Haha...I would be happy to accept. She's definitely on my top 10 list of favourite posters.
Player Discussion: Patrik Laine IVever: a new hope? (Laine out of PAP, trade request still stands)

The fact is that it's early August and most of the GMs are out on the lake.
I think many will shy away from the risk of Laine. But the good version of Laine, which we saw for 110 or so games, is well worth it. They do need that. Carolina certainly needs that. It's just a matter of whether someone will take the risk.
You know I like Patrik and find the proposals of fans of other clubs ridiculous. But let's face it, do they need him? Montreal will wait for Demidov, Carolina is giving more chances to young players this season, Buffalo also has young talent, as do other teams. And if they really wanted him, they wouldn't make offers like for 13 players on an ECHL team.
but the question isn't "does this team need patrik laine?" – the question is "do we need to score more goals?"
for teams who answer "yes" to that (read: most teams) the next questions are "who is available?" and "can we afford that player?"

Interesting that he was on the 1980 Miracle Team prior to the Olympics and said the movie was very accurate.
DW made it clear Laine’s time here is done.
Said his ideal team is strong down the middle and good goaltending. Also Monahan is the clear #1 Center.
He is very honest and down to earth. Really like DW.
And is Patrik the solution? No one doubts his quality, which is why fans underestimate his value. But do the GMs feel the same way? How true are these suggestions?

also, laine has two years left on his deal.
what if demidov comes over next year? oh no, laine might play over a young rookie on an ELC foe one year!

...I keep my cool?
I take breaks now and again. And I imagine the other guy fuming while I'm smiling in their face.

I was an admin here for awhile. I've seen first hand how other moderators crack under the...let's call it stupidness that is thrown their way. While you might be at your edge. You have an eloquent way of putting the other guy/girl in their place lol, when it's needed. Very commendable.
Oh and sorry for taking this thread off track. This was just my way of giving you a well deserved pat on the back. This board is lucky to have you.

Yes he is, but he isn't highly regarded. He has no real connections with Montreal management. So a lot of what he says is his opinion only. He used to work for Eklund. We all know how valued he is here.You are like the anti-troll...I need my boots so I can wade through all this crap

That's great. So he finally finds a top coach who can prepare players excellently (not saying he hasn't trained hard before, I mean the quality of the coaches), but another team will probably take advantage of it.
I hope Waddell doesn't get good deals and he stays here.

Hope something excites him to stay here and give it a go even if its playing well until the deadline to get out of here.

I guess he's not expecting to be on a team making a deep playoff run.
Maybe he's still planning to be here after all.
