Asked and Answered: Weekend With Burkie
Pension Plan Puppets
January 15 2012 12:30PM
"Dear Bob, Trade me Getzlaf or else"
This feature has become so popular that The Star and Sportsnet have copied it. Of course, neither one offers much in terms of analysis so without further ado: Copy+PastePlus after the jump!
Whom do you respect the most in the hockey world? Thanks #someoneyouadmire - @penguinsfan1984
BB - Pat Quinn, Lou Lamoriello, Glen Sather and Gary Bettman are guys I admire, aspire to be like and have learned from.
PPP - That's a pretty good list right up until the end. I'm guessing that Burke admires Bettman's ability to take so much shit without flipping out which, if you ever read Burke's mentions, is a trait that he needs on a daily basis.
What is the hardest hockey decision you have ever had to make. Thanks for giving us all your thoughts with Twitter - @jcmlocker
BB - Sending Colton Orr down was right up there, believe me.
PPP - Hmmm, seemed like a pretty easy decision to make but I know Burke's gotta keep up his 'rats' storyline.
Who is your favourite historical figure or your favourite history based film/show - @crupimike
BB - Abraham Lincoln. Winston Churchill. George Washington.
Churchill was a Leafs fan
PPP - Not much to quibble with here. I have a book called "The Wit and Wisdom of Winston Churchill" which, if you can find it, I recommend reading. That guy was hilarious. Sample story: Churchill was in Manitoba somewhere at an unveiling of a bust of himself. A rather rubenesque woman commented to him that she had travelled hundreds of kilometres to see the unveiling of said bust. Churchill responded that he was flattered and that he can assure her that he would gladly return the favour if she were ever to unveil hers.
what is the best advise you've receive in your career as a leader? - @chrisok13
BB - A group of smart, fearless people is stronger than any one person. Surround yourself with smart, fearless people.
PPP - An interesting bit of knowledge that came from Burke's appearance on Bob McCown's show was that the Leafs pay Dave Nonis a hefty premium so that they deny any team that asks the chance to consider him for a GM vacancy. He said it's happened twice. On the other hand, the rest of the management team (Poulin, Loiselle) have windows in their contract when they can try to get other jobs.
Who has been the most influential mentor to you, both inside and outside of the league? - @WalterNorris
BB - Pat Quinn, my boss when I first started as an Asst GM in Vancouver in 1987. Great teacher, very smart. I admire him.
PPP - Pat Quinn is great. He's a friend of the blog. He showed that winning gold with Canada at the World Juniors is harder than it looks. And the Oilers are paying for the disgraceful way that they treated him. He was also the coach the last time the Leafs were really good. In short, I could think of worse people Burke could admire.
What are your thoughts about the French media in MTL wanting a French speaking head coach? Should it be about Ws and not language - @unclebizzy3
BB - I agree in general. I hate walls of any kind. But I understand why this is important in this market as well.
PPP - Gare Joyce and others have made the case that the Canadiens are a cultural touchstone that requires Francophone representation. I agree with those that think that this would be a non-issue if the team didn't suck and their GM wasn't insane.
as a former NHL employee, does the NHL review the tapes on blown calls with refs? Just wondering-that would be a lot of tape... @plantheparade
BB - NHL Refs are the best in the world. It is the hardest sport to officiate by a mile. Yes, calls are reviewed.
Think of how bad Burke must think European refs are to call this guy and his peers the best
PPP - They may be the best but they sure screw up a lot. There's no transparent process to explain when calls have been blown and what the resolution is which exacerbates the fans' frustrations.
I was curious to know if the Leafs medical team has a chiropractor on staff? travel with the team? home base? Great work Mr B!! - @fagan360
BB - Yes, we do, on call. Does great work!
PPP - That sounds great as long as it's a male...
will the NHL grandfather visors into the league like they did w helmets? - @SmeagleT
BB - It is hard to say. It's a CBA issue. The PA has always opposed mandatory visors.
PPP - This is something that will eventually have to be mandated from the owners' side. Players cling to the ridiculous belief that it makes them less of a man to wear a visor so they won't be the ones to step forward for mandatory visors. Owners and GMs might eventually realize that they are losing money and their players because of this reticence. If I was an owner or GM I'd hate to lose money or games because one of my players was too dumb to wear a visor.
do you train/educate your players on how to deal with the media? Do Leaf players have a choice to turn media down for interviews? - @OakvilleDoc
BB - Yes, we do. And yes, they can turn down individual requests, and do.
PPP - It's kind of funny to think that Kessel and Phaneuf have actually been trained to deal with the media because they aren't really know for being good at it. Also, some communications people might suggest that Burke struggles with his frankness and expectation setting in the media as well but at least the team is trying.
would you still make the kessel deal today? - @Trotskov
BB - Yes!
PPP - I can't imagine he's answer otherwise.
Do you think it would benefit players/league to raise draft age to 20? Would make for way better hockey in CHL/NCAA. - @GoLeafsGo00
BB - This is a CBA topic, so our commentary is (sensibly) limited. Lots of groups support this age for drafting. Sound logic.
PPP - This couldn't be done without some sort of agreement between the CHL and the NCAA to deal with players' eligibility or changes to the limits of overagers on CHL rosters. The trickle down effect would be pretty dramatic. I think it works just fine as it is now.
do u laugh when other gms make stupid moves like Gauthier trading for kabs? Do u ever tell other gms they got fleeced in a deal - @Jasonmaggio
BB - Never whine, never boast, never taunt another manager. I have made some awful trades, I am in no position to point fingers!
PPP - It would be whistling past the graveyard to say anything else but I like to think that Burke looked at the Cammalleri trade and chuckled to himself that he won't have to worry about the Habs for as long as Gauthier is GM.
Curious: do you watch non-Leafs games every night like the rest of us? Or mostly catch high lights, key matchups? - ShoelessJoesOSH
BB - Every night. Centre Ice package is great.
PPP - Unless you're getting logged out for no apparent reason as I notice happens frequently to people on Twitter. Then, it really helps to be good at finding illegal streams.
What is the chance of Moneypuck (unrealized hockey opportunities shown in non-traditional statistics) happening? Thanks Mary - @merna1969
BB - No team has ever won a championship in baseball with a pure Moneyball system. No analog in hockey, in my view. Great book.
Burke's secret weapons
PPP - Parsing Burke's comments, I'd agree that no one has won in baseball with a pure Moneyball system. Although, the Red Sox did win two titles with Moneyball + a lot of money. My understanding is that part of what made them successful was that their prospects filled prominent roles cheaply which let them spend money on UFAs to fill any gaps. Burke's been a regular attendee at MIT's Sports Analytics Conference so I think he's a guy that is interested in the application of advanced stats to hockey.
He's previously commented that he gets sent a lot of statistical systems that seek to explain hockey in one go. His comments are that after testing them they haven't found them robust enough which most advanced stats guys would agree with: the best approach, right now with the information available, is to use a variety of measures. Teams have been tracking things like Corsi and scoring chances since the 70s so I see Burke's answer more as saying that there's no single silver bullet for hockey.
who's your favorite baseball player? - @franks_time
BB - I will look old if I answer all time favourite. Right now, it's Derek Jeter, even though I loathe the Yankees! He's a real pro!
PPP - Hmmm based on this answer maybe he does discount statistics.
who is/was the best dressing room leader you've either played with or have had on a roster? - @billski8
BB - Dion and Mark Messier. Both have rare leadership skills and great intensity!
PPP - Ok, so this may be why Dion gets called overrated.
Since you have such a young team, would you be interested in bringing in veteran guy to help out in the room? Boys seem to panic - @JasonDenomme
BB - Not right now. We're young, but have an excellent veteran leadership group!
PPP - It's easy to forget but depending on the team that the Leafs are icing on any given night they are among the five youngest teams in the league and sometimes the youngest. They do have more than enough veterans on the team so I don't think any move needs to be made that addresses this specifically. If it's a by-product then it's a bonus.
how much does loyalty factor into his decisions - @Leafer1984
BB - A great deal, but what is best for the Club is always the trump card.
PPP - This is pretty re-assuring.
Do you ever personally spend time reading/hearing the fans opinions about the team, either online or elsewhere? Thanks! - @Shanessm
BB - Our fans' opinions are very important to us. All those outlets are monitored. I place great importance on their views.
PPP - Oh boy, if you read Burke's mentions then you're glad that this is pandering. If you write a couple of blogs then it makes you worried you might get killed for what you write.
What's your biggest challenge in making deals with other GMs? - @stubnyourtoesux
BB - As a group, I find them very stingy and selfish! They seldom share my enthusiasm for the great deals I throw at them! :-)
PPP - "They aren't all Darryl Sutter".
January 16 2012, 08:15AM
I have to believe Burke's admiration of Bettman is all about Bettman's ability to blatantly lie, mislead, deceive, and generally ignore all factual evidence contrary to what he is saying during an interview or press conference and do so with that "I am smarter than you you idiot" smirk on his face.

Hmmmmm, it works regardless of the 5 senses, but... it could be said that by entering sage mode, Kabuto gained another sense, so it's possible that by utilizing senjutsu's perceptual ability, he might feel through nature what happens in the real world.
The jutsu was activated here (chapter 580):
At chapter 581, Itachi confirms that it's already prepared:
And finally it is complete (chapter 586):
BTW. Someone was asking why other jutsus weren't used:

reid's telltale label, also note the awesome lining.
Words by Jian DeLeon Photos by Jay Wen
Hot on the heels of his GQ win for "Best Menswear Designer of the Year" and the resulting (and rather competent) Levi's Collaboration, Alabama good old boy Billy Reid stabs further westward with his Fall/Winter 2011 line. Plenty of these pieces seem a natural fit with his Stetson hat collaboration, a collection that skews more "Boardwalk Empire" than "Mad Men" in terms of period references and patterns. Tobacco brown leather takes the form of a tough-looking overcoat and a ruggedly elegant blazer. Boots are subtly brogued so as to not look too dandy, and shirts in a variety of fits and patterns are ever present. It may seem like his collection is going mainstream with this borderline "more-of-the-same" design -- it's different, but only slightly. That may be because he plans on expanding the brand, with plans to open up a store in Washington, DC coming into fruition. Nevertheless, Billy Reid stays straddling the line between an aspiring Ralph Lauren and a so-called "heritage brand."
this tobacco leather is already showing some signs of wear.
an array of the line's shirts.
on-trend brogue boots in black...
...and in burnished brown.
that's one hardy-looking duffle.

Israel -
The Genesis Philanthropy Group and Masa Israel Journey Introduce
A New, Comprehensive Initiative to Strengthen the Jewish Identity of Young Jews from the Former Soviet Union
The Genesis Philanthropy Group and Masa Israel Journey, a joint initiative of the government of Israel and The Jewish Agency for Israel, are set to launch a brand-new initiative to strengthen the Jewish identity of young Jews from the former Soviet Union and to deepen their connections to Israel. The initiative is based on a model that includes a weeklong tour dedicated to familiarizing participants with Israel and its society, in the course of which participants will explore their Jewish identity in an educational and experiential manner and will also discover their personal connections to the Jewish people, to the Land of Israel, and to Jewish heritage. The program's pilot will take place on October 22 and will involve 220 young people from throughout the former Soviet Union.
The Genesis Philanthropy Group concentrates its efforts on deepening the Jewish identity of Russian-speaking Jews around the world and in Israel by developing and supporting a vast range of educational initiatives, with a particular focus on the history and heritage of the Jewish communities of Russia and the former Soviet Union. Masa Israel Journey, a joint venture between the government of Israel and The Jewish Agency, brings more than 10,000 Jewish young people to Israel each year, presenting them with more than 200 long-term program opportunities. Some 1,500 young Jews from the former Soviet Union participate in Masa each year. The Jewish Agency has placed a particular emphasis on Russian-speaking Jews, estimated at three million individuals worldwide, and is developing a vast range of programs aimed at addressing the unique characteristics and needs of the community.
The two organizations—Genesis and Masa—decided for the first time to collaborate on a comprehensive joint venture aimed at intensifying the educational component of programs targeting young people from the former Soviet Union. The initiative, based on a weeklong educational touring experience in Israel, will soon be implemented among young Jews from the former Soviet Union participating in Masa programs this year. The educational model of the initiative is based on the success of the Mibereshit Israeli Experience, which aims to strengthen the Jewish and Zionist identity of Israeli students, and will be operated by the Mibereshit organization.
Natan Sharansky, Chairman of the Executive of The Jewish Agency, said: "There are some three million Russian-speaking Jews around the world, including hundreds of thousands in the former Soviet Union. The community is characterized by high assimilation rates on the one hand and solidarity with Israel on the other. This cooperative enterprise between the Genesis Philanthropy Group and Masa Israel Journey will provide Jewish young people from the former Soviet Union with a sense of family and common destiny with the Jewish people, and will enable them to internalize the centrality of the State of Israel to the Jewish nation and to them as individuals in the most intensive way possible."
Sana Britavsky, Executive Director of Genesis Philanthropy Group in Israel, said: "Genesis brings to this partnership with The Jewish Agency and the Israeli government our proven experience in developing high standards of educational content for projects aimed at the young Russian-speaking Jews. The goal is to enable each of them to connect to Israel and its heritage through an unmediated encounter with its people, its landscapes, and its stories. Along with our partners, Masa Israel Journey and Mibereshit Israeli Experience, we are hoping to create an integral educational space for all Masa participants from the FSU".
The first group of 220 young people from the former Soviet Union will participate in the first wave of the program over the coming week, starting on October 22. The experience will begin with a hike through Israel's Negev Desert and will reach its peak in Jerusalem. It will include volunteering in the southern town of Yeruham and meetings with representatives of Israeli society, including immigrants from the former Soviet Union who have successfully integrated into a range of fields. The experience will also include sessions with Israel Defense Forces officers from the former Soviet Union at Mount Herzl, a Friday night Kabbalat Shabbat service at the Western Wall, and other meaningful opportunities.

Comments: great pads, really durable fit around legs nicely. the only downside is that there are only three straps.
other than that, they are very nice goalie pads
From: Brendan
Comments: got these 2 weeks ago, great pads, with a few minor drawbacks. first, the toe ties lasted
about 3 days, after playing street hockey twice for about an hour all together, and i had to replace the toe ties with my own. Next,
the buckles have to be upgraded. they are ok buckles at first look, but they should make the buckles like ice pads. Last, the straps
should be better. while i play with skates, which is really all i play with, the straps make sounds which they feel like they are ripping
out of the pads.Other than those, the pads are perfect for inline or street hockey. (i only play on skates, btw)
From: Brendan, Sewell, New Jersey, The United States of America
Comments: Really Durable just got them today i love them best ones i have ever had!
From: John, USA
Comments:I just got these pads yesterday and was really surprised, there tougher than I thought and they
came at a great value. They are a bit stiff at first and a little diffacult to butterfly in them but you just need to break em in. I'm 5'9
and these fit me great, cant wait to start playing !!

Deeplinks Blog posts about NSA Spying
with assistance from Rainey Reitman.
A year ago, President Obama made tepid promises to reform the NSA (check out our analysis of those commitments). Today, he followed up with more specifics.
What do you need to know? His reform plan:
"Warrant canary" is a colloquial term for a regularly published statement that an internet service provider (ISP) has not received legal process that it would be prohibited from saying it had received, such as a national security letter. The term "warrant canary" is a reference to the canaries used to provide warnings in coalmines, which would become sick from carbon monoxide poisoning before the miners would—warning of the otherwise-invisible danger. Just like canaries in a coalmine, the canaries on web pages "die" when they are exposed to something toxic—like a secret FISA court order.
Late last week, a group of four peers on Britain's House of Lords attempted to insert the entirety of the "Snoopers' Charter"—the Internet surveillance bill that was savaged by a Parliamentary overview, and abandoned by the UK's current coalition government—into a new counter-terrorism bill.
Under an incredibly tight deadline, thousands of UK citizens coordinated to warn the House of Lords what these amendments represented, and why they should oppose such an underhanded move. Over twenty-eight thousand messages were sent via EFF's action center to the 150 peers who are on Twitter: and that's not counting the emails, letters and phone calls.
You may have heard that the Patriot Act is set to expire soon. That's not quite the case. The Patriot Act was a large bill, as were the reauthorizations that followed in 2005 and 2006. Not all of it sunsets. But three provisions do expire on June 1st: Section 215, the "Lone Wolf provision," and the "roving wiretap" provision.
We have a problem when it comes to stopping mass surveillance.
The entity that's conducting the most extreme and far-reaching surveillance against most of the world's communications—the National Security Agency—is bound by United States law.
That's good news for Americans. U.S. law and the Constitution protect American citizens and legal residents from warrantless surveillance. That means we have a very strong legal case to challenge mass surveillance conducted domestically or that sweeps in Americans' communications.
Similarly, the United States Congress is elected by American voters. That means Congressional representatives are beholden to the American people for their jobs, so public pressure from constituents can help influence future laws that might check some of the NSA's most egregious practices.

If you haven't fully developed your business plan for 2013−either if you are a business owner or if you are an originator−you are way behind the curve.
But Citibank Small Business has come out with 10 ideas that no matter what time of year it is, mortgage industry participants need to seriously consider in order to stay competitive in what is expected to be a tougher year for originations. Experts believe rates will rise in the second half of the year, obliterating refinancings.
These tips come from a survey the unit took. While aimed at business owners, there are things originators should also take to heart. They include:
1) Do your research and get educated. While 88% of small business owners surveyed remain up to date and knowledgeable about their business and industry, they also pay attention to market changes in order to remain competitive.
"Many business owners focus on their skills and industry knowledge," says Jerome Byers, head of Citibank Small Business. "To find truly new business ideas, often the best sources are from other industries and markets. When seeking new answers, all business owners are your peers."
2) As always, work hard, be diligent and do what needs to get done.
Perhaps one of the easiest identifiers of a business owner is their sense of dedication and willingness to dig into all aspects of the business. One sign of that commitment is their inability to take a break; 53% didn't take a vacation last summer.
"Small business owners don't stop when the clock strikes 5:00," says Byers. "But it's also important to know when an outside resource can do something better and faster and offer new ideas and approaches based on their experience."
3) Update or upgrade technology. Close to 70% of respondents have updated or upgraded their computer systems, with 51% proclaiming a major technology change to their business operations.
4) Know your clients. Citibank found that 67% of those surveyed said they have increased face time with customers to keep their business thriving in today's economy.
"Small businesses thrive on deep customer relationships," Byers notes. "Face time isn't just client service. Those relationships contribute to staying educated about your market and can be the source of ideas. A conversation today can be part of your business plan tomorrow."
5) Keep a close eye on cash and budgets. Many small businesses are budgeting conservatively and pocketing cash reserves as a cushion. Their caution stems from experience, as 58% say a major challenge to running the business in the past few years has been having enough cash. Most small business owners (73%) handle their own cash management and feel like they have it under control.
6) Be involved. Whether it's the 51% who built a network of suppliers and partner companies around the business, or the 47% who became more active in the community and other local organizations, small business owners understand the value of investing time in the community.
7) Be prepared. If the economy were to face another downturn, 80% of survey respondents feel prepared to weather market weakness. In previous Citibank small business surveys, small business owners said they took actions such as reducing costs, renegotiating contracts and operating leaner.
8) Plan ahead. Among small business owners, 27% can predict their cash standing four to six months into the future.
"Future thinking and proactive planning is critical," says Byers. "The enemies of long-term success can be complacency over current success or paralysis over a tough situation."
9) Stick with your aspirations. Business owners bring their hopes and dreams to life when they start out, tying business to their personal sense of success. Statistically, 63% say they are living their dream and 75% would do it all over again despite the challenges.
10) Market, market, market. Over half (53%) have increased their own social media and online advertising in the past year; 54% invested in website improvements and search engine presence.

A gift included with the Chawan ... a "chip-wan" off the old block.
I cannot capture the effect with this P&S. But I think the Borneol effect mentioned and displayed by Herbmaster is what was what Cory was after. There is a layering and depth to the glaze.
Great chawan AND dragon!

June 09 2012 07:51AM
This spring, I've written several posts here at ON to serve as a "guide" for fans like me who want to follow the annual entry draft closely. Like the swallows at Capistrano, the top 30 marks the moment of arrival. This is the Lowetide top 30.
First, a couple of points. This is a "fan's" version of the top 30, not meant to be a mock draft or compete with any other lists you may have seen. I use Gabriel Desjardins' NHLE heavily and also read Corey Pronman, Redline Report, ISS and closely follow Blue Bullet's lists (which are listed on my blog--I hope to have BB on next week's show).
The summaries come from all over but are not intended to represent the full bio on any player. If you wish to read on these and more kids, I'd suggest reading Pronman and getting the final Redline report (it is now available).
- R Nail Yakupov NHLE 18-22-40. Yakupov is a famous prospect now, as famous as Hall and the Nuge before him. At this point the story will be 'Edmonton takes Nail' or 'Oilers defy wisdom, pass on Nail' The race is over.
- D Ryan Murray NHLE 5-12-17. Two-way defender with a nice range of skills, we've discussed him at length so no need to go over it again. I'm convinced Nail is the man, but any lingering doubt comes from the perfect fit of Oilers need to Murray's skills.
- C Alex Galchenyuk NHLE 11-19-30 (this is based on his 10-11 season). Oilers have a choice of two sure things, but this wild card could end up being the star of the show. Exceptional puck handler and his size makes him a lock for the lottery.
- C Mikhail Grigorenko NHLE 16-17-33. I know there are questions about effort, but there's just too much here. Size AND skill AND he's a center and on it goes. There is no doubt some risk but the possible reward is immense.
- D Griffin Reinhart NHLE 5-10-15. He has convinced NHL scouts that he's going to be a shutdown defender of some quality. Solid defender who can move the puck and like his Dad he should have some success on the PP because of his shot (Paul Reinhart scored 49% of his NHL goals on the powerplay). However, it is important to remember this: of the top end defenders, none have more value invested in goal prevention.
- R Teuvo Teravainen NHLE 12-8-20. Highly skilled winger with creativity, finish and good foot speed, he's far less a question mark due to already playing a regular shift in a man's league (SM-Liiga). Teravainen is exactly the type of player who often rips up the charts late in a draft season, perhaps suggesting he is somehow less impressive than the kids we've been reading about all winter. Not so. Teravainen has been there all along, our focus was elsewhere.
- D Morgan Rielly NHLE 4-21-25. Best offensive potential among the high end defenders, I keep coming back to those flashes of brilliance he showed against the Oil Kings in the playoffs. This guy could absolutely make grown men cry for passing on him in the draft if he delivers at the "saw him good" levels we saw this spring in Edmonton.
- D Matt Dumba NHLE 7-13-20 Without the reckless style combined with being undersized (6.0, 173) for the position, Dumba would be ranked much higher, probably 2nd among defenders on the list. If he can stay healthy while delivering those monster hits he might end up being one of the very best players in the 2012 draft.
- L Filip Forsberg NHLE 3-3-6. PF with skill, he'd rank higher on my list if Forsberg had posted better offense in Sweden's 2nd league or at the WJ's. Martin Lunden knows a lot about the Swe-2 league and told me his offensive chances (or rather being placed in high offensive situations) would probably be very low. Forsberg's agent feels he needs another year of development in Sweden.
- D Olli Maatta NHLE 2-12-14. Has a nice range of skills and might be that very rare player who just "gets" playing defense at a very young age. Has a nice range of skills both offensively and defensively, Calm feet, good skater, moves the puck expertly and recovers well, Maatta closes the gap in a heartbeat and looks completely in control.
- D Cody Ceci NHLE 7-16-23. Nice range of skills, good size-speed and he's clearly a talented young player. I think Ceci is the last of the defenseman we could reasonably assume that has at least a chance to become the best defender in the draft—it is exceptionally deep and there's a chance this OHL defender is being overlooked. Not much out of place here.
- L Pontus Aberg NHLE 11-9-20. Speed winger with good skill level, Corey Pronman tells us he played about 10 minutes a night in the SEL (making his production very good). I have him this far behind Teravainen—who appears to be a similar player—based purely on their descriptions. Aberg could be the better player.
- C Radek Faksa NHLE 12-15-27. Big forward (6.03, 203) with a nice range of skills and no obvious weaknesses. What's more, he's apparently healthy and his size/skill will get him noticed. He could easily end up among the top 10 picks this year. OHL prospects says "he's big but also has an explosive first few steps" and a team looking for just that might reach a little.
- D Jacob Trouba NHLE 4-14-18. 6.02, 194 and played well for Team USA at the World Juniors. Yet another defender with a wide range of skills, A little like Ryan Murray in that he's an excellent skater and effective puck mover but it isn't a certainty he'll be a big PP contributor once he arrives in the NHL. Off to play NCAA with Michigan in the fall.
- C Zemgus Girgensons NHLE 11-14-25. Skilled player from the same country as Oilers prospect Kristians Pelss (Latvia) Girgensons has been lighting up Dubuque (USHL) for two winters in a row now. 2-way center, excellent skater and all kinds of skill. Plays with grit, 6.02, 200.
- D Dalton Thrower NHL 7-13-20. Exactly the kind of player teams look for in one significant way: he improved a great deal from September to March. Fine skater with good offensive ability, he's also a hard hitter and an agitator. Oilers haven't said a word about him but I can't imagine they're unaware of his skills.
- L Tomas Hertl NHLE 19-21-40. Impressive season in the Czech league (the NHLE number for Czech may be inflated but we'll stick with it with an asterisk) and he's clearly skilled. Hertl's foot speed is an issue and that could impact his draft number, but he's described as a heady player and the results in a Euro pro league are exceptional for his age.
- D Matt Finn NHLE 6-13-19. Mobile defender with good speed--this defense crop never ends--and looks like a decent candidate to push through and have an NHL career as a PP defender. Finn is not as physical as some of the other kids and that might impact where he goes.
- D Derrick Pouliot NHLE 4-16-20. Another puck moving defender and a player with plus skating skills. Average size (6.0, 181) and does not have a physical reputation. He's a terrific passer, it's one of his best skills. Played on a very good junior team so the numbers may be somewhat inflated.
- C Brendan Gaunce NHLE 10-15-25. Big forward with skill who can crash and bang. He's certainly good enough to project as a skill player and he does have plenty of grit. He's a player the Oilers might consider trading up for in their efforts to add a skill/grit player for the top 6F.
- L Tim Bozon NHLE 13-12-25. I like this player a lot, he's a good skater with a plus shot and good footspeed. Described as a terrific passer and his shot is rated as being one of the best in the draft. Thinks the game well too, and there's not much left to criticize.
- D Hampus Lindholm NHLE unavailable. A good skating defenseman, he also has size and there's quite a bit on him defensively. Redline loves him--well likes him quite a bit--and there's some offensive potential too.
- G Andre Vasilevski NHLE unavailable I've made every effort not to steal from a specific draft expert, but Corey Pronman's description of this player--and reason for his ranking--is so good I'm just going to send you over there. Needless to say, a very interesting prospect.
- R Henrik Samuelsson NHLE 6-14-20. PF and a player whose draft stock rose through the spring as he helped power the Oil Kings to the Memorial Cup. Size/skill combination makes him a terrific prospect, and he's right in the wheelhouse for a team like Edmonton. He might be a perfect fit.
- R Tanner Pearson NHLE 15-22-37. He'll be 20 two months after the draft so we're talking about a player who doesn't have the development time ahead of him that we'll see from the others on this list. Smart player with skill and good size and he could come right away with the right opportunity.
- D Slater Koekkoek NHLE 5-12-17. Offensive defenseman with size, skill and an injury history. He's the first player on my list who could fall out of the first round (well, at least I think so) and he's a raw player in that it's going to take some time. Described as a physical defender.
- C Scott Laughton NHLE 8-12-20. If this was 1973, Laughton would be on his way to the Flyers--hell, he could be a Flyer now. Lacks top end skill but can play the game, but he makes a lot of things happen because of his agitating style. Smart, determined player and at 6.0, 175 he certainly doesn't shy away from physical play.
- D Damon Severson NHLE 3-13-16. Makes the list for a nice range of skills and his size will make him stand out for some teams (6.02, 200 at age 18). Streaky offense, not as promising offensively as some of the others in this year's draft.
- R Sebastian Collberg NHLE 0-0-0. Played in the SEL this season but didn't get a lot of playing time.Collberg did play well at the World Juniors (6, 4-3-7) and his scouting report suggests good things offensively. Speed is his calling card and elite prospects tells us he doesn't shy away from traffic.
- G Malcom Subban NHLE unavailable. .923SP is a terrific number for a player his age, and he appears to be something of a freak in terms of physical ability. Former NHL goalie Al Jensen compared him to Carey Price.
**edit to add: in an earlier edition of the top 30 (since fixed), I mistakenly listed Matt Dumba as having suffered an injury. My sincere apologies for the error.
If the Oilers take Nail Yakupov #1 overall, they should have a chance to add another big piece to the puzzle with their second pick at the draft--be that a center, a defender or a powerforward. I expect they'll try to move into the first round with their second rd pick and something else, something they did in 2008 to secure Riley Nash.
We are getting close to draft day, so the focus is on the kids. Lots of other items too and your questions are always the best. Email firstname.lastname@example.com or you can drop them on twitter @ItsNationRadio or lowetide_ Finally, you can simply leave your questions in the comments section and we'll ask our guests.
Scheduled to appear:
- Tom Lynn, former NHL GM, assistant GM and current player agent. His exceptional experience on both sides of the process offers us great insight. We'll talk about the draft, trades and how they develop, and some CBA-related items.
- Corey Pronman, draft expert from Hockey Prospectus. His top 100 list and profiles are an absolute wonder, and we'll discuss the top of the draft, the sheer number of quality defensemen and ask Corey to rate the Oilers blue prospects.
- Kirk Luedeke from Redline Report. Kirk has been a friend of the show since we started and we'll have one more look at this year's kids. We'll pay special attention to injuries and their impact, goalies who might go early and I'll ask about the draft implications for kids going to big NCAA schools.
- Cam Charron from Leafs Nation. Cam took over the managing editor gig for Leafs Nation this week after doing outstanding work at Canucks Army and all of the nations. The entire segment will be devoted to Chris Tanev. Probably.

Yakupov Fist overall!
Do you think Subban might be a target in the second round?
June 09 2012, 08:37AM
So much speculation leading up to the draft, its almost like Christmas!!, its a damn shame ill be stuck in Fort Mac workin and miss the beginning of it.
As much as Yakupov is starting to grow on me, unless he does what Nuge and Hall did in training camp and force the coach to play him, I cant help but think maybe ST should trade down abit.
Grabovski, Gardnier,and the 5th pick for the 1st and Davidson...then the Oilers can pick Reinhart or Galenchuck, 2 birds with 1 stone, get nhl help now with Grabovski and Gardnier while still have an eye on the future with Reinhart or Galenchuck.
June 09 2012, 09:11AM
I'll keep saying this until Tambellini doesn't do it.
The Oilers need another pick in the top ten, don't care how they do it, but it needs to get done.
If Pronman is as reliable as his scouting reports then there is very little that differentiates between the defensemen in this draft, your going offensive or defensive just have to pick the one you want.
The Oilers have a real opportunity to get into the top ten and draft a really good defensive player; I just hope Tambellini doesn't mess around.
Tamby has stated many time, he is waiting for the phone to ring. I assume that this means, he is not proactively trying to call other GM's, and secure another first round pick.
In more than one interview he has stated he is still waiting for the phone to ring..............sounds like Mr. Dithers does it not? For all those who are expecting another deal to help this team, might I suggest that this will not happen given who we have running the team.
Prediction: We will draft Nail. Other teams will wheel and deal. Mr. Dithers will sith and watch.
Im in Kelowna, trying to stream 1260, but their stream is down online and the iphone app. Anyone know another site that streams 1260? Gotta get my Saturday Fix...
I've been trying for 45 minutes to listen to the show, but no go. I doubt that there are any other sites streaming theteam1260.
I guess now we wait until Sunday or Monday...
Edit: At least their ads are still streaming. Now to find something else to do this afternoon... can't seem to shake the idea of going to a movie, for some reason...
LT, that photo is pretty great, but the photo that stands out is the last pic of Scarlett in her slutty gear.

@Clyde Frog
You are right about Gally. Personally, I don't see him as a 'close second' to Nail. Everyone has been calling him a "big centerman" but he is definitely not a big guy -- like you said only about an inch taller than Nail. For anyone who doesn't believe, have a look at the side by side pictures from the draft combine. Nail has grown a lot from when he came to the OHL 2 years ago. I think his stocky build (big legs and wide hips) will translate very well at the pro level.
Nail was the straw in Sarnia. Same as Kane when he played on a line with Gags in London. I'm not saying Gally and Gags are bad, but they are not as good as Nail or Kane.
All of us Oiler fans will be thanking the hockey gods when we see Nail play. He is a special player.
If the Oilers went off the board a little and picked Gal, I wouldn't be too upset about that. And I Subban is available when the Oilers pick again, that's a pretty good haul imo.
I notice you are down on Tom Wilson. Is this your JF Jacques fear? I believe he will be gone in the first rd, but does make sense for the Oilers if available at 31. To me the biggest org need is size and grit up front. We have lots of D prospects and I think as tempting as Subban is, a goalie shouldn't be taken until at least the third round.
Guys I hope they target are Wilson, Samuellson, Gaunce, Sissons and Laughton.
TARGET . Yakupov first and then work something to get Truoba . Also work on deal to get an additional early pick in draft for next season , as it's likely to be a lot better than this years. Samuelsson in second round at best .
Work to rid bad contracts of Khabby , Horcoff and Hemsky if he fails early to produce . Those overpaid contracts effect the overall team physche and thus players fail to produce when they are not producing at their contract weight .Buy out if necessary to send a positive message to rest of club - produce or else .
- There's no way I'll ever see NHLE and not mistakenly think No Limit Hold 'Em first.
- I'm not usually a fan of your favorite Scarlett but I'll accept that she's kind of cute in that first shot
- Presumably, you've done these lists for past drafts as well. How've you stacked up against the big boys?
First of all, I'm firmly in the "draft Yakupov with the 1st pick" camp. But after that, what are the chances of trading the 2nd or 3rd round pick with a young forward like say Omark for a chance at Griffin Reinhart? Could he go as late as 8th overall? Might Carolina be into a deal like that?
June 09 2012, 09:01AM
Go see the Avengers dude that'll change your mind about her
I suppose your list is more of a "this is how I'd do it" rather than a "this is how I think it will go"? It seems like an important distinction to make. You could always do both... :)
a lg dubl dubl
I probably will... I just want to see all the lead in flicks first.
It will be interesting draft this year not just for the Oilers. Columbus has to make a decision on Nash, Nashville on Suter and of course Burke in Toronto is always a sideshow. If the wheels start to turn like they did last year with Philly and the Richards/Carter deals, Friday the 22nd will be very interesting.
As for the Oilers, I still believe if any of the following; Grigorenko, Reinhart,or Reilly are available at Carolina's pick, the Oilers will try their hardest to make a deal.
If Friday the 22nd at 10pm we are discussing the Oilers taking Yakupov at #1 and trading for #8 and picking Reilly I think that would be one hell of a 1st round for the Oilers!
I haven't seen that 1979 draft list. Can't find it with a quick Google either.
June 09 2012, 09:26AM
Columbus is in a sweet spot IMO. They can easily move forward with Johansen/Galchenyuk at Center.
They could probably get the #5 pick and parts from Toronto for Rick Nash. If they trade him, there are 2 franchise players available in next year's draft.
I could see the Blue Jackets turning things around pretty quick actually.
This is what happens when you have been married for 12 years. Scarlett who? There was a picture? Just the text. Nothing but the text.
Malcom Subban at 31? New Jersey will forfiet this year right? The question for me is will we even have that pick. Tambo needs to be aggresive. I know that is liking saying a cat should bark like a dog. But if one of Galchenyuk and/or Grigorenko is available at 4 I would be be like a dog on a bone and offer up the farm to the Islanders for a chance to take one or the other.
The Hurricanes are a possible trade partner. They need a top 6 forward, a 5-6 dman who can play it rough and a top 9 LW. Hemsky,MP and Peckham for thier 8th and thier 3rd round pick.
Washington? Who the heck knows what direction they'll go at the draft. Semin is certain not to be back so a pitch for Zach Parise seems certain. They have 2 picks including the 12th. Could they be looking to adding a player like Hemsky? Radulov? Without doubt they remain the most interesting team in the Eastern Conference for me in terms of not knowing what they direction they might go.
Tampa Bay? Could the Oilers add a second round ick with a call to Steve Yzerman.The Lightning need upgrades evrywhere including in net. Would a deal be had for Belanger and Bulin?
Of the picks you have listed the one that I would make a play for in the 20th-30th is Henrick samuelson. His footspeed initialy is a little slow to begin with but when he gets to the ofensive zone the kid is a bulldog. He so would be my pick. I like hime as a compliment to our skill guys. Lastly Mitch Moroz. I would draft him in a heartbeat. A 3rd line guy who will be Kelly Buchburger type player. A standup guy who will put himself out there for his teammates and will bang in 15-20 goals. A better/tougher version of Ryan Jones. Character in spades.You can't teach that. He either has that or he does not.
Where will you be draft day. How much will T-shirts cost at the Pint on Draft day and are we doing anything for charity in terms of raising money from the sales of the T-Shirts and such. I'f ON gets together it should be for fun,goodtimes and charity. Thats just the way to be.I'll be at The Pint with my 2 nephews. I don't drink but I am certain my 2 nephews will make up for me.

Care to elaborate on Dumba's knee troubles?
Dalton Thrower at 16 LT... I was hoping he'd fall to the second round.
Nail looks like the brown version of mike cammallari in that picture.
Galchenyuk and Morgan Reilly both missed significant parts of this season. Grigorenko had Mono. How do those factors influence the draft? And is size an issue for the Oilers if they take Yakupov. I would think that they would need to ensure that a player like TH lines up on the opposite wing.
Re: Galchenyuk
I've seen a couple of articles where his size is mentioned as some sort of plus, but after looking at some pics of him with Yakupov and other prosects I'm having a hard time seeing where this is coming from...to me he looks no taller than Yakupov (who's listed at 5'11"). MAYBE he's 6 feet tall, but that's it. As for weight, it's hard to tell but to my eyes he's definitely not over 200 pounds, in fact I'd be surprised if he was over 190.
IMO his size is neither a plus nor a minus...it's just average, maybe slightly below average.
@Rama Lama. I hope to Crom you are wrong. 3 year extension. I would think that would be an incentive to be more aggressive. With a new contract in hand Tambo should be feeling frisky. The extension is a validation of the work he has done so far. I think my/our own impatience at times is because we can see the light at the end of the tunnel but we want it to be closer than it is now. Jedai mantra applys "Patience".

June 09 2012, 12:15PM
Is just too big a risk to trade the farm for... Everyone loves to hold his 16 year old season up as the amazing litmus test, but Yak outproduced him by 20 goals in the same year.
I see him as the sort of move Burke would make to prove he is smarter than your average bear, but outside of that I see him slipping.
Losing a year of development is huge, especially when you are looking to make a jump from 16-20 year old competition to the 27-35 range...
We talk about the impact of a kid like Doughty missing training camp and how that can derail a season. Look what happened to Ethan Moreau & Fernando Pisani's game once they lost entire seasons.
Sure the kid could be amazing, but drafting him top 10 just carries huge risks. I am sure someone will take a chance, but those are the chances that can seriously set back an organization.
Looking past the hype I see a kid of average size who posted a pretty good 16 year old season beside a kid who posted a stellar one. The kid who posted the stellar one is 10-20 pounds heavier and 1 inch shorter, but for some reason the first is called big and the other small...
If the Oilers find a way to move MPS, some D depth and another part not of the untouchables to get another high first round shot, then maybe you take it.. But that is only if you are sure the more projectable kids are off the table.

LT, how do you compare Rielly to Ryan Murphy from last year? Or compare them both to Ryan Ellis?
Seems like there are these young D men with tons of offensive skill, all set to be powerplay monsters, but with deficient own-zone skills.
Does Rielly project better than those others? I figured Murphy would go top-8 last year but fell due to lack of dimension.
The Oilers need a pp QB as much as anything else, and I wouldn't be disappointed to see Dithers make acquiring one a priority.
June 09 2012, 01:15PM
I really think CBJ takes Galchenyuk, it makes sense, the Blue Jackets already have 4 very good defensemen.
What they don't have is a first line center; I think if they do deal Nash it opens them up for a defenseman later.
Then I can see Murray falling past the Leafs. It opens up a lot of options for the Oilers and Tambellini.
LT, It might be too late to suggest a question but is there any indication that Dumba is concerned about whether a player of his size can play such a bruising style? I ask on the assumption guys like Pronman and Luedeke would be familiar with his interviews.
It's the one part of his game everyone mentions. Surely the kid has heard the whispers, does he care?
this article is spot on, keep the status que, draft who ure supposed to draft, dont go out of ure way to do some stupid trade #1- yak 2nd pick that laughton sounds perfect agitator that doesn`t back down, or if girgenson or gaunce are still there all big centres with skill. go after that shoultz kid, that would be perfect
Where would Hamilton fit against these d man?
I'm so happy that they took RNH last year so that they had a bona fide 1st line centre. When you have a first line like the Oilers do, the pressure is off your first overall pick if he's a forward (which it looks like he is going to be).
June 09 2012, 03:06PM
Disappointing, but glitches happen, LT.
Hopefully we can still listen to the podcast tomorrow?
June 09 2012, 03:13PM
Interesting tidbit, in case you didn't know, Rielly and Reinhart grew up playing together on the same minor hockey team in West Vanc. for years.
Well we'll have to grab it off the logger tape (that's my phrase, old timey like) and I'm not sure when it cycles through.
It might be delayed a day or so. Sorry, guys. Damn, I was very proud of this show.
Tells us it might be available in a few days, yet brags about how great the show was... thanks for that.
June 09 2012, 03:34PM
First off, ScarJo's shirt in first pick makes me happy. "Balloon Adventures" for "Beaverton Ministries" where do I buy tickets?
Second. I pray that Tambo just picks Yakupov (and he stays for a decade) and doesn't sell the farm for magic bean defensemen. If Magnus gets dealt it better be for a dman with at least 1 year NHL experience.
June 09 2012, 07:45PM
Bad copy and paste on my part.
Was wondering if I missed something. I assume you were referring to Rielly.
All we can really say at this point is that they would be nuts not to take Yakupov first and then focus on defenders. It will take a lot more than Omark and their second pick to get one of top defenders. Think Gagner or Paajarvi AND the pick at least to crack the top ten.

Innovative technologies
Successful health care delivery requires effective medical devices as tools for prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation. Despite the exponential growth of scientific and technological development, low- and middle-income countries are still largely excluded from access to appropriate and affordable health technologies.
WHO is pleased to announce the outcome of the call for innovative technologies that address global health concerns. Eight medical devices in the category of commercialized or able to be commercialized stage products and seven in the category of non-commercialized or able to be commercialized stage products were selected.
In the medical device programme the term ¨Innovative technologies¨ refers to novel medical device solutions developed to address health problems and improve quality of life. Of particular interest are technologies suitable for use in low- and middle income countries that have the ability to enhance the access to essential health products and services leading to improved health for the population most in need.
In order to facilitate equitable access to health care and the necessary core technologies, one of the goals of the WHO Department of Essential Health Technologies is to identify and promote innovative technologies addressing global health concerns and to stimulate their further development.
To contribute to the achievement of that goal the Department of Essential Health Technologies has launched a call for ¨Innovative Technologies that address global health concerns¨. The call aims at identifying and evaluating innovative medical devices, either commercialized or under development, which focus on global health concerns by being accessible, appropriate and affordable for use in low- and middle-income countries.

If candy melts are still very thick, stir in an additional 1/2 teaspoon of shortening until mixture is smooth; reheat if necessary.
Instead of decorating the pops with sprinkles or sugar, use candy pens for decorating. Dip cake balls into melted candy and allow them to dry completely before decorating. (Candy pens can be purchased at craft stores that sell cake decorating and candy making products.)

DUBAI – The Chevrolet Camaro SS has joined the Dubai Police fleet of vehicles – the first Camaro to be used by a police force in the Middle East.
Powered by a 6.2L V8 engine, the Camaro SS boasts a power output of 426 horsepower and a maximum torque of 567 Nm. With a top speed of 250 km/h and acceleration of 0-100 km/h in 4.7 seconds, the Camaro is the perfect addition to Dubai Police force.
Buti Saeed Al Ghandi, managing director of Al Ghandi Auto and John Stadwick, president and managing director of GM Middle East, handed the keys of the Camaro SS to Dubai Deputy Police Chief Major General Khamis Mattar Al Mazeina in a ceremony at police headquarters. In return Stadwick received a special engraved plaque from Dubai Police.
"The Camaro is highly regarded around the world. It is the ideal car for Dubai Police as we look to upgrade our vehicles to meet the Emirate's world renowned standards in safety and security," said Dubai Deputy Police Chief Major General Khamis Mattar Al Mazeina.
"We are delighted to be the first to respond to the Dubai Police's request for assistance in adding high performance patrol cars to their fleet. We felt that the Camaro would be the right vehicle for their needs," said Buti Saeed Al Ghandi, managing director of Al Ghandi Auto, which is General Motors' dedicated Chevrolet dealer partner in Dubai.
"We are confident that the Camaro's ability to respond rapidly, by virtue of its high performance V8 engine, coupled with its practical suitability for Dubai's roads and ease of servicing, will make it an ideal patrol car for years to come," he added.
The Chevrolet Camaro has been a huge success in the Middle East sports car market. It was named Best Muscle Car in four consecutive years from 2009 to 2012 by leading automotive publications. The Camaro ZL1 was awarded "Muscle Car of the Year 2012" by Evo Middle East magazine in February this year.
Founded in 1911 in Detroit, Chevrolet is now one of the world's largest automotive brands, doing business in more than 140 countries and selling more than 4.5 million cars and trucks a year. Chevrolet vehicles provide customers with spirited performance, expressive design, high quality and outstanding value for money. Chevrolet first ventured into the Middle East eight decades ago, and today is one of the most trusted automotive brands in the region.
The Chevrolet portfolio includes award-winning cars such as the Spark, Sonic, Cruze, Malibu, Camaro and Corvette; family crossovers, such as the Captiva and Traverse; and SUVs and pickups including the Tahoe and Silverado.

I was thinking of doing it landscape mode, do you have any experience with portrait to tell differences? Thanks!
Landscape gives a more wrap-around feel - you may not be able to see everything on your peripheral vision. It also minimizes the effect of the bezels, since they are only 1080 pixels long.
Portrait is closer to a traditional monitor ratio - someplace in between 16x10 and 16x9. But the bezels have a bigger impact, since they run along the long edge (1920 pixels).
Either way, it's the same number of pixels for a GPU to drive, so performance either way should be about the same. The main difference is in the impact of the bezels, and the peripheral view.
I use a triple monitor setup but I don't think I would be able to give you much advice on the affordability side of things, I decided to go with 3 Dell U2412m monitors for my setup.
For what it's worth though, I don't have any regrets and think it was money well spent.
It's a question of whether you want more vertical pixels or more horizontal pixels. People say that horizontal is what matters for first person shooters. For non-gaming uses--as well as quite a few games--you're usually limited by vertical pixels, not horizontal.
If you want portrait mode, then you have to stand monitors on their "side", which means that what would normally be vertical viewing angles becomes horizontal. TN monitors have poor vertical viewing angles, so they look horrible in portrait mode. If that's what you want to do, then you'll need something with good vertical viewing angles, such as e-IPS. There are a number of different types of IPS monitors, but most of them have poor refresh rates, making them unsuitable for gaming. e-IPS isn't too bad there.
If you want landscape mode, then you can buy whatever and it will work. If you get a monitor with a pivot, you could try both and see which you like. But if you're thinking of trying both, you'll need something that can do portrait mode well.
Yes viewing angles on IPS monitors are much better (also colors are normally more vivid) so using them in portrate mode isn't an issue... If you get TN monitors you might see some inverted colors in some areas of the monitors due to view angle. I also use 3 u2412m monitors for my setup.
As compared to TN, e-IPS tends to be a little more expensive, and have a little slower response time. It's the "cheap" type of IPS, but the best one for gaming. If you find an IPS monitor with a price that doesn't seem outrageous, it's probably e-IPS. For portrait mode, having better vertical viewing angles makes a huge difference, as you're going to look at the monitor from a substantial "vertical" angle (which becomes the horizontal angle in portrait mode). You to need a pivot stand option, as otherwise, you can't stand a monitor on its end. You also want thin top and bottom bezels.
For example, something like this would let you try either portrait or landscape and see what you like:
You might like portrait mode for one game and landscape for another, but if you tend to play one game for a while, then quit and switch to a different game after weeks or months, then it's pretty easy to reposition the monitors when you switch games.

I am usinf the Dell's also, not much for issues, other than, they are a 60 Hz monitor.
My dual GTX680's certainly help smoothing out the graphics, but I am shopping for 3 BenQ 120Hz 24's to replace these.
Keep in mind, there are not alot of monitors that can turn to portrait position (I am in portrait). The cost of separate monitor arms can be a real issue, so, "heads-up"
