Is that LaFontaine on the right? Assuming yes, this must be the 1983 draft.

My google of "what date is NHL draft" returned this image at the top; I can't place it. Help?

I never understand your sports. Olympics: Four countries, but you call yourselves GB and not UK. Cricket: England and Wales are together but the others are separate. Soccer: All of them are separate. Some other sports: Ireland and NI are a unified team, but GB is still split into three. Can you get your king or minister of magic or whatever to fix this? It is confusing.

No thx, no interest in trading him to Ottawa and letting him light up with his fellow German in Stutzle

Could have been the Buffalo Brownfield Beach Parties? I caught Buffalo's Mallwalkers a couple times a decade ago or so. They were fun. And loud.

GB still has a chance to qualify for the Olympics?

Ah yes, the Houston Toxic Beaches

I don’t think so, too much time has passed. Most people don’t know the origin; that the team was originally going to be the Dayton Aeros as tribute to Ohio’s aviation history. They will pick a name relevant to Houston and Texas.

Once GB are eliminated I’ll be cheering for Ras and Sweden.

When Houston gets a team it will be named the Houston Aeros. Book it.

Well... those are certainly choices

At this point I would like to see what Levi can do at the NHL level... He will be 24 at the halfway point... I know there is a development contingent out there... but, how much longer before you see what you have at the big level... I have no problem signing Riemer... thats fine, but ultimately, I dont think Riemer or UPL get us to the promised land.. I clearly could listen to the argument... well lets get better on Defense and find out... ok.. but does that happen? If so, maybe minds change... but everything constant... Levi to me is our best hope to improve our goaltending situation... I am not saying he will he may make it worse... I dont know... but I would like to find out.... UPL is who he is... .898 sv% 3.06 GA in the league for 5 years... 3 of them as a workhorse... he is pretty average stat wise... is he really really going breakout .... is think he is who he is.... Reimer is who he is.... I dont see them drastically upping their game... so who provides that chance... to me its Levi...

I like Kyrou and straight up would be a good trade but it would cause some logistic issues or maybe solve a problem. Kyrou is a right shot right wing player. Although Peterka is listed at a right winger he most often plays left and has a left handed shot. If you get Kyrou he is probably taking over for Quinn which I am all for but the loss of Peterka now leaves a hole at left wing. You are left with Zucker, Benson and Greenway. Norris or Kulich could go to the left wing and maybe that is the answer. Thompson centering Kyrou would be a formidable combination.

Ya Nashville has said they are okay being bad and taking a step back to get better in the long run unfortunatley there roster just isn’t good and most of the big name guys have no move clauses L’Heureux would be an amazing pick up! I’d probably want at least Lauzon as well for the back end, he led the nhl in hits multiple years, and then what about ROR he is the only vet that doesn’t have a no move and would balance cap slightly I would personally be totally fine with him coming back for that hybrid 2/3 center between him and Mcloed we still would have a gaping hole on the defense beside Power, because even if we did get Lauzon he is best as a 5/6

I just don't want him traded, I want him signed long term.

Personally, I want someone like Greig back in a Peterka trade. Someone young enough to fit the group but with snarl and edge to his game. We need our own Marchand. Another rat type player I'm a fan of is L'Heureux. Not as a complete one-for-one acquisition but players with bite and edge.

I'm always kind to people who can kill me.

Vorhees, a jolly good fellow...

It doesn't matter because he kills his competitors. So the job opening will still be available to him.

The way you describe Kyrou's style of play it seems similar to JJP's game. If that's the case, then it would make more sense to stick with the younger player who has shown scoring prowess with more potential to tap. Peterka has gotten enough playing time where he's not a young player trying to find his game. No question that he needs to improve on the defensive side of the game, as do most young players. Is he willing and have the desire to do so? I don't know. Is he determined to be somewhere else? I don't know. But if he's still receptive to being here then maybe the best approach is to give him a bridge deal as @Brawndo recommended.

Oh, is his save percentage better than Levi's?

He's Jason. He stars in the movie "Friday the 13". https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080761/?ref_=ls_t_1

Who dat?

A city with no navel. (I'm borrowing what Brendan Behan once said about L.A.)
