That would be a valid conclusion only if Winnipeg was the only destination capable of winning a cup. If a player wants to move to Tampa Bay or Vegas, they're getting the cup contender and the nice part-time residence. Pittsburgh Vegas Tampa Bay Washington Boston Toronto Nashville Dallas San Jose Los Angeles There are ten teams who could legitimately be viewed as contenders and every single one is a more attractive place to live... at least on the surface. And it's not just about Player X. It's about Player X's wife and kids. And every single place on that list is an easier sell than Winnipeg. "Hey babe, I need to put in a list of ten places I won't go. Any thoughts?" Yeah.... Winnipeg will be on that list. I love Winnipeg. But it will never be a prime destination for NHL players. It will be at the bottom of the list for *most* (not all!). There will be exceptions, of course, but in general.... people don't want to come here. That's just reality.

It's still Winnipeg. I don't know how anyone could be surprised.

Shocking!

I doubt he goes top 10. Maybe first round. However it wouldn't surprise me if pretty much every top QB coming out of the NCAA gets neg-listed. You never know when it might pay off or a guy will flame out of the NFL early.

He is still on Hamilton's... these lists are only partial. 10 out of up to 45 names. Nope.

I love those games too but I wouldn't shed any tears if they went away. 2011 East Final in -30 weather was a little much. I had a great time and the result was good.... but I still felt bad for the players.

If you aren't white, it's okay to be a criminal. It's not your fault, it's the system's fault.

The non-hockey-experienced "analysts" would be a lot more bearable if they didn't think their opinions were the gold standard just because they have some numbers attached. Gotta love the analytics nerds and cap-junkies who criticize GMs and coaches like they actually have any clue at all. My biggest pet peeve is "line optimization"... gimme a break. It's like the pesudoscience of the sports world. They over-value statistical analysis and undervalue anything that can't be directly quantified. And the worst of them draw shoddy conclusions from numbers that don't say what they think they do. I think there is a place for statistical analysis but it would be nice if the goofballs who swear by it also acknowledged its gaps and shortcomings.

I've refused to get a subscription so far based solely on the fact that I've seen ads every day for two weeks telling me "Get 50% off an Athletic subscription TODAY ONLY!!!"

Only guy I'd want is Rick Nash or maybe Patrick Maroon if he came cheap

Not so sure about that one....

I want to go to Finland and tell people I'm from Winnipeg and see what their reactions are

I've still yet to see any proof of Russian collusion. Yes it would appear that they interfered but I haven't seen the conclusive link to Trump. That would probably be a good reason to remove him. Just haven't seen it yet. Otherwise I agree... let the next election decide. As it should be.

Not much of that is really new or unique to this administration. And not one of those is affecting citizens on a day-to-day basis. America's not perfect but that's not new and it's certainly not a reason to remove the president.

The country seems to be doing okay. At least as well as it did with the last president. So I don't really see the issue.

Or none of this will ever happen. Probably the most likely scenario.

But....

Wow it's going to be a good night

DT is the one spot where there is an abundance of Canadian free agents.

So... maybe not such a big deal.

Kuale? And who else?

I couldn't care less about 3down's rankings but I love how upset the Riderfans will be with this.

If we can bring in Muamba by cutting TO I'm all in favour of it. But I also think we probably got a pretty reasonable deal on Roh. Day 4 of free agency and he isn't exactly a superstar.

You're right I did! Thank you for the kind words
