It shouldn't really be different for anybody, unless you work at home by yourself. Why risk infecting others? What's the point?

I am not talking about that 39, I agree in that aspect, just he is dealing with the public more right know and has to becareful.

Does Pete still own the bar, hopefully he is taking care of you guys.
- Buff36



Yeah.

And he is.

Rewarding those who do as asked with more hrs and sending people home that don’t want to listen.

We’re down 2 employee’s already.

Sad as I don’t want anyone to lose work but the rules are in place to try and keep the business open and more importantly keep the health risk low for the public.

Those who listen will be there when we re-open for bar sales. Those that don’t, the bread line is to the left.

IMO, what we should do at forward next year:

Skinner-Eichel-Reinhart
Olofsson- _______ - _______
Kahun- (Cozens) -Johansson
Girgs-Larsson-Okposo(bc we have to)
Lazar

Prospects who could challenge for a spot...
Mittelstadt
Asplund
T. Thompson
Routsalainen

- jdfitz77


I can get onboard with this, maybe let Girgs walk and pencil in Roustalainen with Larsson and Okposo

I get what you are saying.

I work in an office that has roughly 700-800 employees, as my company services the NY State of Health Marketplace.

Somebody came in to work sick 2 Friday's ago, to a floor where all of systems, dev, coding, IT, and the PM's sit.

That person tested positive.

They had to close down that floor for 4 days in order to fully clean it so they could reopen it.

There was a noticeable performance drop due to the closure.

I still think Cozens starts off on the wing personally. Let’s say hypothetically we get Rossi/Lundell

Olofsson/Kahun-Eichel-Cozens
Skinner-Rossi/Lundell-Reinhart
Mojo-Bonino-Kahun/Olofsson
Asplund-Larsson-Okposo

- Pegullaville


Why would u start Cozens at wing,
but be ok with a guy we just drafted at Center right away?

Yeah saw that.

We’ve been 99% food takeout only and no one in the bar that doesn’t work there or on the property.

I have sold 21 bottles of beers and 2 growlers since 8 pm on the 16th.

- dadeadhead


I can’t believe places were trying to stay open
That was pretty dumb
Just put their liquor licenses in serious jeopardy

Rossi and Lundell both exhibit strong defensive tendencies already. Cozens fills a need at RW as we have a hole there. Makes sense to me.

I see a lot of ppl that are “ok” letting Girgs &/or Larsson walk

Don’t think they realize what a good job those 2 have done together in a VERY tough role

I’m not gonna let one walk to save 1mil? bc i “think” someone can perform as well as them getting all that defensive responsibility
Bad idea imo

Ralph said the organization views him as a center. I tend to agree. We'll see what happens I guess.


As a winger, I dont think he has the shot to put up goals, and it limits his playmaking ability which is supposed to be his bailiwick. If he ends up on the wing, he's gonna top out as a 3rd line PP2 guy imo

Reports are a $10k fine and suspension/loss of liqour license.

Swannie house was already in tax debt.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see that place go to auction.

Disagree as his shot is pretty damn good. Getting the space to get his shot off though is another thing.

A week or so ago, i read (forget where) that it’s being estimated up to 50% of independently owned bars & restaurants could close bc of this

That would be A LOT of ppl left searching for work when we finally get back to “normal”

We’re gonna be feeing the effects from this for quite a while
Well after places reopen

He has good hands and can finish in tight, but I dont think he has a good shot. Imo, of course

Let's say both Larsson and Girgensons are in demand by several teams, and you had to choose only one to keep so as not to overpay both.

The easy pick of the two is Larsson.

I think that's why you see many that are ok with Girgensons walking.

Idk that I’d wanna be plugging in someone at Center right after they’re drafted
U think those guys are “ready” to step right in?

Why are we assuming that?
Or that we’ll be priced out like some have said?

No way these guys are getting the $3mil Kaiser suggested with the Cap unlikely to go up

Who knows?
Maybe neither would want to even come back
But I’m not gonna factor that stuff in when thinking about wether or not i WANT them here or not

I think Byfield, Rossi and Lundell could step right in. Lundell might need time to adjust, but he shows flashes of Patrice Bergeron already.

A lot of younger people are dying though too, apparently those who are taking Advil are seeing huge increases of the disease spreading. So even people with non-existing medical conditions are getting severely sick as well if they mix with ibuprofen
- Pegullaville


I've heard both sides to that.
Some anecdotal info spread about it, yet a medical Q&A stated no evidence to support it.
Who knows.

Yeah right know if you show any symptoms of anything cold wise you should stay home. It's just to dangerous to everyone else, and Companies hopefully understand that, or what happened at yours will cost them even more money and losses.
