if one d goes down for the year id see erik Johnson or tanev would be another target....

I pretty much agree with this all, I feel these teams are likely the ones we trade with and a player like Sissons Like Sundqvist is a player we add, just depth at this point.

Sisson, or Sundqvist are my trade targets... with the emergence of Juulsen i think our D-depth is great... we can afford both these players Sissons has years remaining and Sundqvist is a UFA... but are blues going for it or will they trade sundqvist for a 3rd?

of course they don't want to trade there captain on a team friendly deal

i like some of these 6rades

those numbers dont tell the whole story, but Juulsen has been impressive... imagine we traded him for a busted up prospect.

Black excellence month love it...

yeah good penalty i thought... cant let him get a breakaway

defenceman gonna defence

still announcing?

this thread...

thanks...

In the world of chess, the pursuit of improvement can sometimes lead down unexpected paths. For me, it was a journey marked by moments of doubt, suspicion, and a relentless search for answers. As I grappled with the phenomenon of chess cheating paranoia, I found myself consumed by questions of fairness and integrity. Hours turned into days,and days into months, as I delved deeper into the complexities of the game, determined to uncover the truth. Understanding Chess Cheating Paranoia: Chess cheating paranoia is a curious beast, lurking in the shadows of every move and whispering doubts in the ear of every player. It's that nagging feeling that someone couldn't possibly be beating you fair and square, or perhaps they really are. At my lowest point, I found myself more focused on suspicions of cheating than on honing my own skills—a phenomenon epitomized to its extreme. My Personal Struggle: I confess—I've spent countless hours obsessing over the possibility of cheating in chess. At one point, I even took on the role of a cheater sleuth, determined to expose any foul play. But amidst the sea of doubts and suspicions, I realized that while it's possible to spot cheating, it's not always worth the mental toll. I had lost sight of what drew me to the game in the first place—the joy of competition, the thrill of strategy, and the camaraderie of fellow enthusiasts. In my quest for answers, I embarked on a different kind of journey—one that led me not to the depths of suspicion, but to the realm of self-discovery. Psychological tests revealed insights I had never considered before. They showed me that age and mental health could indeed impact my chess performance, particularly in faster time controls like Bullet and Blitz. But they also revealed something profound: I had more to give in chess, and hope wasn't lost for this over-40-year-old adult improver. Armed with newfound determination and a fresh perspective, I've set my sights on a new goal: reaching 1500 in rapid chess and beyond. And I've come to terms with the fact that Bullet and Blitz may not be my forte—and that's perfectly okay. Everyone's chess journey is unique, and mine is simply transforming. I've traded suspicions for strategies, doubts for determination, and I'm embracing the journey with open arms. Inspiration for Fellow Chess Improvers: To my fellow chess improvers, I offer this: embrace the journey, for it is in the pursuit of improvement that true growth occurs. Along the way, you may encounter the shadows of doubt and suspicion, but do not let them deter you. Instead, use them as fuel to propel yourself forward, for it is in overcoming adversity that we find our greatest strength. n the face of cheating paranoia, remember that every challenge is an opportunity for growth. Rather than succumbing to suspicion, channel your energy into honing your skills and mastering the game. Embrace the practice sessions, whether it's solving puzzles, studying openings, or finding solace in meditation. These are not just exercises in strategy, but also acts of self-discovery and resilience. And above all, never lose sight of why you fell in love with chess in the first place. Whether it's the thrill of competition, the joy of intellectual challenge, or simply the camaraderie of fellow enthusiasts, hold onto that spark and let it guide you through the highs and lows of your chess journey.
