I'm not saying it will happen or not. You're the one with the cocky prediction.

It's already been stated how any player who tests positive will be removed from action and treated like an injured player until they test negative
- mr.peanut

I used the word IF twice in that post, it was neither cocky or even a prediction... in any decision making process you must consider the worst case scenario and the likelihood of that scenario actually playing out...

What are the odds a team offer sheets a 2nd pair defenseman?
- mr.peanut

Not good unless you're a willing to overpay by a lot, a trade would be the only way to go.... if you're willing to pay Dunn 7 million and sacrifice 2 first round picks, you should pack it in forever

Oh it could happen, but with the news that it doesn't spread through surfaces kind of helps things.
Kinda of crazy to see how even only 10 players getting it would be so large. I checked and saw that 0.22% of Canada has tested positive, while if roster sizes were 30 (including black aces) 10 players would be at 1.4%.

STL are up to the cap, need to sign Pietrangelo...

Isn't Pietranglo a Leaf already. And, how can MB add Dunn???...Dunn isnt a 3rd line/4th line winger. Isn't THAT the MB add???....MB LOVES those 3rd and 4th line wingers. I think you are way off base here.

Here is how it goes down...

Dunn stays a Blue
Pietrangelo is a Leaf (they told me)
MB add 2 more 4th line wingers and is stoked about it!!!

After this season, I highly doubt a team will give up 7 million for a #4

it depends on the contract. for 3 years no. but for 6 or 7 years? I would absolutely pay 6 or 7M.
if Dunn is good enought to play top 4 on a cup winning team at 23 y/o... I want him for his peak years at 6-7M. no problem.

I guess it could spread fast in a shared locker room or hotel.

You can trade for him and sign him to a more reasonable average as opposed to overpaying while giving up a 1st, 2nd and 3rd round pick

sure, never said otherwise. but even if you trade for him, you won't sign him for 7 years for cheap

I dont think anyone wants a player to get sick but it’s highly possible that it will happen and it’s insanely important that the league gets it right and is ready for such a possibility. You do not want to lose a player like they did during the spanish flu pandemic when Joe Hall died of pneumonia brought on by the spanish flu.

As for my political opinions, I don’t think I go too far or too heavy on them and a blog is most of the time an opinion piece. We do not have to all agree but I’m not going to refrain from saying what I think I’m afraid.
