Why do people always add a d to Reinhart (Reinhardt) when one could misspell it as Reinheart, like Beefheart, instead?

We still don't know if they got to her before she made it to the incinerator, right?
"WONKA: Congratulations Charlie! My chocolate empire is yours
CHARLIE: That’s wondrous!
WONKA: Now, first thing will be handling this PR crisis.
CHARLIE: Wait, wha-
WONKA: A lot of kids just died in your factory, Charlie. And there’s a rumor that you apparently own slaves?"

Speaking of, Reinhart signed in the KHL with the Chinese team. I'm kinda surprised he couldn't even develop the foot speed to at least be a depth guy in the NHL.

The Oompa Loompas try to unionize so Charlie uses Grandpa Joe's connection to the mob to help stop it. The chocolate river runs orange with the blood of the Oompa Loompas and uncle Vito gets poisoned by schnozberries. When the story reaches the climax, a twist occurs, the factory is shut down by big government because of a diabetes epidemic in the city. This causes both sides to come together and create an illegal candy operation, which sets up the sequel.
So take it in a different direction. But at least that one got your wheels turning

I understand your point about the budget before and after the Lee deal. And I am not saying the isles are not factoring in the expected raises to Barzal/Pulock when kicking the tires on new deals.
My point was that Lou's earlier attempts to add Panarin/Stone/EK showed no concern about future raises for Dobson & Wally. Or concern about blocking their paths. That excuse to brush aside Lou's failure to add an effective, quality , top 6 scorer after last season, does not hold up.

You and I were discussing standards. I posted I looked for Lou to improve the roster,build off last season.
You posted we all looked for that but not at the expense of not being able to extend our RFAs or blocking Dobson & Wally.
Lou's attempts at Panarin show those were not his concerns.
So, let's not use the excuse of " Lou did not pull off a impact move because he was worried about future payroll or blocking the kids"
Extend the 3 RFAs we have coming up this summer. And yes, not block Wahlstrom’s and Dobson’s path to the NHL with a player he had to sign for 2 or 3 years with a mid-range contract. And that’s not an excuse, that’s the right way to manage this roster. Get the elite player from outside the organization, fill the rest of the roster from within whenever possible.

Perlini is available, something around Ho-Sang + for Perlini + ?

While I would do that trade without thinking if I didn't consider other stuff, do we have a roster spot for Perlini?
In all honesty a Ho Sang for Perlini then a (separate) Dal Colle for a draft pick might work. Power forwards like Perlini generally take longer to reach potential so it might be a case of buying cheap

The answer is yes. Yes, people think like this. Yes. They do.
I wonder if these people have ever decided to have a piece of pie or something at lunch with the idea that they'll have a light dinner that night. Or, it must be, I either eat 10 pieces of pie at lunch and nothing for dinner or I have no lunch and a bucket of fried chicken for dinner. THERE IS NO IN BETWEEN.

I'd like Perlini on this team. Consider how Trotz turned Nelson from a soft periferal player into arguably our best defensive forward I think it would pay off. I'd send MDC and JHS for Perlini and a fifth.

Seems like Klatt was high on him at one time so I would not be surprised if he ends up here.

You may want to try the trusty little ‘ignore’ option. Works wonders.

If he's as sound as Dal Colle defensively he's an upgrade, as he's hit 10+ goals each of his 3 NHL seasons. Ho-Sang and Dal Colle for Perlini and a 2nd could be interesting. Also have to keep in mind Ladd is coming back by early December if things work out. 3rd line is getting crowded. Finding a true 3C (maybe Cizikas between Ladd and Wahlstrom would be a possibility?) makes a big difference if Cizikas is never going to get his shot there.
I'd prefer to not get Perlini. He's too inconsistent. I'd prefer to go for Pageau and Kapanen. That would solidify our 3rd line like never before.
Kapanen - Pageau - Beau/Johnston/Bailey/anyone

Perlini is a toolsy, no toolbox player. He is often the fastest guy on the ice who is always behind the play. I don't know if there are players with worse hockey sense in the league. Ho-Sang is a better player even if he hardly shoots and fails defensively.
Only way I'd do it is if we could transplant Martin's brain into Perlini's body.
Pageau is a guy who would complete this forward unit, for sure. But he's easily OTT's most in-demand asset at the deadline. You'd have to overpay in a huge way to get him this early in the season. Good teams will line up to acquire him at the deadline.
