Makar had 50pts in 57 games. The guy is a stud, and totally deserves to win the Calder over Hughes...who had 53pts in 68 games.
Makar: .88 pts per game
Hughes: .78 pts per game
Should've, Could've, Would've..... Calder is chosen based games played, not games that might have been played. Sure, Makar is good, but look at the team he's on.
IMHO, Quinn has had a bigger impact on his team than Makar on his. Quinn wins the Calder by a handful of votes!

Could you imagine winning the lottery only to have it taken away a month later?
I think the riots that would ensue would even make ANTIFA & BLM jealous!

This trade is not only bad but it could go down as one of the worst trades in Canucks history. If Toffoli had multiple years left on his contract at a cheap rate this trade would have been worth it. Madden is playing at a 1st rounder level PLUS giving up the 2nd is highway robbery for LA. Add to the point that we are/were a bubble team with a young core. Also Toffoli isn't exactly a star player either. At the very least Benning should have tried to at least dump Baertschi in the deal instead of Schaller to help with cap space this year.
I think it's a little too early to say with any degree of certainty whether this trade was a bad thing. Bit of a risk for sure, but at 28, Toffoli still has some good years left and is a developed scoring talent that makes us an even more dangerous team. Gotta think JB and company have considered all the angles and thought this through....I hope. Can't believe JB would give up young talent like Madden to trade for a guy he was going to let walk after a handful of games. Gotta think other trades or salary dumps are up and coming. JB has something up his sleeve - I think he will end up signing Toffoli to a multi-year contract.

Sorry but that is not a respectful disagreement. That bit at the end is low.
You basically paraphrased me to disagree with me.
Your method of interaction is disingenuous. I'm not going to respond to you any further so you can strawman the heck out of it.(as usual by the looks of it)
If you misunderstood something I said, I would have been happy to explain my point. Unfortunate that you take offense so easily.
For those who understand, no explanation is necessary, but those who refuse to understand, no explanation is possible.

Part of the reason that celebrities and pro athletes make the money they do is that you live your life under the scrutiny of public opinion. It was Leipsic’s responsibility to represent both himself and the franchise according to the team’s code of conduct. You can argue legality vs morality all you want, but his contract stipulates following the code and he didn’t. If your job asks you to dress in a suit and you show up in khakis, is that social totalitarianism or a workplace violation?
Also, the argument that a digital medium somehow lends itself to leniency is laughable. If he’d written all this in a letter to a pen pal and had it intercepted would it make it any different?
My point wasn't about the legitimacy of any specific code of conduct created/enforced by the Capitals, so I don't disagree with your premise that Leipsic's responsibility was to represent himself within the bounds of such a code. He placed himself under that code and should be held accountable to it. But again, that's not the point I was making.
Neither was I attempting to make a case for leniency due to the medium through which the speech crime occurred. With all due respect, that is your assumption only.
My point was highlighting the hypocrisy of society's policing of certain speech crimes under the banner of tolerance and inclusiveness and the definition of right/wrong speech being determined solely on the basis of majority consensus, hence totalitarian control of society by consent. Right or wrong, any such code of conduct implemented by every NHL team would then be a natural outflow of such consensus.

Where I work, we have an employee Code of Conduct form that all employees must sign. That is standard in many workplaces.
Society didn't cut ties with leipsic, the Washington Capitols did. The rest of the NHL probably won't touch him either. Their growth in the States supersedes all and they won't allow a low level player to negatively impact it. That is what he is a victim of.
As far as society judging and condemning him goes, i see many posters on this site defending him.
I would respectfully disagree with you. Legal code of conducts are to ensure that employees don't "offend" other employees, embarrass the company or tarnish the company image. Legality isn't necessarily a universal guide for proper behavior, but what's proper to those in charge.
I could be wrong, but I suspect that the Washington Capitals didn't necessarily cut ties with Leipsic because of the personal moral stance of it's owners. What's more probable is the club's fear of loosing fans and the public backlash and lynching of their their franchise.

Just a thought. With the talk of the NHL getting restarted and using hub cities and empty arenas, Wouldn’t it be possible to dub in crowd noises and cheers for your favourite team? I am no tech guy but surely it is possible to have fans call in or login to a site record yourself cheering and maybe singing some of the celebration songs and merge them together with thousands of other fans to form a virtual home team crowd. It could work as a fundraiser for those arena employees displaced because of COVID-19 or go towards the teams charity. Fans could submit their cheer or their noise for a fee. The crowd noise could be piped into the arenas through the sound systems and be in sync with who the home team is designated for that game. It would be a win win the players and the fans, giving them a virtual crowd to listen to instead of a lack lustre silence of an empty rink, akin to a rec hockey game.
Pipe dream or possible?
The MSM creates their news this way so why not the NHL...

Nope.
This is totally inappropriate talk in this day and age. If you don't understand that, you probably should try harder to. I hope you're young and that explains why you don't get why this is not ok.
Most real people don't talk like this. It's offensive and hate fuelled.
Leipsic's comments are inappropriate in any day and age.
However, its a slippery slope when society begins to police the personal expression of opinion or speech, no matter how hateful, improper, or offensive such speech is to our sensibilities. Leipsic has made himself the latest sacrifice lamb to be slaughtered on society's altar of "tolerance" and "inclusiveness," yet for some reason, society lost it's desire for blood and became more forgiving about Trudeau's multiple black-face obscenities. But alas, like wearing masks in public, such social hypocrisy has become the new norm.
Leipsic should be called out for his comments, that much is certain. However, there's a fine line between making one accountable for socially inappropriate comments and embracing a form of social totalitarianism that's established by majority consent.

There are plenty of good reasons to not impose martial law but unfortunately your tinfoil hat conspiracies are just going to make people more in favor of it.
Instead of rejecting that which you don't know and so reject, it might be a good time to educate yourself on argumentative logic and the use of psychology in Hegelian Dialectic philosophy.

i don't see the need to keep demko if we are going to sign markstrom long term. i also don't think we will get a good roster player for him, and i also am not wanting draft picks(as i don't think we can get a first for him) .its not that i don't think he has no value. i like him and i think down the road he can be valuable. we also have DiPietro pushing in the next bit. so what if we use demko as a cap dump. even if we have to add a bit more to get this accomplished. san jose has no real bonafide goalie prospects coming up. demko is from the west coast of the states.
my proposal
eriksson, demko, 3rd to san jose for a 6th

Psychological programing of the masses to welcome totalitarian manipulation and control...all for our own good of course! This is nothing but a well-planned execution of a Hegelian Dialectic process where a problem is created so that the masses will willingly embrace "solution". Baby steps at first, then comes the hammer. There's darker forces at work here people...resist the urge to surrender to the irrational fear and hype.
"We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false” — William Casey Director of the C.I.A. at an early February 1981 meeting of the newly elected President Reagan in the Roosevelt Room of the WH with his new cabinet secretaries." (confirmed by Barbara Honnager, Nov 25, 2014)
Understand what you'll get in martial law. The suspension of the Canadian Constitution and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. All your rights, all your freedoms you now enjoy, gone! Complete control of your person, family and life. Only to be given back if, and when THEY decide you deserve them back.
Supposed virus or not....HELL NO TO MARTIAL LAW!!!

Excuse me if I take the word of an internationally recognized expert in infectious disease epidemiology instead of a random CDC poster.
As for your death rate outside of wuhan? The death rate outside of china is at 3% right now. Pretty much in line with the worldwide number of 3.6%
.04% is way off base
That was a typo.....I meant to type 4%, not .04%.
That being as it may, perspective is everything. Since you obviously had the intelligence to read the Center for Disease Control information I used to authenticate and support my perspective, the false dichotomy you created in order to discard my opinion as "a random CDC poster" is moot.
As a side note, we may have Canuck fans from the CDC who like to hang out on our forums!

washing your hands and sticking your head in the sand isnt gonna work on this airborne virus.
I would suggest you take your own advice and educate yourself. No one is suggesting that this strain isn't more easily contracted than strains, nor is anyone implying that COVIND-19 doesn't pose a threat. Those are really straw-man arguments that employ half-truths, the theoretical unknown and peer pressure to brow-beat opposition into silent submission. In such an environment, a balanced perspective is as hard to find as finding chastity in a brothel.
According to the CDC, since Oct 1, 2019, 34-49 million cases of the common flu world-wide and upwards of 20,000 - 52,000 people have died it. On average 45,000-50,000 people die every month from the common flu.
With this COVIND-19 strain, over the last 6 weeks or so, there's been 126,000 *reported* cases with 4,600 corresponding deaths. This initially seems to indicate that COVIND-19 has a higher death rate per capita than the common flue, but it must be remembered however that most of those deaths are occurring in China and the developing world. If Chinese reports are to be accepted as authoritative, 96% of all deaths from this virus has occurred in Wuhan. Outside Wuhan, the death rate drops to 4%. Even with common flu vaccines readily available, more people have died from the flu over the 6 weeks than COVIND-19.

So stay alert, wash your hands, touch your face, take your head out of the sand and educate yourself.

Please stop spreading the fear mongering. It will be OK.
Agreed!
If the official numbers are to be believed, there's been 4,600 deaths from the coronavirus covind-19 strain since it started in mid-late February. However, for over a generation now, there are approximately 42,000 deaths world-wide from the common flu, yet they haven't closed stadiums, cancelled playoffs, restricted travel etc.. Way too much fearmongering, even to the point of psychological abuse of the masses by the "official" voices. One has to ask...why?
