Chevy to have a presser today at noon. General media Q&A or something interesting?
Last media availability prior to the draft.
I expect a lot of nothing.
"Contract talks ongoing..."
"Always talking to other GMs across the league..."
Rinse. Repeat.

The Ducks are expected to name Randy Carlyle as their new head coach on Tuesday, according to TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger.
Good news for everyone in the Pacific but Anaheim.

Chevy knows how to play hardball...just ask Kaner or Ladd.
He overpaid Kane.
And, if all the rumours are true, he tried really hard to overpay Ladd.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned about the game day experience but...
Who's idea was it to get the t-shirt cannon? And, when deciding on which t-shirt cannon to get, why did they decide on the Brian Brohm T-Shirt Cannon 2000? Sprays all over but gets nothing near it's intended target.

He's a winger.
D'uh, you're right. Not sure why he was in my head as a centre. I can even envision him taking face-offs.
I could definitely see CBJ trading down then, to grab Brown.
-
If CBJ does not take Poolparty, I'll be shocked. He's a top prospect centre they need. If they decide Puljarvvvvyyy is not the best pick, they'll trade down, I imagine.

Just don't see how Trouba can justify asking for more than Reilly? Six years at $5 mill AAV is the going rate...
Maata at $4m for 6 was a bit of a deal imo...
He may feel he's been held back by Stuart.

If it's 5 or 6 million jets match. 7 or more they take the 4 first round picks. Offer sheet unlikely
If it's 5 or 6 million, he won't sign it. I think he's looking for 7M, long term.
1st, 2nd and 3rd round pick, if it's under $7.3M. Has it changed for 2016?

What was up with Dressler? Didn't notice him take any snaps last night.
Still nursing an injury (quad). He dressed to hold for Medlock.

Trouba won't be traded and he won't be signed any time soon either........he will sign just before or just after TC starts.
He'll want a contract before playing for Team North America. Plus, I think he's a likely target for an offer sheet.

He is on an ELC so Chevy will wait like he did with Bogo and Kaner.
I think it's more likely Trouba gets an offer sheet. That will throw a wrench into any negotiations.

We also have roundabouts. Or "calming circles". Never heard that term until this thread.
Calming circles and roundabouts are two different things.

I'll be surprised if Willy plays more than 2 or 3 sets of downs. The first preseason game isn't to get the main offense a bunch of work. It's to get a look at as many players as possible in 'game' situations. Nichols is likely to get the most time IMO.
That's how I would normally feel but Willy's been out for 10 months and it's a new system. I think he needs more time to get the timing down.

So how long does Willy stay in? 1st quarter? Is Nichols a lock at number 2 this year?
My guess is that Willy is in until half, unless the o-line doesn't hold up. If he's getting hit, he's out.
Nichols is 2. I don't see that changing this season.

They call them calming circles because they are stupid. The stop signs they previously used slowed traffic down too.
I agree they are stupid. But they slow traffic down in all directions, where as the stop signs only slowed traffic down in two directions.
Calming Circles > Stop Signs
Roundabouts > Calming Circles

That sounds stupid. Aces would be better. Las Vegas Aces. Almost rhymes.
Aces feels 60s-70s.
They should call them the Strippers. After the LV Strip.

I lived on Willowlake before the Roundabout and it was horrible during rush hour.
The small round abouts Winnipeg loves so much are moronic. To small to be effective and difficult for firetrucks, snow clearing and other large trucks (delivery etc). Useless really.
They're calming circles meant to slow down traffic, not roundabouts meant to improve traffic flow.

i want something like this. If it's not doable then fudge it.
So, we should build an elevated walkway to mirror the underground walkway that already exists? Seems redundant.

Call them the Las Vegas Raiders and get a jump on Oakland.
They'll be the Black Knights apparently.

other than hotels, what corporations? Counting Cars?
If I'm a big corporation, not even necessarily centered in Las Vegas, but have a presence, I would be scooping up a pair of tickets for clients and staff. Always someone going to Vegas.
Plus Counting Cars and Gold & Silver Pawn Shop!
