He's had the best shot suppression numbers of any of our regular bottom-6 guys the past 2 years. He was ridiculously unlucky on offense last year and that's unlikely a trend that'll continue. I'd count him as a good bet to bounce back and hit 20 points next year. If not that, he'll at least provide great shelter to our AHL team.

I just can't understand how an individual can rip apart the AHL like he does, and be so absolutely snake bit in the NHL. In my mind the kid should be a 10-15 goal threat based on his AHL pedigree.

For one, he's not a criminal... I also like that unlike Hitlery, he isn't a puppet who is funded by incredibly large corporations, and countries that hate women, and homosexuals... It's also cool that he wasn't part of a rigged election.

You continue to dodge my question (just like democrats do). What does Hitlery have to offer?

Herr Laughs and Comrade McSaviour. You two might as well be arguing the relative merits of Hitler and Stalin's foreign relationship policies. Both candidates are seriously flawed and neither has really explained how they are going to accomplish any of the promises they continue to make. The greatest tragedy of this upcoming election is that they can't both lose.

Linemates and usage have a lot to do with it. This last year is a special level of snake-bitten obviously, but when you're relied upon to play the types of minutes this team has tasked its 4th liners with, you can't expect much in the way of offense. If he was a RH shot, he'd have been given the PP time rather than Letestu and we likely wouldn't be having this discussion.

He's proven capable of producing on the PP (in front of the net), he can win faceoffs at a rate above average, has solid shot-suppression numbers, was an excellent PKer, and won't cost us all that much to retain. I see now downside to playing him at 4C now that we've added a few more capable RH shots (Larsson, Kassian, and PUJU).

If not him, I'd hope they grab a guy like McNeill from Chicago. Big body, RH shot, produces well in the AHL, and is noted having a strong two-way game.

Well they can... There could be an independent run and win. Especially considering both are seen as untrustworthy... Hillary hitting a record in the "untrustworthy polls" I do believe.

Bogdan has been a bit of a disappointment for sure. I had hoped he'd turn into that physical 3C that the Oil could really use.
- Wildschwein

The problem there is he was never a particularly physical player. Unless they could add snarl to his game, but I find typically you either have it or you don't.

An independent could win, but I doubt it will happen. This year will be the year if ever though.

Needs to go on the Grant Fuhr supplement program.

I'd like to give Lander one more chance. If he can't produce some offence this year I'd just as soon not see him the year after.

I'm sure we could find a better option in free agency.

Nice dodge. You haven't said anything truly positive about Drumph, only indirectly said negative things about Clinton. Try again.

I don;t know though. He has never been able to put together any sort of sustained offense for any other coach in the NHL.

Just to be clear. What charges has "Hitlery" been convicted of? Indicted?

An easy search shows that Drumph has been named in over 150 federal lawsuits. He lost a anti-trust lawsuit that was filed by the Dept of Justice. He also lost fraud and breach cases.

Cause there's nothing positive to be said.
Maybe that he's NOT part of the broken political establishment as a positive I guess ?
But the same could be said about millions of other people totally unfit to be president as well

It's nearly impossible to defend Clinton really. She's status quo and full of sh1t. And that's putting it nicely.

But when the alternative is narcissist, racist, thin skinned, fear mongering trump- it's almost like the decision is made for us. Hillarys political polish really shouldn't be used a plus, but every time I listen to Donald attack a detractor or wade into a conversation about something real, I cringe with embarrassment for him and that party.

Maybe Johnson I guess. Libertarians have an interesting ethos. But so much of it is based on an ideal world, or that there's no such thing as greed, and no sense of community whatsoever.

I can't vote in Murica so it really don't matter, but it fees like the only rational choice is Clinton sadly

Nothing about this election has been rational thus far, why start now?
IMO this is how the Trump/Hillary question should be settled. Kinda fits in with how things have progressed to this point.

Well said. Fukin circus sideshow with the two worst nominees ever.

A liar vs a total piece of sh1t

And yeah, rationality hasn't been part of the equation for a year now, so I guess why start thinking that way now?
Not sure if it's more funny or scary how fuked it all is

Another refusal to answer my question... Now I get it... You're playing a joke, and it's an alt account, because nobody can dodge a question that often... Not even a democrat.

What would make Hillary a great president? She can't even use an email for Christ's sake.
