@JDylanBurke @mac_cawfield Instead of "imagining" things, here's a quote directly from the article you clearly didn't read.

"Hope that helps"

[Stan Backlund @BacklundStan]

@AriGoldkind He's not being deported on the basis of whether he is a "monster".

He is being deported on the basis of the fact s.36(1) of the IRPA deems him inadmissible.

How he compares to other so-called "monsters" who aren't being deported really isn't relevant in any way.

[Stan Backlund @BacklundStan]

@JDylanBurke "A criminal conviction...sentence of more than six months makes a permanent resident ineligible to remain in the country"

But sure--cry racism.

Perhaps they should have asked your opinion for the article on the impact on "the hurt of this tragic accident" instead of Toby Boulet

[Stan Backlund @BacklundStan]

@CofRedCentral @bettsyboy98 They absolutely should be in the top 10 pick range.

But I don't know that it's necessarily unrealistic that they start bringing in players that would push them over that line, yet obviously nowhere near contention worthy (i.e. Flame land---the mushy middle)

[Stan Backlund @BacklundStan]

@CofRedCentral @bettsyboy98 Not necessarily.

CGY's pick would need to be top 10.

Given Conroy's and the player's end-of-season comments, there is a very real chance they try to gun for a playoff spot again (and fail), but end up above 10th overall---thus giving MTL the CGY 1st instead.

Unfortunately.

[Stan Backlund @BacklundStan]

@calgaryherald Lol sweet headline. Let's play with that "violent" you threw in there, shall we?

"Violent protesters cleared by police"

or

"law-breaking protestors legally cleared by police"

Funny how much word choices make a difference, hey?

[Stan Backlund @BacklundStan]

@bettsyboy98 @CofRedCentral Also, MTL very well could get the CGY 1st next year.

The F's available with the FLA 1st might be materially worse than the F you could get at 9 this year.

[Stan Backlund @BacklundStan]

@bettsyboy98 @CofRedCentral I don't follow. There being a lot of good D in the draft shouldn't mean you should chase a D if a F is still the BPA at 9th when you go to pick.

This team needs *everything*. Can't be picky about positions this early in the "retool"/"rebuild'.

@CofRedCentral

[Stan Backlund @BacklundStan]

@JackieBee_16 You're fucking trash

[Stan Backlund @BacklundStan]

@ByronMBader Could you possibly share a Parekh vs. Yakemchuk comparison?

[Stan Backlund @BacklundStan]

@FlamesNation

[Stan Backlund @BacklundStan]

@NHLRumorsDaily @frank_seravalli more like a clown off

[Stan Backlund @BacklundStan]

@RingOfFireCGY Also potentially way more goalies available in the summer.

NJD may be the only bidder now...but he's also the only starter available now.

The idea that he's going to still be the crown jewel come summer seems a tad naive

[Stan Backlund @BacklundStan]

@JamesJohnsonYYC Maybe the real Noah Hanifin trade was the friends we made along the way

[Stan Backlund @BacklundStan]

@MatchsticksCGY The trade is 1-for-1

[Stan Backlund @BacklundStan]

@Malgo_1 @MurkIceTwice @DonDraperMadMen @FriedgeHNIC good fucking lord

[Stan Backlund @BacklundStan]

@CofRedCentral

[Stan Backlund @BacklundStan]

@MurkIceTwice @DonDraperMadMen @FriedgeHNIC Or perhaps he's always injured around this time because...wait for it....he's just always injured!

He's not faking a spleen laceration so they can put him on LTIR you clown.

If you don't like the LTIR rules, so be it, but has nothing to do with Stone

It's almost like the guy is injured often!

[Stan Backlund @BacklundStan]

@MatchsticksCGY If it's the best package, don't care.

By the time CGY are ready to contend Stone will be half cyborg with donated organs, Eichel will be well into his 30s, Marchessault, Pietrangelo, Karlsson et al will be in retirement homes.

I don't think they have that long of a window left
