that'd be some 4D chess for sure. If anything was even close to being imminent, you'd surely expect them to start Vladar in order to avoid the risk of injuries that could nix a deal.

Speaking of chess… a while back I was at a thrift shop in the southeast and came upon a beautiful hand carved chess set that featured Cowboys on one side and Indians on the other.

I wondered “oh, is this problematic?” And then I decided “no, because this is actually a fair fight.”

That said, it becomes problematic if the colonizers play first.

IMO.

Ultimately, I declined to purchase because they wanted $1100 for it, but if I had like, $75k extra lying around, I’d probably still buy something Lord of the Rings themed instead.

Geekie makes the deal work if we retain half. Cost controlled and rfa at end of current contract. Loss to LA hopefully gets this deal closer, depending on what the add would be in addition to Geekie.

Or we sandbag this game against Detroit to make NJ even more desperate.

Tampa defense is non-existent. They could make a play sooner rather than later, for a Flames or Flyers D.

Why are the Flyers selling? They're right in it aren't they?

I hope Conroy takes this Detroit game (and the Stadium series game) as the closing of negotiation window.

Get out in front of the market again and do your business. We've got the players that are going to set the market.

Briere is Conroy East. He said that he was going to not hesitate to sell UFAs if the price is right. Walker is as good as gone, and he's been taking calls on Seeler and Risto.

They lost heart whose a big reason they've been competitive.

They've been following the same mantra as the flames. Retool whole staying competitive.

Because they’re tired of being what they have been.

They know they don’t have what it takes to win a Stanley Cup, and are acting accordingly from a management perspective.
