  1. Personally I would like to keep Tanev, Markstrom, Boeser and Toffoli here. Covid is making that a lot more harder to do though. I have also stated numerously that I don't think we should move someone like Boeser till Lind/Hog/Pod prove that he can be expendable. Unless JB can shed/save cap somethings gotta happen. I hope he can make something work.
  2. I didn’t say we’re trying to dump Boeser. I feel like there’s a misunderstanding here.
  3. Then the GMs have it bad. We will likely see teams trade a lot of assets to keep certain players or just bite the bullet and trade those players. Seattle might be getting a lot of assets too since they are in a position to be everyone’s main option for dumping cap prior to the expansion.
  4. It would be as much of an issue if the cap was increasing. Teams would be more willing to make those deals and it would be cheaper to do under those circumstances. Now the cap is gonna stay the same and it could stay still for a while. Trying to dump a player is gonna cost a lot more. This is why the owners might want to suck it up and have a compliance buyout. They risk losing assets otherwise.
  5. As much as the owners might not like it this is why a compliance buyout would be good to have. Stagnant cap is going to screw over so many GMs.
  6. Yeah at most I see us getting back with a Risto/Dumba Is a mid 2nd/high 3rd or a prospect along those lines. I would rather try to dump cap in the trade like Baer but I doubt a team would want to do that with a stagnant cap.
  7. Age plays a factor too though. If Risto/Dumba we’e closer to his age I would put more emphasis on their value. Also potential plays another value and it can be argued that Boeser hasn’t reached his full potential yet. So overall I value Boeser more than Risto and Dumba but not by much.
  8. Tierney produces in a 40-50 point rate, is good on the dot and in his own zone/PK. He is only 2 years and 93 days older than Gaud. He is a former Horvat teammate in London. He is the equivalent of a Kadri in terms of talent level which is a average 2nd C and he is an RFA at the end of the season. He is and in more likelihood will always be a better 3rd C fit than Gaud.
  9. Perhaps. Depending on the quality of the main player coming back I would want a greater return of younger assets (picks/prospects). The worse the roster player the higher/better the picks/prospects and vice versa. Might be safer to aim for more of a better roster player deal but we potentially free up more cap if we aim for the better prospects/picks
  10. Yeah but they might want another young asset with Boeser or even to swap 1sts. So we’d have to be fine with giving that. It might be a bit more wishful to think for that much for just Boeser. 8th can still be a top prospect and those have high value. If they were dumb/desperate enough to offer that I wouldn’t think twice about it.
  11. I would want Tierney coming back if we deal with Ottawa. Top 3 Centers would be Petey, Bo and Tierney. Gaud would become a RWer. Tierney and some good young assets(better picks/prospects than Buf/Min would have to give)
  12. I would want that with Dumba likewise. We’re giving up the younger player in both instances. We need a young piece coming back.
  13. Fact that is due was an active part of the military is troubling. As someone who wants sensible laws that prevent gun violence instead of a reactionary ban I would want more than just a ban for this guy. This guy was in our military and we couldn’t recognize that he had problems in his head.
  14. He was dealing with mental health issues. He proposed to an ex-gf on social media and the twitch community, mainly the reddit thread "LivestreamFail" ridiculed and made fun of him. He committed suicide less than 48 hours after. He was one of Twitch's first big streamers and a huge figure in the World of Warcraft community. He had a big impact on a lot of the streamers in the community. Reckful’s death leads to Twitch subreddit r/LivestreamFail addressing its history of harassment https://www.gamerevolution.com/news/651870-reckful-death-twitch-reddit-livestreamfail
  15. The context of why he ended up doing it is disgusting and proves how awful a part of the internet/twitch community can be.
  16. Promising clinical trial results for COVID-19 vaccine coming from Vancouver-based biotech company https://www.citynews1130.com/2020/07/01/promising-clinical-trial-results-for-covid-19-vaccine-coming-from-vancouver-based-biotech-company/ 2021 if it works.
  17. bruh why a club during a pandemic when you an NHLer? Just throw get together at the house.
  18. I saw him a couple years ago while I was at Republic night club during the NHL All-Star break. I was going to the bar to get a drink and there he was. He was just leaving with a girl, we had a quick chat, shook hands then he left. It was a flabbergasting experience though IDK if I should be surprised, I have heard stories about some NHLers at the Roxxy.
