imo, i like tucson waaay better than phx, but yeah no hockey there at all

you can ski on mt lemmon though

we didn't have time to get down there on this trip. we'll probably go back in the fall and poke around more in phx and definitely go to tucson. the lack of a rink is a problem. and a potential business opporunity!

Is it June 15th yet? At least then we'd have buyouts to talk about. Think they'll buyout Briere day 1? Or wait till the end....

june? pffft, is it f'ng october?

if they are still considering using one on Bryz, and I don't think they are, they may wait to see if strombone gets bought out early.

Possible. I can't see Vancouver trading him for more than peanuts, I wouldn't trade him if I were Gillis now, leaves the door open to recapture penalties if he retires.

not according to many in here. perhaps literally not today however.

i know! lets cry about homer not giving us anything to cry about

i'd just cut bait cleanly. no negotiating, no nothing. here's your money and thanks for your service. move on. it would be better for lu. he still gets a huge payday and can sign a reasonable deal somewhere else that can use the money they're not paying him for other parts.

that's dalarna, but you don't need to explain it to me in fancy terms. these must exist somewhere as a decanter.

homer isn't polarizing enough we should fire him

It'd be better for everyone involved. Except maybe the bean counters for the Canucks.

definitely. and re-hire jay snider!

what's 30-40 million dollars to those guys, especially spread out over 18 years? they have a license to print money up in orca bay.

Sex panther?

it's made with real bits of panther....so you know it's good.

They'll have to place him on Waivers first, so that's when you'll know.

Does that go the same for Bryz then too?
I would think trading Lu to Florida for futures would be better, no?

Not really. If thy trade him, they're still on the hook if he retires early. If they go the CBO route, they're free and clear.
