What time is it over in the Desert?

You read the same stories I did.

So JB isn't much different then a lot of other GM's

Maybe it was more of a plan then "learning". No one really knows. A lot of GM's with the same issues around the league then.

I've admittedly said Benning is learning to be a better GM, much like Sakic his signings after Eriksson have been better and he's stopped trading away 2nd round picks.

I still don't like him though

I admit that JB's record isn't perfect.

Hoping that Van could still land a top 5 pick this season. I don't feel the need for ANY D in the draft though. It's Dahlin or Boqvist in the top 5 or i'm looking at a forward. If Van was able to pick up another 1st in the 14-20 range. Strongly looking at Jett Woo. He is close to NHL ready.

Messed up. Close friend went and worked in Dubai as a lawyer for a year. He regretted it.

BPA for me and yes I agree on Woo, that's the Moose Jaw Warriors kid if I'm right?

Yes, I see no problems with Legalizing Pot.

The money here is tax free USD, every year here is like working three at home, financially it's a no-brainer. It's not like I'm in a tropical resort though and it's hard on my wife, but we made this decision together and understand the end-game...which is retirement with comfort.

Yah. My buddy paid off his student loans quite quickly.

I actually interviewed with an oil company about 7 years ago to go work over in the middle east. 1 month on, 1 month off. 120,000 USD. Was supposed to go over with a friend but he back out, found out he was having a kid. I don't regret not getting the job. Met the wife 4 months later.

I make a more then comfortable income with the current job.

Bold... Chump change to you I hear.

Colorado quietly having a nice season, suddenly Tanner isn't calling Sakic the worst GM in the league

You can't date your hot dogs. Well Nucker can but usually one can't.

see, that will never work.

to swindle chia, you need to think like chia. he overrates big players with high draft pedigree if you have one of those....

either or. RNH for Tanev doesn't look like enough anymore.

Tanev won't be traded this year unless it is a really really good deal.

You can't talk about mentoring in one sentence and then trade Tanev in the next .

I would like to see our entire 4 th line changed.

At center Winnik Sceviour or Nolan

LW Hendricks D Grant or Archibald

RW Smith-Pelly Hansen Wingles or Drew Stafford.

All these players can be signed for a million. Three mil to fix your fourth line and it would hit and score.
