I think Chicago would be thrilled to swap Ryan Johnson for Dylan Strome 1 for 1.

It's easy to get sucked in here. I got sucked in on Reinhart because the ignorance and baseless opinions get me all toasty and bothered.

You will not change people's political opinions, you might as well try to revive George Washington from his tomb.

If more people cared about other people's happiness, this country would simply be different. But they don't, because we're free to tell others to (frank) themselves. And that's the attitude of the divide between people who want to fight for others and people who want to fight for themselves.

Back at the trade deadline when I said Chicago and Buffalo were talking and Buffalo tried to get Strome and Kubalik at the time, Johnson was part of the offer back then. I was told Botts wouldn't move of off Kubalik and it killed the deal.

Yeah it's getting bad, this Country has lost its way.

It disgusts me that we even have to classify people as other races. Why we even need to fight for rights. Because humans, at their core, must feel superior in any way possible.

The entirety of written history is littered with racism and discrimination. It has always happened and it always will. What matters, really, and most significantly, is the leadership that can, maybe some day, figure out how to band everyone together instead of continually tear them apart socially, financially, ideologically.

I'm no smarter or dumber or pooptier or holier than anyone else on this planet. But I like to think that having everyone heading in one direction would make this country, truly, the greatest country in the world.

Great post Taco...I feel a large portion of our country is in the same place...hence why the Next Steps need to be identified and acted on...and that is an open and honest discussion at the various Govt levels ...IMO.

Give young tacolette a extra hug and kiss!

Oh I did when I dropped her off at daycare this morning. Then she took her Ducky and jammed it in my mouth and it was the most hilarious thing she's ever thought she's done.

I can't wait for someone to actually express a rational "Next Step" in the process. I may be wrong, but I would say awareness has been raised.
Does anybody have a plan?

I watched oprah special early on after Floyd was murdered, outrage, sadness, and more emotions were expressed for 4 hours over 2 nights. I have yet to hear anything concrete on what specifically needs to change and the plan to get there.

I mean it never should have. That's my point. Somehow at some point, non-whites were inferior as a race. Women were inferior as a gender. Christians were inferior as a religion. Because other human beings thought this was morally and scientifically correct. Because human beings must feel superior, as a species.

This is a switch that can't be turned off in our lifetime.

I've always appreciated the little things. Making a terrible joke, laughing at yourself, having a little harmless fun. And now watching that little girl do these funny little things. It's just refreshing.

How little one's can make you forget what is going on around you, and just make you laugh and happy.

I think Botts was right here. He should have added to make the deal go through, though. Kubalik is going to be a very nice player.

Who brought up Columbus yesterday and Bjorkstrand, that was a interesting observation with who they have to sign. Hope Adams has that phone number.

Can you imagine if a third party actually was made and had real strength? In the 21st century?

Imagine a party who cared about people and your wallet.

They were never going to move Kubalik, he was getting hot at the time, unless Botts overpayed. I would loved Kubalik, but Mitts and Johnson weren't getting that deal done.

I admit, while I support those fighting for injustice, it would be great to move beyond the conversation, the "listening and learning" and start materially addressing the issues.

Agree, when mine were little, seemed like I didn't get a full night's sleep for a decade, but I look back on it and I just laugh because of how they made my life better.

That's a shame. Would have loved to snag him.

It'd sure be nice if Adams could find (sign) a strong UDFA.

Where's our Kahun? Kubalik? Tyler Johnson? Panarin? Giordano? Hell even Mikhayev

So what offer from the Chicago writer is better, I mean there both pretty good.
- Buff36


The one below, because all Buffalo would be giving up would be Tage who has trouble hitting the net and a goaltender who may never be NHL worthy.

--Strome, Sikura and left-handed defenseman Olli Maata ($4.08M cap-hit for two more seasons) for goalie Jonas Johansson and winger Tage Thompson

yeah I'd absolutely buy that. Maata's pretty average, no?

This is precisely why I'm tired. The finger pointing, and this board is absolutely a microcosm of this country, needs to (frank)ing stop.

The insults. The disinformation. The racism. The victim blaming. The blatant ignorance. The justifying of destruction of property and life. The condemnation of individuals expressing their Freedom of Speech. The defense of violent criminals. The defense of violent officers. The generalization that x group of individuals are all terrible because a select few are terrible.

I'm just. (frank)ing. Tired.
