    Hebrew did not have any vowels at all originally. Most Biblical Hebrew was written without vowels, so I don't think this is the correct explanation.  I could be wrong and welcome corrections.

     

    On a similar vein, though, it is my understanding that YHWH is not pronounced aloud by Jews because it is God's name.

    You made me curious so I poked around a bit. In written Hebrew there were no vowels. However there would    sometimes be markings to indicate that a vowel was supppsed to be there. As YHWH (Yahweh) is the sacred name of God they would rarely write it and not say it out loud. This led to in more modern times people translating YHWH to Jehovah which is incorrect.

    I think Baloo was my least favorite. Even if he was good, I would hope we trade him for that nickname. 

    Why is the o in God blurred? 

    Botterill's name is a no-win scenario. 

    I don't know if it is for other reasons, but because God's name was so holy, the Jewish scribes couldn't even write it, so they would omit vowels.

  3. Yes. It is simply traded with that protection. If we trade the Blues pick it is just like trading any other pick you put a protection on.

     

    Also the SJS pick is lottery protected. Both picks should be for next year. I don't see St.Louis suddenly becoming a bottom 10 team and I don't see SJ not making the playoffs.

    The Sharks pick I believe is rolled to next year if the sharks miss the playoffs, it's not a simple lottery protection. I could be wrong, but I seem to remember that.
