    My observation from 4 nations is that Faber is an elite player. Boldy is not.

    X2. Boldy is a very good player but not on the level of Eichel, Mathews or many of the elite.
    Meanwhile Faber as a sophomore nhl player is.
    If he works on his pp and 3 on 3 game he’ll be in the norris trophy talk.

    Jake Guentzel is the US version of Braden Point, under rated big game player.
    Brock Faber just continues to impress in his sophomore season. Tasked with containing the McDavid line all night until that final icing denied a line change.
    Mathew Tkchuck should have been held out. No way an injured Tkchuck is better than a healthy anyone else on that team.

    One thing no one can deny that ended up being one heck of a hockey game.
    I think the all-star game thing will be gone unless there’s a big injury pile up.

    I watched a good amount of the game. Brodin made a very uncharacteristic mistake on I think the second maybe third goal on a 2 on 1 and left Gus hanging. Always leave the shooter for the goalie and take away the pass. Gus looked really good for the amount of the game I watched, though the Swedes were still down when I flipped it off. I missed Ek’s goal. Let me guess from 3 feet away? LOL

    Enough blame to go around on that 2 on 1 goal. Horrible turnover by Hedman and very little effort to try and recover from his mistake.

    If Billy hasn’t figured out what Rossi is a player by now I doubt he’s smart enough to go after Cozens.

    Lots of trade speculation around Buffalo Sabres Center Dylan Cozens (2019 #7 overall pick, we took Boldy at #12)

    If he’s still available this offseason (when we have capspace) if you’re GMBG and you still have doubts about Marco Rossi as a long term 1C, do you give them a call and see if they would do a swap (we include one of our Iowa Wild defenseman too)

    Cozens is 23 years old, RH shot Center who’s huge (6’3”) and can skate and he’s locked in at $7.1 aav for the next 5 years… he had a 30 goal season a few years ago, but like the rest of the Sabres, the last few years have been down ones… Put him in a healthy team environment with good linemates and he could take off…

    Again, this is all based on if Billy isn’t sold on Marco long term… if so Cozens would be a good option to look into…

    Lots of fans are questioning if he’s truly available and if so, why is Buffalo giving up on him so early after he proved he can be successful in the NHL? My guess is because its dysfunctional Buffalo and maybe they like the many high end Center prospects they have coming better??

    Does the weed line theory work when the weed line is so shallow due to extremely green water in the summer?
    Some of the lakes I fish have a weed line that is almost cliff like at 10 feet.

    Only 5 Gills is a huge no from me. I could agree on 10 at a minimum but would rather keep what I want up to 20.
    [/quote]
    If the 5 gills were all 8”+ would that work?
    Right now I struggle to find 8”+ gills. The over fishing in my area is pretty bad.
    I do think they should go back to a daily and possession limit.

    Groin injuries are awful especially when you constantly open your hips and try to push off the way Karill does.

    My only advice would be if he decides to delay college, continue doing calculus on the side.
    Calculus is what gets most engineering students in the most trouble.

    I usually just ask, hey do you mind if I use these holes as long as I keep my distance.
    I’ve never been told yes I mind.

    The league has an eight player minimum of nhl vets playing. Maybe they need some type of maximum as well.
    Granted the home team almost always loads the roster and the away teams don’t because it’s better for the home fans. But last night was kind of cruel to the Wild youngsters.

    Just because they took less money to play here doesn’t mean we didn’t overpay.
    IMO they should have been offered a 6-8 year deal.

    For whatever reason that has always been the issue with the Wild. I think that was one of the reasons they overpaid Parise and Suter. Thinking they would be able to draw talent to sign.
    Worked out in the opposite.

    Find an area in your drive time and start looking for a resort. Get your name on the list of as many as you can. One will have an opening and you can always wait for the resort you really want to open up. Some will want you to remove your camper at season end, some will open the gate at the start of the season and close at the end.
    Some will let you use your lot in the winter. North Star resort Mille Lacs lake.

    I had this exact issue with my units, assuming you are running a network box.
    My issue was the power cord to the network box was bad. Intermittent connection. New power cord. Problem solved.

    My guess is when it wrapped the cords on the rod holder it pulled somethig loose.

    There is a reason ground hogs are called woodchuck, and they do Chuck wood.
    If he gets under a wood building he’ll make a mess of it.
    Luckily they are easily removed, a 22 between the ear and eyeball usudoes it. Also when they are out they usually want to be out and will come back out after being scared into their hole.

    By the list of bars I will guess that no one here is from Shakopee. I believe it was called the Jug back then, now it’s gone.
    But I remember Arnie’s the most because it was open at 8 am for us night shift workers and he always had enough money to cash our pay checks.
    He would also allow you to order 6 at last call and stay till they were gone. Getting of at midnight really puts a cramp on a fun time for a young guy.

    This game may come down to the crappy ice in Florida.
    If it’s hot and humid the may turn soft and that would be advantage Panthers.

    Edmonton also needs to stop playing so fancy. Last night they continually passed up shots from the slot to make a pass to the faceoff dots. Shoot the puck already.

    Eric, do know what happened to the Mayfly hatches?
    Did the Zebras, spiny water flea, or the septic clean up cause the lack of Mayfly?
    Does the Mayfly loss affect Walleye or Perch the most.

    100 years from now they will still be arguing about Mille Lacs. As long as neither side trusts the other nothing is changing. FWIW, the Mn DNR likely trusts the bands DNR, but Mn anglers don’t trust either one.

    But if the Minniesota DNR was as straight forward and forth coming as Eric has been much of this distrust might be abated.
    But the DNR seems to think we’re all a bunch of hicks that couldn’t possibley understand this subject.

    Eric when they look at the harvestable surplus do they take into account all of the other predator species that consume the baitfish population?
    Is there ever going to be a point where the decisions need to start addressing the growing smallmouth population?
    Or is this just Walleye?

    I saw a few more stories on this trading for Necas idea, one speculated a Rossi and Spurgeon (to make the capspace work) for Necas trade…

    Absolute insanity. This would be the kind of deal Fecktard Fenton would do.

    Necas is bigger, right shot and averaging 3/4 points per game over his career, but I agree with Grouse.
    Not worth what the cost.

    How would the Wild possibly come out ahead by moving Rossi AND a top 2 defender for a 24 goal/53 point guy? Rossi will EASILY beat that goal and most probably point tally next season so Spurgeon would be given away for zero gain.

    The only Rossi package deal where the wild actually gain would have to involve packaging an underachiever player that wild want to dump anyway. Break even trades don’t do the wild any good. We have to have a trade that actually gets us something more than we have or it makes no sense.

    Thank you Eric! I wish our DNR was that straightforward with a reply.
    Do the DNR and Bands do forage base assessments as well as prey?
    As a fisheries biologist is there a preferred age ratio to individual fish species, so the age classes are more broadly represented?

    I’d be willing to bet that they’d like to. I’d also bet they know the lake can handle some harvest and could use some. I don’t believe there is any comanagement. I think their hands are tied by the tribe and they won’t admit it. Instead they twist data to justify their ultra tight regs. It’d be interesting to know why that is. My guess is money and politics.

    The management of Mille lacs lake is unlike any other body of water in the state and I think that is because they are not allowed to manage it.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if the <strong class=”ido-tag-strong”>perch population actually came back if they allowed some harvest of walleyes. And I’m not talking about 1 fish between 20-22 type harvest.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if you were 100% correct!

    With the introduction of zebra muscles, the water fleas,rusty crayfish and the reduction in mayflies the forage base has changed so 200k+ harvest is a thing of the past.
    Cannibalism has happened before you would think they would have learned.
    BigWerm is right though, the hooking mortality is not accurate enough.
    I don’t know what figure they use, but the the bands did a telemetry study and I believe their mortality was 5%.

    It would seem to me the DNR should be trying to keep a more sustainable forage to prey ratio.
    Much the same as a rancher only puts out enough cattle in a pasture as the pasture will feed.
    Only difference is we would be removing large fish instead of not putting out cattle.
    How to get the bands to agree is probably the issue though.
