One game I don't mind him. It will be the other 81 that will remain to be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cross16 Posted Friday at 05:02 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 05:02 PM Rooney to IR and Kirkland up.  I'm surprised by that. Thought Morton would be on their radar before Kirkland.   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTech780 Posted Friday at 05:05 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 05:05 PM I think this team is going to surprise some teams and they will be a harder to play against. I wouldn’t go as far as saying they are a playoff team, but I don’t think they will be a bottom 5 team. Now that could change depending on goaltending and how the trade deadline goes.  I also think the Pacific is probably the weakest division in hockey. Vancouver is overrated especially if they don’t have Demko, LA isn’t going to be able to overcome the loss of Doughty and their goaltending is suspect. Seattle is probably going to be worse than Calgary. Anaheim and San Jose are going to be competing for the 1st overall pick again. That really only leaves Edmonton and Vegas as legit teams in this division. I think only 3 teams come from this division for playoff spots and if I could say only 2 would make it I would.  That’s going to mean that Calgary’s record most likely isn’t going to be as bad as people think.

And we slow trend downwards from Nov onwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTech780 Posted Friday at 05:16 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 05:16 PM I wonder if Calgary puts a claim in on Lavoie. We are short on center depth, Lavoie has size and can play the middle. Might make some sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might make some sense.  I had suggested it before we sent down Schwindt. I think he is at least decent enough to play 4th line. I saw some of his play as an Oiler. But I don't know we want to bother with EDM players right now. If we ended up waiving him, he might be able to pass on practice secrets. LOL. Like we have any.

cross16 Posted Friday at 05:27 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 05:27 PM Doesn't make sense from my perspective. I don't think Lavoie offers you anything you don't already have so you are just clogging up the situation for your own prospects.  Get center is a bit thin but I'd rather use Kirkland short term and consider Morton, even Kerins, long term than use Lavoie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO Lavoie does not. I was not familiar with Pachal's game pre waiver claim but I'm fairly familiar with Lavoie's and I would not claim him. I don't think he is an NHL player so I don't see the upside.  Flames clearly saw some upside in Pachal and also the difference for me is it was at a position where they were very thin at and there was no one he was blocking. Lavoie is blocking multiple prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTech780 Posted Friday at 06:15 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 06:15 PM Vegas claimed Lavoie again and they were the only team to claim him and thus they sent him to the AHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cross16 Posted Friday at 06:21 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 06:21 PM It's a pretty rare one but this looks pretty dump.  Original Edm's player they want him in the AHL so waive him. Team claims him but also wants him in the AHL so they waive him so original team takes him back and upon waiving him Vegas reclaims him and despite the fact he was originally Edm's player and they clearly want him in their org Vegas gets him and can send him down.  Rare case and can't design a rule for everything but logic is pretty broken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirkland is just as good as the name brands, I'm told. I mean, it could be Great Value, which clearly isn't as good as the name brands. He has Our Compliments. As I understand it, he has some Signature moves. He's not a No-Name. If I presided over Presidents, he'd be my Choice.🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gardening in October = the struggle is real. lol I still have lingering squash, tomatoes, peppers. I'm tired of them, and monitoring overnight lows. Maybe 2 more weeks before I till it all asunder. Huge difference here is herbs. I had to give them their own are because they re-seed like crazy. All of them, so I let them. They are not annuals here. Well, they are, but the seeds don't care. Let them fall. Even scallions, cilantro and basil. Things I didn't expect. Though I do love low maintenance. Some things are considered noxious weed here, surprisingly. Morning Glory, Heliopsis, Sweet Pea and many of my Alberta faves for show are considered invasive. I was shocked. I can grow 7' tall Burgundy Amaranthus for backdrop, so that's fun. Many inquiries. "Here, take a piece of flower and dry it. There will only be 8 million seeds". They're a spectacle...yet edible. Every last piece. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
