Someone else who needs to be punished for bringing Harry Potter into this world

well she'd be the main culprit for that, obviously.

personally I'd have a special "punishment" for Emma Watson, nothing too harsh or unpleasant.

yeah, the rumor mill should get going a bit more with the start of training camp, although specifically for the habs I'm expecting Hughes to pull off a trade no one really saw coming anyway...
- Pat1993


maybe he trades a defenseman but I expect more action around TDL. We will see. I dont know who has to be waived if they go to Laval

I've only watched the 1st movie. The books are a source of anguish for me as I was considering an advanced reader in elementary school

yeah it can be annoying trying to keep up with that, luckily we have websites that can provide us with the info:

https://habsprospects.com/waivers.html


they have a lot of guys on the roster that don't have to go through waivers so I'm sure they'll be able to avoid losing anyone for nothing... as you mention there could potentially be more action around the TDL, if there's vet or a few defensive prospects that are doing really well during the season it could be perfect time for Hughes to flip those and address other needs the team is having.

You're getting Cody ceci too
- mr.peanut


That one would not be surprising, if the picks added are good and the Habs can flip him with 50% salary retained.

so you considered the advanced reader, did you end up doing anything with it?




I guess the advanced reading doesn't necessarily equate to advance writing...

why would the habs take an overpaid and not so good dman..? there'd have to be a very sweet deal in place where the habs have to take some money back or whatever, because it isn't an ideal acquisition for sure.

I did pretty well, but never felt challenged because we didn't have enriched programs for English, so I got complacent

thanks for the site

both Harris and Barron would have to be waived so I expect them to make the team. Le chausson strudel et Mailloux nont pas besoin donc selon moi ils commencent a Laval.

Wifi na pas besoin detre soumis au ballotage, mais je mattends a un debut de saison a mtl.


Matheson-Ghule
Hutson-Savard
wifi-Barron
Harris

On verra si ?Hutson fait lequipe des le depart aussi, il y a de la competition.

yeah, my high school English classes all felt very useless to me, and I remember one time I got caught rolling a joint in class by the teacher, and instead of giving me some kind of consequence or sending me to the principal's office he gave me a book to read, Animal Farm by George Orwell, which actually ended up being a good read.

that teacher was pretty cool lol.

je l'espère, s'il est capable de suivre le rythme de la LNH avec du temps de glace un peu plus limité pour commencer, c'est clair que ce serait bénéfique pour son développement de le faire... il a l'air d'avoir assez de skills pour se débrouiller si on se fit au très petit échantillon qu'on a vu de lui l'an dernier.

We read that in sec 5. Unfortunately, our teacher that year was checked out. This followed up a year of an ELA teacher who didn't think reading, writing and working on grammar was important

Either free time, or put our chairs in a circle and discuss stuff. He'd then make up grades for our report cards

Il a joue quoi 2 matchs avec le CH? Dans tous les cas ce ne serait pas fou de le jumeler avec Savard. Jai rate les matchs ou il a joue et je trouve que les fans semportent un peu avec ce defenseur, mais bon. Le chasson strudel et Mailloux vont pousser pour une place avec le grand club, mais cest pour ca que je voulais voir qui doit passer par le ballotage. Selon moi ce sera un facteur important. Ce serait bete de perdre Harris ou Barron pour rien.

les fans s'emportent souvent trop facilement avec la performance des joueurs, c'est vrai, mais sans farces dans le cas de Hutson on a toute de suite vu qu'il a de la créativité sur la glace, sans être le joueur le plus rapide il est capable de tourner sur un 10 cenne et manier la rondelle dans des espaces restreints.

j'ai hâte en criss de le voir aller sur le power play, ça devrait vraiment faire du bien à l'avantage numérique du CH qui avait pas nécessairement l'air décousu mais qui était pas très productif non plus.

As someone who has taught it, nothing beats starting every class with silent reading

Like I said, depends on what else the Oilers offers and if HuGo thinks they can flip him with 50% salary retained.

yep, will be very interesting to watch the race.
Struble, wifi, Hutson, Reinbacher, Mailloux... all can go to Laval without going through waivers. only a few spots are open unless Hughes finds a way to trade Harris and Barron.
I don't know... let say for Letang? lol
