LOL now we're cutting quality veterans to make room for a 7th round draft pick. How ridiculous.

He's a part of the core group right now and for the next 3 years. Connor? Why Connor? Why not whoever we pick in the top 10 this year? Give it a few years and you'll be bitching about those guys you call the core group and saying we should move on to younger players. And so the team never improves. But hey they're young!!

No kidding. Then you have one of the Women's March organizers tweeting out that "Sharia Law is actually quite reasonable, people just don't understand the details." What an absolute farce.

Sure has looked good on the top line with Scheif and Laine. We're bumping Perreault to the third line now for a guy who got demoted to the AHL after being totally ineffective in the NHL? Maybe Connor will develop into a top-six guy but it's not guaranteed. Pump the brakes.

Losing something suggests losing something. An asset that is no longer with the team. And that is going to happen either way due to the expansion draft. Make room for youth? What?? Who?? We have room. We have close to the youngest team already. Do we really need to get even younger? Let Connor and Roslovic fight for a spot next year and if they can't earn one they will be brought up eventually as injury-replacements. No need to ship out good players to "make room." Then what are you suggesting we get? A kid that has never played in the NHL? There is no way to know if that kid is NHL-ready then. That's a gamble. I wouldn't give away Perreault, I would protect him.

What do you mean you're not losing anything? You're losing the player you traded away. An "NHL-ready prospect".... what is that? How do you know they are NHL ready? Are you getting a prospect that can replace Perreault's 40 points next year? The year after? 2 years? When? Are you getting a Lowry/Armia type of guy back? So you trade away Perreault for a Lowry/Armia type and then lose Lowry/Armia in the draft? Logically it just makes no sense.

You're losing both if you trade one away. I'd rather lose one for nothing than both and get back a prospect and/or pick who may or may not ever be NHL players.

Perreault for a prospect and picks as you suggested.

No you aren't. Just admit that you misunderstood the original post and what I was responding to. Illegal immigrants with criminal records are NOT the same thing as refugees. It's two separate issues and I believe they should be dealt with in different ways. Don't try to twist my argument to be about refugees when it's about illegal immigrants with criminal records.

They've been shuffling the lineup trying to generate some scoring. 23 goals in the last 12 games. DeSalvo stopped scoring as soon as he got an AHL deal. Could probably throw De Leo on to that second line but I guess they are trying to spread the offence in the lineup. Sadly Lipon is probably the second best right winger on the team right now so that's right where he belongs. Either way it hasn't really hurt Connor as he's been their best scorer since coming down. Roslovic has totally turned off since the World Juniors. The prospect cupboard is suddenly looking a little bare. Comrie is suffering because the team in front of him plays like **** every night.

FS1 just can't compete with ESPN.

It was Walters' first trade. It's like keeping the first tooth you lose as a kid. Purely nostalgia-related.

Every time you move out someone, you lose someone else in the expansion draft. Say, you trade Perreault and get a pick and a prospect. Now you lose Armia/Lowry instead. Net Gain = Add pick and prospect, lose Perreault and Armia/Lowry. If you don't move Perreault, Net Gain = lose Perreault. Is one necessarily better than the other?

His name is "Wild" what more do you need?

"our"? Are we American? I'm not, maybe you are, I don't know.

IMO I'm just sick of trading players who are good NOW for draft picks who will maybe be good in five years. What are we doing? Let's win some f'n games.

Huberdeau is one of the best young wingers in the game. He is better than Perreault without question. That's how it helps the Jets.

He wasn't talking about refugees in the quoted post and neither was I. Quit moving the goalposts.

Good god what a terrible deal that would be! Please no!

So illegal immigrants with criminal records did not sneak in and commit crimes? Read the post you quoted. “What we are going to do is get the people that are criminal and have criminal records, gang members, drug dealers, where a lot of these people, probably 2 million, it could be even 3 million, we are getting them out of our country or we are going to incarcerate,” Trump told "60 Minutes” correspondent Lesley Stahl, according to a preview of the interview released by CBS. “But we’re getting them out of our country. They’re here illegally.” How did they get in, if not illegally? How do they have criminal records, if they have not committed crimes? You're going to compare their crimes to being an escaped slave? What a joke. That's an embarrassment and offensive to the history of black Americans.

Perreault and a first round pick for Huberdeau!

I just went over and searched Atomic but unfortunately left disappointed as no one was talking about me

Really? You're comparing the history of Black Americans, who were kidnapped from their homeland or born into slavery, with illegal immigrants who willingly sneak into America and then have the audacity to commit crimes?

Pretty cool. It's interesting that they are so close to the star that they may be tidally locked like the moon is to the Earth.... meaning the same side always faces the star. I think that would kinda throw out any concept of livability as one side would always be hot and the other would always be cold. But maybe not. Nice discovery. I wish I could live long enough that we could send some kind of probe there.

This is so ****** up
