Rumor: Rumour and Proposals Thread: Is Kenny "Chiasson" a LWer?

[Nostradumbass]

“Nicer”.

It has a nicer, emptier downtown.

explain "nicer"
people in Calgary aren't nicer...they think their shit don't stink

if you like brown, tree-less hills or the urban sprawl on the northside than sure...I agree

The city itself is much nicer, especially comparing the downtown cores. Then you have the mountains and chinooks vs.... Rabbit Hill, Snow Valley and cheaper housing?

Fortnite is trash so I 100% believe his play and dedication will go up if he stops playing that.

GTA Vice City for the win!

Nuge for Laine

Laine is looking for a 10-11 million contract.

Too much for us.

 

[Oilhawks]

Not sure if we want to listen to a guy who is hearing whispering voices.

Whispering voice: Patrick....

Patrick: 0_0

Whispering voice: Watch Edmonton...

Whispering Voice: ...a trade will happen...maybe...

(Patrick picks up banana phone)

Patrick: The people must know!!

Whispering Voice:...nuuuuuggggggee

Exactly that

I'm only kidding...I'd rather have a versatile Nuge at a cheaper rate

The downtown cores are probably the only thing where Calgary is 'objectively' better. There are wonderful wooded areas and parks in and around Edmonton, with a more natural river valley, and the weather is too similar to give an edge because of chinooks (would rather have consistent snow than slushy garbage half the time but that's JMO, like your points are just your opinion).

 

[Mr Positive]

Trading Nuge for a winger is dumb because he's already playing wing effectively while giving you the option to run him at C.

Exactly. McDavid and Drai aren't going to play every game. That's also a reason to get a 3c in his prime

RNH should be untouchable and either extended or a handshake agreement to extend after the expansion draft. How many near PPG wingers are out there in the 6 million range that can play C and have proven chemistry with Mcdavid and Draisaitl?

coincides with that city voting a certain blue colour
your opinion I guess but more evidence that Calgarians love sniffing each others farts

I'm on the fence about outsmarting the expansion draft with Nuge. With Larsson, sure, but I kind of want to get Nuge nailed down

Also it looks like the D is where the main vulnerability is with expansion

If we go 7-3 then we should lock him up early.

He's called stuff for the canucks in the past

Nuge for Laine

Honestly, I wouldn't even do that. Nuge's versatility with his ability to play center or wing on either of the top 2 lines and also be a key part of the PK is invaluable to the Oilers. Not to mention that Laine might get nearly double of what Nuge might get if he has a big year. Not a big fan of the one dimensional goal scorers tbh.

If we sign one of the Florida wingers (assume the terms are the same), who would you want? Hoffman or Dadonov?

Calgary was a nice place at one time but now there's too many people in the city.

My two cents.

 

[Mr Positive]

If we wait to extend Larsson, the three would be Bear, Klef and Nurse, so I suppose it leaves Jones vulnerable. Maybe 4-4 is better, but I imagine we will try adding a 3c and another winger. Unless we get guys 1 year to ufa

 

[Nostradumbass]

I would argue it's more to do with the refusal to close the municipal airport many moons ago restricting the height of the buildings downtown.

The population is quite similar between the two cities

I think Hoffman. We seem to have too many issues with Russians.

In terms of Metro region yes.

Please no

here I thought the reason Calgary's downtown core is so much "nicer" is due to all the oil sector's corporate headquarters there thus the need for fancy big tall towers

 

[Del Preston]

The only Nuge news I want to hear is about an extension.

The rule of thumb is that summer temperatures between Calgary and Edmonton are not that dissimilar. In the winter, spring, and autumn, Calgary is 5 degrees warmer on average than Edmonton (I travel a lot between the two cities).

If it is -10 C in Edmonton, it is probably -5C in Calgary, etc.

Not a big difference in the grand scheme of things. Plus Calgary has lots of wind which sucks.
