report that the wings, canadiens, and leafs are still scouting dylan cozens.

the criminal system isnt designed to "do good" for the victims, its designed to establish appropriate punishment for behaviors society deems abhorrent. the civil system is designed to adjudicate disputes and provide the appropriate remuneration to make one party "whole" who has been injured by another. what does "whole" mean? $20 million for my "mental anguish"? my "suffering"? i'm cynical. ive seen the worst abuses of the system. but that's the system we have now. and this - like all civil cases - is a money grab because it is an attempt to make money off an event that may or may not have occurred.

were talking about different things. i dont know if he did what they say he did. but i DO know that they want MONEY for what they say he did. to me, that's a money grab. if you were assaulted, then go to the police. why does he owe you money? why didnt you just go to the police? why hire a civil lawyer at all if it werent about money? i know, i know, that's unrealistic in today's day and age in the most litigious society the world has ever seen. but that's how i feel after having worked in this industry for years. ive seen many many many sexual abuse cases. many are legit (although i really question the damages people get for them, but thats another story for another post), but many, many, MANY are not. the general public would be surprised at how many fraudulent schemes there are out there to make money through legal abuse off companies and their insurers. check out the RICO suits in new york against plaintiff attorneys and their doctors if you are curious.

psssssst....its a money grab. its always a money grab. deshaun watson was a money grab. this is a money grab too. if it werent a money grab, just go to the police and have him arrested and let the criminal justice system work.

im kind of mad the wings only have one more game before this two week 4 nations stuff kicks off. i want nhl hockey!
-
never been impressed with shroeder. seems like a head case and selfish.
-
would you have done that deal for duren? as you've said before, they either need to pay duren or move him soon.
-
bring the post up big man back into the game? just a thought.
-
what about shrinking the paint?
-
i got a feeling chet is always going to be hurt.
-
lucas raymond currently sits 19th in the nhl in points. at 22, he is the youngest player in the top 49 players in points. and he's 19th!
-
**** defense by ausar. lucky shot, but if he just stays in front or near him it doesnt happen.
-
i hope the warriors lose and implode. but now they'll probably win a championship because life isnt fair. see lions, detroit.
-
wtf are the bulls doing?
-
i was beginning to have my doubts too. and this may be us getting too excited about winning a lot of close games and that worm will eventually turn. but for now, viva el stevie! raymond and seider developing into stars has been the biggest development to me. they desperately needed that. and at 8 mil aav!
-
why? why cant they just trade for butler without doing anything with beal? oh yeah, the salary cap and all its minute, ridiculous rules and subrules.
-
people getting traded for tax and luxury tax purposes, not because of basketball reasons. people traded into cap space or max exceptions and not traded because they bring 3pt shooting or rebounding. its almost all cap moves and money stuff. some of the big trades are fun, the other stuff seems hung up on financial details. like, jimmy butler wants out, but phoenix cant trade for him because they cant aggregate salaries and fit him into cap holds and exceptions and blah blah blah.
-
the nba salary cap rules really have ruined a lot of the fun of the sport.

check the last 15 or so posts before yours. 😉

first of all, its not enough money. cozens makes $7 mil. he has 10 goals in 53 games. just like andrew copp. now, he had one season where he scored 30. he's only 23. in a sense he fits their timeline as a #2 center. but if i'm making that kind of deal and taking on that kind of money, i dont know if i'm giving up a first. otoh, someone else might. and buffalo isnt giving him up without getting a first in return. if stevie thinks he is a true #2 center, then a #1 plus berggren and velenonis a steal.
-
saw it on twitter. i dont listen to detroit sports radio.
-
who is this person we just traded for?
-
but before we (me) get ahead of ourselves, they were headed for the playoffs last year and one dylan larkin injury and the whole thing collapsed. its going to be tough sledding down the stretch. we'll see if they do anything at the deadline. pretty sure they have the best record in hockey since mcclellan took over.
-
i think a lot of us owe steve yzerman an apology (except for the pro scouting department, they still suck). making the playoffs this year puts them ahead of schedule, imo. seider/raymond shouldnt even be in their primes yet... and lucas raymond might need a new agent.

kane wins the shootout with an amazing move. streak is alive!
