When the DA takes a look at the evidence against Eleven and decides it wants to press charges then I don't believe your story anymore

Just for some clarification about the circumventing the salary cap ala Bowman. The reason he was able to do it is because when I player goes on IR the AAV temporarily doesn't count towards the cap. Once the regular season ends there is no more salary cap, so if an IR player returns in the playoffs his AAV won't count against the cap. So it's a moot point until at least next year

Well ladies, the nightclubs just got a little bit safer

No, never thought that

Let's not get ahead of ourselves here

The bright side is, we have an excuse when we don't make the playoffs

http://www.campaignlifecoalition.com/index.php?p=Gender_Identity_laws I'll probably get raked over the coals for this, but the other side has a voice.

Once Gio retires I think it should go to Reinhart or Eichel

Hoping to extend Kulikov.. Vesey would be exempt I think(someone please clarify). I just think it's likely we don't do much more until next offseason

I'm not sure we should make another move. I may be putting too much stock into the upcoming expansion, but the way I see it, if we acquire anyone worth getting, they would be plucked anyhow. We will have to leave either one or both of Moulson, Ennis as forwards by the look of it, a contract dump of sorts for Ennis unless he shows signs of positivity this year. Adding another skilled forward and we lose a skilled forward. Defense we have to protect Bogosian, which is a shame. Risto and McCabe I would think get protected, so we potentially lose Kulikov. Ducks are trading Fowler for the same reason we shouldn't pick him up. It might mean missing the playoffs by a hair this season, but ultimately I think we waited too long to lose assets because we couldn't wait another year.

One thing is 100% fact and certain. He hasn't been smart enough to avoid being investigated. There is no excuse, sure he did nothing wrong, but he has done nothing right. Most NHL players respect the team and the league enough to avoid situations like this.

I think he means we didn't pay too much to acquire him... I really like the trade, Pysyk wasn't the greatest fit here, and I strongly believe Kuli has a higher ceiling. he has had a rough few years but did average .5PPG in 2010-11 season. He is a pick moving offensive defenseman, probably my favorite trade Murray has made.(O'reilly was a great trade just a bit steep I think) Only downside is that now I have to change my hockey pool name from: Defy laws of Pyskys. It brought me good luck this year

I hear ya man, I was upset when he went to Buffalo because I'm not a fan of his. I had really hoped he would step up for us and be the player he can be, but he hasn't been. I know he hasn't even been charged with anything but at the same time they investigate things for a reason. It's bad publicity for the team or the league.

Just never met a Manitoban who wasn't happy to see him gone. I mean when he was in Winnipeg, Most thought he was bigger then the team. The way he played the game, the way he composed himself on and off the ice. Just seems like your downplaying the issues he had here. The way I see it, it was him and not the fans, though they did not help anything.

Great point! Look at all the investigations that Subban, simmonds, byfuglien, reaves etc.. have all been a part of. tough being a black player in the NHL I tell you Thorny I'm really questioning the fact you live in winnipeg. you have a different opinion then literally anyone I've talked to manitoba wide. The consensus on Winnipeg was "wow, I can't believe someone was willing to pay an incredibly steep price for a locker room cancer. "
