Dustin Penner: On the trade market again

It looks like once again Dustin Penner has fallen into disfavor. The 6'4" winger has played in just four of Los Angeles' 11 games this season, and his name is starting to crop up in trade rumours.
From Elliotte Friedman's always excellent "30 Thoughts" column on Monday, after asking which players might be available via trade:
Another player of interest is Dustin Penner. He's really in the doghouse with just three games played [note: Penner played Monday night]. If the Kings so desired, there would certainly be a market. He's on a one-year deal. Hard to pin down many more names. Some teams don't want to deal excess players because depth is critical. Very few teams are out of it, which prevents fire sales, and with the cap going down to $64.3 million US in 2013-14, you don't want to add a big salary if you can avoid it. Maybe things loosen up in the next week or so.
This is familiar territory for Penner, who was in this same position a year ago – a frequent healthy scratch, struggling to work his way back into his coach's good books. Darryl Sutter challenged him to "work his ass off" at the time and Penner responded well, becoming an important support player for the Kings in the playoffs, and ultimately winning a Stanley Cup with the team and earning a new contract – a one-year, $3.25 million deal.
Penner has responded with good humour, and says he's in a better situation now than he was a year ago:
It's fine. It's not something I'm seeking counseling about… I'm in a good place professionally, mentally and emotionally. It's a lot easier to take this now than it was last year.
Will somebody take a chance on him? Penner's generally a better player than he gets credit for even when he isn't scoring, he has size (listed at 6'4", 242lbs), he's on a short-term deal, but more important than all that is this: he's one of the very few guys who might be able to positively impact a team without requiring a massive return to land him.
Should the Oilers take a chance on him? I think the question is probably academic - I'm guessing that ship has long since sailed.
Recently by Jonathan Willis
For cheap I'd love to see Penner back. I was always a fan. I think he'd fit perfect on a line with 2 of the kids. I realize how polarizing he is, and it'll never happen with MacT around.
I was reminded of an article on Coppernblue after the Penner trade.... Here is an excerpt: ****
I'm not sure how Penner will be remembered in Edmonton. His career as an Oiler was brief, and had such a tumultuous beginning that it's likely his remarkable accomplishments will be overlooked in time. He wasn't just the microstats poster boy (though he did drive results every year he was here); he posted some excellent traditional numbers as well. Last season, Penner became only the second man in Oilers' history to lead the team in Goals, Assists, Points, and +/- in a single season (we all know who the other guy was). Beyond that, he cemented himself as a top-twenty wing in the NHL. In fact, only twenty wingers have scored more goals than Penner in the last four seasons and only eleven wingers have scored more goals than Penner in the last two seasons.
The Edmonton media had a field day piling blame on Penner. But it wasn't just the Edmonton media that took it to Penner; the entirety of the North American media did the same. Visiting broadcast crews referred to Penner as an underachiever, a label that would never see the light of day for any of the other top twenty wingers in the league. To the casual observer and the "HIT SOMEBODY" fan, Penner never looked like he was doing much. But whether he looked the part or not, the one thing Penner did consistently was drive the play.
Penner was also never afraid to defend a teammate, famously dropping Robin Regher after watching Ales Hemsky take a year's worth of shots from behind from the Flames dirty defenseman. He came to Ladislav Smid's aid by one-punching Landon Wilson. He came to Sam Gagner's defense after Jack Johnson boarded him, and he stepped in to fight Garnet Exelby after Exleby threw a horrendous cheap shot on Ales Hemsky. He was the first teammate in after Drew Doughty leveled Taylor Hall. If this team has had an enforcer in the last few seasons, that man has been Dustin Penner.
But he didn't just defend his teammates on the ice - he made all of them better. The Amicus Brief shows how much better both Horcoff and Hemsky were when Penner was out there, and nearly every WOWY analysis showed similar results for every player. His size, durability, skill, and talent combined with his style of play allowed him to fit into any situation. He dominated play down low and was capable of maintaining possession for an entire shift. He could storm off the boards to the front of the net and he could make a touch pass to the point. His hands were outstanding for a player of any size. He stood in front of the net on the power play and allowed Sheldon Souray and Kurtis Foster to fire head-high slapshots at him during an era when no other Oiler would venture near the slot, let alone the crease. He carried poor linemates and turned them into even hockey players through nothing else than sheer determination and overwhelming play. Throughout Craig MacTavish's very public attacks on Penner, Dustin never said a word to the press. He never showed up the coach or the team. He just kept playing, no matter what his role.
i'd say grab him for say Teubert, a 1st next year and a condional 2nd next--how did we get away with this?
STOP!, already with this recycling program. This guy isnt a fit for this team. He's an out of shape, overweight slug, and shows up only when he feels like it. He cannot skate and keep up and definitely won't back check.
Oilers put up with this enigma for three years. It didnt take Sutter long to figure out this fraud. He had one decent season [ point wise] only because he was a hanging around the net and guys were bouncing pucks off his shins. You could get the same results by putting a pine tree in from on the goal. [ oh, it was done']
Big body, seldom hits, seldom checks.seldom scores.,
This was Tabelini's best trade .. getting rid of this Slug.
Next top Winkler Beer League.
His size might be nice to add to the line up but his laziness would not.
If the Oilers didn't already have a history with Penner, i think he would be a guy they would be looking at. but because of the history he's had here, i doubt we'll see Penner in an Oilers Jersey ever again.
He is the body/skill type of player we are looking for though.
and we sold him for $100 and can now buy him for $10.
@ Todd
Unless there are better options out there, where else are we going to get a proven net front presence who also sticks up for teammates? Especially at a discount?
February 12 2013, 11:48AM
Uh huh.
And what did we buy him for in the first place?
Anyone who has even thought for a second about bringing back Penner needs to watch more hockey.
There are, in fact, 'hockey players' out there who have never played for the Oilers. Hard to fathom, I know. But it's true.
February 12 2013, 11:52AM
Good god.
let me see if I'm following.
A team that is three points BEHIND the Oilers - a team barely scraping by right now. Has a guy who they don't want to play - can't make it in the line up.
The Oilers should bring this guy in and put him on the second line.
This is some serious brilliance.
Willis this is your fault.
i've never had a problem with Penner, i always cheered for him in Edmonton and he seemed to be liked in the dressing room, just not by the media. he can't be a third or fourth line guy he is a skilled guy that needs to be in the top 6 but he may not have the speed for that anymore. 9 goals in the last 90 games since being traded is awful but i think he could still score 20+ goals in a season. that would be that left wing depth you'd need to move Hall to centre...maybe. but i'd pass unless he'd be coming for a bag of pucks.
I'm still not sure why we traded him in the first place. Salary dump maybe? I dunno.
February 12 2013, 08:34AM
Wouldnt hurt to offer Peckham. Kings need d depth. Penners on a one year so if he doesnt come back to form they arent stuck with him.
We got rid of "double stack" for a reason, let's move forward folks.
All due respect, Penner is not a center (who could help us in the faceoff circle) or a defenceman. Now, if we could pry one of those additional pieces out of LA without subtracting too much from the rest of the roster, then... maybe...
I personally don't think Penner can claw his way back up to being a top 6 guy on the Oilers. His work ethic and commitment aren't worth the second chance.The guy is living the dream playing in the NHL and can't motivate himself to be ready every/most nights?
February 12 2013, 09:17AM
Are we all forgetting the Smyth/Fraser/Brule fiasco? Isn't it possible that Lombardi doesn't want anything to do with Tambo? He seems like a guy who holds a grudge.
Pens played Ok last night. He may be working his way out of the doghouse.
He is not the type of guy that should be around a bunch of impressionable kids. His capacity for absolute indifference on the ice is toxic and Im guessing that Ralph would not be able to reform him. (brilliant man that Ralph is).
Pens dances to his own drum. He's a very bright kid that does just enough to get by and nothing more. Frustrating!
February 12 2013, 09:23AM
Well if we flip a 3rd to LA now for Penner then that deal works out to a 3rd rounder for Teubert, a 1st and a 2nd.
February 12 2013, 09:30AM
The Fraser trade turned out well for the Kings. Fraser scored a big goal in the Stanely cup game.
February 12 2013, 09:33AM
I'd trade for him in a second as long as we don't give up too much. We need more veterans and size. He is lazy though.
February 12 2013, 09:36AM
What a steal that would be. I have a feeling Lombardi won't give us Penner back just to not look like he got schooled.
"gritty, hate-to-lose, hardnosed guys who can actually play some"
Mr. Brownlee mentioned this in his previous article and these are the type of guys we need to add.I sure don't think Penner has enough or any of those qualities to justify another shot.
February 12 2013, 09:40AM
Lets see, a two time Stanley Cup champion, 6-4,225 lbs. I'd bring him back, if only to push Ryan Smyth. Have to think Smytty would retire than accept a fourth line role. Offer them Alex Plante and Theo Peckham.
3yrs at 2.5 per for a guy who could fill in your top six when needed. Good chance he could have his 3rd cup before that deal expired.
I prolly bet a lazy Penner is still better than an Eager on the 4th line.
dude scored effectively on a super crappy Oilers team. He doesn't muck and he doesn't grind in the corner but he is an immovable object in front of the net for the Powerplay.
Also, Mac T is not the coach so I like to see what Kreuger could do with his first player project. Not to mention Penner is a slow starter but decent performer in the final year of his contracts.
Theo Peckham or Ben Eager for Penner is prolly all you need to do.
February 12 2013, 10:09AM
@ Willis
That was the Oilers top line in '09-'10 when Hemsky was a ppg player through 22 games, and Penner finished the season 30/30.
That would now be our second line with Smyth AND Yakupov on the 3rd line.
I'd say that's a playoff-calibre group of forwards.
As for the defense...
February 12 2013, 10:16AM
If they can get him for cheap he would be worth a flier. He could play third line or second, depending on the situation.
But I wouldn't pay something material to get him.
Yeah why would anyone want a 6'4 perrenial 20 goal/40 pointguy with 2 cups under his belt? Anyone consider that he may flourish under Kruger and with some "offensive" players? I always liked him and would bring him back in a heartbeat at the right $ figure. His offensive production didn't trail off until he went to L.A. Here he was actually pretty consistent. I think people just need to re-evaluate their expectations of the guy. If we all just accept that he is a 20g/40pt player then he is a fit. If you continue to believe he is a 30g/50pt guy then you will continue to be disappointed.
February 12 2013, 10:51AM
Just a moment. Are you saying the oil will win it all in the next 3 years? Or are you saying if they re-acquire Penner they will win the cup in 3 years? Oh my my my.
I once met a gentleman who said the most outrageous things to see if anyone was paying attention, however pushing Smyth sounds good and retirement sounds even better.
I think that it is far more likely that a 3 year window sees Hall demand a trade and Schultz get an offer sheet from NYR. No cup comming our way I'm afraid.
edit: sorry, I'm talkin to you Quicksilver
February 12 2013, 10:51AM
i hear the isles / oil trade is off the rails now? I wonder what went wrong and who was asking too much for what?
February 12 2013, 10:57AM
What trade? Is this an Eklund thing?
February 12 2013, 10:58AM
For what it's worth, I'd pick up Penner if there is any chance of being in the playoffs. He does have 2 Cups (and not just 2 cups of sugar, flour, and buttermilk).
My Aunt Jemima is a big Penner fan, and she loved him in Oil Country.
February 12 2013, 11:08AM
I wouldn't give up Peckham just yet and I do think there maybe a place on the oilers for Penner. The real quesiton is who gets moved out for him. Think of this.
Hall, RNH, Eberle
Hemsky, Gags, Yakupov
Penner, Horcoff, Petrell
MPS, Lander/Belanger, Harti
That kind of bottom six setup looks like one 3rd line and a line that could be 2nd/3rd line depending on who you place where.
Dusty Penner will retire after signing a lucrative contract to be the face of IHOP.
The division among the citizens continues over Penner. And Gagne, Hemsky, Horcoff and now Smyth. It probably won't end. Some citizens fall in love with certain players and the love continues even when the player is in decline or no longer fits the roster's required balance.
In considering adding Penner to the roster, what hasn't been mentioned is continuing injuries in the truncated 48-game schedule. There will be more to come. And how many big bodies are on the present roster? Not enough.
Probably the main problem, which has been mentioned, is making a deal with Lombardi. Don't think Tambi has much cred among his GM peers.
OK we get it Zamboni. You hate Penner. I'm sure you did when he was here as well. Fine but you don't have to make it sound like your opinion is fact. Its not.
Don't you think we could use a bit of this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_3ZVo7tNCs OR THIS
OR this
Watch those clips and tell me who on the Oilers does this now... Maybe you despise Penner from the depth of you soul but he would give us something we desperately need. Fine if not him, someone. We need a huge body who can play with the skilled players (Eager can't) and is tough and ready to respond (Eager doesn't).
My favorite part about these 3 clips is how there is absolutely zero hesitation. Penner jumps all 3 guys. When was the last time we saw Eager or any Oiler jump a player in response to our of our kids getting smashed.
Given our soft as butter perimeter play and the kids getting pushed around I'd take a shot in the arm right now. If he could be got for dirt cheap with a few months on a contract, there is virtually zero risk.
February 12 2013, 12:05PM
Penner was atrocious outside of a few games. so lazy, so unmotivated, slow footed, didnt want to pay the price destroying in the slot with his monster body (aka neo-Tim Kerr), out of shape, goofball attitude that is funny for media but doesnt translate well to taking the game seriously on the ice.
he was beyond frustrating and its obvious that LAK is finding the same frustrations. he was damn lucky he had a decent playoff last season (17p in 65 regular season games) and then he goes straight back into being a burden.
having his size advantages, but the inability to dominate in areas with a laughable "man against boys" showing, is a failure on his part.
we already have numerous old players who cant keep up with the play well. don't need another.
ps - posting a couple youtube videos (above) is a terrible form of argument for "evidence". youre showing 1:10 game type events.
February 12 2013, 12:14PM
Could you please update what % of goals so far this season have been scored on the PP up to today? Also, how many GWGs were scored on the PP?
The officiating has been horrible this season.
Please and Thank You
February 12 2013, 12:15PM
@Death Metal. Provide evidence of this suckery you speak of? I realize he is polarizing because he looks slow, and maybe was lazy at times. Its hard to deny a few things. Here is more than 'a few youtube clips'
Last season, Penner became only the second man in Oilers' history to lead the team in Goals, Assists, Points, and +/- in a single season (we all know who the other guy was).
If you want to read a few pages and charts of advanced stats look here:
Those stats, much more than a few youtube clips conclude that: "The statistics used in the first three parts of this brief lead to one indisputable fact: the Edmonton Oilers are a stunningly better team when Dustin Penner steps onto the ice with the first line."
But the haters just talk about how he could have done more, was too slow and ate too many pancakes.
February 12 2013, 12:40PM
For the right price (a low one) yes. He could be our 13th forward and could be a very nice addition to our already potent powerplay. However, is Lombardi willing to swallow his pride and trade Penner back for something less? I'd say he could replace Petrell but I don't think he'd do a very good job on the PK, at least compared to Petrell
February 12 2013, 12:43PM
I actually think there's a pretty reasonable spot on the Oilers forward lines to try Penner - with Gagner and Hemsky on L2. The problem is that you can't put him there without bumping Yakupov.
If you have to bump Yakupov, then it is not worth it. All this 'Yakupov on the third line or fourth line' nonsense has to stop.
February 12 2013, 12:52PM
i hear the isles / oil trade is off the rails now? I wonder what went wrong and who was asking too much for what?
Stop reading Hockeybuzz -- it is a hockey rumour website that bases it's ideas on fiction. There was likely no Isles/Oil trade to begin with. I doubt the Islanders would part with Tavares, Strome, or Hamonic for spare parts. After all, Mike Milbury left years ago.
February 12 2013, 01:36PM
Teubert for Penner straight up.
Chalk it up to a depreciating asset.
February 12 2013, 01:54PM
If you have to bump Yakupov, then it is not worth it. All this 'Yakupov on the third line or fourth line' nonsense has to stop.
Yeah. Other teams would never play talented rookies in their 3rd lines.
For example STL. would never play Tarasenko on the...oh right.
Well for sure MIN would never do that to Granlund....dammit.
Well it's still a bad idea right?

Only a bad idea if your playing him with Smyth and Petrell but Petrell should be on the 4th line anyway. Horc, Smyth and Yak.... not too keen on that combo they way Smyth has been playing either. Horcoff, Yak and Harti now that sounds a bit better to me. Belanger, MPS, and Petrell thats not too bad of a line. No line seems phyically dominating but all have the ability to hurt you especially when you add Jones to that mix.
MPS Lander and Harti all look NHL ready. So look at it this way
Hall - Nuge - Eberle
Hemsky - Gags - Yakupov
MPS - Lander - Harti
Then you have Smyth, Belanger, Horcoff, Petrell, Eager, Hordi(sorta). With the exception of Petrell none of these guys really fit the 4th line.
Belanger and Horcoff have played well but there are just too many bottom 6 centers and no real physical presence in these forwards except maybe Harti to an extent. There still needs to be a lot of changes. Basically someone in the top six is going to have to be moved to add a physical presence that can play in there and then more phyical forwards in the bottom three.
I liked Penner once I got over the 'hitting' expectations. I think his play in the defensive zone was under appreciated and I've seen lots of big guys that apparently skate with no effort, or slow but but yet cover a lot of ice in a short period of time.
My vote is to grab him if you can get him at a reasonable price . . . plus it gives ON someone else to rag on besides Horcoff and Gagner.
February 12 2013, 02:41PM
My theory is that the reason the Oilers end up with so many shorter players is that they tend to look like they are skating harder because they have to really pump those little legs to get anywhere. Management, and apparently many Oiler fans alike, appreciate the appearance of effort more than actual results.
February 12 2013, 03:47PM
OK we get it Zamboni. You hate Penner. I'm sure you did when he was here as well. Fine but you don't have to make it sound like your opinion is fact. Its not.

I actually agree with every single thing you said, except for the idea that Dustin Penner (sitting in the press box again for the Kings) is that guy now.
I'm all for no more smurfs or lunkheads that can't play (Hordichuk, Macintyre, Laraque), but to paraphrase my ole pal Spec, "If Penner is the answer. It must be a pretty crappy question."

A Whole New Approach To Fish Oil
Fractionated, Isolated & High- Heat Purified?
The dull, yellow hue and watery texture of purified fish oil capsules is symbolic of highly processed products. This heavily distillation (which can be necessary to remove contaminants) can fractionate, isolate and sacrifice beneficial compounds that give fish oil its naturally vibrant color and clarity.

A Whole New Approach To Fish Oil
Fractionated, Isolated & High- Heat Purified?
Wholemega: The Difference is Clear
The extra-virgin process used to extract Wholemega, similar to that used in fine olive oil, delivers an oil that is striking in color and transparency. This gentle, food-grade process preserves numerous beneficial compounds-including Vitamin D3 and Astaxanthin. The brilliant hue in Wholemega comes from Astaxanthin-an antioxidant that is naturally found in Wild Salmon and in the extra-virgin fish oil.
Whole Food-Wholemega Whole Oil offers a whole-food alternative to fractionated, high processed and high-heat purified fish oils.
Extra-Virgin Process-Pressed in a proprietary process similar to fine olive oil, Wholemega preserves natural antioxidants and Vitamin D3 that can be removed in other fish oils during processing.
Fresh & Wildy Pure-Naturally pure Wholemega utilizes 100% Wild Alaskan Salmon- from fisheries cited as worldwide models of sustainability.
Three Servings of Salmon-Taking Wholmega every day for a week provides the same amount of whole Omega fatty acids as three servings of Wild Alaskan Salmon.
1 Week of Wholemega Delivers the Omegas of 3 Servings of Wild Alaskan Salmon
2 gram daily serving of Wholemega fish oil
Suggested Use: One softgel two times daily. For best results, take one softgel immediately before your two largest meals.
Other Ingredients: Fish oil (100% wild Alaskan salmon), Botanical Antioxidant Stability System (extracts of rosemary, organic oregano, and organic sunflower oil), and tocopherol (vitamin E).
Capsule: Gelatin, glycerin, and water. Naturally gluten free.

Way better than I expected
"I bought this shoe in the pewter/gray color for a wedding I am in that is outdoors on grass. I needed a wedge heel and something that came in a metallic color. I usually need a wide width shoe and was so happy when this shoe arrived and it fit. It's surprisingly comfortable. I was also surprised at how versatile the shoe is. I'm wearing it for a wedding but it can easily be worn for work or a night out on the town. Overall I highly recommend it!"

pretty close to what i was looking for
"i wanted a sporty flat shoe, but not sneakers, for a trip that required a lot of city walking, so i bought these and the puma winning diva. of the 2 styles, i wore these more on my trip. i thought the winning diva was cuter (not that these aren't cute), but these were far more comfy. i bought these in a size 6 and was initially worried that they would be floppy bc they seemed a little wide. that ended up being a good thing, with gel inserts they fit quite well (not sure if they will feel a little loose without the inserts). they were pretty much my go-to shoe for my trip (although after hours of walking, my feet ached even in these). the suede edging meant no rubbing/redness. i think without a gel insert they would still be very comfortable for everyday walking. i would definitely buy these in other colors."

"I took an extra pair of shoes to work when I wore these for the first time. I figured I would probably need to change shoes because new shoes always develop a spot that rubs for a few wearings. Not these! They were as comfortable as slippers, and I wore them all day. I got lots of compiments on them too!"

Ferron City met in their first meeting of the year.
Mayor JoAnn Behling called the meeting to order and noted that Council Members Joe Trenery, TrentJackson, McCall Fuller and Abby Jensen were present with Council Member Ronny Bloomer excused. Councilmember Jackson led the Pledge of Allegiance. The Mayor welcomed the new council members and members of the community. The Recorder, Adele Justice, then administered the Oath of Office to Jensen and Fuller and congratulated them. Mayor Behling also congratulated the new members of the council and asked that everyone join her in welcoming them. She then called for a brief recess to the meeting so that refreshments could be served and the new council could be congratulated by family members and others in attendance at the meeting.
Mayor Behling reviewed the following council assignments; Mayor Behling, city administrator, deputy treasurer, golf course, CVSSD board member, cemeteries, employee Christmas Party, economic development, Peach Day assignment- golf tournament.
Council Member Jensen: fire department, beautification, buildings - maintenance and repair, Peach Day assignment - dinner and breakfast.
Councilmember Trenery: deputy recorder, animal control, emergency preparedness, road department, Peach Day assignment- soapbox derby, field of flags.
Councilmember Fuller: water department (utilities, water sewer and garbage) public lands council, youth city council, Peach Day assignment -chairman.
Councilmember Jackson: recreation, Mayor's Park and development of new parks, appeal authority council representative, Peach Day assignment - fun day and parade.
Councilmember Bloomer: planning commission member, fair ground facilities, equipment - maintenance and repair, Peach Day assignment -fairground events, queen pageants.
Mayor Behling reported that the CIB priority list for 2012 had been sent in. Castle Dale City is asking for our support in building a new city hall. They are burdened by the high costs of heating the old building that they are currently in. If they are able to build a new building it would be shared with the Water Conservancy District. Cleveland is also asking for support in building a new city hall and community center however, the project would be about five years out. Mayor Behling informed the council that she was willing to pledge support of the new city halls and has asked the mayors if they will in turn support Ferron in building a new grandstand or obtaining bleachers for the fairground. She continued her report stating that the automated meters are in place in Clawson and in Emery and about 50 meters have been installed so far in Ferron. She then gave council copies of a map for a project on Canyon Road. Because of last years flooding, the bridge on Canyon Road will need to be replaced. They would also like to redesign the entrance onto Canyon Road from 800 West so that it is easier to access and safer. She stated that although the project may not be funded for a few years, she has signed a letter of support addressed to UDOT, that should help get the project underway. The cost of the projected is estimated at around $577,000.
Mayor Behling reported on the COG meeting. Together they reviewed the realignment of school district precincts. She informed the council on how the precincts were aligned and stated that there would not be changes now but that there may be changes in the future. She reminded the council that Jan. 25 is the local official's day at the legislature. Registration information is in the council mailbox. She told the council of the yearly calendar that Castle Dale gives to its citizens. The calendar is made up of old pictures of the city. She would like to see Ferron do something similar. In conclusion of her report, she noted that the other cities in the county only hold one meeting a month. She asked the council to think about changing the meeting schedule to once a month.
Councilmember Trenery reported that next week, he and Sid Swasey would be attending emergency preparedness training in Richfield. Mayor Behling then made a plea for the public to participate in local CERT training when it is available. Councilmember Trenery concluded his report by informing the council that most of the street lights have been fixed.
Councilmember Jackson reported that he had delivered all of the prizes from the scarecrow contest. He concluded his report by requesting the new council members to begin thinking about their Peach Days assignments.
Colleen Murdock introduced herself as the librarian of the Ferron Library. She has been asked to attend four council meetings per year. She thanked the city for including the library notices in the city newsletter and thanked the maintenance department for snow removal service. She mentioned other cities library events that had been supported by their local cities and invited the council to consider a partnership between the library and city for future events. The Mayor and council thanked Murdock for her service to the community.
The recorder reported that two business license applications had been approved and that the commission was reviewing the water share requirement in the annexation policy.
Councilmember Jackson moved to reappoint Adele Justice as the City Recorder and Tami Bennett as the City Treasurer. The motion passed.
Mayor Behling welcomed the American Legion Auxiliary. She explained the community covenant program, noting that the purpose of the covenant is to offer support to soldiers and their families. The Legion has been supportive of the soldiers in the past by preparing packages for them and sending them letters. The committee will help make the community aware of the program, of those who are serving and how the community can offer assistance and support. Mayor Behling asked the Auxiliary if they would like to participate by forming the committee. Jo Sansevero spoke on behalf of the Auxiliary and stated that they are very excited and would love to be involved. She stated that many soldiers will be coming home soon and will need to assimilate into the community again. They briefly discussed dates on which the signing could take place. Sansevero will take the position of chairperson and the mayor will appoint a member of the council to sit on the committee.
Mayor Behling asked the City Recorder, Adele Justice to read aloud the resolution she drafted for the Community Covenant Program.
The council approved the adoption and support of the Community Covenant Program.

Awesome, love these shoes
"I originally picked these up in-store in the black/pink because they matched a new TNF fleece I had just gotten and wasn't expecting much. But once I slipped them on, I was in love. These weigh absolutely nothing and feel like little cushy clouds. I suffer from plantar fasciitis and heel pain and these do not aggravate it, which is HUGE because every other shoes seems too...lol. I went to visit my parents in FL and brought these along with me... my mother went crazy for them and wants a pair of her own so we are heading to her local DSW soon to check out a pair for her. Fit is true to size and the width is pretty generous so these might not be ideal for those with really narrow feet. Try these, you will not be disappointed!"

Surgeon Testimonial
Virginia Weaver
I haven't met Dr. Weaver yet, but I have spoken with or met her staff. I have been impressed by their professional, courteous manner. They have patiently answered my questions and addressed my concerns. Phone calls have been answered promptly. I received guidance and assistance working through the steps to submit paperwork for insurance. I am currently waiting to hear back from Tricare Prime regarding approval for this procedure.rnrnI selected Dr. Weaver after hearing so many positive reports from former patients and other medical professionals. rnrnThe support program is very helpful if you're considering weight loss surgery. Many continue to attend monthly meetings who had surgery years ago; they confirm my decision to seek treatment with Dr. Weaver. You can call the office for meeting dates -- I was pleased to find out there's no charge and no pressure at these gatherings -- just respectful, informative, caring men and women. It was exciting to hear stories from people who have had this surgery, are continuing to work the weight loss and maintenance program, and are living healthier, richer lives.rnrn

Classic staple flat!
"I bought these shoes for work and at first they were uncomfortable because they gave me blisters in the back of my ankle but after wearing them a few times I now am in love with them. They are classic, look great with all sorts of different outfits, and are great quality. It really is rare to find great flats for this unbeatable price. Everyone has different feet so they might not fit some people but they are at least worth trying. I wish they came in more colors!!!"

TUESDAY'S VIDEO PICK | A Spill in Perspective
June 15, 2010 · Print This Article
If you have been following the ongoing drama that is the BP Spill "junk shot" & "top kill" are well know terms. As well as Kevin Costner and his little known investment of 15 years and over $20 Million to create in short a Britta Oil Filter Pump which BP just yesterday said they might try, over a month after first talks. Then there is President Obama recent statement about BP's chief executive Tony Hayward: "If he worked for me I'd sack him.".
Which has followed most recently in BP expressing concern that the British run company which was responsible for over 97% of the industries flagrant violations is now being targeted for attacks and anti-British sentiment. A statement echoed by British Prime Minister David Cameron who warned Obama not to undermine BP's economic value.
So in short it's a comedy of errors without equal in some time and now there is a sketch to put that aspect into perspective. Hey! it's either this British tragedy or a video about the other one no one wants to see anymore 🙂

Chelsea hit eight; Man Utd held
A review of Sunday's action in the Barclays Premier League, with Chelsea winning 8-0 and Manchester United held.
- Related Content
Chelsea will sit third in the Barclays Premier League at Christmas after smashing sorry Aston Villa for eight unanswered goals in a farcically one-sided encounter at Stamford Bridge.
- Premier League
Fernando Torres' power header got the ball rolling for Rafael Benitez's men inside three minutes before a stunning free-kick by David Luiz and a Branislav Ivanovic header had the points in the bag by the break.
Villa goalkeeper Brad Guzan did his best to limit the damage with a string of fine saves in the second half, but he could not keep out Frank Lampard's stinging long-range effort and then suffered the ignominy of Ramires slotting a fifth between his legs.
Oscar made it six from the spot in the 79th minute and there was still time for Eden Hazard to become the seventh different goalscorer when he lashed home, while Ramires made it eight at the death as Paul Lambert's men were brought back to earth with a bump following last week's win at Liverpool.
Lampard's goal, meanwhile, took him ahead of Bobby Tambling's record of 129 top-flight goals for Chelsea on his 500th Premier League start.
Manchester United missed the chance to extend their lead in the title race back to six points as Swansea striker Michu came out on top in the battle of the Barclays Premier League's top scorers in a 1-1 draw.
- Premier League
|Man Utd
|Man City
- last updated 23/12 17:52
Patrice Evra had given United the lead at the Liberty Stadium in the 16th minute as he headed home from a Robin van Persie corner.
But Swansea continued their good record against the top-flight big guns as Michu finished from close range to move clear of Van Persie with his 13th league goal of the season.
United hold a four-point lead over Manchester City at Christmas but will be left to rue a series of missed chances during the final half-hour when they piled the pressure on their hosts.

Some Thoughts Heading into Camp and another FN Photoshop contest
Kent Wilson
January 14 2013 10:36AM
With a few injury exceptions, the Flames players and hopefuls had their first skate yesterday. They'll be on the ice everyday this week and we will likely have at least one writer in attendance to report some observations. For now, here's a few things that are bouncing around my head.
Flames Hockey Stuff - Tough Guys, Rankings and Babchuk
- Feaster has been vocal recently about adding to the club's grit and toughness. I've been clear before that I think adding toughness for toughness sake in the NHL is kind of silly. Not that it's a detriment on the ice or anything. All things being equal tougher is usually better given the nature of the game.
However, coaches and GM's sometimes forget that "all things being equal" part when they start talking about adding some rough and tumble to the roster. It might be only the single dimension of a player's abilities list that hockey decision makers will make a move for at the exclusion of all else. For instance, no GM ever signs or trades for a player who is fast, but can't accomplish anything else on the ice. "We felt we needed to get faster. John Doe can't score, routinely gets outplayed by the opposition and takes a ton of penalties. But he's also really quick so we think that improves the club."
Nope. Only grinders and pugilists get that sort of pass.
As such, I'm hoping some combination of Tim Jackman and one of the camp invites (Steve Begin or Brad Winchester) scratches Feaster's itch. Preferably Winchester who has actually played in the league recently and wasn't altogether terrible in the ruffian role for the Sharks last year. He's not a guy who will slide up the depth chart in case of injuries, but he also won't get completely outclassed by just about anyone else like, say, Ivanans or Godard.
The alternative is the Flames go out and acquire a guy through trade. The last time they did that, Feaster moved a 5th round pick for Pierre-Luc Letour... etc. Now, a 5th round pick isn't worth a lot, but it isn't worth nothing. A below replacement player like P3L who could be signed from any AHL (or ECHL team) is worth, at best, nothing so that's a losing proposition.
As such, my fear is the organization pulls a Carolina this week and trades a bunch of stuff (Anthony Stewart and 2 mid-round picks) for a dude like Kevin Westgarth. I know Westgarth is educated and well-liked amongst the players thanks to his work during the CBA negotiations, but as an actual NHL hockey player, he's in the bottom percentile in the league. You don't need to move any assets for guys like that. Full stop.
So my position on this is: either get a tough guy who can actually play hockey (see: David Clarkson) or settle for any of the guys who will be freely available to fill the 4th line meany role. Do not needlessly expend assets - even middling assets - on a replacement level (or worse) player.
- Apparently Anton Babchuk is out for the next three weeks, which is okay with me. Although he could probably be a passable third pairing/PP guy on team that sheltered him effectively, I'd prefer to see the Flames other options utilized (Sarich, Brodie, Smith).
That said, it will be interesting to see how Hartley perceives the big guy. Sutter took an instant dislike to Babs immediately after he was signed for some reason, but it's entirely possible the new bench boss decides he can live with Babchuk's weaknesses as long as he can provide some offense form the point.
The other issue with the player is his contract can't be hidden in the new CBA environment. If he is sent down to the farm or "loaned" to Europe, the latest rules dictate a non-trivial portion of his deal will remain on the Flames cap*.
*aside - I would point you to the relevant section of the CBA here, but it's language is so confounding it would be waste of time for everyone who isn't a lawyer to look at it. Suffice to say, most of his contract would still count.
So Babs is here to stay, at least in cap hit if not in person. This is the last year on his contract and the Flames have no pressing cap issues, so it's really not a big deal either way.
- Power rankings are already beginning to pop up here and there. Pre-season lists like this are even more useless than the typical stuff because they are based on a near total lack of information since none of the teams have even played a game.
That said, they're at least a good barometer of how team's are being perceived. They also likely gain power when you combine disparate lists to form an average/consensus.
The first two rankings I've seen come from SI and TSN. The former has the Flames 24th in the league, behind clubs like Edmonton (3rd !!) and Minnesota (10th). Adrian Dater, the lists author, also has the Sharks 23rd so, uh, you know, take it all with a grain of salt.
TSN has the Flames 21st overall. Scott Cullen's list looks a lot more sensible on a first pass (although the Rangers as the second best team in the league makes me raise an eye-brow. I know they got Rick Nash and everything and Lundqvist is good, but that's a questionable call at best from my angle).
The NHLNumbers crew will be publishing our own power rankings sometime this week. It's more of consensus activity with a number of stats guys submitting and aggregating their league-wide rankings. Keep an eye out for that in the next few days (although don't hold out hope that the Flames will fare any better. That's what happens when you miss the post-season three years running).
Site Stuff - Contests and Gaudreau shirts!
- Over the extended off-season I ordered a retro-style Sven Baertschi custom Flames jersey:
I'd like to give this puppy away to an FN reader. So I think it's a perfect time to reincarnate the Young Guns photoshop contest which was derailed by the lockout, with the first and only prize being the jersey you see pictured above.
The subject is the Flames best young prospects - SVEN!, TJ Brodie, Johnny Gaudreau, Markus Granlund, etc. One of the above, all of the above, etc. Id' say for this one, let's avoid shops poking fun at perceived "failed picks" and instead focus on the who seem to have a bright future in the organization.
We'll give this one till the end of the month. Entries will appear here and the best ones will also be posted on FN's facebook page.
Send your entries to me - firstname.lastname@example.com. For those who sent entries for this one previously, you can choose to keep that as your entry or re-submit something else.
- Finally, there has been some interest in another round of Gaudreau shirts. We need at least 10 to make an order and I'm only accepting orders from Calgary addresses (or at least from people who can liaise with someone in Calgary) for the sake of simplicity this time around. If you have interest in Gaudreauby Baker shirt, leave a comment here and/or send me an email and I will see about getting another batch in.
January 14 2013, 11:40AM
Just heard that LAK have put Thomas Hickey on waivers. That could be a good pick up, at least for the Heat as TJ will be on the Flames this year and Ward will need to fill that puck moving D man role.
Any update on the Iginla injury?
January 14 2013, 12:08PM
Can I just reuse my previous entry? Thanks.
Speaking of P3L/PL3, that wonderful waste of at 5th rounder was just put on waivers by Ana, just goes to prove your point that players like that (or in this case HIM) can be had for free essentially.
Also, not so unlike wi last time, I think I'll have to learn to photo shop for this contest...
January 14 2013, 12:36PM
Usually when you pick a guy off waivers he has to be put on the parent squad (before you can send him down again). And when you do send him down, he'll be exposed to waivers (meaning someone else will likely pick him up).
Yea, I figured that was the case. I was hoping there might be some way around that for pre-season. So, I guess, LAK had recalled him for training camp?
January 14 2013, 12:51PM
11 Defensemen are invited to Flames camp. I've said it before, but I expect Babchuk will get the N. Hagman waiver treatment of 2011, so I see him out. His contract is in the way of better options (i.e. Smith, Brodie or Carson), for less money and cap space.
Someone please explain to me why in the world was Cory Sarich resigned (let alone for 2 years $2M and with a NTC!)? Last season he sat and watched, and only got in after the injury bug depleted the Flames defensive options. While, I think he was better in the 2nd half of the season last year, there are simply better and younger D'men waiting for a roster spot.
The Flames seem to have swung from large gritty forwards under Sutter, to small skilled guys under Feaster. Literally from one extreme to the other, what appears to be missing is balance. To many large gritty forwards didn't work, and I'm pretty sure to many small skilled forwards will not work either.
It's a 48 game play off race, likely with hard physical 'play off' style hockey.. if I was playing the Flames, I would leave Iggy alone (don't wake him up physically) and relentlessly finish my checks on everyone else. I'm just not convinced that Cammy, Tanquay, Cervenka, Hudler, Backlund, Stempniak, Comeau et al can hold up under a punishing 48 game schedule.
I don't think a single tough guy / gritty frwd is going to make any difference to this squad. We lack size and grit throughout the entire lineup... we are terribly small and weak at center,to many smaller wingers, and the d corp is suspect.
I realize that maybe its the 'custom' aspect of it, or even bought in an effort to boycott NHL products, but... that Baertschi looks all kinds of fake, Kent.

I'm not sure I agree with that assessment. Comeau is 6'/195lbs and plays bigger than he is, Cervenka is 5'11/200lbs and from what I've read can handle a hit, Stepniak, Tanguay and Backlund aren't huge but they're all in the 5'11-6'/200lb range. Besides we have Jones, Glencross, Jackman, Gio, Sarich, Iggy etc for grit. The skill Cammi and Hudler bring are what we've been lacking on the pp.
Now if you'd said we have a team full of 28-35 yr olds that are past their prime and are making big money based on their names, then I'd tend to agree.
Some GMs do trade for a guy that is speedy and offer limited other assets. Andrew Cogliano comes to mind. A generation ago some doofus traded Roman Hamrlik for "Steve Kelly and guest". I don't think that GM is working anymore. And that is pretty much exactly what Feaster did last year with whathisname.
As a side note, do you have a link to the CBA online? I keep waiting for Macramalla to post his link, but alas...
I'm in for a Gaudreauby shirt, I'm in Vancouver but have a address in Calgary.
Great article again Kent. I heartily agree that NHL GMs can reationalize picking up "gritty" players who don't do much else but I think both Begin (if healed up after major injury) or Winchester are decent 4th line options IF you need them and IF you can sign them to 2-way contracts so when not needed, they can go down to mentor young guys in the minors if needed. And for sure, if you can get a David Clarkson (not likely), then go for it...that guy is awesome!
I am in for a Gaudreaby shirt but I think I said so before. Can you get them in an "Ed Hardy" style so I can be cool like all the kids? LOL

Human remains found in a burnt-out mountain cabin in California have been confirmed as those of the alleged police-killer Christopher Dorner, officials said today.
Authorities in San Bernardino County used dental records to identify the remains of the 33-year-old former policeman.
A spokeswoman for the San Bernardino County sheriff-coroner did not provide a cause of death. Dorner is believed to have died amid fierce gunfire after Swat marksmen surrounded the cabin, which was set alight when police threw pyrotechnic teargas into it. It was not known if he died from gunfire or from the fire.

Falls/Germantown girls gymnastics
Fellow coaches at the North Shore/Greater Metro Conference meet honored retiring Indians coach Tracy Howard with flowers and a plaque, and then her team rewarded her again with a fourth-place, season-best score of 137.3 points.
"It was truly heart-warming," said Howard, who is retiring after 24 years on the job.
"Conference went well. We still have a few areas to clean up, but I feel confident for Saturday (WIAA sectionals). We had our highest score total so far this season. I know we have more to give, so hoping to peak on Saturday. ... I have five senior leaders and great underclassmen. I cannot wait!"
The WIAA sectional meet will be at Arrowhead on Saturday starting at 10:30 a.m. The top five finishers in all individual events, including all-around, and the top two teams will advance to the WIAA state meet in Wisconsin Rapids, March 1 and 2.
Homestead coach Mike Giles and others arranged for a plaque and some flowers for Howard at the conference meet, and Howard was quite touched. Homestead wound up winning the meet with 141.275 points.
Aerial Holt led the way for the Indians, taking a fourth in floor exercise (9.2) and a tie for fifth on vault (8.95). Emma Brose was fifth on balance beam (9.075).
Others who did well were Brigid Doyle, who was seventh on beam (8.9), and Paige Lemley, who was eighth on the uneven bars (8.625) and seventh on vault (8.9).
"I was proud of all my gymnasts," Howard said. "They all contributed in a tough field."
Hamilton/Falls boys swim
Junior John Seiler was eighth in the 100-yard butterfly to lead the Indians to a 26th-place finish in the WIAA State Division I meet in Madison on Saturday.
Seiler bettered his sectional time by six one-hundredths of a second in earning his spot, while West Bend's Matt McHugh won the race in 48.71. Seiler also was 11th in the 50 free in 21.9, a clocking that exactly matched his sectional time.
He also was on the 200 medley relay team that took 23rd in 1:43.71. That team included senior Brad Kruppe as well as juniors Matt Ciolkosz and Sam Piette.
The local co-op was involved in a three-way tie for its spot with 17 points, as Madison Memorial dominated the meet with 316 points.
The meet ended a sound season for the Indians.
Germantown/Falls Ice Bears hockey
The Ice Bears' season came to a quiet end with a 5-1 WIAA regional final loss to top sectional seed Fond du Lac on Feb. 14.
The Ice Bears, who had advanced to the regional final via forfeit over Brookfield (too many checking from behind penalties) fell behind 1-0 in the first period. They got their only goal in the second period from Joe Kandel (assist to Tyler Acheson), but the Cardinals scored three times in the period to take control of the game.
Sophomore goalkeeper Myles Crichton of Menomonee Falls did his best with 30 saves as the Ice Bears were outshot 35-25.
Germantown girls basketball
After beating Nicolet, 61-55, Friday to improve to 16-5 overall, the Warhawks learned they had earned the third seed in their half of the WIAA Division I Sheboygan South sectional.
They will host Waukesha South in a 7 p.m. regional semifinal March 1, and, if they advance, they will likely visit second-seeded Waukesha West in a regional final March 2.
The Warhawks, who also scorched West Bend East, 73-40, in a nonconference game Feb. 12, will close the regular season Feb. 21 at North Shore rival Homestead.
Against Nicolet (8-5, 11-9), the 9-4 in conference Warhawks had to work hard to hold off the testy Knights. They held a 9-point lead at the half (34-25), but Nicolet wouldn't go away as Germantown had to hold on for the win.
Courtney Mehring led the way with 14 points, as Paige Groth and Taylor Higginbotham came up with 8 apiece. Germantown hit eight 3-pointers in the game.
Against East, the Warhawks broke out to a 21-6 lead and never looked back, outscoring the Suns in every quarter. A total of 11 players scored, including Bridget Kelley with 20 points and Higginbotham with 13. Amy Flasch and Maggie Johnston had two 3-pointers each for the Warhawks, who entered the Homestead game with a five-game winning streak.
Menomonee Falls girls basketball
After beating West Allis Hale, 62-41, Feb. 12, the 12-9 Indians discovered they had earned the fifth seed in the WIAA Division 1 Sheboygan South sectional.
Falls will visit fourth-seeded Arrowhead on March 1 in a WIAA regional semifinal. If they win that game, they likely will advance to a regional final March 2 at archrival and sectional top seed Sussex Hamilton.
The Indians close out the regular season Feb. 21 at home against Brookfield East.
Falls went up 33-14 at the half against Hale and cruised to the victory as Mikayla Robertson had 18 points while Erin Crownover scored 13 and Hailey Precia had 8.
Menomonee Falls boys basketball
The Indians closed their regular season with a split, beating West Allis Hale, 74-62, Feb. 12 before falling to Brookfield East, 47-41, Feb. 14.
The split left the Indians at 5-9 in Greater Metro Conference play and 7-15 overall. They will travel to WIAA sectional second-seed Sussex Hamilton on Friday in a WIAA regional semifinal.
In the loss to East, Falls and East were tied going into the fourth quarter, but the Spartans outscored the Indians by six to pull out the victory as Juwan McCloud had 16 points and Brandon Ramey 10.
Versus Hale, Falls went up 37-23 at the half and then pulled away for the win as Ramey hit eight of eight free throws en route to 24 points while McCloud had 21 and Devon Nauer nine.
Falls hit 23 of 32 free throws on the night.

House Bill 1228 (PDF), introduced in the Maryland House of Delegates on February 10, 2006, would, if enacted, require the state board of education to "prohibit the teaching or the discussion of the theory of intelligent design" in science classes and prohibit it from "requiring the teaching or discussion of the theory of intelligent design in any class."

We love the photography blog Jak & Jil—it's a perfect example of how "street style" photography has evolved into something both more authentic (sans-posed photos and preconceived outfits), and more intense (the shots are full of models post-show with crazy hair, and many feature European fashion week go-ers who can afford some pretty epic attire). While trends like pastel hair and gem-covered shoes may come and go as you scroll through the pages, one thing keeps popping up over and over: great ways to style denim. All cameos by this dash of instant cool spark a host of ideas about layering, cuffing, distressing, and pairing. We recommend bookmarking.
