Well, at the very least it shows he’s planning on going for that. I hope he gets it.

900k. Wow. He’s a shell of himself but for 900k he’s a good locker room guy and still a decent puck mover.

Honestly, no I don’t think it sends a message when you are talking about people in that age group or at least it certainly doesn’t concretely do so. When I take multiple different criminal reports in the same school for these exact things that shows me certain age groups don’t exactly learn or grasp these things. When I see a DWI fatal accident with a 17 year old kid and later in the same year deal with other DWI situations with classmates that shows me kids don’t think that far ahead or even consider the ramifications as much as us adults do. Hell, many adults don’t even think “smarter” and they damn well should know. Cue ADA. You want to give the kid probation, or if he is drafted be forced to complete some mandatory program working with victims, or community service before being eligible to play, or any number of rehabilitation efforts to really cement it home what he’s done and hopefully now turn him into a productive person in a better position as an athlete to help the type of people he has hurt then I’m all for it. Simply saying “no, you’re done. Adios” isn’t the best solution in my opinion. Just my opinion.

I’m not saying to ignore it. I’m just saying “ok, you are now excluded from careers x,y, or a” because of a mistake as a minor isn’t exactly the best solution either. I also don’t know where we draw that line on what career he or she is now allowed to have. Also, let’s not forget he asked to not be drafted this year I believe. Making examples of people is something as a society I wish we would move away from and focus more on teaching, educating, and rehabilitation when talking about incidents at such young ages.

Well, we could have afforded that on a one year deal or with the idea to trade him once his contract was determined like sign and trade. Pretty fair contract for what he brings but won’t lose sleep over our return for him. Good for Buch and good for him the Blues to get him a bit cheaper than expected.

Weren’t there snippets of him saying he’s made his money, he’s not worried about that, etc during last couple of years?

I just don’t know what our end game is as a society with this. I can tell you I’ve taken many many reports of this exact same thing with some being even much worse scenarios of outing one’s sexuality. It’s horrible for the victims. In some talks with the suspects, they almost never understand the gravity of what they are doing. It’s a byproduct of just the idea cameras now are so readily available and integrated in our lives. It’s a byproduct of how little we educate generations of the impact of social media, multimedia, misinformation, cameras, etc. I just don’t think people understand the power of that with it being so accessible now or the lasting consequences of sharing private moments. What jobs can offenders then have if they’ve made this horrible mistake at 17 or 18? Forget what adults do. They should know better. 17 year old? 18 years old? It’s such an immature world out there these days. Should they know better? Sure. Do they? From what I’ve seen they often don’t. I just don’t like the cancel of the person idea. Yes the nhl is a privilege. I do get that.

MOD Edit: For context on the Mailloux story (and some apologies to Keirik for splitting this off from another thread somewhat ad-hoc): https://theathletic.com/news/prospect-logan-mailloux-withdraws-from-2021-nhl-draft-after-conviction-in-sweden/9WXHwcZ5XTpl I might be in the minority, but I don’t think what Mailloux did as a kid is all that uncommon. Shitty thing to do so I’m not justifying it but it happens a lot, especially among youth or testosterone filled rooms where immature guys try to prove their “coolness.”

It really does cut like butter and the 1.5 wider deck makes it much faster and efficient.

I have a toro. Go Timemaster. Honestly, you won’t regret it. 28” I believe instead of the normal 21/22”. You’ll thank me in the long run even if it’s not a huge yard. It’s a beast of another level. Edit, it’s 30” and my god it cuts amazing. Two blades. Like butter. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Toro-TimeMaster-30-in-Briggs-Stratton-Personal-Pace-Self-Propelled-Walk-Behind-Gas-Lawn-Mower-with-Spin-Stop-21199/300234121

Prisoner……..hmm….projecting your future?

Rather have Perry. The only receding hairline I prefer is

I’d actually be okay with this move he wins draws so there is that and is cost effective for four seasons. It’s a downgrade on offense for sure but if you planned on walking away from Strome….. He’s a pretty small player though and I’m not sure would thrive in our division but who knows. It still would be a gamble.

I feel like he’s a trap of a player in a cap world. Let another team overpay Michael Peca 2.0 while smarter teams get role players for cheaper instead of overpaying.

I think the answer there is pretty obvious http://www.gannett-cdn.com/-mm-/6b07b04fd8cbcc4c8edb1d79ae222a96e0c5cd33/r=342x400/local/-/media/2016/10/13/Westchester/wp-TJN-RangersReport-188535-mcilrath-first-goal.jpg?width=660&disable=upscale&format=pjpg&auto=webp

I don’t think he gets a ton more but he’s 3 years younger and was pacing about 20 goals this past season with pp time as well. A bit more offensive upside and hasn’t hit his exact “prime” yet.

It would if we had the money for him but with our wingers and upcoming contracts I doubt it. Maybe if we hadn't gotten Goodrow. I imagine he gets more than Barclay though.

Infracted

If cheaper then fine. Smith, for all his shortcomings, was very versatile for us. His last year impressed me a bit. Not saying I’d prefer Smith, but I don’t see this as too much of a difference, even from a 7th d perspective that will probably play a lot more due to injury.

Seems fine by me but isn't he basically a copy of Brendan Smith? Or is Smith pricing himself too high?

So true. When the FA rep bet came up, he was my first thinking before looking up news on him.

You’ll end up banned long before any team wins :p

If we wanted a team full of Ryan Hollwegs and Blair Betts we should have brought back Torts who’s teams have overachieved at times but hasn’t won a cup since 03/04 in a very different NHlL.

Could end up being a top bargain in the league
