My place in society, and also the spatial conundrum of looking below by looking ahead. Am I in orbit?

Doughty is the best defenseman in the league in my opinion.
- MJL

Me too. If he wasn't the best this season, he was long overdue. I think it's insane Weber never won himself within the last 7 seasons.

This Lawson Crouse trade though.....man, is Arizona a (frank)ing stockpile of forward prospects: Domi, Duclair, Keller, Strome, Dvorak, Crouse, Fischer, Merkeley.

Not feasible. You cannot both compliment him and slam him in the same sentence. Hating rival players is also unhealthy. Get well.

Shea Weber should have won it a few years back. Drew Doughty is a top-flight defenseman, and was a worthy choice for Norris. I thought Erik Karlsson, whose defensive shortcomings are way overblown, was better last year overall. But I had no issue with Doughty, as he was a fair choice.

That Dodgers catcher seemed pretty upset to be leaving. I'm sure he's not thrilled with the destination, either, but he seemed pretty crushed at being traded.

Back in 2011, I would have expected that Jimmy, then Chase, would be the last of the gang to die.

So it's been in the past 2 Jets blogs: do you guys think Trouba will be traded? Without having any insider information, it seems like he legitimately doesn't want to be in Winnipeg. If so, what would you be willing to give for him (for like the 8th time)?

Karlsson's defensive shortcoming are overblown by some, but he is not by any means a good defensive player, in fact he slants towards the poor side of defensive play. He's phenomenal offensively and with the puck, but he's not the two way monster that Doughty is, nor was Karlsson better last year overall than Doughty was.

We cant really do that because now we are trading a defensive prospect to Phoenix for Crouse.
