Well, it really depends (imo) on who we still sign of our own. Bass, Cummings, Burnett and Denmark are probably the only ones that we have a level of interest in. For me, at this point ... I'd be interested in some of the receivers out there, but that'd probably mean we have to cut Ryan Smith. The big one for me is the DT market. Between Cummings, Brooks, Laing, Johnson, Nevis and Hall ... there's going to be movement on that front and IMO, we NEED one of those guys.

that makes sense now. The text I got said "good news drunk: Nichols is back!" and I thought my friend was telling me he was worried I have a drinking problem. Turns out he has a texting problem.

Just signed him hehe

Just heard Nichols signed.

Big signing for the Bombers. If healthy, Adams is a 1500 yard receiver in this league.

I think it's great. It's nice to see the NHL actually have some guys with personality.

The silver lining is that Wylie did enough with these hoggies that they should be developed to the point where a new coach can more or less come in and be status quo. They should be able to manage themselves at this point, it's not a young group.

Imagine the opening game at their brand new stadium and the last guy out of the tunnel during player introductions is ... AAAAAAAAAAAAND YOUR STARTING QUARTERBACK Jake Waters

Drew Willy nets us a first overall pick and a divisional all-star defensive back Darian Durant nets Chris Jones two middle round picks, one of which is conditional ... hehe

I've basically had it with Paul Maurice at this point. I always struggle with my hockey opinions because while I actually played the game at a fairly high level, compared to football where I never played at all ... I feel like my knowledge of hockey as a viewer is way lower. I don't really expect to be right, but here's what I would say about Maurice: - no creativity on zone entries, just standard dump and chase and we can't sustain secondary pressure on the dump in to win any battles on the boards. Our one-and-done attack in the offensive zone is frustratingly inefficient. - I don't see our players being used efficiently in their roles on offense (Wheeler on the PP1 comes to mind immediately) - the line juggling is just nonsensical to me at this point - our power play deserves an entire paragraph of it's own but I'll sum it up by saying the combos are stupid and we still can't run a successful PP with this much talent so what the hell are our coaches doing? - too many forwards lost on defense, which leads to sustained pressure in our own end and discombobulated breakouts when we finally control the puck POMOMUSTGO.

End of this year.

I was a big Hellebuyck fan before and I still believe he can get there. But we need a #1 until he gets there.

If he was traded for Adams, I'm sure they'd be thrilled.

Wouldn't touch Bourke these days. He's cooked.

Whonderful.

Just for the record, they didn't spend anything extra on Medlock + Bryant. What they did was ask for a pay cut in 2016 in return for the same dollars in 2017, restructured in a way that gave each player more take home income. Zero increase to 2017 money.

... a smart one? What's the downside? Either you get paid money by a team you have no obligation to or you get cut and get a headstart on free agency.

The thing to keep in mind is that a lariat is, kayfabe wise, a devastating move in Japan.

Any chance you could PM me some deets?

Best wrestling match I've ever seen, that's for sure. Not a huge NJPW fan. Just haven't invested the time to learn about it. But Kenny Omega has me sold. I've actually run into Kenny a couple times and I've never had it in me to pester him and say I was a fan, he just seems to be so private. He came into my office once for some information and introduced himself as Tyson (which I'd expect) and this was after I'd run into him at the gym a couple times. I think he must've known by the way I was temporarily starstruck that I knew who he was, but I didn't want to bother him. I think I'm going to get one of his shirts just to show some support. The guy is a legend.

I'd bring back Mack as a scout under the condition that he spend no time in Winnipeg.

Probably same amount of people who thought your initial post was the right idea

Yes.

As if they went to the Nob. Aren't the rippers there on Tuesdays?

I love it.
