You said it wouldnt get talks started. You didnt say it wouldnt be accepted as the final deal.

I havent seen if this has been changed in the last couple of days but from BBC:Ahmad al-Mohammad, from Idlib in Syria, has been named as one of the attackers involved in Friday's terror attacks in Paris. His was the name on a Syrian passport found with the remains of one of the attackers, though the man's identity has not yet been verified. It is believed he entered mainland Europe after arriving by boat on the Greek island of Leros, like many refugees fleeing Syria's civil war. Additionally, other terrorists have entered countries as refugees, perhaps most infamously the Boston Marathon bombers. I'll be honest, as much as I think Trudeau's plan is politically motivated based on how it looks, and I think prudence requires a step back, I am hesitant when I see so many US states determined to ban refugees. I dont want to embrace a knee-jerk reaction. In a perfect world, or even a normal world, we should do our part to help people. However, its not a perfect or normal world. ISIS has said they will hide operatives among refugees. If it was any other group and any other event, we wouldnt hesitate but to choose more security. If Trudeau goes ahead with his plan and someone commits a terrorist attack in Canada or the US (entering by means of Canada) who was among these refugees, what would Trudeau say then? When someone says how they will attack you, you dont shrug and say "odds are long". How many Arab nations are taking in refugees? I think some people get this impression that the entire world is bringing in tens of thousands of refugees and us hateful Canadians are wanting to *gasp* fully vet any before we bring them in, and its not true. Never mind the economic and social issues of bringing in so many. Its a complicated issue. I'd love to help as many people as possible and accept that they are all good people with no ill intentions. But if I had to take responsibility for their actions, I couldnt do it. They have found something like 16 fake Syrian passports with the same name. I will have lost a link later That is very true. Its very easy to get a fake passport. Another reason we should insist on strenuous vetting procedures.

Postma and a prospect won't even get talks started... Really? If I was Snow and Chevy said "Postma and Connor", I'd be talking.

If Im recall (and Ill see if I can find it) didnt one of the Liberal ministers say vetting would be finished after the refugees were here? And I am sure Harper would have taken longer to bring them in. I think Trudeau just wants to say Canada did more, brought in more, faster than anyone else. And when the interests of safety of Canadians (and our allies) are concerned, perhaps slow and steady is better than fast and flashy.

New Star Wars spot that is pretty good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7n9GiZhqsyU&feature=youtu.be I have a theory that is surely not a spoiler since it unlikely. But the one character Im curious about is Supreme Leader Snoke, played with motion capture/CGI by Andy Serkis. There was a concept drawing "leaked" a little while ago showing him as a small-ish snake-looking character which seemed ludicrous to me (he's a snake so his name is snoke?). So I looked around the internet and awhile back there were set leaks that indicated he was actually a "very old, decrepit, almost zombie-like" character. There were also rumors that Palpatine would appear in some fashion but, unless its a secret cameo, Ian McDiarmid is not in the movie. Now a secret cameo is possible as I suspect we will see Yoda and I hold out hope for Ewan MacGregor, along with rumors of Hayden Christiansen). But what if Snoke is Palpatine?

Love Terrence Winter's work (Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire, Wolf of Wall Street). I hope he keeps making 5-6 seasons of adult HBO series' forever.

Because bragging once isn't good enough? No, I like the most amount of people to see it as possible! But really just being facetious because we as fans always say "this is what the Jets should do" when 99.9% of the time the coaches and management know better. So it's just shows you that something a lot of fans said from day one turned out to be the right decision for a change!

Posted in the NHL thread but better here. Let me reiterate, its nice to be right. (me and others)

hahahahaha Not only would Chevy laugh his ass off at that, the Isles wont get a package like that from ANY team. I wouldnt trade Little OR Helle straight up for Hamonic, let alone a package that includes both and a pick. Isles would have to throw in a whole lot of awesome for that. Hamonic us supposed to address the media today so we'll see what he sayd but Lawless was saying the request came in the summer and the first call Snow made would have been to the Jets so this tells you they were not able to come to a deal yet. And the fact this is public is probably Hamonic's agent putting pressure on Snow. So that changes thing. I wonder if the agent is privy to some of the names being thrown around and the pressure is not just on Snow but on Chevy as well, to bridge the gap and get it done. Also, curious as to what the reason is that the player feels he needs to be closer to home.

gary lawless ✔ @garylawless AAV of 3.8 makes Hamonic difficult to trade. most players of equal impact are going to be more expensive. Isles won't want to increase costs This is an interesting point. Although it makes Myers or Trouba attractive. I think Chevy can get the deal done without losing any core pieces of the D. I'd suspect a prospect and/or someone like Postma who is still young and has some upside could help make it happen. I know people around here crap on Postma but another team might see him as a solid reclamation project.

Sara Orlesky ✔ @saraorlesky #NHLJets announce that they have assigned Nic Petan to the Moose. And that sound you hear is a bunch more Moose tickets being sold. Its always nice to be right! ;-)

Never mind the economic and social issues of bringing in so many. Its a complicated issue. I'd love to help as many people as possible and accept that they are all good people with no ill intentions. But if I had to take responsibility for their actions, I couldnt do it. 1. The person blew him/her self up - but the passport was still in good condition 2. The desire of US governors to ban refugees - is also politically motivated 3. The refugees who will come to Canada have been in UN refugee camps for a few years 4. How many countries are taking in refugees? I would counter that with some other questions - which are merely food for thought a) How many countries took in Jewish refugees during the Holocaust? Very few b ) Did people / countries take a risk when they helped Jewish refugees? Absolutely c) Was it a greater risk than taking in the current refugees? It's hard to argue otherwise If point 1 is to imply some sort of Illuminati conspiracy, count me out. Every time something bad happens, it's always "our" fault either indirectly (we pissed off the middle east so now they've come to get their revenge) or directly (Bush himself piloted the planes into the WTC and transported off at the last second). Also if this was the first time someone posed as or otherwise was a refugee who committed a terrorist attack in the name of radical Islam, you'd have a point. As KBF stated, its about proper security measures. This 25,000 plan was a political decision to paint Trudeau as the opposite of the vile, racist Harper. And you know what, if Harper had won and these attacks happened and if he was bringing in 25,000 refugees, I'd still want him to stand up there and tell us they were taking a long hard look at it. Trudeau seems more interested in maintaining his political vision then using (uh oh) common sense by at least saying "hey, everything is under review and we wont do ANYTHING until Im satisfied that there is a zero risk to Canadians".

Didnt a lot of Jets fan jump to another Canadian team as their favourite? Especially when the Oilers made their run. I actually kept following the Coyotes for a little while but my #2 team behind the Jets had always been the Pens, so they became my go-to team and the Ducks moved up to #2 simply because of Selanne. I can see why people like the Oilers. Those Oilers fans will be the "winners" in a few years when that team matures.

I hope they are receiving severance packages. Interesting that they are unionized by a national union and it could do nothing for them. All those dues bought a big load of zero job security.

If $90,000 for one afternoon doesn't inspire them to try hard, their WAGS eyeing the prize just might.

Trouba is RFA. Doesn't really matter what he wants.

@globalwinnipeg: NHL to play 3-on-3 All-Star tournament instead of a traditional All-Star game https://t.co/SGz3F70VFPhttps://t.co/LDd1klQyPD

Aren't some of those positions sort of necessary?

I wouldn't trade Hamonic for trouba straight up. Too much potential in trouba.

If we begin to expand on this deal does Ladd get thrown in and okposo the other way (both UFA's)

Schenn is RHD? Well **** him then.

It's Peluso on the 4RW. Goalie just mis typed

Id hate to lose Myers but he might be the odd man out if they decide to resign buff but it's almost conditions. Imagine trading Myers and then buff walks. Buff. Hamonic. Trouba. Strong RHD I wonder if this talk of enstrom being shopped is related. Trade enstrom for Hamonic and resign buff. But someone has to play off side on the left for sure Then send a package to philly for Schenn bros. Luke is a serviceable bottom LHD, no?

RHD. Harmonic, trouba, Myers is a heck of a right side. Supposedly he wants to be closer to home but Edmonton Journal repeats oilers are front runners. Lawless says Wpg mentioned first in Dreger tweet not an accident. When a local boy that good wants to come home you make the deal.
