Thread: If you know Danault cant be re-signed
CBJ is not including Dubinsky to any Dubois trade with the intention of hindering his value - it's just stupid asset management. Not to mention MTL can't afford taking Dubinsky, as part of the protocol of acquiring LTIR bound players is that they must be activated for a while when acquiring them, which MTL can't do.

Danault is unlikely to sign long-term with CBJ and it can't be added to the value he brings. It's naive, and NHL banned the conditional picks of this regard. So technically what CBJ is gaining here guaranteed one year of Danault, Mete and two first rounders. While a package of nice value, it doesn't add up to what Dubois is.

The only player from MTL that makes sense for CBJ is Kotkaniemi, as they need a replacement center. Try Kotkaniemi+1st and go from there, add Byron to even out the money and compensate CBJ from taking that overpaid contract.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BuFfaLOFaN</b></div><div>So crazy to think...in the US we don't learn any other languages. Wish we did but that's probably part of our cocky mentality that we are number 1</div></div>

We don't really have much choice. Finland would be a very secluded country if they couldn't communicate with others. So the country invest on its inhabitants to learn other languages.

For example, we're being taught English from 9 years old and so forth, and Swedish from the 7th grade (13yo) (although most of us hate it as we don't really need Swedish for anything). Also the students can choose to learn either French or German from 4th grade (10yo) should they want to. I didn't, and I regret it a bit.

Should the student head to upper secondary school after comprehensive school (which lasts from 1st to 9th grade, or from 7 to 15 years old) they have the choice of starting to learn Spanish or Russian as well...some schools also offer the possibility of learning languages like Chinese or even Latin, but it's quite uncommon.

And all of this is completely free for the students, minus the books they might have to buy.
