Younger days I would go for it in 2! Now laying up, I’ll take a 5 on #14 everyday!
- Irish 14


Hell with that bean shaped green and the water in front the smart play is still to lay up.

I’ve gotten there in 2 before but that green is tough.

14 is a poorly constructed hole. You hit driver just to lay up with a wedge. Move the tee up and make it a par 4.

I do but this makes it an easier pill to swallow.

CJ Smith a 2021 2nd 2020 5th and a conditional 5th for Miller and Haula would be awesome.

But I’m happy with Miller.

Yeah, both would be better, but I think there's a plan for another C now

I like this a lot!! I also like that Leafs & Flyers fans (post Braun trade) are frustrated that we pulled this off and they didn’t. He’s a top 4 D, 41 points in his last full season (missed some games last year), plays on the right and is signed to a SUPER reasonable deal. F’n awesome. 95% of the defenseman in the league have issues, I’m sure he has a couple, but I love the idea of adding a mid-20’s NHL’er who slots into our top 4 perfectly. Also makes a Risto deal a lot more palatable. Also makes the O’Reilly deal a bit more even. Excited for whatever’s next, go Sabes.

The always Mr. Negative, Mike Harrington, surprisingly called this move by Botterill "savage".

Wow.

An "idiot" that has a job to cover this hockey team.

I'm sure that you think that you can do better, right?

You and so many other self professed know it alls here.

Many of you could use to acquaint yourselves with the word 'humble'.

I swear that some of you must have door openings that are 20 feet tall and 10 feet wide to fit your heads and your egos through.

Humble.
Try it sometime.

Glad you could take a step off your pedestal to come impart your words of wisdom. You feeling like your better then everyone else is even worse then the poopstorm of opinions that fly around here on a daily basis.

Most definitely man. I think we needed it too? It’s been a rough offseason watching ROR go off and passing on Caufield (I love the Cozens pick)...we needed SOMETHING and this definitely feels like something. It works on a few levels and it’s shrewd and it’s FUN!! It’s fun to be in the league-wide conversation and it’s fun to feel like we got better today, no argument, no strings, just got better today.

Guys, no Sam at center please. He’s a RW, and a really solid one. We need real C’s down the middle and we need Sam to just keep getting better and keep being awesome on the right.

Agreed 100%. I also think we need to move Casey to the wing.

I think this is as close as it gets to universal praise. Plus, you know how we like that league-wide feedback and for this deal it’s totally positive (or super negative if you root for a squad that needed a RHD). It’s a good vibe here tonight, and a great way to start the weekend.

Not sure what part of being humble is feeling like someone is better that anyone else?
Jesus has me on even footing with all, not better than.
Using His word to possibly instill some humbleness into some here was my only goal.
I read enough egomaniacal posts here to know that even if you choose to be ignorant and poke fun at His word being delivered by one of His children?
I know that His word is needed here and all that I can do is hope that even one soul here will heed this advice.
Not absorb it negatively.

But of course, you are free to form your own opinion as well, of me.
I spoke truth that I was persuaded by Jesus to impart on some of you here.
The truth will often conjure up replies, just like yours, especially when it hits your own home.
I use to be and egomaniac just like some of you until I gave my life to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Botts is a clown and Jake Jack? ECHL is a mid six center at best.
