cannon for a shot? Sounds perfect to me!
  12. Lou was the highest paid player in the world that year. Wasn't even the best goalie in that series. I'd say its fair Linden left more on the ice at the SCF in a losing cause.
  13. 154 goals his first 3 regular seasons with Vancouver...
  14. Problem with Lou and many of those comparisons? They dominated, were the best player on the ice when it mattered most.
  15. Still rating best player. Physically, no one compared, no one could stop Pavel Bure. The most dominating skater ever to step foot on Vancouver ice. If they were throwing stick in the circle... Still nominating Kesler. Same theory.
  16. Man, what a singing voice! Died peacefully in his sleep.
  17. Good luck with that? Miller is one of the best blue chip athletes in recent years. Hard to trade for him without a lottery pick caliber return headed to the Rags.. Rathbone has a sweet progression curve. But wont attract Miller.
  18. @xereau Love the Pat Quinn nomination. I may rethink Kess. It fits!
  19. Are you insinuating John Garrett == a 1st?
  20. Was going through some team lists. How many years ago was it Bostn @JE14 , who is obviously good at this hockey pool thing, won the league? His list is chock full of, at the time, secondary draft picks and prospects. That are now emerging as premium assets; example Fagemo & Dugan. Dorofeyev, Kaprizov & lots more. No rebuild and one of the best prospect pools..
