I love barbless. I release most of what I catch, so it's great. Have one quick goto knot. Unlike you, it never fails.

Teaches you to keep a tight line.

Oh, it was sarcasm. Obviously the answer to your entire flow chart is that "it's just not that easy". As management has stated they aren't going to make a deal just because.

Yes, they want to fix the D. You need another team willing to make a trade with. You need free agents that fit into your cap and even want to come to your team. No one wants Miller past 30, why would they sign a 30 year old D long term.

They wanted more speed, signed Mikhleyev.
A right shot center Lazar.
More grit Joshua.
More scoring Kuzmenko
4 out of 5 things have been done already.

Yes, they will do the same thing as the last management because between trading, free agency, drafting and developing. I'm not sure there is another way of changing the roster.

Really think Kuzmenko addresses scoring? For the one panarin that comes over, there are several dozen shirokovs.

I have a knot for dry flies. I have a knot for streamers and leaches, knot for chironimids and micro leaches. I have a knot for tippet to leader, a knot for a swivel. I also have a knot for leader to fly line as well as a couple for fly line to backing depending on how big the game fish is(like tarpon). I also have a bait loop knot for roe... I have some others as well but there's too many to remember. They don't fail if used for the right application.

I don't consider it a fail when a fish size out classes the gear you are using. If the knot didnt break, the rod would when you tried to stop it from running away from all your line. The knot is usually the weakest point of the line. If the line breaks first, it was flawed or damaged.

Did Anton Rodin win the gold helmet? Of course he will help.

I wouldn't count on Kuzmenko for production yet. It remains a question mark. We can cross our fingers and hope he gets it together in one season. If he struggles in season 1, I don't know if he sticks around for another.

Wow ya nasty today reading back.

I think we can all at least agree horvat will have a career year in this contract year no?

Not to be overly pessimistic here, but i think kuzmenko is set up to be a frustrating one either way. If he plays well it's likely a one year flash in the pan and gone UFA to highest bidder next year. If he busts, well that.

One knot. Many many many fish. Been tying it since I was 6.

If you only fish one way, then one knot will get you by.

Even when I chrironimid fish, there's several knots on my set up. All different from fly to backing. Loop Knot the tippet to the fly(it has many names), Improved Synch Knot the tippet to tiny swivel, Improved Synch Knot leader to the swivel, Loop Knot leader to fly line loop, Nail Knot backing to fly line, Arbor Knot backing to fly reel spool. Some of these knots like Nail Knot use to be pretty tricky but I can almost do it blindfolded now...

Not saying the guy is the next bread man or Kapirzov but another Mikheylev or Barabanov possibly which does add secondary scoring, which was sorely lacking last season. Kuzemnko does have better KHL stats than the latter 2 and those 2 have been half ppg nhl players so far.

Knot fight.

Hes a free gamble, great signing. I like the 3 ruskis, mixing it up is one rhing we needed. Seems clear they wamt to trade a forward fir d whther its JTM or Garland. Were not done imo.

One thing working in his favor is that he’s a bit older than the traditional prospect. I agree, he’s not likely to do what Panarin or Kaprizov did, but he’s also not going to be playing with anyone even as remotely talented as Kane.

I’m hoping for something around 18 goals, 45 points and not a disaster without the puck.

I guess you didn't.

Apparently Mikheyev told Kuzmenko Vancouver was his best option. Season hasn’t started and he’s already gotten an 🍎

I think Bo is going to sign 8 years and there will be tears at 7.5

Been hearing this quite a bit...

One year 1.2 million for Stecher in AZ. Canucks were one of a few teams in, but he chose the desert. (@irfgaffar)

Quite funny, not only is this management content with Benning's roster for the most part, they even tried to bring back the scraps he let go...

I’m soooo glad Stetcher isn’t back. Canucks fans can’t let go
