Weave

A trade with Ottawa for Tkachuck does not make sense for us at all. Win are in win now mode. Ottawa is in win now mode. Any return would have to be from the active part of our lineup, not prospect and picks. We don’t have the depth in our “win now” parts to do this trade. Our depth is in prospects and young players.

Meh. Savoie turned into our 3C. If he flamed out and we got no value out of him I’d be bummed, but we got a good rostered player out of that pick. I think that’s value.

And now you called me out!

Tkachuck is a center? We signed Cousins this offseason? Which multiverse are we in?

The way I see it, there is washout potential with Savoie, and if he doesn’t wash, his most likely projection is 2nd line wing. Is a 3C = 2nd line wing? I think given the prospects we still have, yes that is good value.

I like the changes. Alot. But looked at individually, none of them really impress when you look at the rosters of teams that were in the playoffs. This is going to have to be a situation where the total is greater than the sum of the individual parts. And I think there is a pretty decent chance that we will see a total greater than the sum of the parts. I do wish we upgraded a top 6 position, but that might be too much to ask in 1 offseason. I am positively giddy over 5 new players with a hard to play against game and the idea that we are forcing a rookie to bull their way into the lineup (and likely won’t be able to).

And the first to come to my mind was:

How the ***** did I end up with that gif in your post? *puts drink down*

@Eleven would be so happy with this. Hopefully he knows. Where is the old lady meme. It’s been 13 long years….. The best prt of this trade? There is no room for a ***** rookie on this squad unless they legit beat out an actual good NHL player.

I had no idea either. And its not that I am looking to ice a goon, but a guy that can stand up to the toughest guys in the league and be respected is well overdue. Our finesse guys should play with more courage now.

Well, this makes me feel better.

Do you think Jacky Robinson was talked about in evey game he played at first? Again, it’s historically significant. Ignoring it is to ignore history being made. I’m not sure how that is relevant. Women can’t compete physically on the ice. Lots of folks that couldn’t compete on the ice managed to be excellent coaches. This is the first time one happens to be female.

Like a frog placed in a cold pot and the burner turned on.

From who’s perspective?

After the Leino and Hall debacles, I fully expect that there are firm, unrelenting orders from the Grand Meddler that there will be no more hesitant players on this roster.

I don’t wanna leave it be. Store Christmas decorations in September. only kidding. Sort of. Im not gonna dissuade conversation even if I could.

It’s every bit as historic as Jacky Robinson. Or Alex Mogilny. They SHOULD be bringing it up frequently. When the 2nd female coach gets hired, if they are still bringing it up constantly maybe, maybe there is a complaint to be had. Maybe.

Ok, not hallucinating. 4-6 wks ago was last season. Now if only we’d stop talking about it so noone gets triggered.

Say his name. LOL

Let’s just throw some unrelated right wing politics into it, I guess.

Why does it seem like this is deja vu? Didn’t a team hire a female coach last season? Or am I hallucinating again?

And the right now has the opening they needed. Its right out in the open now. Violence if they don’t get their way. https://apple.news/A0IHpkslwRxOrWpvzU5yLzA “We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be,”

Too much grass might be part of the problem?

First I’ve heard about it.
