I guess it's all dependent on when you want to free up salary. For example, if you decide realistically to get AP now.

I’d try to move Ghost (Idk if that’s unlikely now after the early draft rounds). Between that freed up money and the Nisky money that should be enough to make an offer to AP without adding any dead money to the cap.

For me Jake has too much term left on his deal to eat money. Especially when we don’t know when the cap will go up again.

To me I don’t eat more than two years of any contract. I just wouldn’t want to have dead cap space for someone that far removed from the team. In regards to Jake I think there’s a somewhat decent chance Seattle takes him free and clear if we don’t protect him.

It's 4 years! Horrible business and another albatross financially.

I'm ready to just do a trade deadline deal after we see what we have.

Trump is an idiot, but the media and the left are far worse.

Yes, I rather suspected you would refuse my offer.

One of the most amusing/amazing things about guys like you is this: you guys, of all people, actually think the other side is stupid. I mean its uniform and across the board: Sheeple this, blind that.

Its the classic example of a cult:

1. Make sure to get your news from only the sources you like.
2. Assume there is no news and no scrutiny beyond what you favor.
3. Be incredulous that others don't see what is so very obvious to you.

I feel like if that was going to happen it would’ve happened last night. Idk. As long as they’re reportedly asking for TK+ I don’t see it making a lot of sense.

Flyers went with 4 wingers and a defenseman. I can't remember the last draft they didn't take a center. I guess they figured they were center heavy and wanted more winger depth in the system.

Not many players over 6 ft either. Not that that is everything. Just surprising

I was being both facetious and hopeful. But I don't think that ship has sailed yet.

Yeah, Laine for TK would be worth considering but with the salary differential to come, no chance.

He's a good player, numbers not off the charts, but he is a guy you'd like on your team.

I dont know how people can support a guy who promoted drinking Disinfectant to protect you from Coronavirus.........

At the end of the day Trump is an old man with dementia. He hardly knows what he is talking about half the time and he constantly flip flops and denies ever saying things he said days ago.

The list of people who could do a worse job than him is a very short list.

Seriously. I’d take 8 years of almost any Republican who hasn’t gotten dragged into his nonsense over 4 more years of this.

Even if Laine does only one thing, that one thing is score. Konecny was an absolute non factor in the playoffs. Laine has size, a year younger and HE WILL SCORE. If it took Konecny and one other piece, I’d do it.

Maybe he said that, maybe he misspoke, maybe he was just horsing around.

I always marvel at the fact how political debate in our country has degenerated into these spectacles.

Here is one more of the (frank)ing novels you like:

1. Why is he trying to dismantle ObamaCare, which has about 50% support and tremendously important in rural states and amongst low income white people? Whats his plan to replace it?

https://www.kff.org/inter...nfavorable&aRange=twoYear

2. What has he done to address the Fentanyl problem that has ravaged the same communities that support him?

3. How does he plan to begin fighting the coming century long fight against China while he alienates every other leader in the world?

4. How does he plan to tackle the enormous debt he rang up even before Covid, at times when the debt to GDP ratio is supposed to improve?

5. He has disparaged the military ("I know better then the generals"), the press ("the enemy of the people"), the FBI/CIA ("deep stat"e), the scientists/public health (covert agenda), the universities (elitists), international business (globalists). If Americans grow up believing every single institution is not to be trusted, what separates us from a banana republic?

6. Why did he pull out of the Paris Accord - the only developed country to do so? Is it for any other reason than spite against Obama? Climate change is real and an existential threat. Even his excuse that India and China were not planning to lower emissions (which was always false, as their per capita emissions are far, far lower - they just have a lot more people) is now untrue. China is taking leadership all over the world - and a week ago pledged to be carbon neutral by 2060 (undoubtedly a reaction to Covid blame, but still)

7. Why did he pull out of the Iran accord simply to satisfy the Netan-Yahoos in Israel?

8. Why did he create a circus with Covid? On September 11, Canada had 0 deaths from Covid. Yesterday it was 26. The US is routinely averaging about 1000.

9. More generally, why did he provide his supporters with the message "don't worry,, be happy?" That life is all a conspiracy? He is a 74 year old man - his supporters were going to take it up the ass anyway in the next 20-30 years. They gave him his uncritical support and he will leave office having screwed them long term like no recent President.

10. Race: don't even get me started there. As General Mattis said - "he is the first President to try and divide the people."

Haven’t read any comments yet so I’m sure you’re talking about this but it doesn’t look like Chuck Fletcher regards a player’s size as being very important.

He never said that. And Biden tops the list for people who would do worse. That's what makes this election infuriating.

Democrats had a chance to beat trump easily by just nominating a normal human being. Instead they chose the only person worse than Hillary. Biden is a nice guy but hes never been all there, now his mind is just completely gone.

My only conclusion is that democrats want to lose this presidential election to continue to push fear and violence on the streets. Trump should have been an easy opponent for most democrats. Hillary and Biden are just universally disliked.

- SuperSchennBros

The other piece they’re looking for might be Sanhiem or Myers tho. Also Laine is going to cost a ton to lock up.

If York was closer to the NHL it would be something I’d more closely consider but we just can’t afford to give up anyone we consider a top 4 D man right now.

If we make a big splash at this point I think it will be Pietrangelo or Krug.

Thanks for the info, but no, not with you. Your personal issues always transcend the topic to make reasonable debate impossible. It's my loss, I am sure. Sorry.

I already know you don't have the balls to go over to a misc thread to debate me. You just proved what I've said many times. You only want to debate those that you feel you can bully. When challenged and confronted, you tuck your tail between your legs and run for the hills.
