If Trump is re-elected, do you want him to push for the repeal of the 13th Amendment, so that you can have actual manservants?

I prefer 10% inflation and 5 dollars gas with a -2% GDP growth while sending our oil reserves to china, beats mean tweets any day

China Joe!

Wanting and Getting are 2 different things. But some Flames fans have said he was decent for them.

His numbers were surprisingly strong, but so is Calgary's system so idk how much confidence I'd have in that.

Might makes sense for a contender looking for an LHD short term.

I don't think he'll sign but on the off chance he does I'd be interested in the domino effect from it.

I don't know that their plan long term was to have 2 LHD's play the right side or to juggle minutes for 4 on the left side.

This shouldn't be an issue for Dahlin at all. He's shown to be more than capable on either side, as you'd expect from him not because he was 1 OA, but because that's where he's played in the past effectively in the SHL.

So yeah, might be an issue for Johnson, but shouldn't deter from playing the best top 4 they have with heavy minutes.

Have heard some teams internally debating the merits of offer sheeting Jake Oettinger, who is coming off his entry level deal. Would imagine Stars would match absolutely anything. But I know some teams are debating it. Which doesn’t mean they will actually do it. Tempting maybe?

Ethan Prow could probably play his off side in that league. He looked fine in the small sample he played in the NHL with Samuelsson, but that's all we have. And he may very well hold his own there, but that's not really want from Dahlin, right? You want him to excel, and his best work may come from the left side.


Off hand, I don't know any team that has successfully made 4 LHD/RHD work in their top 4 long term.
