History failed you in Canada HAHAHAHAH!!

The war of 1812 is what I am assuming you are talking about.. It was actually British Soldiers that burned down the white house.. not Canadian.

LMFAO

Naaaaaaaaaa, history didn't fail me son......... There was no Canada at the time, we were a british colony. But make no mistake, the ass kicking you endured and the burning of your precious white house was done by men born north of the 49th

Seriously, son.......... your outclassed with me..... give it a rest

History lesson for you junior.......... Not only did we kick your butt, but we also burnt down the white house!!!

FACT

- faceto27


The Burning of Washington in 1814 was an armed conflict during the War of 1812 between the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and the United States of America. On August 24, 1814, led by General Robert Ross, a British force occupied Washington, D.C. and set fire to many public buildings following the American defeat at the Battle of Bladensburg. The facilities of the U.S. government, including the White House and U.S. Capitol, were largely destroyed.[3] The British commander's orders to burn only public buildings and strict British discipline among its troops are credited with preserving the city's private buildings.


LMFAO You are an epic fail.. Canadian schools have failed you son.. FACT.

Don't try to ignore the facts that you not only do not know History of the War of 1812.. you were so sure that you put "FACT." at the end of it.. and then you committed the largest spelling error in the world.

Please stop talking immediately.

Ah, Kadri isn't considered equal. The system has two factors. JVR 8.0B versus Kadri 8.0C. The "player's realistic chances of achieving their potential" is different.

"B - Should reach potential, could drop 1 rating - likely to reach potential, but may have a hole or two in his game that will keep him from reaching his full potential. The potential rating is multiplied by 90 percent for depth chart purposes, which indicates slightly less certainty about a player’s future performance.

C - May reach potential, could drop 2 ratings - has shown some flashes, but may ultimately not have what it takes to reach his potential. The potential rating is multiplied by 80 percent for depth chart purposes to show the uncertainty of a player reaching his potential."

"8. First-Line Forward/ No. 2 Defenseman / No. 1 Goaltender - players with definite skill that might be just a cut below elite status, but still possessing All-Star potential."

And, Schenn is 8.5B versus JVR 8.0B. The number ranking is player's realistic potential ability, but is adjusted for defenseman and forwards (ie. apples/oranges). Besides, the groupings are fairly broad. The top prospect is Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, and he is a 8.5C. Is Luke Schenn better or equal to him?

I went to the same high school as Drew Stafford and he is only 2 years older than me.. So when he got drafted by the Sabres I started watching them and I actually really liked Afinogenov and Miller and that is why I am a "s"abres fan..

Sabres need to trade Stafford because I don't like his game.

Fair enough?

You're missing quotation marks when you quoted yourself. Also, "......" constitutes the end of a sentence. Please capitalize the followup word.

You cited a source, and stated that Kadri's ranking is equal to JVR. I looked it up, and they are not equal.

I don't know....maybe it is.

According to Hockey Futures which I feel is a very credible site....Kadri is considered equal to JVR as a prospect. Schenn is considered a better prospect than JVR.

Besides that...I think there are more pressing needs...

- 3-Bean-Salad

I was referring to the players you'd rather give up for him. I agree JVR and Kadri are basically the same thing at this point young players with alot of upside Kadri just gets ripped on cause he's a leaf prospect. Personally I'd much rather go for a guy like Morrow then getting another maybe that we have to pay to much to get. Its either go big or go home.

I think we can sum it up by saying both guys are (SO FAR) disappointments considering what both teams thought they'd be at this point. They're young. They'll figure it out. Or they won't. We'll see.

And no thanks to Morrow. I'd rather keep our youth until we can use it for a long term solution, whether they become the solution or we trade them for it.

We have choices in America... Move to another school district, put him in a private school, or teach him yourself. Education is only what you make of it. Why does the nanny state have to be the only source for knowledge?

Marginally...but Schenn's is marginally higher....but as we probably agree that's only on paper.

Anyway....I just don't see the fit on either side.

Schenn and a 2nd is too high.....a 2nd would get you a JML or a Grabo etc>>>

I agree with this. I also think you're either capable of learning or you're not, regardless of the education system. Of course there are exceptions, but someone needs to pick up my garbage on Wednesdays.

Its not a question of the ablity to learn, what is different is the standards that each system demands.

To achieve an A in Canada is far more demanding than it is in the USA
