Don't do it Ottawa, your future currently looks pretty bright

Because NHL brass are crooked af

Someone get him to buy the Canucks too, god damn.

These are the spiciest bits I've heard from an NHL owner in regards to the NHL ever, it's great. Dude is pissed.

King shit, for real, dude is blasting the NHL and rightly so.

NHL is a clown show

Andlauer is a big believer in accountability and that’s why he let Dorion make the decisions during the off-season. But sources say Andlauer and Staios weren’t pleased with the way the situation involving suspended centre Shane Pinto was handled by the organization. While Pinto was unsigned when the league banned him for 41 games for breaking the NHL’s rules around gambling, the Senators didn’t have the cap space to sign him and were going to have to sweeten a deal by giving up an asset to get a contract off the books. https://ottawasun.com/sports/hockey/nhl/ottawa-senators/senators-fire-gm-dorion-after-eight-seasons?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1698865710

I still stand by my believing that Ottawa having to forfeit a 1st round pick is a joke though, particularly given the slap on the wrist Chicago got.

If I were the NHL I'd just make them mandatory, period. Same goes for the AHL. Players would adapt the same way many had to adapt to mandatory visors.

I understand what you're saying, but I still think it's a stupid thing to have even explored. You don't need to be an expert on the history of the region to understand that the prospect of one party leaving the region is negligible.

I get what you're saying, but I still question why it'd even be on the drawing board, there's no way anyone was ever going to absorb that many Palestinians into their country. Egypt doesn't want them, and I very clearly remember the fuss that happened in the wake of us bringing in Syrian refugees. Many aren't even willing to leave a northern Gaza that's being bombed to hell, good luck getting the entire population to leave the region. I'd argue that exploring that option would also be considered bad policy, it's nonsensical.

Taylor Hall for Adam Larsson Chiarelli?

I'd assume so, new ownership axing old management isn't exactly revolutionary.

Medical retirement eh? The obvious guy who springs to mind as a potential top line center would be Calgary's Elias Lindholm. He's not a young center but he's still younger than Kadri. The deeper wrinkle was the news that came out yesterday about the Flames halting negotiations. What would it take for Calgary to move him? If their season goes down the tubes sooner than later it's not as if they're going to let him walk to UFA. What would the Caps realistically have to give up? And who else might be interested in Lindholm besides potentially Boston? Flames might have to take what they can get.

I wonder if they've got someone in mind to replace him long term. One can point to 1st round pick being the last straw but I'd assume this was something that was probably being explored for a while. Do they bring in an interim guy or have they been interviewing on the down low?

I can't find it but I remember reading that NHL teams regularly use capfriendly Even with all their internalized data I don't see why teams wouldn't This is egg on the face of Vegas, Ottawa, and the NHL but it shouldn't cost Ottawa a pick

I don't see Canada as being any more an option for mass exodus than Egypt I read all three articles and I've elected to view the brief as insight into a part of the Israeli government, given it wasnt supposed to reach media sources I don't see any solution that involves the Palestinian people leaving being realistic, I question why such a possibility would even be explored though Yeah, there's that, I've seen lots of support for both the Palestinian people and Jewish people but the pushback against the Israeli government is a big factor Any way one spins it, thousands of dead children and the ongoing plight of people in Gaza does not make for good PR or optics, and that could have political repercussions elsewhere

How the fuck does Ottawa get hit harder than Chicago Even New Jersey got a first rounder back after the Kovalchuk thing

It's hard to say, but these bits jump out The poll results are likely to increase concerns among Democrats about Biden’s standing with Arab Americans heading into 2024, particularly in Michigan, where roughly 277,000 Arab Americans call home, and Biden won in 2020 by 155,000 votes. But the smaller Arab American populations in Pennsylvania and Georgia were also larger than Biden’s margins of victory there. All three states are ones Biden flipped after Trump won them in 2016. Even though 2024 appears likely to present a rematch between Biden and Trump, Arab Americans insist Biden cannot take their support for granted. None of those who spoke with TIME say that their lack of confidence in Biden means that they’ll be inclined to vote for Trump. But some remain conflicted about whether the situation would be any worse under the former president either. “Look, we’re not silly—we know what Trump has done to our communities,” says Amer Zahr, the president of the Dearborn-based New Generation for Palestine. But when it comes to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, he continues, “The policies are basically the same. Except when Trump does it, you get some pushback from the Democratic Party.” As others see it, though, the question of whether Trump would be better or worse right now is immaterial. “Joe Biden is president right now and the genocide is happening right now—every other hypothetical is of no concern to me,” says Maysoon Zayid, a Palestinian-American comedian, disability advocate, and longtime Democratic Party activist who campaigned for Biden in 2020. When asked whether there was anything Biden could do to win back her support, she was unwavering. “There’s absolutely nothing that man could do. I mean, my God, what could ever bring back those kids? Nothing.” Zogby, a decades-long member of the Democratic National Committee, notes that the shift away from the Democratic Party among Arab Americans can be seen across the board: among the old and the young, the naturalized citizens and the native-born Americans, as well as among Catholics, Orthodox Christians, and Muslims. “The community is feeling a certain sense of cohesion, and Joe Biden and Israel brought them together,” he says. The reality, of course, is that Arab Americans base their vote on more issues than just the Middle East. The economy, education, and climate change are likely to be among their concerns next November. But the duration of the war, and the extent to which Biden is seen to enable it, could lead to that issue carrying more weight than it has with many voters in previous elections. “It’s never a bad bet to bet that foreign policy issues don’t dominate in an election,” says Matt Duss, the executive vice president of the Center for International Policy and a former chief foreign policy advisor to Sen. Sanders. “But I do think we do see evidence here and there that for certain voters, it does matter. And ultimately, we’re talking about a few hundred thousand voters in a few key states. That’s what this election is going to come down to.”

What's going on could potentially cost Biden and the Democrats big time if they election were to come down to these votes https://time.com/6330102/biden-israel-gaza-arab-americans-trump/

Which is why you're gonna get paid
