Sorry Wedgie, That was Bad, Where do you think Timmy lands this year, have you talked to him latley?

Excellent question - and one that I'm not qualified to answer, but maybe our Marlies-watching friends can answer.

Just looking at his Marlies stats from hockeydb.com, it looks like he brought his bad attitude with him to the AHL.

He might be done. With a reduced cap, and the perception that he can't give you anything for your top two lines, why would another team want him? He's not a checker, he's not a grinder (some may disagree with me on the last two, but what-evs).

Hopefully D1ckey, Wang, Johnson can come up huge

OK, so here's something weird:

5 minutes ago, I read a new blog by the Penguins' blogger, musing that it may be time to part ways with Fleury.

Now the blog is gone.

Conspiracy?

I dont think anyone will disagree with you, Connolly is the Most Skilled Lazy Sack Of Sh*t in Hockey. I hope he is done, somone with those skills but NO work ethic does not deserve to Play the Game at All. Like I said though, theres always Feaster....

Interesting.

Sharks re-sign Raffi Torres for three more years, or two more seasons once you subtract the suspensions.

So Stastny for Liles?

Wow, I sure would hate to make this trade.

But I guess you have to give up something really super-awesome to get back a usable player.

It's just sad to finally close the book on the Liles era.

I'll sign the deal, but with a heavy heart.

Huge possibility this is a mistake, and Mike's threads are flooded with Avalanche fans mocking us.

But I guess it's a risk we have to take.

Anyone want to buy a Liles jersey? I have home, away, third and Winter Classic...

Sign the deal quickly before they change their minds!

So the Avalanche need a rapidly-aging healthy scratch, who hasn't been the same since a concussion, with a disproportionately large cap hit?

If that's the case, wouldn't including Komi make the deal twice as good?

I honestly wonder with some of these guys if they just wake up one day and no longer want to play hockey.

He made some pretty good money. He may have managed it well.

Not that I know from personal experience, but I'm imagining playing in the pros could be a real grind. And I imagine the bumps, bruises and nagging pains could really start to add up.

It wouldn't be hard for a guy like Connolly to just lose interest. Faced with working your arse off all summer and hoping to catch on with a bad team to be a depth player, or hanging them up and sleeping in every day at the cottage, the latter choice might seem awful tempting.

erberle and a second for gardiner as a thanks for eakins...

hey if you like staring at lines for hundreds of hours and moving the pencil so slowly while you spin it in your fingers to keep the lead from dulling on one side by all means

the nights where i had hand drafting work to do were usually the nights i got fairly drunk

This was carpenter school.

They make you draw all of your prints by hand, for every one of your projects in shop, and project plans in class. I've had to do full 10 page working sets of prints by hand, borders, title boxes.. Everything. There were definitely some all nighters towards the end of each year.

I'm not very proficient with auto cad, the wife has her drafting / design. Not gonna lie, she drew a few of those prints for me on wing nights.

Good wife.

They're definitely useful people! With Mrs. Lums being an Engineer, there's always a use for her, especially as we set up our own scratch-brew set up!

Sometimes I get to help her out though, its not just a one way street

Just in case people are missing my point, here it is:

Liles is not an asset.

The best you could hope for is that you could give him away for free.

He's a very strong candidate for a compliance buyout.

Please do not include him in any trade proposals.
