I agree no way.

My point is Tampa has no reason to move him, so they'd ask for a ton if somebody calls them on him.

I agree and have said we should just stop pretending they will have to trade their best players because it seems almost every year we think they will and they don’t.

Would’ve been nice to grab JT Miller.

Andre Burskovsky

Two absolutely brutal misses by Botterill if he had the chance to get them

Because I believe neither of Cirelli or Point are available without a massive overpayment, I'd rather keep the 8th overall and Cozens while searching for other options like Henrique, Backlund (Calgary), Kerfoot, and maybe even Monahan.

They might not be available, but Adams has to show them he is in the game, because something else could evolve that helps us.

Worst case scenario:

Olofsson-Jack-Sam
Skinner-Cozens-MoJo
Kahun-Mitts-Tage
Routsalainen-Asplund-Okposo
Cj Smith


The big question is are Mitts & Cozens ready?

I don’t think it would be all that shocking if they do contribute in a meaningful way

I don’t understand why some are pushing back so hard about wearing a mask?

It’s really not much inconvenience
Just do it & stfu

didn't he mandate it?...anyhow...

teachers don't make enough to begin with even though they worked in a living, breathing petri dish pre-Covid...now they want them to work in a hazardous situation without hazard pay and sign a waiver?...

this is gonna be a helluva battle

I am against it from a legal issue, but I wear it every time I am at a store and I am not required to wear one


I do not wear one at the golf course or in the pool because I keep my distance at all times

Is Killorn a LW or a RW? If he's a LW, are you moving him Olofsson and Kahun to RW?

Killorn has 3 years left on his deal?

- kingcong39


Killorn is left, and yes I think Kahun and VO could play the right.

It's more the idea than the specific names I used as examples.

Sure

But would it shock you if Cozens, Mitts & Tage all score 15+ goals?

Is 45+ points out of the realm of possibility for Cozens?
Or even Mitts if he’s playing with Skinner?

I’m not saying this is what we should do
It’s mostly likely too much youth to ALL work out

But if we just replace maybe 2 of them with solid additions, i think we can be in pretty good shape
Not to challenge the Bruins or Tampa
But maybe Toronto
And certainly the playoffs

my wife is in a pickle

she has tenure
she has her slot at her school 5 minutes from our house

if she does not go back, she could lose her job, and even if she took a year off, she has the time, could lose her pension


the kicker is next year our dumb governor is going to pay new teachers more then she makes as a 25 year teacher in their first year

- homiedclown


Why?
We are mandated to wear seatbelts, and that’s for our personal safety
I see no legal problem to mandate wearing a mask for the general well being of everyone

i don't understand the "legal issue"...it has more to do with protecting others than protecting oneself...all this guff about infringing on one's freedom while making someone wear it is hogwash...the only freedom it's infringing upon is the right of the non-wearer to potentially, and unknowingly, spread a highly contagious virus to other people
