  3. The Trade Thread

    34 and a knee injury is a bit scary but his faceoffs and corsi are still off the charts... still taking Statsny helps Vegas more than it helps us

    Part of me hopes that Chevy strings McPhee along right up until UFA opens and then pulls the trigger on another trade

    Shattenkirk ($7mx2) and Turris or Galchenyuk ($3.5mx2?) would be my main targets - this team needs experience and leadership

    Shattenkirk would transform our powerplay instantly 

    Other notables - Borowiecki would be a nice 3rd pairing with Pionk

    I'd give Buff a call again for a one year contract and playoff run... he is a pretty random guy and had a full summer of fishing to think about things

    Your claim was that they were not informed for a week without saying by who.  Not sure that was on purpose to make it harder to refute or just an honest omission of an important detail.

    I can tell you that this came as no surprise to anyone on campus when it was first reported (less than a week after the test result came back).

    Obviously you have a stake in this game so you want to twist my original statement 

    And your second paragraph is 100% false unless you are calling this staff member a liar

    A.  That was not your original claim

    B.  Still not buying it. 

    Don't tell me what my original claim was just because you now don't have an argument

    Staff worked at the care home without knowing there were covid positive patients present.  That was the original claim - you said its 100% false - seeming like you had a counterpoint - and now you just shrug and say well I still don't believe it anyway... typical of how people argue nowadays.

    I remain anonymous for reasons, but I'm close enough to the situation to know that your source not being informed was not the fault of Bethesda Place.  

    Bethesda was not informed by Manitoba Public Health...

    Some pretty interesting stats shared by Dr Rousin today. Of the current hospitalizations the age range is 17 to 88. Patients in ICU include people in their 20s, 30s and 40s. 
     

    Not just one demographic is having serious outcomes. Also not all have pre existing conditions that make them more susceptible to serious outcomes. 
     

    If you have a chance these are almost always a good listen.

    I clicked on the link but can't handle that much Roussin...

    Made it here...  https://news.gov.mb.ca/news/?archive=&item=49358

    Interesting because I know that the 'Northern Health region' case is actually someone living in Winnipeg but just had a northern health card...

    Testing is below national average so our infection rate is likely artificially high if tests are skewed towards symptomatic

    The three new deaths are again from long-term care homes... but I see no new precautions for those locations

    I know for a fact that the Steinbach care home staff were not informed they had covid positive patients until a week after diagnosis.

    Of the ICU patients, the age range is 17-88 then of the six people - one is 17, one is 88, one is 20s, one 30s, one 40s and one unknown age...

    So I guess we assumed the three new ICU admissions are the younger demographic

    Anybody else feel the government is inconsistent with its guidelines? Don't do Thanksgiving with people outside your household but Halloween is ok or Don't do Thanksgiving but bars are still open? Or limit your contacts with others but people can still play hockey, soccer etc.

    Churches can operate with social distancing... to a maximum capacity of 500...

    No CANADIANS don't. You have mixed messages everywhere. From all levels of government & from all parties in power in different provinces. Read what rebusrankin said before you try to do stand up comedy here. 

    You are implying that Brian Palliser is Liberal...  you've gone full ISO these days... time for a two week timeout I think

    I get the idea of trading Laine if they don’t think they can afford him long term (I.e. if he costs them $10-11 million. + for 7-8 years), but the idea of trading him to fill holes elsewhere seems kind of silly. What is the point of trading for a legit 2nd line centre to feed Laine if it costs you Laine to get him? Unless you want to bring in 2 solid top 4 d-men and turn this team into a trap style all defence first Islanders clone. 

    Maurice didn’t fly to Finland to meet with Laine last summer because everything is fine...  just hope we are not trading him for sand and grit...

    Elliot Friedman reporting that Bryan Little is unlikely to play again. If his contract is now freed up ($5.3 million) along with Buff ($7.5) and Kulikov($4.3), what are the chances we can go after a decent 2nd line centre, starting D-man, re-sign DeMelo and extend Laine (who is already at $6.75 so even at $9 million/yr longer term only “costs” us $2.25 million over our current cap)?

    The Perrault contract is a real stumbling block to this plan...  with him on the fourth line you just can't make these four contracts work - otherwise its close

    Poolparty supposedly giving it another go in EDM.

    Has he put on 30 more lbs?

    If you have another suggestion for our 2nd LHD... Poolman maybe... I'm totally open to leaving Heinola at 3rd pairing to develop

    I have Samberg pencilled in to protect Pionk from Evander Kane... sadly.  

    But the vaunted Jets prospect pool is long gone...

    My fantasy trade is Vesalainen for Noah Juulsen

    Otherwise we really don't have anything to trade...

    Target Shattenkirk at an overpay 1 year deal... and sign one of Ceci, Gudas or DeMelo 

    Prefer Roslo at 2C but I like the Cirelli offer sheet rumour... or sign Galchenyuk to a 1-2 year deal and hope he clicks 

     

    Connor-Scheif-Wheeler

    Ehlers-Cirelli-Laine

    Harkins-Copp-Roslo

    Perrault-Lowry-Appleton

    Morrissey-Shattenkirk

    Heinola-Demelo

    Samberg-Pionk

    Or confirm there will be a vaccine before Election Day?

    This is my call...  Trump emerges as 'patient zero' for a new vaccine and shakes the 'didn't do anything about covid' criticism just in time for the election - then the vaccine turns out to be bunk just after he's elected.... 

    I don't trust any of the press releases from the White House and Republicans
