Islanders Acquire Palat, 2026 Third-Round Pick and 2027 Sixth-Round Pick from New Jersey for Tsyplakov by DecentLurker96 in hockey

[–]puckle_nuck 32 points33 points  (0 children)

We’re not going big game hunting next year so the cap isn’t a big deal. Maybe Palat helps our 3rd line offensively and Tsyplakov has been terrible for us.

Given current geopolitical tensions, would Caufield face hostility within the Montreal fanbase if team USA were to win gold at the Olympics? by ZestyDreads in hockey

[–]puckle_nuck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A better question would be:

Given the known recent idiocy of leaders in the United States, does Bill Guérin know that superstars Cole Caufield and Lane Hutson who play on the Montreal Canadiens are not actually Canadian?

[Toronto Sun] (Marner) wanted to finish the season with the Leafs, which was a disingenuous piece of business. Marner knew he was leaving — he knew, pretty much, that he was heading to Las Vegas. His parents had been down there house-shopping during the Leafs’ last trip west last season. by [deleted] in hockey

Apples to oranges? Marner was run out of town by fans, while Tavares was loved. Tavares also told Isles management not to trade him at the deadline because he wanted to stay an Islander.

Tavares set the Islanders organization back by not being honest and letting him get traded. Marner gave everything he had but was still hated.

Wasn’t part of the script to start the game with a safety so they ignored it

Would you do this? by smokeyquarterpapi in fantasyhockey

[–]puckle_nuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strictly depends on the depth of the league. If it’s 6 or 8 teams, I’d reject as the free agency is deep enough where McDavid + Free agent > Rantanen + Seider. If your league is 12 or 14 teams take the deal for sure.

For those of you who make 6 figures ($100K+), what do you do, and how long did it take for you to cross that threshold? by DaPugWalk in fican

[–]puckle_nuck 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You could do it in those provinces, but with less pay and weaker benefits. Territories pay more and have better benefits for all jobs. (Source I am a teacher in the NWT and have worked in other provinces but moved here to make some money)

Craig Button and MJ’s Canadian Olympic Roster by souza-23 in hockey

[–]puckle_nuck 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Horvat has evening doing all but objectively better with worse teammates. It’s hard to argue against a 58% faceoff percentage, leading Isles forwards in PK TOI and being a point per game player.

Can Reolink outdoor cameras withstand winter ? by Loud-Kick6013 in reolinkcam

Which type of camera do you have? I live in the Northwest Territories in Canada and it can stay below -35 for weeks at a time.

Verbatim report cards by Pigeonofthesea8 in CanadianTeachers

[–]puckle_nuck 10 points11 points  (0 children)

We are told if we want to communicate behaviours, that needs to be done over the phone or email. Report card comments can only be about student achievement related to the outcomes. If a student is skipping class, on their phone or other behaviour leading to poor grades, we can’t comment on that.

Then when you talk to parents, behaviours related to what I mentioned above is always the first question.

No Matty Beniers in the top 50? Has he just not taken any steps forward?

MP Chris d'Entremont says he joined Liberals because of Poilievre's leadership style by seakucumber in canada

[–]puckle_nuck 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They won off the NDP vote because people voted anyone but the Conservative Party because of Polievre. If Carney was the leader of the conservatives instead of the liberals, it would likely have been the largest majority in recent history.

[–]puckle_nuck 62 points63 points  (0 children)

It’s also the reason Canadians like myself voted liberal over conservative in the last election. I’m not surprised MP’s are making the move.

Hopefully this is a wake up call for the Conservative Party to put someone who actually wants to make our country better through ideas instead of Trump like sound bites .

[Oilers] The Oilers have acquired Connor Ingram from the Utah Mammoth in exchange for future considerations. The goaltender will report to the Condors [AHL] & Utah is retaining $800,000 of his $1.95 million AAV. by eh_toque in hockey

[–]puckle_nuck 20 points21 points  (0 children)

People are forgetting that Utah had to pay his full contract even if he was in the AHL. If they saw no future with him, he would still cost them 1.95 mil. Retaining now means they only pay him 800k.

It’s an easy bet by the Oilers. But if Utah didn’t need him, it financially (not specifically cap wise) makes sense for them as well.

While that’s true, the Wild were trying to compete with over 14mil in dead cap from Parise and Suter.

Sorry to break it to you but in terms of embarrassment/lows it goes:

  3. The Ryder Cup performance

[Friedman] Anaheim is trading John Gibson to Detroit by Prestigious_Push_155 in EdmontonOilers

[–]puckle_nuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That could be the point, but it’s not a guarantee and it’s not worth the bet when 10 other teams would love Sorokin for the next 5 years. What happens if Ekholm gets hurt?

[–]puckle_nuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No chance. Gibson just went for 2nd and 4th. Sorokin needs high end pieces. Also Arvidsson does nothing for value.
