It does reach them more indirectly however, in Communism it never reaches them in any way. They're dead before it reaches them. Do we need some way to help funnel some money to workers, probably but they are still better off under our system than China's. Honestly I'd redo the tax code, cut out nearly all the loopholes, and then shave/fix the government programs to assist people but not carry them. I too dislike rich people getting taxed 6.5% after loopholes but I think fixing what we have is far more beneficial than tearing up the carpet because their is a wine stain.

I'll leave it at this, China didn't actually become anything until they became more Free Market in their economy, their government control likely hurts their entrepreneurship. What comes out of China that is actually Chinese in origin, not merely manufactured there. Don't even mention the fact they build empty cities and have warehouses full of chairs because they have quotas to achieve regardless of demand. No, I don't aspire to that, but remember in terms of success the U.S. and China are rather close yet look how much better off we are than nearly all of the Chinese population. Our system works, it has its warts but it certainly beats the alternatives.

Happiest.... why wouldn't they be, so much is merely given to them; however look at their populations: Switzerland: 7,800,000 Iceland: 300,000 Denmark: 5,500,000 Norway: 4,900,000 Finland: 5,400,000 Netherlands 16,600,000 Sweden: 9,400,000 Canada: 35,160,000 Total: 85,060,000 US Population: 316,500,000 All those countries barely equal more than a 1/4th of the US population. Also don't forget all the other Socialist European countries that are utter failures or on the verge of complete chaos Spain, Greece, Italy, Portugal Entitling people endless perks only makes them expect it, just look at Greece. Greece is literally sapping money from the German people and I highly doubt Germans are all to fond of it. We fought Communism for 50 years, yet the USSR falls and Socialism has since been far more successful poisoning the minds of the NATO backing nations. Can Socialism have some good ideas, sure; but that doesn't mean we should just jump on board. The only way we can continue, at least, our tenuous position at the top of the world is to stay the course while making adjustments. China has overtaken all of Europe's economies for a reason, they have a mass quantity of "expendable" people and human rights are merely a word written in a few Western books allowed there. Maybe I'm just old school, but I just don't trust self-avowed Socialists, especially from Vermont.

As long as we don't overpay that would be either be the greatest inadvertent/purposeful signing to cause a trade which helps said signer in NHL history

It may not be popular but I honestly feel Bernie Sanders is an enemy of our great nation. Do we have problems, yes; but Socialism is little different from Communism and I might sound like a 1950's McCarthyist but Communists are still the enemy. I've read plenty of history to know how sinister they are. It honestly scares me how much support he's getting.

I had a dream last night we made it to the playoffs just barely, upset the #2 in our division in 6 before losing in 5 to TB. It was a good dream :w00t:

Great observations guys. I hope to go tomorrow and will be sure to post some observations ;) Baptiste sounds a tad cocky, hopefully his good friend Bailey will reign him in before he gets hurt due to it. A good thing to see is how excited the coaching staff seems, a happy worker, works harder. The scrimmage is going to rock with ReinhartvEichel out of the gate. Best part their rooming together.

He's likely purposely trolling the crowd while also not wanting to assume he's a Sabre. I hope he wears a new number for each practice & 3v3 tournie and #100 (for that kid in Roswell Park) in the Scrimmage.

Deslauriers is an emergency Dman at the NHL level nothing more, nothing less. One guy I wonder if we could acquire is Brian Campbell as a stopgap. to give McCabe another year to season. He may be 36, and he may not be a defensive mastermind but he still puts up commendable points and hasn't missed 1 game in the last 4 seasons. He still eats alot of minutes and has a Ring, one year left on his contract at about 7.2mil. He shouldn't be immensely expensive and could fill in the roll at the top D pair for 1 year I'd assume.

Updated 2015-2016 Lineup Kane-O'Reilly-Ennis Moulson-Eichel-Girgensons McGinn-Reinhart-Gionta Foligno-Legwand-Deslauriers McCormick-Larsson Gorges-Risto Donovan-Bogosian Weber-Pysyk Colaiacovo Lehner Johnson We appear to have a weak left side and at very least a moderate right side.

I don't think the league would announce it if not.

I don't think they can, the reason they took picks from the Devils was because they had made an even more outrageous contract offer which the league rejected. If the league accepted it, they cannot do anything about it.

I think he's good for depth, I think Murray would like to trade for an LD or get Oduya, or even both. However, he's also smart enough to pick up some relatively good D that can still play a bit if he's unable to get the others completed. After all, would you rather have to scramble to scrape what's left of the UFA D guys in September or have a bit of choice and prepare for whatever may happen.

The playoffs would be nice, though their success doesn't hinge on it. If they work their off and make it I see that as nothing bad. The only way making it to the playoffs could be bad is if they make it due to 25+ OT Wins/Losses/SOs thus have inflated points.

New trade proposals: Since Hamilton went for 1,2,2 I would guess we would need to meet that + a smidgen. Thus I'd start with Krug and Kelly(Cap Dump, at least that's what Bruins forums are complaining about) for Our 2016 2nd, our 2nd in 2017 and Larsson Then I'd trade Kelly/Legwand(50%) and our 2016 4th and 7th for their 3rd They claim to be looking for a 4th line C and both would be just that. Better than earlier I'd assume.

Are you 100% positive he isn't?

:rolleyes: Though, hell it might work if we catch the Sweeney from the Hamilton trade

Legwand(50%), 3 2nds, and Kea

Supposedly Boston is open to dealing Krug

Seems a little busy in my opinion, the other 3 have a sleek design.

That was awesome how he smiled about it. I also liked how he was sort of the anti-Grigs, Eichel feels he needs to earn his spot on the team, while Grigs felt it was somewhat an entitlement

He had 2 goals and 1 assist in 7 playoff games with the Flyers

I came around with Zadorov

I will never trade Girgs and you should be ashamed for even thinking it. I'd legitimately cry if we trade Girgs or Risto. Not to mention furious and wanting Murray's head

That is true, I'm not really all that excited nor appalled by him however. The need for him to put in #1 minutes like before would be short lived, but his upside is damn good.
