2021 Roster Thread XIX - Who's In Net

[The Madrigal]

Provorov - Jones
Sanheim - Larsson
York - Braun
Morin

Provorov and Jones is the obvious top pairing that will finally improve the defense/team and make the advanced stats community heads explode.

Sanheim is a good player when he is confident which isn't always the case. He is also super soft. He needs to be paired with someone who isn't afraid to hit, block shots, and clear out the crease. Larsson can handle the dirty work while Sanheim can focus on his skating and possibly developing an offensive game. Larsson finally started to look like a high pick last season and is the perfect type of partner for him.

York is absolutely NHL ready and easing him in with third pair minutes and a solid veteran like Braun is going to make his transition and easy and likely successful.

I would find a taker for Hagg and sign Morin for a league minimum deal which I am guessing he would take. The NHL isn't what it was 20 years ago but having some toughness and size on a team is still valuable.

I would love Larsson on this team but I’d be shocked if EDM doesn’t resign him

 

[GKJ]

Everything I’ve heard says Larsson and the Oilers want that done.

 

[The Madrigal]

Everything I’ve heard says Larsson and the Oilers want that done.

I've seen the reports and they have been out there for weeks. Until it gets done it's always a possibility though. He would be the perfect partner for Sanheim and help unlock some of the potential that he has yet to consistently put together.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Larsson would be a good fit, but there’s been so much smoke about him staying in Edmonton that I’m assuming he will until free agency actually opens.

 

[Lindberg]

I can understand being vegetarian for moral reasons but I wouldn’t ever do it myself. Too selfish, too hungry.

Vegan just seems way overboard to me though.

Frankly there's a lot of reasons to go at least mostly vegetarian/vegan. Moral issues, environmental concern, eating healthier, and spending less money. One thing I wasn't aware of was that the meat industry as a whole causes 18% of all global greenhouse gas emissions. I'll even ignore all of the issues related to factory farming and the meat packaging industry. I don't think there's anything unethical about eating meat but the way the US etc. goes about it is pretty horrific.

Another thing that surprised me was how much agricultural land was used for meat production. If you don't know google it, you'll be shocked how much land is used for grazing and feedstock in comparison to how much land is used to grow vegetables. Some folks speculate that the way farming is done is eventually going to ruin all the topsoil and make the land infertile.

 

[Beef Invictus]

"The Meatles" would be a good band name

 

[Tripod]

Well Sanhero is an expert in all things soft am I right!?

I believe he is signing a deal promoting organic baby food this summer.

I think they’re just trying to get past expansion.

 

[Lord Defect]

Replace those dumplings with some quorn.

Ok, I don’t want him near this team now.

 

[FlyerNutter]

Ok, I don’t want him near this team now.

Strongly in favour of Quorn being the new helmet ad for next season.

 

[Lord Defect]

Eh... a lot of people frown on people who are vegetarian/vegan in this country. They act like it's some sort of cultist idea.

It’s not the fact that they don’t eat meat, it’s the constant need to tell people they don’t eat meat, especially when the topic wasn’t even food.
It’s a lifestyle choice, not a personality.
They’re the CrossFitters of the food world.

Wouldn't be worse than the current, tbh.

I always wondered if they get drunk & crave a cheeseburger or something & just give in.

There's nothing wrong with being a vegan. Some ppl just want to wait till marriage

 

[Yukon Cornelius]

"The Meatles" would be a good band name

I can't even call myself a "fan" of this band because I don't know much about them, but I've always really liked this song. It came out back during my days in the Army and I associate it with that time in my life, so there is a nostalgia factor involved.

I love that song, but I can’t say I ever heard anything else by them.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

i cant wait till we overpay for Jones, forced to field a lower roster then even last year, and to top it all off.

resign Moose, cuz Veterenessss....

oh and cuz we be brokeass bitchs by then

 

[Prongo]

Just give me some god damn Eichel. For f***s sake is it too much to ask for every superstar in this league?

 

[Yukon Cornelius]

I love that song, but I can’t say I ever heard anything else by them.

I remember my platoon leader picking me up the day I graduated from Air Assault School and that song was on the radio. I'm getting old, lol.

That definitely happens, though I’ve never had that compelling of a craving. I still think meat is delicious by smell and appearance

All of the women I've known who claim to be vegetarian pig out on beef when drunk.

If you had to choose between swallowing an entire hot dog coated in mustard, or swallowing an entire cucumber coated in malt vinegar....which do you select?

Choose your destiny.

I own that album somewhere. It's pretty good. The brothers who led the band played guitar on Nirvana Unplugged.

This would be certain suicide because my esophagus is pathetically small. Death by cucumber, I guess
