From the sound of it, the coaching change was the major portion of the reset, I wouldn't expect too much more. They still need about 10 more players for the AHL, plus the Canucks RFA's.

I know I was being sarcastic. I think most fans realized that with the cap going down it was going to be tough for Gillis to really make drastic change to the roster without making a huge trade or two. (which is easier said then done)

Hopefully Torts can implement a system that works with the roster and hopefully the players buy in quickly. I think there will be a lot of added pressure on guys like Booth, Kassian, Scroeder, Edler and Bieksa. Those guys need to be better this year for this team to be successful.

I also think Gillis is banking on one or two of the rookies to step in an make an impact so there should be some pressure on guys like Gaunce, Jensen, Horvat and Shirnkraut to have a good camp.

I think this will be an interesting year.

So being of the right makes you a racist because your not a Liberal? Seems pretty quick to call him out as a racist because he is not of the left. I don't come here to debate politics and I really don't like Tim but being a conservative doesn't make you a racist.

Being a conservative doesn't make you a racist, but you must admit that the majority of racists are conservative.

Derek Roy just signed a 1 year deal for $4m with the Blues. So much for the multi year $5m+ deal he was hoping for...

Interesting how anyone could take that interpretation. No where did I insulate that in the least.

That is hyper-oversimplification or simple desperation.

I wasn't going to be the one who said it as he was already categorizing me but you could go a step further and say that, while true, most racists would be Republican/Conservative.... those in the Tea Party (Which Thomas is) has a much larger representation of racism.

I can't believe there is even an argument.

Stupid yahoo fantasy jerks.

Twice I've had to reset my password and already got hit hard because I couldnt edit my team the other day. I should be ahead in a couple more categories.

Wankers.
