    All the best, smokes....hope this turns out well for you.  Must be kind of scary to see things come to a shutdown?

    It's a little scary but I'm in an apartment full of expats so we are all getting together in our apartments. The people here are still celebrating the Spring Festival at home as if nothing is happening so we are taking a cue from the locals to do the same.

    Is it as bad as social media is showing.  Or is it contained and nothing to see here as authorities are trying to claim??

    It's calmed down a lot. The people in the city are all at home and only going out for food. Even then they just go and get back as quickly as possible. All public transportation and ways in and out of the city are shut down. The hospitals from social media here shows that they are full and a little chaotic there but in the city, people are bunkered up with family at home. So just waiting it out.

    How is it a downgrade? Demko will be there! No better goalie coach/player then Carey Price! Who still in his prime he still have 6 years of solid goaltending before he starts to slow down imho dont know what your thinking/smoking lol 

    At this point I like Markstrom at his salary more than Price at his salary. So to me, it's a downgrade.

    He's a sore loser. Bad character moment. There are some things you can't do in uniform. There's a REASON why he (and the others) were fined.

     

    Now he's demanded a trade. To me, this screams self-entitlement issues. But sure, I'm sure the underachieving Lias Andersson can't be faulted at all. It's everyone else's fault.

    That wasn't a bad character moment. That was a young kid doing something stupid because he was emotional moment. It's pretty sad that you can sit there and judge someone you don't know as having bad character from something you did saw on TV when you don't even know the kid. That judgement from you is bad character. The kid just wants a fresh start, he's not the only player that has ever demanded a trade. He's a hockey player that you don't even know. Why you attacking him like that?

    Some are disappointed due to the asset giving up for him.  Sure, Hunter Shinkurak is in the KHL... but considering it was a 1st rounder used.... it's poor asset management.  

     

    Better to trade a quantifiable asset (draft picks) for a known asset rather than having the pick depreciate and then trading it away for something less.  

    How is that poor asset management. Granlund already has more NHL games than Shinkurak will ever have.

    Just like Dahlen was tearing it up with Petey in the Swedish league right? Oh, and how the Sedins tore it up with Eriksson for Team Sweden?

    How'd those turn out?

     

    The guy has 9 points in 66 games and hasn't done nearly anything to warrant demanding a trade. 

     

    I'd rather not have sore losing whiners on the team.

     

    When did Petey play with Dahlen play together in the Swedish Elite League? The Sedins met up with Eriksson when all three players were on the decline so that doesn't help.

    Andersson's stock has got to be pretty low so worth a shot.

    I will pretend all day until Jake doesn't surpass Bert when he was 25. 25 years old, 25 goals, 25 assists. Jake could be better than this.

    Jake will always be a different type of player Bertuzzi was. Jake is just too happy and Bert was a brooder who was always in a bad mood. Jake will never impact the game like Betuzzi did that said, I hope he impacts the game in other ways.
