I agree. I get wanting to remain competitive but at some point you have to read the writing on the wall. Their stars are getting older.

I want to say Jost or Krebs.

I waited until later in life to go to school. It wasn’t so much a deliberate decision but one I think has worked out. Along the way I received a lot of real world experience but appreciate what a formal education brings to the table. The benefit for me is I chose a degree program specific to the field I want to be in. The decision to be in that field goes back to life experience. The reason I am glad I waited is I am more certain than I was at 18. Switching programs and kind of guessing at growth and marketability is not as much of a concern. That and while I was waiting to go to school I achieved a military pension and access to the GI Bill.

Sounds like a good problem to have. Glad to hear and good luck.

What’s interesting is the post poll. Just over half think Levi is capable of 50 games but well over half think we need to go out and get a new goalie. I see this as people believe Levi could get it done but should have an experienced mentor to show him how to get it done. I agree.

Both are NATO countries. I can’t see how they would take a bridge between the two without going into either.

We still have training camp and preseason. I think it’s too early to tell what configuration we have opening night.

Not really sure why he would threaten a cop’s (or anyone’s) family. Oh well, Galchenyuk’s problem. Should make for interesting chants from opposing crowds if/when he plays.

What does it look like when Quinn returns? Back to the original top six?

Lighting lost some guys so they might end up in the falling. TBD I guess.

I missed it. Any links?

I don’t know if he’s too 10 yet but I’d say he’s on his way. I think he has not yet reached his ceiling. He got much better using his body to protect the puck. As that gets more refined I think it will compliment his playmaking by drawing defenders in and out of position. Great shot that I think he will maintain as he gets older.

I don’t agree with making Russian athletes pay for the actions of their government for a couple reasons. 1. The Ukraine invasion is not the fault of the athletes. 2. I do not think it will change anything.

A little late to the conversation. I know we are all thinking of where Clifford and Johnson fit in the lineup. One option is for one or both to be used in trades. If not and based on what I am reading here, Clifford could be Power’s partner. Coming off a winning team culture his mentorship may help cultivate a developing star defenseman. Johnson could slot in on the third pair. The question then becomes what happens with Joker and Busch?

Happy Independence Day!!!

I figured as much. If VO stays I see it as the safe move.

Until Quinn’s injury I would have said yes. The question is, is there anyone we could trade him for to fill a middle six role and be an asset to Mitts?

I think Adams makes the picks. I’m 50/50 on If VO gets traded at the draft.

If your UPL, what are your thoughts on bringing Levi into the goaltending mix?

I was calling out a thread that went off the rails. Not uncommon for someone to do that. Take ownership of your part in that happening just because you couldn’t handle two posters disagreeing with you.

You’re right, should just let it die. Next time please don’t contribute to it because two posters disagreed with you.

The non hockey talk is making this thread boring. Whether you support or don’t support something, you’re not changing anything. Stick to hockey.

Someone on here called it about Krug holding up the trade. If you are reading this, good call. Can’t wait to see what the result is.
