If I made millions of dollars playing hockey I'd love some LEGO too.

Only way to afford it anymore

Only way to afford it anymore

It's a better investment than gold!

A lot of Texas high school weight rooms are also overdone because dipshits care more about football than they do education.

My local Texas school board voted in religious education in our public schools last night. Even most of the ultra-conservative public here didn't want it. Because the public is ultra-conservative though, they will vote down a bond soon that would keep the public schools from the ruin that is near due to only approving one bond in 30 years (along with the governor holding state school funds hostage to make sure private school vouchers get passed). Don't worry though, athletic facilities here are some of the worst in the state.

Nill on the podcast just said Hintz will be fine and will be out about a week to keep his blood pressure down.

 

[piqued]

It might be a positive for Rantanen to learn how to play with Wyatt/Duchene for a bit in case there's juggling later when things matter.

Good rest for Hintz before the stretch to the playoffs.

Says he’s hoping for Heiskanen to be ready by game 1 or sometime during the 1st round. Seguin should be ready before that. Pretty much what we already know.

 

[Dallasman]

Seguin has been skating for a few weeks now.

He'll be back before playoffs for sure.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Seguin has been skating for a few weeks now.

He'll be back before playoffs for sure.

I don't think thats possible for Cap reasons lol

If we send Back down, it works

 

[M88K]

Heiskanen is on LTIR now, of which they're using none of it, and then they have to reassign Back to the ahl

 

[eartotheground]

back's been so solid on that 4th line. i'd hate to have to send him down. can't we just throw dumba on waivers and bury his contract in the ahl like the good ol days?

If Back goes down it would be temporary, he'll be back for the playoffs (although likely scratch)

 

[BG44]

I'm pretty sure Back requires waivers. He's not going down if that is the case.

 

[starsfan86]

f*** it. Send Blackwell down and on waivers

 

[BG44]

Some people in the trade forum brought up a good idea about targeting Bourque as an offer sheet. Dallas might not even be able to match a 3rd round pick compensation which was only $1,5111,701 - $2,290,457. That's going up this summer.

This is the Holloway situation almost exactly. Team had to offer lower money because of the cap.

Nill will sign him for that amount. Then get rid of Dumbass and Marchment if needed.

Just have to hope that he likes playing for a good team and his playing time keeps up. Carolina may have wanted Stank more but Dallas also prioritized Mav more I think.

would smith work $$ wise?

Do you mean waiving him so there is room for Seguin? Yes, I believe so.

 

[eartotheground]

there's the answer then. in no way should he be in the lineup for a playoff game

 

[starsfan86]

This is probably what happens honestly.

 

[M88K]

this is probably what happens. Even though Smith makes the most sense.

They aren't going to risk their 8th/7th d-man on waivers without Heiskanen being close to returning
