This was a very interesting signing for several reasons. First it screws Montreal which they deserve after that Aho OS. Second, it gives us the deepest blue line in the league. The one hang up on this is Gardiner's history of back problems. Gardiner has said recently since the signing that hes 100 percent. However, I know first hand those just dont go away....but if anyone will correct it....itll be Rod the Bod. Lastly it allows us flexibility with Faulk. I'm sure you guys have already heard the rumors about trading Faulk now to Anaheim with the logic that Gardiner's signing has made him expendable.

However I'd like Faulk to be our rental this year. If Gardiner had a set back we will be in position to resign Faulk or we can move him at the trade deadline for more assets.

We do need another RH at wing perhaps...but I'm not sure if there's anyone out there that could crack the top 3 lines which would warrant moving Faulk.  Besides I think Dzingel and Haula are going to add a lot of offense.

      yeah. winter backpacking trips were the most miserable and amazing experiences. same with the coldest and snowiest hunting  experiences. i love being in it. makes for incredible memories. the worse it was, the more i ended up loving it. made the greatest memories.  i just want to get out of it afterwards.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.

      Snow in the high country

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.
