I agree but he does have a good poker face. This was about the time we pulled Skinner out of nowhere. I still think Gardnier not signed and some of the very big RFA contracts still not settled is killing his ability to move Risto

He’s parked the bus, has a few ideas floating and just patiently fishing:

Hey Pach I must have missed it, or my reading comprehension is poor but what did Botteril say about Eichel managing the 82 game schedule?

I am making an inflammatory comment about Botterill

Here is a secondary point regarding American politics

Come at me

I actually looked up the date of that trade the other day. It was August 2nd.

I also think another move is coming, but it will be about the roster, and have nothing to do with getting under the cap.

Just wait til the preseason starts and a couple defensemen go down with injuries. Then the phone will start ringing.

These are the lines I would like to see

Skinner Eichel Vesey
Johansson Mitts Reinhart
Olofsson Rodrigues Sheary
Girgs Larsson Okposo

I could see Sheary being traded before the season starts in which case I would have Thompson either on the 3rd line or move up KO and put Tage on the 4th. Would prefer having someone like Tage on a line with smaller guys like Olofsson and Rodrigues.

Fitz - I'm interested... are you a vegetarian? Vegan? Because if you aren't and you enjoy eating meat, I would argue that your willingness to consume animals without personally confronting that animals death is a far more destructive force on your own mind, soul, and society as a whole, than the hunting and taking of wild animals is.

There is a problem with the ability to disassociate one's self from the cause and effects of eating meat. I feel like if an adult is going to eat meat, they should be able to confront the death of that animal.

I fish and eat my catch frequently. I have never enjoyed killing the fish. I am thankful for that fish's life and for that fish's death so that it can provide food for me and my family, but I have never actually enjoyed the killing of the fish.

yeah...he basically said that in the early part of the season Jack was rolling with the team, "playing like a Hart candidate," according to Botts...

"but it's a situation now where Jack, like the team, needs to sustain that over 82 games"

Sacred cows make the best hamburgers.

It may not be a coincidence that Gardiner is still out there and Risto's not traded. Might go hand in hand?

I can get behind those lines

If Olofsson gets PP time I would assume as well just because of his shot he will pot 20 this year

Your title says it all. It certainly seems like he has something up his sleeve, and he's very good at giving us nothing (even in an extended interview).

Adam-

Solid line up.

I'm a huge homer, but that looks decent.

Nacho cheese sauce. That's what is up his sleeve.

Yes, definitely. The worse thing he could say would be "We will be looking to make a trade to become cap compliant." This would ensure that teams would look to take advantage of him. Being all laissez-faire about the situation still allows him to negotiate without seeming desperate. I feel he swings a deal that will have everyone saying "How the hell did he pull that off?".
