oh yeah, that grill is awesome. Even the hot dogs are amazing. Last time I was there I went with the Dog with mounds of caramelized onions.

I have yet to go down to Colorado for golf, but thats not a bad idea. I usually go down to Montana (whitefish area) once a summer for a golf trip. There are some unreal courses down there and you cant beat the price of booze on the course. 10 bucks for a 6 back of beer in a bag of ice....ill take 2 please

Yeah 12 of us go to MT every year as well. Love the courses, my fav is the North course right in Whitefish. The best patio as well.

I agree with the buns, they fall apart really fast if you man handle your burger, but once you get a hold of it, you really cant put it down or else the whole thing falls apart.

Still great regardless of the bun situation

Not just me then. I got the cocked eyebrow and a head shake from my buddy when we went. Not a deal breaker and a tasty burger otherwise but kind of disappointing nonetheless.

The shake made up for it.

Yea I'm also surprised that Shlemko is unsigned any where
Is Wilson a major upgrade from Schlemko? I'd rather bring him back since we know what we're getting and especially for depth, you want someone who can stay healthy to step in whenever there's an injury to one of the core d-men

If he can stay healthy and play like he did in the O he might fill that #3 pairing well.....or his career is over and he won't matter.

They aren't paying that much for a backup ....they might trade for Ortio but the other two make too much money to get sitting on the bench

Although I LOVE the idea of dealing with the traffic jam the Flames have in the crease, AND divesting the team of one of its nearly immovable contracts, Tampa Bay doesn't have the necessary cap space(regardless how much the Flames retain), and Raymond would have to waive his "no-movement" clause.

Tampa Bay has the least available cap space in the league.

I’m saying it’s an interesting trade scenario. The Tampa Bay lightning have 2 potential number one goalies with their backup goalie being better than both Hiller and Ramo. Ortio has looked great but are you telling me you wouldn’t trade Ortio for Andrei Vasilevski? Or Hiller + for Bishop (obliviously be more to both trades)? One of these goalies will not be on the team at the start of next year and my guess is its Bishop. Don’t get me wrong I would love to see a goalie combination that consisted of Bishop Ortio but I’m pretty much agreeing Tampa is not a good trade partner.

We would have to add something else substantial. Vasilevski is valued a lot more than Ortio.

Why is Tampa trading their proven starter or future starter ?

This is just a theory of course but with Tampa having to sign Stamkos and Drouin in the next little bit, they will need to get some cap space in order to do so. If you have a goalie that is just as capable then removing 6 million off your books might be the way to make that happen. These web sites below have the same similar belief, and actually bring up a trade involving Ramo to Tampa.

So Tampa has negative can space and they are going to take on 4 million for a back up ?
Tampa is a contender and won't be trading bishop unless they are sure AV is ready to take over
