Garrison, sign ufa Bonino, anyone else?

If I was the rest of the league I would be trading for ex Canuck players always . They always seem to win a cup somewhere elseor go deep in the playoffs.

This made my head hurt, without commas in the correct place it reads as if he was a top 2 pick after he had mono, which is the opposite of what you were trying to say.

I've fixed it below.

Not surprising. A lot of teams might feel dumb if they pass over a guy, who was seen as a top-2 pick, after he had mono, only to have him bounce back when healthy.

Sorry Makita.

Well, the bolded is an example of a comma splice.

I've fixed it below.

This made my head hurt. Without commas in the correct place(sic), it reads as if he was a top 2 pick after he had mono, which is the opposite of what you were trying to say.

Alternatively you could have used a semi-colon if you wanted to keep it as one long sentence.

Or maybe remember that this is a hockey board. People here know that the player in question hasn't been drafted yet, and from that context they can pretty easily draw the intended meaning. Also, this is the internet and not a goddamn formal essay.

Lol, even we didn't go through the embarrassment of being swept in the first round ....
We knew better and just gradually folded before that became a possibility.

I'd pick top five then get swept in the first round...

It is still kind of awkward.

I think if you change "after" to "before" it reads better maybe?

Flagged for going too far but you're correct, I should have used a semi-colon instead.
Unfortunately my semi-colon isn't in my quick action Google keyboard, but my coma is.

And the original post literally meant the exact opposite of what you were trying to say, ironic or lazy?

Fragility aide they're close, but Bo is a tank, RNH is a Barbie convertible.

I will add that to the Detroit model, the Leafs model, the Edmonton model, the Nashville model, the Calgary model, the Tampa Bay model and now the Anaheim model.

Quit embarrassing yourself, Red.
Sorry Makita

This year my team finally stopped aiming for a first round sweep, which is step one.

Presidents cup or bust.

In the end, you understood it. Aetherial understood it. Everyone on the board who can read understood it. Bloated Mosquito will have it explained to him.

It's not formal writing, it doesn't really matter, as long as the message is conveyed.

Bo and Dr Dre are built like prototypical 2LC with 1LC upside, RNH is built like a poor man's 1LC, or a 3LC pp specialist alla Sam ganger.

I'd argue that Bo is better at faceoffs, off the rush and along the boards, RNH is a better playmaker and is better at being shattered like old porcelain.
