is this really where life has taken you?

Listen, I refuse to live in a world where we accept that Eastern European milk soup is considered soup (despite not meeting Marian Webster's definition of not "containing meat, fish, or vegetable stock.") while cereal is not.

I would argue that stirring cereal constitutes mixing/processing
- Hank Balling


Stirring is not a requirement. Does cereal have a recipe? If not then it is not a soup.

Stirring is inevitable. Sure, every cereal has a recipe. It's just preprepared in most cases, like powdered soup. But you can make your own cereal soup

I get Olo being the odd man out with him being a "1 trick pony" but I think I would rather get rid of Mits. And I advocated for Mitts all year.

Oloffson's timely goal scoring is second to none on the team. I really felt his game rounding out last year and hes got some special connections with our best players Dahlin and Selke Asplund.

Maybe hes just asking for more than KA is willing to give?

- DirtyDan


Olo proved that he is more than a one trick pony.

Also, haven't we learned our lesson with trading young players before they have fully developed? We've had each of these kids traded multiple times. I suspect that Mitts will be fine.

It's not a fight, I have no issue with him at all.

It's an interesting topic, but these deals just aren't that common, and no one is going walk away certain of anything.

Exactly.
Trades happen so rarely that it isn't worth getting all lathered up about.

Nice read Hank. I like that you compiled the average around the writers. It's too bad Mckenzie's latest rankings aren't out yet as I assume that would have a heavier influence.


Lekkerimaki seems like an obvious choice there, likely will be there. I don't know what to make of him but hopefully the scouts have a good read on him.

I apologize for jumping into your guys conversation but neither of you are wrong.

Homie did in-fact give you an example of a team trading back for essentially nothing but the initial spirit of the trade was not to move back from 1st to 3rd overall for a 3rd or 4th.

Any chance you can mediate a lingering issue between me and uncle ion?

Maybe more mediating and less reffing ?

I get that, I just see Olo as a bigger piece at this point.

- Slump Buster


That's why I put the quotations..

And we're getting rid of someone. Reported the team is looking into a top 6 F.

Olo sounds like the odd man out but I would argue he is more important to this team than Mitts. Especially right now.

Really feels like I'm giving up a bit more than you, with this suggestion. 🤔

What do you think josh?
