I honestly think this leaves CBJ with a better blue line lol

From what I saw of him he looked damn good

I thought so too. I guess with Skjei & Slavin in front of him & sheltered minutes etc. trade was inevitable but I don't get why other guys are getting entire oil fields for good players and promising, controlled youngster can't get much lol

A live look-in to 43's living room...

Was at the store with the wife when I saw the first tweet. I did indeed do a little dance.



Jake Bean is pretty seriously underrated, IMO. Good add.

With the turmoil that Chicago is about to go through, that could be a top 10 pick next year.

People are underselling how good Jones is (don't think he deserve 9.5, mind you) but he played the last two years in a crumbling Torts system in a pandemic fucked world with lots of injuries around him. I have still never seen him get beat one on one in all the years he was here.

I do believe he is a top 10/15 D man in the league still. Hopefully Chicago gets a lot out of him.

We fuckin' robbed 'em on this.

45% of the Hawks cap is tied up in just 4 players.

The rest of their cap is likely tied up in legal fees.

Stop. I can only get so erect.

I just think Vancouver would have been better off riding out this year with Beagle, Roussel, and Louie and keeping the 9th overall pick as well as the picks in 2022. However, I'm not in the industry

I Would loved to keep 9 but it gets rid of dead cap room that Canucks fans have been clamoring for a while.

It also helps us with the Huhges and Petey contracts

Hey pix, how's tricks?

Hey pix, how's tricks?

Keeping’ sticks in…clicks, fix, six?

Doing pretty good overall, relaxing a small bit after the longest year of my working life. Round two coming soon, of course…not likely to be much easier. Slowly watching my team age into the inevitable mediocrity that comes with years of winning, the usual. But hey, I could be a Flyers fan today.
