I don't have kids, and I don't plan on having kids for 2 reasons. First is my wife and I aren't the healthiest people and I wouldnt want to bring in a child into our health issues. Second, despite having a decent job, we dont have enough money to have a kid without government aid. And I will not go on government aid.

Too me you can still be a large part of a kid's life even if you can't be very active. There's a lot you can do in life that wont be affected by PCS. But i would think about all the good the money could do... Best private schools. Tutors. Money to persue any sport they like. Taking them to events they normally wouldnt be able to go to. Giving them life experience in many social situations.... 40 million would just be too much for me to pass up for some headaches and nausia for the rest of my life....

I don't want to have to lead her kindergarten talent show because I looked at a bright light and feel like I'm going to pass out. Just the first thing that comes to mind. To me, you can't put a price on things like that.

for 40 million you could record it.

Besides, at some point you will miss something because you will be at work, or stuck in traffic, or unable to pay for tickets... etc. At least if you had the money, you would be there. Even if you had to step out for a few minutes.

This is very interesting. I think that Raffl has made the team. I think they like his versatility, in that he can play up and down the lineup. So depending on how many forwards the Flyers keep, and if they feel Laughton can play the Wing. Laughton may have made the team also. We'll see.

Hope they both do. Faceoffs taken by the 4th line typically won't be game changers, so I don't think faceoffs are a good reason to play Hall over Laughton.

Trying to think of the lineup.

F - Giroux, Hartnell, Voracek, Schenn Laughton Simmonds, Talbot, Couturier, Read, Hall, Rinaldo, Rosehill, Laughton, Raffl, and 3 more

D - Timonen, Schenn, Coburn, Grossmann, Streit, Gustafsson, Meszaros, Gill, Gervais, MAB, and 3 more

G - Mason, Emery, Danis

Sure I'm missing some obvious ones but not sure who.

Edit:
Newbury, Holmstrom, and Wellwood to F
Lauridsen and Pronger to D. Still missing 1 D

Question. I'm not being sarcastic. Would you willingly take Prongers symptons for the rest of your life for 40 million dollars?
- youarewrong


And be my age or somewhere in my 30's? Either way I still would most likely take it.

My guess is that the Lavi and the Flyers want to get the team in season mood during the final preseason week instead of trying to look at a bunch of different guys. I hope that we Phantoms build a winning mentality this year bcuz it goes a long way in developing young players
