sweep the leg

Why is it a "so called" Canadian Draft? It's a "draft" for "Canadians". Seems appropriately titled.

1 yr / $1.25M per for Ehrhoff in LA.

The two teams that smashed us also soundly beat the Riders. Two of their close losses were to a team we beat. Also, we've beaten them already.

IMO the Ticats have the best qb, ol, and receiving corp in the league. Add that to what so far has been an historically good D, and they're looking pretty friggen good right now.

I had him, but changed my mind and switched my roster right before the deadline. I also added Cato in that same stroke of genius...

Produces a lot of it too.

This seems a little much on the opposite side of the spectrum. No way Philly would ever give us that much.

Think it through. Antoine Vermette was worth a 1st rounder. Do you think any team wouldn't trade Vermette for Buff?

Well, sure, and I'd take a Lotto Max win.......... Buff would get us a very good return. Look at what dmen were going for at the deadline, & none of them were as good as Buff.

As the Conservative's Minister of Propaganda, it's TUP's job to know these things.

I think the biggest issue with the Senate scandal is that they appear to be getting caught in lies about it. If they hadn't tried to cover it up it would be Duffy painted as the bad guy, not Harper. Or at least not to the same degree he is now.

I could just have blind faith that the coaches are infallible. That always works right? Never been a coach made wrong decisions in the past right? That's not a defense to you not knowing what you're talking about.

Who said that? If true, that's fantastic.

Kessel's been working out with Gary Roberts this offseason. He's going to be a beast this year.

At what point does Trump stop being a joke and actually become something to be afraid of? As president he would be a foreign affairs disaster.

I have no interest in bringing Tlusty back. He's a skill guy without much skill anymore. Stempniak would be great on the 4th line if he's willing to do it for a reasonable price. Seeing as how nobody has signed him yet, it doesn't look like he is.

And that's how you make a fool of yourself in front of the country.

Google Tom Lukiwski, MP and current Parliamentary Secretary then consider this a case of the pot calling the kettle black. That said, each party is going to have candidates with a few skeletons in their closets .. you'd hope that the people vetting these individuals would do a more thorough job and ensure they are fit to represent the values of their constituents and Canada as a whole. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwumZ5I6vkM

Iso, I think what Mike's saying is that Simmons is losing out on bonuses b/c he's not playing.

This part is a cheap political move. The term kangaroo court comes to mind.

Those guys put it on too fast. I read somewhere Ehlers put on 20 pounds this offseason. That's a pretty big difference in his body to get used to.

I thought I just did... No you didn't. You said he needs to gain experience in the AHL. Sure, OK, maybe. But a year or two in the AHL isn't going to put 20 pounds on his frame. He doesn't gain anything from playing against players like that. You think Scheifele wouldn't be getting thrown around if he had played in the AHL first? It really makes no difference. As for whoever commented on his defensive game needing work... Have you ever watched him play? He is a far more complete player than Ehlers at this point. Experience doing what? Playing against larger, faster players (men). For a small guy who's a playmaker, he'll have to get used to not having the time & space he did against lesser players in Junior. The difference between him and the other little guys in the league (Gaudreau, Johnson) is their skating. I don't think Petan is a great skater. Anyways, my point (and I didn't say learn, I said "get used to") wasn't just about his size. If it was only about size, I wouldn't be advocating for Ehlers to make the team this year. Scheifele got thrown around in Junior too. I'm not sure what his problem was. High centre of gravity?

I thought I just did...

The players in the AHL are a lot bigger and faster on average than Junior players are. Petan is neither big nor fast. It's a big jump in the calibre of hockey so imo he'd be better served learning to deal with it in the minors. I wouldn't ignore a great camp though. If he lights it up in preseason I'd give him the 9 games to see how he does. Ehlers has two things going for him that Petan doesn't, great speed & he's not eligible to play in the AHL. That's why I think he'll have an NHL job before Petan.

It's not impossible, but I don't think Petan will be a Jet this year either. He's a pretty small guy. Give him a year or two in the AHL getting used to playing against men. Lemieux isn't ready for the NHL yet. It'll probably be a few seasons before we see him. IMO Copp & Ehlers will be the only two rookie forwards on the roster this season.
