I have a serious, non-trolling question. I assume you're in the union as a police officer. How do you balance voting Republican with that?
- jcragcrumple


I'm also in a union, and Biden and his ilk are calling for the end of our department, which is cabinet level. It's a no brainer. Democrats are no longer going to get 100% backing from unions, especially law enforcement unions.

Well, they didn't just like Konecny, Boeser, Aho, Cirelli, we have made a lot of bad decisions. Time to change that.

The winner of the Leafs/Blue Jackets series is playing the #1 seed, which will be either the Lightning or Flyers, who both look very good, as Broads pointed out.
- kingcong39


Nope, not necessarily
Lowest seed plays the highest seed
It’s not a straight bracket

Wouldn’t bother me a bit. Collective bargaining is maybe the only thing still worth keeping unions. But the good workers would get paid anyway. Unions are dinosaurs.
- Fattony1187


Those same overpaid dinosaurs will keep getting replaced by cheap labor. Why pay a good old cop twice as much as some kid with 3 years of experience, when the budget's cut in half?

Pros and cons, my man. 50, 60+ are forced into retirement, laid off, and say goodbye to pensions.

Any team can trade. Traded players cannot play this season.

Trades are definitely allowed. Simply a formality, as teams are simply not going to make any kind of noteworthy moves without talking to the rest of the league.

Unions are the devil.

Unions need to go away.

Why do you think there are soo many bad employees with places that have unions.

Take the teachers union for example.

we went through the utter embarrassment of watching ror win the cup, the conn smythe and the selke in 2019 after trading him for what constiutes a bag of pucks...not only was his face all over hockey media, but it pretty much punched his ticket to the hall of fame...

toronto winning wouldn't come close to that

- Michael Pachla


But i heard it was a good trade
ROR was “easily replaceable” after all...

Pros

and cons.

They enable (some professions) extremely lazy behavior. The distribution industry is one example. But they also protect employees that do not deserve to be terminated because they've simply exceeded their value, simply because kids will work cheaper.

The teacher's union may be the devil, but those people get half of what they're actually worth, and would get even less w/o a union.

We’ll be better in the long run for it. Cozens will make up for it. And we get another treat 8th overall this year.

I’d try for Copp. But with their depth at Center I would be surprised if he is moved.

He’s been playing mostly on the wing for them before he Scheifele injury

Sabres scored more 4 more goals then the Isles did this year.

Isles are going to the playoffs after beating the high flying offensive Florida Panthers.

Isles may play boring defensive hockey but it’s effective and wins hockey games.
