Is there more to the question/quote? That reads like the answer to a question about a hypothetical, like when he was asked whether or not he was open to the possibility of a sign and trade. Did he say that the Oilers had contacted him/this value had actually been discussed?
I see that my...
You are definitely excused for not knowing about him, I mean it is getting difficult to keep track of all of the sex offenders in our favourite sport these days :wink:
What a fun joke to make, I'm gonna go throw up
Wouldn't have been gone, he would have re-entered the draft next year. Could something bad have happened in that year? A possibility, sure. That's not even to mention the fact that what he did had no official impact, he basically just told everyone to take him off their boards when half of them...
We have nothing except Friedman and Johnston types saying vague "I heard they are talking" shit, no? It feels like the old "say something that could be true and sounds realistic and some people will believe it with no evidence if they want to" shit that always happens with these rumours. Hell...
Given the fact that none of the accusers/victims are female this move seems even lamer. He should have just been transparent about what he was doing and brought out a bunch of puppies.
I'm going to say that I still don't think there was even any discussion. And of course we've seen/heard zero evidence that there was at this point.
I actually think that if this story wasn't completely invented the trade would have actually happened, similar to something that I remember reading...
You see what I meant? Almost every response to that tweet is not only hoping but expecting that a trade is going to happen and the Leafs will be receiving something, even though I still haven't seen a reason to think that is more likely than a simple run of the mill signing. They just keep...
This is exactly how you ruin this kind of organization/business/brand/Harambe completely. Once this shit comes out (and I'm of course talking about when the complaint came up, not the lawsuit) you have to get ahead of it and make sure that you find out about everything (and everyone) and put...
I think that's part of the problem. It's one of those situations where Holland won't want to give up as much as Dubas will want and the valuations won't match up.
But that being said $400k or so can be managed easily, if your GM honestly thinks that amount would push them into "cap hell" that...
Even Holland isn't that stupid I don't think. And I think it's even less desirable for Holland considering that it seems like Hyman will sign either way and it's only about the limited cap savings (his signing doesn't seem to hinge on the 8th year and/or keeping other teams away from the...
I know exactly what the idea is. I am saying that the media keeps hammering the "there might be a sign and trade and an 8 year contract!" drum as a way to pretend that they were partially correct before (when they were completely wrong).
I don't think your math is right. In order to make it...
Until this actually happens I'll remain convinced that this is
a) a way for the media to to try to distract/save face after collectively displaying that they didn't even know (and couldn't take 30 seconds to research) that a team trading for the rights to a player after the trade deadline of...
That was a restless year for Ron MacLean, he visited a lot of towns and he met a lot of ladies. There's no shame.
edit: damn it I just remembered that it was high school grad and not birth year so now this joke doesn't make sense. It's staying up though
Now quick, who is the best defenseman with your mother's maiden name and the greatest organist to attend your high school? We're trying to have some light fun here for fuck's sake!
One thought that I had is, is there any (minor or otherwise) reason why it was done specifically like this?
If they want to keep both goalies and not risk losing Jake Allen why is the move to protect Allen, expose Price and make arrangements so that Price isn't taken rather than protect Price...
It's funny because I had a (funny) response to this. And then I didn't swing by here for a while, and in the meantime something happened that has enabled me to just save that response for another time :laugh3:
(but I do still have to say, you did seem to transition pretty quickly from...
