Ohhh. Mr. Dhaliwal looooooves to speculate:

“What I am hearing is that he is progressing, but no timetable as to when he’s going to be 100% healthy.”

“I’m not super concerned about Demko; I just think you have to protect yourselves. I just heard this week that they’re again poking around the goalie market, just making some calls, that’s all. The red flag is not out; he should be okay. But maybe his rehab is not going as fast as some like.”


Following those statements Mr. Dhaliwal offer the listeners a fabulous deal on snake oil. :mrgreen:

Yeah, sometimes management or an agent will throw him a bone

... if they think it helps their cause.

Not this time though: Straight speculation.

What I hate is when Herb & Co. purposely confuse the two.

Fucking rumourmongers ...

I could have also mentioned Ovechkin, Benn, Iginla, Gillies, Landeskog and your buddy Messier. But I think you get the point. :twisted:
See, and here it is. Enough is enough. You shoulda taken your win and Smoked a dube and shut the fuck up. Your just simply shit stirring and just like the original Ghomer that your tryin to emulate here, and you just don’t leave off when someone else doesn’t wanna play stupid games. You just derail a comment, then double down on your bullshit tangent, forget about the original context and dig in for a fight because you’re bored.

I love ya, but fuck off sometimes. :D

I could have talked about JT, Neely (yes, he qualifies for the argument as he was traded before the age cutoff for the conversation), Joshua (new era, still fits the description) and all the guys who were power forward types whose PPG went up, after the age of 23 (Eastvander Kane, Shanahan, Tocchet - current coach, in case you missed it in the joy of argumentation, Owen Nolan, Stewart, etc, etc, etc) and were traded too soon for whatever reason, but your trying to strut, so here is my final comment to your bastardization of a concept with names that have no bearing to the conversation - CHEFsTYLE. (That implys you moved the goalposts to further shitstir without looking like a hobo masterbating in an alley underneath a used garbage bag)

So,

First off, your boys you listed ..Ovechkin, Benn, Iginla, Gilles, Landeskog, and Messier.. well, this is a pile of bullshit because none of them were traded before the age of 23 -or some of them, like ever - the fact that you now think Ovechkin was traded is wwelll.. Ghomeresque at best?? (to clarify my statement; in case you missed it, I just turned your favourite adjective into an adverb — and it would now be very condescending for me to tell you that what I mean is you use ‘107’ to insult people, I used ‘Ghomeresque’ to describe your actions in an insulting way personally to you)

So your entire last post is based on 100 percent bullshit and misdirection.. just like a liberal political campaign. The comment/ conversation was about giving up early on potential power forwards who got traded too soon, (pre age 23, in case you need a reminder) and then they “DEVELOPED LATE” <that’s after the age of 23 in this context> who went on to have good careers.

There are plenty of players on both sides of the fence on this, and this argument could drag on for days back and forth with multiple good points and statistics both ways, and should the boards wanna discuss, good on them.

I was simply stating I was too tired a couple days ago to wade through your Ghomeresque bullshit (see what I did there, or should I explain it again using smaller words than last time?) about the difference between concepts and chickenshit, potstirring ‘facts’ (the names you said earlier)

Anyways Blobberino, if you wanna shitstir the pot into a boredom debate in August, go ahead.
Just stop quoting me in the conversation.

GM Patrik Allvin announced that IanClark asked for a new position with the team and will now work as a goalie scout and goaltending development coach.

“With Clarkie wanting something different at the hockey club, we were extremely fortunate to have Marko in the system and ready to take on the responsibility of becoming our new goaltending coach in Vancouver. Unfortunately, Ian can no longer go on the ice regularly to do the things that have made him successful. But this new role will fit with his expertise and having Clarkie going out to find and develop talent will be a big asset to the organization.”
You guys did catch this news eh?

Kind of a big deal, especially with the stuff going on (or not going on) with Demko.

Marko Torenius moves up from Abby.

It's health related. He has knee problems and is going to have surgery right away apparently.

It definitely is the shits though as the one on one work he does with his goalies is what makes him the best of the best.

They have also taken the unfamiliar path and signed him to both an AHL contract and a PTO. So if he does not make the team out of camp he goes directly to Abbotsford.

Now do AHL contracts count towards allowable contract

No, AHL contracts don't count.
