This whole story about the 50-some year old having saved after having a heart attack in the middle of a beer league game? If I have to hear it referred to as “a real life miracle on ice” one more time, I’m going to lose my mind. They do realize that it wasn’t just a Kurt Russell movie, right?

Mike Hoffman. Don’t know if it is the most recent, but it immediately comes to mind. That’s as complex as any of those trades would every get... not very

My nitpicky helpful hint of the day: COL is the NHL abbreviation for Colorado. CBJ is Columbus. I really hope I'm not coming across as an ass on this one. There's enough craziness around the Avs that I could probably be easily convinced that they somehow have a claim to Huberdeau through the Duchene trade.

So is he? It would be pretty crazy if he actually was and I accidentally stumbled upon that one.

Daywalker!

I love how Deadpool was marketed as a Valentine's Day movie. Have they gone the same route with Resident Evil?

There are so many jokes to be had here, but I fear that they're all ban worthy.

It's simple really. You give the team permission to talk to the player ahead of the deal. If they reach an agreement, the trade goes through. I suppose they could back out after that, but in that case, the deal gets voided. Any agent playing that game is risking career suicide. It involves a larger deal obviously, but Columbus would be crazy to not entertain the notion.

It would be hilarious to watch him land both of those guys and then immediately lose both to free agency. I'd imagine the deal would have to be contingent on them accepting extensions, but it all seems so odd right now. And Huberdeau needs to be moved in order to make room, you'd have to imagine Columbus would show some interest.

Lotulelei is a dead ringer for Lemmy.

I saw the Green Book this weekend. I was shocked when the name Peter Farrelly immediately pop up in the end credits. But then again, it was a buddy road trip movie just like Dumb and Dumber.

Looking over their roster, clearly it's Totauhelotu Lotulelei .

I wonder how much of that is the high end players making those guys better. We lacked the high end guy for so long, it left just about everyone being asked to do far more than they were capable. We have that high end now, so this is the time for some of those mid-level guys to step up.

I love it when I "accidentally" hit those springy door stops with the vacuum. The wife is going to kill me for it at some point, but I don't care.

And doubled his entire college career output that one year with Eichel. I'd experiment for a game or two and put him on Eichel's wing, especially given the recent uptick in his play.

He bounced on and off of it throughout the year.

All of the above.

I know this isn't one word, but I feel like the thread title actually answers the question perfectly.

One school is obsessed with BC. The other is obsessed with Notre Dame. So by BC logic where they think they're on the same level as Notre Dame, I guess that does make them the same school. And as for Erod, all of this is why I still hold out hope for O'Regan. He was always a better player than Erod, he just didn't get glued to Eichel's hip for a full season.

I'm not really sure, but then again, I always confuse you with sweetlou.

You're dead to me

I don't know what's the crazier part, that they offered that role to Oldman or that he actually accepted it.

Future considerations that were actually past considerations. We're caught in a loop.

The bounceyball money is obscene though, which plays a huge factor. The NHL players don't stand to gain anywhere near as much with the series of short term deal. I really do think it mostly comes down to a team driven game vs. a player driven game. When you know that you're a player who can turn a team around all on your own, you know that short of absolute catastrophe, that next deal is out there. When you're more reliant on the rest of the team around you, it makes you think twice. Luxury taxes and contract options also make it a hell of a lot easier for the player to cash out repeatedly.

Send him to San Jose.
