    I think a solid off season would be to trade Mittelstadt for Puljujarvi, and sign Erik Haula as a 2C. Hopefully the abundance of Fins on our team can lure him in. Cirelli will be too costly to trade for and an offer sheet is unrealistic. Roster would look like this:

    Olofsson - Eichel - Reinhart

    Skinner - Haula - Kahun

    Johansson - Cozens - Puljujarvi

    Lazar - Larsson - Okposo (If no CBO)

     

    Dahlin - Miller

    Montour - Jokiharju

    McCabe - Ristolainen

     

    I see no way in which Botterill isn't fired if he doesn't find a 2C, so I am curious to see what happens this off season.

     

     

    Welcome NAF.  I'm in!  Is Middlestadt out?

    Ottaw Detroit and New Jersey have space.

    Does Yzerman target Cirelli?

    I would not be surprised if he does.  Yzerman is a GM that doesn't give a F about other GM's if it makes his teams better.

    I like this idea.

    First, welcome Jim.  I agree.  It is the duty and obligation of every GM to use every tool available to make the team better. To not do that is grounds for dismissal.  The players union AND management agreed to the offer sheet process.  Use it.  As a GM, you're not being a dick, you're being smart, and most important, you're doing your job.

    I think it’s time to dust off the offer sheet. Things are getting desperate now. Offer sheet Cirelli to something that couldn’t possibly be matched. TB May have to move some players to free up space, but they’ll only have a week to do so. If GMs get mad, eff them. 

    I agree kas.  Why is it in the "business world" we poach employees from other companies all the time, but in the NHL, you have to remain friends?  You're paid by the OWNER  not the other GM's.  Do what you have to do to make the team better.  It's a fiduciary duty.  Otherwise, GTFO.

    My sister-in-law and her 2 children are covid negative. 3 tests in the past 2 weeks.

    So, all 3 tested positive awhile back, Trish is a nurse, she is back working the covid wing. All three had x-rays on their lungs throughout their ordeal, Trish and her son show extensive permanent lung damage, they are now on some type of inhaler. The daughter surprisingly does not.

    All 3 are now taking Hydroxiquarquine, Trish tells me every Doctor she knows up at St. Joseph's is quietly telling the staff to do so before they start working with covid patients.

    Sorry to hear that, man.  I'll keep a good thought for them all.

    I wish there was. I used COVID as an execuse to not get out there. It’s not as easy to get back as it was in my 20s. 

    I get it.  In my 20's, I exercised and I didn't need to, now in my 50's, now that I need to, I don't exercise.  Ain't life funny.

  7. Just to keep the board jumpin'.  Here is my list of the top 5 bassists in classic rock that were also lead singers (in alphabetical order).  Have at it!

    Peter Cetera (Chicago)
    Geddy Lee (Rush)
    Sir James Paul McCartney (Duh???)
    Benjamin Orr (The Cars)
    Sting (The Police)

    Did a modified mini Murph today and the gym opened up this week. Restaurants got the go ahead to open up too.

    Is there a mini, mini, mini, mini, Murph for us older folks?  What I mean is, is there a Murph that lets me sit on my ass all day, drinking, and call it exercise?  If there is, then I'm shredded.

    Seriously, keep at it, 0311.

    Does it have to be either-or?

    LOL.  That one got me, Weave! 

    I know I'm a pedant.  The other one, who knows.  If you don't try it, you'll never know.  To put in pedant terms, in one way it sucks, in the other way it blows.

    Drink more. Perhaps drug use. It lowers inhibitions, and makes things more tolerable. 

    Kev,

    I'm not into drugs.  But if you call bourbon a drug, then I'm a liar (and I try to drink just enough bourbon to ward off the pedantry).   I just find it tougher and tougher to let nonsensical things go without saying something.  But, I don't want to become a dick either.

  11. I'm falling deeper and deeper into pedantry.  Being a pedant, I can't help it.  It's to the point where I can't watch commercials on TV without correcting them or making comments.  75% of the time my wife laughs at my comments and the other 25% she says STFU.  Is there a cure for pedantry?

    This is what human flesh looks like (mine) when it comes into contact with a grinding wheel on a 4” grinder. I’ve worn gloves every time I’ve used a grinder for the last 28 years but this one time at home just hitting a few rough edges on some fencing, 45 seconds worth of work.

    I’m guessing I’ve done this to several thousand pairs of gloves and didn’t flinch....

    Atol.

    Ogre, as the saying goes, "You got cut down to the white meat".  Seriously, I hope it heals soon!

    I'm not going to coexist here with a guy who starts by calling me an idiot and then escalates it to calling me a child molester.  That's just not going to happen.

    We're all a little bit raw due to the pandemic.  But, you're a great poster, don't let the times and one post make you quit.  I, and I assure you, many others would miss you if you left.

    Probably time to call it a career on this board, if this guy is allowed to hang around.

    Don't even say that Eleven.  You've been keeping this board rolling through all this madness..  I look forward to your threads and posts.  

  16. I'm not wanting to take this to a political thread, but we all know racism exists in the U.S.   How we deal with it now and how we eradicate in the future is the question.  Sadly to say, my parents had subtle racist tendencies but I was able to overcome these views and see a far better world.

    I can tell you from professional experience that the number of 58 year old white guys driving around loaded and packing is rather higher than you'd think.  

    Not the point I was trying to make, Sabel.  I totally agree with you about 58 year old white guys driving around loaded and packing. It may be the same for every age group.  However, minorities get pulled over at a greater percentage than non-minorities.   That's not age, it's race.
