Those guys are "Addition By Subtraction".........

Ryan Rishaug apparently reporting that deals in the works for Oilers to ship Teddy Purcell to LA and Justin Schultz to Pittsburgh....

Hoping he can get back to 100%. If he can, he's one of the best in the CFL, period...

Good deal for both sides. I'm a Hawks fan too, so I'm stoked to see Ladder with Toews on the top line. He's gonna be HUGE for them with no letter, no responsibility, and just getting his game back now after the surgery. He'll be rejuvenated by the winning culture.

Would love for this to be all for naught, and have Ladd sign a last minute deal. Apparently, tho, Darren Dreger is saying he IS scratched tonight......

I always find it interesting to see/hear that the organization is held in such high regard by players both current and former. It can't possibly be true because so many people on here told me this organization is a parriah, and nobody wants to be anywhere near it.

I'm getting a chuckle out of Dayn being the head of operations behind this whole project. I was doing colour for the Winkler Flyers broadcasts back when Dayn was playing and that kid was.....off. All goalies are a little different, to be sure, but that kid.....he was nuttier than most. Very curious how that whole distillery thing goes for them....best of luck, anyhow.

Not as big as you think. Hall, RNH, Eberle, McDavid, Drai, Klefbom, Nurse, Davidson.....all safe. Guys like Schultz, Yak, Purcell....likely a couple others.....on the way out, for sure. Schultz on the market for the last 6 months and nobody wants him. His stock has crashed THAT hard...

I don't remember seeing one when we were around during GC. Either way, this is supposed to be a gigantic 55k-sq ft LC Superstore. They'll have a lotta cool stuff in there, I'm sure, like a massive growler bar. It'll be neat for sure.

Outstanding...this is gonna be such a cool project when it's all done.

Sorry, you're welcome to Yak or Schultz, but not the top guys. But I'm a Jets fan too, so I don't want those guys in the 204. Send em to Florida or Columbus or something.

You want to surround your great prospects with the right kind of vets who can teach them properly. That's what Ladd can do. I'm not sure how much longer he should be wearing the C and playing big minutes but I like him as a L2/L3 W for another 5 years if we can pay him as such.

It will absolutely be the Jets 1.0 logo....they're not stupid.

I'd mentioned this earlier in the thread, but I actually liked these Gold's.....soooooo much better than the brown things they're calling gold now.

Raps and Leafs are pretty much able to do what they want, but until last year at the deadline, the Jays never had much of a budget. I'm not sure what the logic is, but Rogers doesn't see fit to pump money into the Jays organization, which is a real shame for the fans.

and they don't spend **** on the Jays, normally. Last year they had a bit of budget, but the Jays don't get much from Rogers.

I totally understand how good the guy is, but I've never been a fan of his attitude...just not my kinda athlete. I'd trade him in a heartbeat...

BOmbers officially announce Avon Cobourne as RBs coach....

I would think that if a team takes him on for playoffs, how he performs in the playoffs would go a long way to deciding if they want/can keep him...

I was gonna say, somehow mentioning that Iso complains about everything got me lumped in with Spuds......of all the things...

The girlfriend and I were talking about the food at CB and can't understand why people would think the food was so great. Even by pub-grub standards, it's "standard" at best...or the Red Deer one is, at least, and I assume they're all identical with the same re-heated food.

"....the drunken gambler???!!" "Yes, and who might you be?"

Best thing that could possibly happen for the Leafs....dump everyone from prior regime, and start from scratch. Build through the draft, surround the prospects with the right veterans, and you might have something. Good for Babs, Shanny and Old Man Winter...

here's the quote Lawless had: “You never know, with the interest this high, you might get more than a pick and a prospect. You might get a player too,” an NHL executive told TSN on Sunday. “The trick now is to not get greedy. If someone offers your price or better, now is the time to take it. The market can work in your favour and get you a high price. But it can also collapse on you.”

One thing Lawless was pointing out on Twitter yesterday is that a 1st from Chicago (or Wash, too) is basically a 2nd rounder. They want a higher 1st round pick + a prospect, and some of the media talking heads are saying their maybe enough of a market to get 1st + Prospect + Roster Player, because a team like Washington is so desperate to win now...
