The part I left out was that Russ also said Utah had the most dinners with players out of all the NHL teams, so clearly they are doing due diligence. And it should be obvious that my opinoin might change as I receive more information. You can state your opinion without insulting me, you know that right?

Actually there was a good inteview with Brent Flahr posted in the Inquier this morning, and Flahr was asked about moving up or down in the draft, and he stated they have had conversations with teams about this. In the end Flahr said the decision to move up or down is typically done at draft time based on which players are selected. I was at least encouraged the Flyers seem to be looking at what options they have to move up.

You're seriously not aware that the decisions to trade up or down are made at the draft table? How long have you been following hockey? You're incapable of using your own thinking and coming to your own conclusions. Influenced daily by what you read and hear. It's not insults. It's just the sad reality. Hysterical that you think having the most dinners actually means anything. You're complete clueless.

It's the Frost thing except it went on for 5-years and by the end Wennberg was reduced to a nub.

Friedman on the Caps buying CapFriendly (32TP): "There are some teams scrambling today, no question about it, there are a couple of people who said to me there will be some teams that don't have this kind of infrastructure that will be like "oh no, we're in trouble here""


Bill, any idea on where the Flyers stand in relation to this situation? Do they use capfriendly or have their own internal system?

tyler Johnson on a 1 year deal?

Alex Wennberg?

- hello it's me 2050


I was looking at some names. Obviously anyone would need to be a one year deal and I can move him at the TDL.

I thought of these guys as maybe someone this works for:

Chandler Stephenson
Yakov Trenin
Tomas Nosek
Anthony Maanta


But this also would need to go with moving on from players like Laughton. Sending Deslauriers and Atkinson to Lehigh.

Also the deals would need to be deals that can be moved at the TDL.

Maybe.

I was trying to find guys that would be good players to move to a playoff team at the deadline.

very very very shocked.

he wasted his, well others, money on a high priced lawyer. public defender could have done the same job.

- hello it's me 2050


Of course you are shocked. Weren't the odds you gave to the opposite verdict "100%" just a few days back?

It is, after all not often you see a full 100% odds fall to 0. Ha ha.

It was 20 years ago that Torts won his Cup with an All star roster in a league with no salary cap. Since then he's won five playoff series. Is that mainly his fault, or the fault of hundreds of different players across five teams?

Not a good look for the league:

"I had a GM tell me he loves the layout of cap friendly. it is so clean and easy to use. The NHL's database he was told by the GM is terrible, the login process fails, and it is night and day difference trying to read"

Why? He’s an admitted addict. There were texts from him admitting he was using during the time of the purchase. Seemed pointless, to me, for him to not just admit guilt to begin with.

I wonder how many drug users answer yes to that question when they are filling out the forms to purchase a gun?
