I've always loved Raymond. (HAHA I SAID THE THING.) It's been sort of surreal to see the blogger-journo-nerd intelligentsia set (BJNIS) give a blank check of unconditional support to a Red Wings prospect like they have with Raymond. Like, I'll see some Wings fans be like "I dunno, man, he hasn't exactly torn the SHL apart" and the BJNIS is like "Don't worry. Dude is legit. Trust me. Y'all got this, fam." Obviously I'm exaggerating a bit. But only a bit. You know a kid is special when the usually-conservative summary blurbs are throwing around words like "extremely," "massive," "incredible," and "nightmare." https://dobberprospects.com/player/lucas-raymond/ https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/350702/lucas-raymond Mind you, my Raymond love isn't based on BJNIS HYPE! I've watched him play. I've dug into his stats. He's probably the only Wings prospect I'll ever describe as having "very real Zetterberg 2.0 potential." Can he be an NHL 1C? Yes. *Will* he be an NHL 1C? Don't count on it. But, hey, you never know. Raymond becoming that monster 1C we desperately need would be so f***ing perfect that I almost have to believe it's meant to be. But even if he's not an NHL centerman (and we should assume he's not), he's the rare kind of player who can control the full 200 feet of ice from the wing. Worth noting: His body is still very "has lifted weights a couple times." https://twitter.com/IcehockeyG/status/1434616141431902218/photo/1 That's how we know he won't be seeing much/any NHL action this coming season. But, more to the point, it's how we know post-draft Raymond isn't even close to his final form. When he bulks up and gets bigger, stronger, faster...look out.

The desire to spark debate is admirable. If you ever studied debate, you would know you lose the high ground by name calling. If you are to be believed and trolling is not your goal, then I simply suggest sticking to the topic and not tip your hand as to your biases. Granted, you may not care for traditional news sources, but rarely does the Associated Press call people Vaxtards, just sayin'. I don't use Tictok and I have no facebook, etc. Just pure sources... https://www.media.pa.gov/pages/health-details.aspx?newsid=1595 The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention defines post-vaccination cases as individuals who are fully vaccinated and tested positive for COVID-19 more than 14 days after they completed their full one-dose or two-dose vaccination series. They are also referred to as vaccine breakthrough cases. Today’s online report shows that since January 2021: · 97 percent of COVID-19-related deaths were in unvaccinated or not fully vaccinated people. Among a total of 6,472 COVID-19-related deaths identified in Pennsylvania in 2021, the latest data shows 213, or three percent, post-vaccination deaths identified. Cumulative death incidence among the unvaccinated and not fully vaccinated was 7.9 times as high as the death incidence among the fully vaccinated. · 95 percent of reported hospitalizations with COVID-19 as the primary diagnosis/cause of admission were in unvaccinated or not fully vaccinated people. Among a total of 34,468 hospitalizations with COVID-19 as the primary diagnosis/cause of admission reported in Pennsylvania, 1,820 were reported to have occurred in fully vaccinated people. These figures account for data from 55 percent of all hospitals and 69 percent of acute care hospitals in Pennsylvania, representing approximately 80 percent of acute care beds in the state. · 94 percent of reported COVID-19 cases were in unvaccinated or not fully vaccinated people. Among a total of 639,729 positive cases, there have been 35,389, or six percent, identified post-vaccination cases. Cumulative case incidence among the unvaccinated and not fully vaccinated was 7.1 times as high as the case incidence among the fully vaccinated. “That means that 97 percent of deaths reported through the beginning of September were in unvaccinated or not fully-vaccinated people,” Beam said.

No, he plays on the top d-pair in the SHL for Frölunda

Filth and lies

...but will you have the same username? OH! Sorry, couldn't resist! I think it would be awesome if he developed into a C. Anything to get us back to glory!

Ok, so you don’t have a degree in research, chemistry, epidemiology, infectious disease, microbiology, virology, or such. You threw out percentages and information, but didn’t back it up. I asked for more specifics to drill down your post/information you were sharing. Once again, you mention a number/percentage, but don’t back it up. You may want to re read my posts, I never used the term frontline worker. More power to you on having one account here banned, create a new one, have it banned again, and so forth. While the internet is so useful in many ways, that is not one of them. Don’t really need to add anymore to this discussion or thread as I am sure other members could do without you. Enjoy your time and good luck.

All that being said, I'd offer them a top 5 protected 2022 1st (protected to 2023) and then the following 1st no matter what. So, if the 2022 first is #6 or after then they get the 22 and 23 1st round picks(no matter where 23 lands.) If the 22 pick is #1-#5 then they get the 2023 and 2024 1st (neither of which would be protected)

What exactly is the drive time from Sweden to Detroit?
