Have you asked DL what he thinks about Tyler Myers progress vs. Teuberts? It has always been a bit of a mystery why he liked Teubert over Myers in that draft. Would love to know what DL’s thoughts were on Myers when he made that draft day deal with Buffalo.

Also do you know how Teubert has been doing this year?

Hickey is a great skater. He is smart and he is a winner…. has been his whole career.

I just don’t understand the impatience with this kid. You know they are not robots. I for one will not count him out till he does himself. I don’t like DL’s comment as it stands, and would remind him to remember why he took a risk on Hickey.

Teubert to me seems about as smart as a box of rocks. We got him for a walking away Cammi so I don’t mind if he doesn’t pan out but why does he get more of a pass from all of you?

Just wondering.

We all know you’re into the rough side of the game and that’s cool. That’s you. Just like Quisp’s thing is stats and #’s, right? Unfortunately, instead of it being something that is endearing (sorry, i couldn’t think of a less wussy word), it becomes grating and negative with the repitition of themes in your posts. And whether or not you think that it’s repetitive, to others, it is. Personally, I think you’ve got a different interest/perspective than many who frequent here that could stimulate some good discussions, if you could work on conveying your position more constructively.

The way I see look at gudas, the kings got a preview on a player they may want to add in this years draft. His play in the WHL may be turning some heads, but keep in mind that he’s 19 and will be 20 at the draft. He’ll likely be around in the later rounds so won’t cost a high pick.

the different identities are called sock puppets (put a sock on your hand and you have another little you) but are kept secret from everyone else. i’m sure people do it for a variety of reasons, most of which are flat out childish in my opinion.

it’s not allowed, but it’s hard to stop. this site doesn’t have a comment system in place to help limit that behavior. however, it’s almost impossible to stop completely on even the best systems. one thing that would help limit it is a robust registration process where personal information is required. that goes a long way.

the bottom line is Rich currently has neither the time nor inclination to implement such a system. hopefully he will decide to move ahead with improvements soon and have the AEG tech people make it happen.

thanks for the insight. yes, i remember now about the 1 year in NA prior to a certain age. but what about a limit to the number of signed players by a team? does that ring a bell?

right, the whole off topic, BBS stuff is more than i envision for this site, but i suppose it could work if designed properly. however, the commenting and posting methods really need an overhaul. as you know, searching alone is a chore and a half.

What I fail to understand are the multiple sign-in names used by a select little group of posters here. Why is that allowed?

I have commented far less than a 1000 posts, probably no more than 100. So what if I talk about toughness, its not like I am jamming the threads with numerous comments?

The thing is, posts like these have brought down the quality of discussions in the past and drove away visitors- many other posters, including some very knowledgeable contributors, just got tired of them and left.

Rich is very fair and has been more than patient.

Of course, this assumes that the kings indeed wanted to sign him.
