QUOTE (Tony @ Mar 3, 2016 -> 09:39 PM) And in most cases, it's 100% fair to question those types of quick hooks from a front office. With 3 Cups in 6 years and the ability to reload on the fly like they have done, I have to give them the general benefit of the doubt. On top of it, as we all know Darling almost single-handedly saved the Hawks in the playoffs last season. I really liked Raanta, but after speaking to someone in the know about Raanta, it seemed like it was time to cut bait. Yet they very rarely pay for those quick hooks.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 3, 2016 -> 09:00 PM) And that third line lets you have the best 4th line in hockey that dominated in the playoffs last year. Just a stacked 12-man forward crew. And Kruger still on the way

QUOTE (soxfan18 @ Mar 3, 2016 -> 01:24 PM) You realize these games will be played on NHL rinks, not International size, right? International play is less physical because of the extra 15 feet on the sides. Doesn't matter. Think of this as closer to an all-star game than a Hawks Blues game.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 3, 2016 -> 11:54 AM) It's too bad the messenger doesn't exactly ring with fidelity for many voters, but he might for some of the swing voters which is who matters ultimately anyway. I don't see his speech doing much for the Trump faithful, who have decided that he's somehow "more honest" despite lying right in front of them on every topic. As long as Clinton isn't indicted (which I think is highly unlikely), she has smooth sailing ahead. The great thing for Trump followers is you can literally find any position you want in his speeches. You can hear anything you want in his speeches. If you only listen to his words, and not compare it to his life and record, you can even believe his lines. I will say this with 100% confidence. The one thing I know about Donald Trump is that he does not give a s*** about anyone other than Donald Trump. If someone is expecting him to even do a fraction of what he is saying, they might as well kick themselves in the nuts right now, and get it over with.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Mar 3, 2016 -> 11:43 AM) Assuming that international play is the same intensity as an NHL game, the odds of getting injured in any one game are roughly the same. So yes, there is absolutely an increase in likelihood of injury. The reality is, however, because the NHL is behind the World Cup of Hockey, it will likely stay, but Olympic hockey will likely end for NHL players. It isn't the same at NHL play though. The game is a TON less physical. There is little to no real hitting.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Mar 3, 2016 -> 11:45 AM) The Dodgers' SP Brett Anderson is out 3-5 months after back surgery. The Dodgers could need some SP depth & The White Sox need an OF. Potential match growing even stronger? The Dodgers have 78 starting pitchers. They don't need any of ours.

She is running against the ultimate con artist, which is saying something considering she is a part of the Clinton Machine.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Mar 3, 2016 -> 09:17 AM) Exactly. We all know he can field 2B so I'm wondering if the Sox will put Davidson at 1B/DH from time to time so that Sanchez can gain some experience playing 3B. I kind of doubt Sanchez has the arm for playing the left side of the infield but I could be wrong. Spring Training and AAA are the places to find that out.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Mar 3, 2016 -> 09:04 AM) Agree with you both. As long as Rollins, Saladino, Frazier and Lawrie are healthy, there's no playing time for Sanchez at the MLB level. The Sox can get Sanchez every day playing time down in Charlotte. Better to stash Sanchez there for the time being and fall back on him as the assert that he is instead of trading him and possibly needing to fall back on Leury Garcia. If a team wants to give + value for Sanchez in a trade that's fine but as of right now, Sanchez is probably more valuable to the Sox than he is to another team. A 23 year old switch hitter with + defense and range is an asset worth keeping. And I would rather have him playing every day in Charlotte, versus once a week in Chicago.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 2, 2016 -> 09:38 PM) Or the league's 2nd best goalie this season has been saving the defense's ass? Yeah, it wasn't that long ago that people thought Corey Crawford had the worst contract on the Blackhawks. He has just been unreal this year.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Mar 3, 2016 -> 08:36 AM) He's young enough to justify going back down and can still get every day at bats down there. He's fine going back. Also true. Sanchez has been on the radar forever, but he has always been one of the youngest players at each level he has played at.
