Hahah thanks.

But I’ll never be a regular here again.

The mods don’t do their jobs.

How’ve you been?

I’m good man. Been a poop show in Van this year so not watching or talking hockey as much.

World is going to hell in a hand basket. Very fortunate to be rural and mostly self sufficient if need be. Put a ton of time and effort into the homestead but well worth it.

Surveying for a playoff team to cheer for atm, lol.

Feel free to volunteer if you think you can do better. Its funny having people backseat moderate all the time but too chicken to step up.

Until then you can keep your comments about me to yourself or shoot me a PM.

Don't circumvent the filters.

Also the world/political comments can begin to subside. If things go too far ill just ban people. Just be civil about it.

Aaron, I used the word shift, instead of the obvious. You edited my post to make it into a curse. How is that possibly improving anything?

Shift show, is a nugget that has been coined on Twitter, as it conveys both the current state and the hope that things are shifting to something better in Van.

Obviously the big question is where the Leafs peg his upside versus what he might do if he plays at all this year. I think that’s why Dubas makes a point of differentiating between trading him for a rental or a guy with term.

Ideally, at some point, Knies becomes the kind of power forward they’re looking to trade for and for a while anyway, he’s much cheaper. BUT, maybe he doesn’t pan out. Dubas seems to be saying that he’s not willing to risk trading away that possibility for a rental but that he might for the right guy with term.

Fair enough, but I was thinking more about this year. If you can add a top 6 without trading Knies, then you can have him join the team and experience playoff hockey in the bottom 6 rather than counting on him to be an impact player in the top six.

If he adapts well or even excels, move him up the lineup or get him on the 2nd pp unit.

If he fails miserably, just take him out of the lineup.

Seems like a good development strategy and give you some insights into his ceiling.

How about you and Zezel stop judging everyone and everything. A couple of insufferable jackasses who should just shut up.
