Mult*cultural*sm


Eh... I don't get this.

Canada has never been not multicultural. English and French cultures existed during confederation and the push westward uprooted a ton of Metis cultures. Don't think it's appropriate for a country built out of a colony to stick to one culture.

I believe that people must assimilate where as we encourage and promote « ghettos » where people keep their culture, creating a mosaic.

I’d much, MUCH rather have the American melting pot

If this is all that’s going to AZ the trade is a fat L imo


Its an L for now.

But all those guys they take are gone after this season. While OEL is in Van for 6 more years. And if you think he was bad in Arizona oh boy Vancouver is gonna have more fun. OEL-Myers lul. Plus schmidt may be out so Vans dcore really does not spell confidence RIP DEMKO

So rn its an L for Ari but after this season L for Van as with Petterson, Hughes, Garland, Boeser among others needing new deals that space gonna be gone fast.

Here in NB it varies a lot, the north is more French while the south is more English.

Edit: nvm misunderstood this convo, continue on

I mean, unless the Coyotes feel there's someone so worth taking at No. 9 that it's worth giving up a terrific D in OEL and a Good 2nd line F in Garland for 3 awful players and contracts (meaning that they don't even gain cap space), this is bizarre. Today's just yielding bonkers one-sided trades by the truckload.


OEL has fallen off a cliff recently and he's not worth the 8 million cap hit he carries.

The guys that Arizona are getting back aren't great but they're UFAs next off season. The ninth overall is the real prize for them.

Whatever narrative is out there about #Yotes, they are flexing financial muscle in the short term for draft picks. Ladd -$8m Gostisbehere - $6.5m Eriksson - $4m Beagle - $2.2m Roussel -$1.9m Tot: $22.6 m
For a 1st (No. 9 ov), four 2nds, a 3rd and a 7th. -@frank_seravalli

Coyotes are retaining on the contract. 1.2 million.

This is essentially what Toronto did in the Kessel deal and I don't think it's good long-term optics.

Christ boys the draft hasn't even started and I've been kept thoroughly busy.

Thank you to those who don't use the AGM section as a twitter feed. I wish damp socks on those who do.

I actually hear this. If the Eriksson/Beagle/Roussel deals are only 1 more year each, than after one horrid year Arizona will get another top 5 pick (most likely), plus the 9th pick tonight, while unloading the 8.25 AAV of OEL. Not as stupid as I thought.

Bro after the boxing match we should do a canon ball competition. I'd smash him either way.

That should get him in midseason form. Third-line minutes per night be the reward naturally.

As long as I get either Dvorak to the Leafs or something along those lines I will be happy.

Cause man missed opportunity with the Buchnevich trade. Perfect Hyman replacement

Just hope we aint wasting time with the Hyman sign and trade

The Vancouver-Houston deal would crash the game because of all of the cap going trough.

So remember when Francis was demanding a 1st and 3rd for cap dumps and nobody budged





Despite the team not even playing a game the fans should be very concerned as so Far not looking good for them lul. Arizona be scooping up bad contracts left and right and getting good value
