Select Committee link-up with LTTE talks
By Our Political Correspondent
The historic agreement between the ruling PA and UNP for a common approach in solving the ethnic conflict has been hailed by almost all political parties and other groups that seek a just and peaceful settlement. After several rounds of talks between the PA and the UNP through the mediation of Britain's Deputy Foreign Minister Liam Fox, the two leaders, President Chandrika Kumaratunga and Ranil Wickremesinghe, exchanged letters where they agreed to stand on a common platform to solve the minority Tamil problem.
Following the exchange of letters Mr. Wickremesinghe met his party's policy-making working committee and the parliamentary group to brief them on the agreement.
This was also discussed at the Parliamentary Select Committee on Constitutional reforms on Wednesday.
UNP's Tyronne Fernando fired the first question relating to the proceedings of the Select Committee in view of the agreement.
He asked whether it was not important to establish a link between the Select Committee and any possible talks with the LTTE in view of the consensus reached between the two major parties.
Mr. Fernando referring to the Select Committee process said, "This is not an academic exercise. When formulating the Republican Constitutions, we adopted the right process. But now the situation is different. We have a major terrorist problem. Our aim is to achieve peace."
He said he felt that the LTTE had to be a part of the negotiating process.
"Now with the agreement between the two major parties, there is the possibility of the LTTE coming into the process," he added.
Therefore Mr. Fernando said the Select Committee could not work in isolation.
UNP's A.C.S. Hameed at this stage said it was not still clear whether there would be talks with the LTTE. If there were talks, there should be a link with the Select Committee.
Committee Chairman G.L. Peiris said recent developments would not affect the ongoing Select Committee process.
Mr. Fernando raising another important point, asked Minister Peiris why he released the eighteen chapters of the draft constitution when there was no consensus to do so.
"It is very unfair, since there was no authority given by the Select Committee to do so," he said.
Dr. Peiris replying said that as the Chairman and member of the Select Committee he had a role to play. When he indicated on a previous occasion that he was going to release some of the chapters there was no objection by the Committee, he pointed out.
At this stage, Mr. Hameed said all parties had agreed that whatever decisions reached by the Committee would be referred to their respective parties for approval first.
Former Minister Ronnie de Mel also said it would have been okay if Dr. Peiris released those chapters with a note as to who agreed and who did not, making clear to the people that it was not unanimous.
Mr. de Mel was apparently referring to the difficulties that might crop up when the draft was put to the UNP's Working Committee.
the DUN (Lalith) Front representative in the Select Committee, Ravi Karunanayake, wanted to know whether the Select Committee process was a complementary or conflicting one in view of the PA-UNP agreement.
"Now there's a new development. There has been an agreement signed by the two parties which we appreciate very much. But now what role does the Select Committee play?" he asked
He said he was posing this question as the political package had been marketed as a process of trying to marginalise the LTTE.
"There is an understanding and an agreement between the government and the opposition to talk to the LTTE. What assistance does this process (Select Committee) provide?" Mr. Karunanayake queried.
He also asked whether it would serve any purpose to present the package in Parliament before the budget.
Mr. Karunanayake's view was that any final draft of the proposed constitutional reforms should be made after talks with the main parties to the conflict.
However Rauff Hakeem of the SLMC and Neelan Thiruchelvam of the TULF expressed the view that it was a complementary process and the Select Committee should continue.
Dr. Thiruchelvam qualified his view by saying that a link should be established between the Select Committee and any negotiations with the LTTE.
Mr. Karunanayake said most Tamil parties felt that the LTTE should be persuaded to get involved in a dialogue.
Thus it would be appropriate to review the role of the Select Committee.
Dr. Peiris then asked Mr. Karunanayake whether the Select Committee process should be suspended or not.
Mr. Karunanayake said if there were talks with the LTTE, the Select Committee should know the substance of matters discussed.
Thus the Select Committee process should continue though Dr. Peiris insists he has the right to table the draft constitution in Parliament before the budget.
Finally, the members of the Select Committee agreed that any talks between the government and the LTTE would cover not only Constitutional reforms, or devolution package, but also issues such as rehabilitation, movement of troops and supply of essential items to the LTTE-occupied areas.
However, they all agreed that there should be a proper link between possible talks and the Select Committee process.
Soon after this, Mr. de Mel called for the setting up of an independent Election Commission comprising three members with wide powers to conduct clean elections.
He also called for a permanent Police Commission and a caretaker government under the Chief Justice during election times.
It must be noted that the UNP did not show much interest in similar proposals when they were made by DUNLF leader Srimani Athulathmudali some years ago.
Dr. Peiris however agreed to discuss these and told the UNP to submit draft proposals.
The SLMC's Rauff Hakeem then raised another issue. He said the PA had pledged in its manifesto to introduce the German electoral system where elections are held under both the First-past-the-post and PR systems on a 50-50 basis.
Minister Peiris agreed to discuss that too when the Select Committee meets after a month's break.
During this period, minority parties such as the TULF and the SLMC are scheduled to meet the UNP leader to set out several issues regarding devolution.
The Select Committee is scheduled to meet again on May 15.
The PA-UNP agreement was also discussed at the UNP Working Committee and the Parliamentary Group which endorsed it with no objections.
Most UNP MPs seem to be supporting the agreement mainly because they are not particularly keen on any snap general election at this stage.
The UNP leadership has also announced three new appointments to the Working Committee.
Mr. Wickremesinghe said he was appointing three prominent Tamils to the Working Committee since the Tamil electorate was responding well to the new UNP policy.
But many analysts are wondering on what basis D. Swaminathan, Wimala Chandran and T. Kathiresan were appointed to the apex body.
Mr. Swaminathan was former governor of the Western Province for a short period.
The Hingurana Sugar Company of which he was the Chairman, has run into a financial mess. It was later acquired by the government because of bad management after being blacklisted by the People's Bank.
A case is pending against this company for non-payment of EPF contributions.
Many UNP insiders say Mr. Swaminathan is not popular even among the Tamils and they have reservations regarding his appointment.
Mr. Swaminathan is incidentally a close relation of Pathma Maharaja who was one time Additional Secretary to President Chandrika Kumaratunga.
The other appointee, Attorney Wimala Chandran, is married to a Sinhalese while the third, T. Kathiresan, also a lawyer, is a member of the Central Provincial Council.
Mr. Kathiresan had defected from the CWC and joined M.S. Sellasamy in 1993.
Thus he is a political opponent of CWC leader S. Thondaman, and his appointment to the Working Committee is obviously not likely to please the estate leader who got a beating at last month's local polls.
It might mean the UNP is taking a tougher line towards the CWC and any future electoral deal would have to be more on the UNP's terms.
But the Thondaman issue was not really a topic of discussion at the UNP's Working Committee meeting though some remarks were made by Susil Moonesinghe and Dr. Stanley Kalpage. They pointed out Mr. Thondaman was still in Parliament as a member of the UNP on the national list and he should be removed.
Though it was not a full review, the Working Committee also discussed certain issues relating to the local government elections when the party fared relatively poorly.
Former Minister John Amaratunga called for a condemnation of polls rigging while Uva Chief Minister Percy Samaraweera, wanted new election laws.
Mr. Wickremesinghe said the party should press its demand for an independent Election Commission. He said he had requested A.C.S. Hameed and constitutional expert K.N. Choksy to work out specific details of such a Commission.
It also appears that General Secretary Gamini Atukorale is being targeted as among those responsible for the UNP's major losses at the local polls.
Some speculation on this matter has been sparked off by the appointment of veteran Daham Wimalasena as Secretary Elections and Charitha Ratwatte as Co-ordinating Secretary.
One charge against Mr. Atukorale is that the party was beaten even in his electorate of Nivitigala and fared badly in the whole of Sabaragamuwa province, which had traditionally been with the UNP.
It is also clear that the leadership is getting ready to revamp and re-organise the party structure in the aftermath of the election defeat.
Meanwhile, the PA which scored a convincing victory found it difficult to come to a deal with its allies in selecting the heads of the councils.
In addition, a continuing battle between Minister A.H.M. Fowzie and M.H.M. Ashraff is making things more difficult for the PA.
Mr. Fowzie is known to have spoken against moves by the SLMC to get top positions in some local councils. He said the interest of SLFP Muslims should also be looked into.
Eventually, President Kumaratunga said a compromise needed to be found as she felt the SLMC has helped get a lot of Muslim votes for the PA. But Mr. Fowzie was not convinced, alleging that one SLMC member had even gone to the extent of stabbing an SLFP supporter in Gallinna, Kandy in the presence of a Cabinet Minister.
The President looked baffled for some time, while the Minister seemed to have mixed up the report.
Minister Fowzie got even more embarrassed when a senior Cabinet Minister also argued the same case for the SLMC.
Eventually the SLMC also had to compromise on its original position where it claimed top slots in three councils Matale Municipal Council and local bodies of Beruwela and Puttalam.
Earlier, the SLMC members had said at a politburo meeting that the SLMC members should quit all governmental posts if its demand was not met. They said, however, the party should continue to support the PA in parliament.
The SLMC politburo, finally agreed to one number 1 slot and three number number 2 slots in the councils after a meeting between Minister Ashraff and President Kumaratunga. The compromise formula was reached at this meeting.
At the SLFP Central Committee meeting the President also made it clear that she wouldn't allow any relative of a minister or MP to hold No. 1 or No. 2 slots in any local body.
Minister S.B. Dissanayake's brother, Deputy Minister D.P. Wickramesinghe's son and Minister Fowzie's son were thus made ineligible for any top posts in local bodies.
At the PA Executive Committee meeting later, the Communist Party asked that it be given No. 1 slot in the Matara Urban Council.
In the Matara district the Communist Party said it had secured a high number of preference votes in several councils but it was given very much less.
Some CP members feel Minister Mangala Samaraweera who led the Matara campaign for the PA had given too many places to SLFPers.
The bone of contention was the Matara Urban Council but Mr. Samaraweera was not prepared to give in.
Mr. Samaraweera said the appointing a CP man to head the Matara Urban Council would be seen as a direct insult to him. So the SLFPers were not prepared to concede Matara to the CP and accused Deputy Minister Chandrasena Gajadeera of organising protest campaigns to force the PA to give into the demand.
Mr. Samaraweera said Mr. Gajadeera should ensure that the law was not broken by protesters but the latter said, "What can I do, they did not listen to me."
The President stood firm saying Mr. Gajadeera should take the responsibility without giving excuses.
It is alleged that Minister Samaraweera had promised that whoever who got the highest peferences would be given the number one slot in the councils in the area under his purview.
But Mr. Samaraweera insists he never made such a promise which was contrary to general PA policy of taking not only the preference votes but also the ability of the candidate into consideration. However after a lengthy argument between the SLFP top rung and the CP represented by D.E.W. Gunasekara and Raja Collure, the PA agreed to concede Kamburupitiya to the CP.
During this argument Minister Indika Gunawardena of the CP kept quiet until the Sithavakapura issue came up.
Mr. Gunawardena was able to convince the PA hierarchy and the President agreed to allocate No. 1 slot of the Sitawakapura Pradeshiya Sabhawa to the CP. However she asked why they couldn't win the Sitawakapura Urban Council.
Mr. Gunawardena claimed he was kept away by the SLFP organisers in the area.
A disturbing factor at the PA Executive Committee meeting was that most SLFPers were not prepared to accommodate smaller parties and give them the due place in line with the number of preferences polled by their candidates, party sources said.
However, the SLMP, the old party of President Kumaratunga was given a better deal when she conceded three councils to it.
SLMC's Rauff Hakeem made an important observation saying, the SLFP had to be more magnanimous in accommodating smaller parties. The President responded by saying she thought all were on an equal basis.
Soon after that the SLMC presented its case and Minister Ashraff for over half an hour explained to the PA as to how they secured the Muslim vote which would have otherwise gone to the UNP.
The SLMC told the President of several media statements made by Minister Fowzie where he had described the SLMC as a communal party.
"This is unbecoming of a Cabinet Minister and it does not augur well for our relations," the SLMC leader said.
Ms. Kumaratunga assured she would study the statements in question and clarify matters.
She also said she was considering disciplinary action against Ananda Wasantha Nanayakkara who made some controversial statements after he polled the highest number of preferences in the Independent Group which was led by ex-Mayor K. Ganeshalingam.
With all those issues coming up, the PA meeting went on past midnight.
Now speculation is growing as to whether the government will go for a snap general election. It appears that there is a lively debate on the matter among Cabinet Ministers. Some have proposed an election within three months. This proposal was discussed at a gathering hosted by Minister Samaraweera recently. But there is evidently no unanimity and the matter remains there.

Q: Multiple instance of the same class? I have a class named "Category" to handle all the operations and data about my categories. Now, my class is created however I need to find a way to build an object for each of the categories in my database.
In a PHP OOP structure, how should I do this? I was thinking about maybe making some kind of CategoryCollection class which only purpose would be to create an array containing a Category object for each of my categories, however I am not quite sure this would be the best way to achieve this.

A: You can always create multiple instances of a class! This is what classes are designed for! Each object will hold its own individual inner variables (unless they are static, in which case they are shared).
If you wish to store them all into a variable, you can use any collection type (List, Collection, Array). PHP offers its own array type
If you wish to pass a list of categories to a function, or return a list of categories. Fill the array with objects and pass it along.

A: It sounds like you need two classes:

*

*Category, which stores data about a single category. This is likely to be a simple POJO, typically holding data from a single database row. There may be some behavoural mehthods, but often there are none.

*CategoryList, which contains a list of categories, or possibly extends somethig like ArrayList. Typically this will supply only behavoural methods like Category findCategoryByCode(String categoryCode)and List<Category> findIncomeCategories().

It seems like your existing class is trying to fill both functions - try splitting out the responsibilities. Apologies that my answer is Java oriented. I have never used objects in PHP, but the same basics should apply.

By now, CES 2016 is history, so naturally almost everyone is setting their gaze on MWC 2016 in February. But you know who isn't? HTC, that's who. That is, if rumors of its not so enthusiastic plans for its next flagship smartphone have any ring of truth. While its other rivals, like Samsung and LG, are always on the rumor mill, HTC's One M10, also called elsewhere as the "Perfume", is as elusive as a unicorn when it comes to MWC news. And that's probably because, according to sources, it will be waiting until after MWC to unveil it.
When it does, it will debut with two models, each with a different processor. One will have the usual Qualcomm, a Snapdragon 820 to be precise, for US and European markets. For China and Southeast Asia, a MediaTek variant will be deployed. HTC has put out different "spins" of a flagship model before, but this might be the first time it goes with a dual CPU strategy for the exact same model.
The smartphone will also launch with Android 6.0.1 out of the box as well as HTC's own Sense 8 user experience. The latter is something that has yet to seen, as the current public version of Sense is still at 7.
There is, of course, no rule that OEMs need to show off their wares at MWC, but it is definitely a once in a year opportunity to take advantage of media attention. Then again, you do run the risk of being overshadowed by bigger brands.
There might also be one other reason why HTC doesn't seem to have something ready even for leaks and rumors at this point in time. The company might be distracted from its smartphones by its Vive virtual reality headset, which is slated to launch in April. It is a big opportunity for HTC as well as a big risk, which may explain (but not excuse) why it's suddenly not so focused on the smartphone game.


LAURA INGRAHAM: In the "Unresolved Problem" segment tonight, a disturbing anti-American video surfaces on the Internet. Last month a Statue of Liberty replica was stolen from a coffee shop in Brooklyn, New York, and then this popped up on YouTube. The video maker sent the clip to the owner of the coffee shop and a local newspaper. Steve Emerson joins us now, the executive director of the Investigative Project on Terrorism. Steven, is this anything that we should be concerned about? I mean, it's -- it's just bizarre.
STEVE EMERSON: He's got his 15 seconds of fame, maybe his 8 seconds of fame. This is not an al Qaeda warning. If al Qaeda wanted to do something, they'd blow up the actual Statue of Liberty, OK? It reminds me of the anthrax letters who tried to mislead the people to believe it was from al Qaeda. It wasn't. Al Qaeda has got enough serious plots underway they don't need to do something like this.
INGRAHAM: Now, your group monitors activity on the Internet: communications, Web sites, and so forth. And you try to, you know, do a composite sketch of where the terror threat might be today.
EMERSON: Also in the United States.
INGRAHAM: And in the United States.
EMERSON: We do undercover reporting and informants. Use informants, as well, here.
INGRAHAM: What is the most disturbing thing you've seen lately about the terror trend?
EMERSON: The independent cells that are developing, like the Bronx plot three weeks ago to blow up two synagogues and shoot down a National Guard plane. The shooting of the National Guard recruiter in Arkansas. The number of jihadists in the United States is way higher, way, way higher than the Washington Post or the New York Times or any other politically-mainstream newspaper would ever admit. The FBI knows this, and they're having a very difficult time tracking them, but they know the problem is there. And the American public is being mislead.
INGRAHAM: And William Long, Private William Long, who was gunned down. That's how are talking about outside the recruiting station. He was killed by a convert to Islam; is that right?
EMERSON: Convert to Islam who went to Yemen and you the pretense of teaching English. And there are dozens of those black American converts who go to Yemen, get taught in the madrassas how to carry out jihad and come back here. They are ticking time bombs.
INGRAHAM: ... for traveling on a passport he wasn't supposed to be traveling on. Then he came back here. They opened up a general investigation, I guess, the FBI. But then nothing came of it, and he was casing out the recruiting area.
EMERSON: Listen, just over the weekend there was a radical Islamic conference held here in Washington. The guy calls for a jihad. He's the former head of prison, Islamic prison system in New York state. And he had supported al Qaeda.
This is a guy that has influence over tens of thousands of inmates.
INGRAHAM: This -- this prison stuff, the lid has to be blown off this. I know you're doing a lot of work on this. I want to have you on my radio show. We'll go into it in greater detail. But thanks for the heads up on all this. Steve, as always, it's good to see you.

Malware Drains Your Computer's Resources Without Your Knowledge
Posted by finalfrontiers On January 25, 2019
Cryptominers are among the most common type of malware in the wild today, based on the latest research by digital security company Check Point. While there are dozens of variants deployed by hackers, the cryptojacker "Coinhive" is the malware of choice this year. Once installed on a computer, it works in the background siphoning off your computing power to mine Monero any time your computer is on and sending the gains to the hackers.
The second most popular is a piece of malware called Jsecoin, which is a JavaScript-based miner that can be embedded into websites and runs in a target's browser. Then there's Cryptoloot, which is a Coinhive competitor and works in much the same way.
Although cryptojacking software dominates the top-ten list, they're not the only types of malware on it, and this year's list features two venerable contenders: Emotet and Ramnit, both of which are banking Trojans that have been in circulation for a long time.
While all of these threats are bad, the one that's getting a lot of attention from security professionals is a relative newcomer to the rankings called Smoke Loader. Interestingly, Smoke Loader isn't dangerous by itself, but then again, that's not its real goal. It's a gateway malware. A Trojan whose express purpose is to infiltrate a system and then download additional malware.
The specifics are entirely open-ended. If a hacker using Smoke Loader to infiltrate a system wants to follow that attack up with a cryptojacker, he can do that. If he'd prefer to launch a ransomware attack, he can do that too. The sky is basically the limit.
In any case, the Check Point top-ten list is well worth a closer look, if for no other reason than to be sure your IT staff is up on all the latest threats.

When kids are little they worship you. I often find myself telling Hubs that 3 months to 12 months was my favorite time. From the first smile to their first steps (and beyond) your babies world revolved around you. This sounds awesome and most of the time it is. I love getting my girls from the nursery at church. Honestly you never feel more loved then when a tiny human beams, smiles, screams, and bounds with joy all because he or she saw you. You are the giver of healing kisses; the best singer in the world; the smartest, prettiest, most perfect person in their little baby world.
This is also a frustrating stage. You are literally the end all be all to everything they are. They don't know anything outside of you which means when they have a problem you are the answer. You don't get to take a break from your teething 4 month old. Lets not even talk about when they have a cold!
But it's also a time when you get to experience what unrelenting unconditional love feels like from another human being. Babies forgive you for everything because they love you more than your mistakes. They love you more than your decision, more than your anger, more than your frustration when your sleep deprivation. Kids love you with everything they have which is abundant more then you'd think. They have eyes that can pierce your soul. They have a cry that will shatter your heart and a giggle that will put it back together.
Tiny is in the thralls of Mommy Worship. This means when I am in the room she is touching me. If she hears my voice, she comes to find me and then touches me. If I put her down she cries. If someone else picks her up she cries. I am the only solution to her unknown problem (me and a bottle). It is a constant battle for me. Do I pick her up when she is crying? Do I let her cry and hope she figures it out? The problem with being a Mommy is you are human. My girls might think I am perfect but I am not. I don't always get it right. This annoying humanity also means I don't have all the answers.
Sometimes I just need to be reminded that I am doing alright. Having a baby need you all day is amazingly exhausting but also time consuming; but right now this is my full time job. More over this is my calling from God for this time in my life. I was humbled by a mom friend this past week by how she responded to her infant son crying. She calmly took him from the nursery worker saying "I know baby, Mommy makes it all better." Its that the truth! While I wanted to walk back out of the room and avoid my crying baby this mommy friend masterfully embraced her role as Sun to her babies Earth.
I am only going to be Tiny's world for a few more years. Soon her sense of independence will kick in and I will be a point of conflict more than comfort. Soon she will join Destrcuto in terrible twos, threes, and fours. Eventually we could bring in another baby (but not soon…oh not soon)!
All of this to say I don't hold to any "parenting style" but I am learning my role and a Mommy means more of them and far, far less of me; because honestly they are only this little once.

Q: How to get the_post_thumbnail caption? I want to show the caption of the post thumbnail, there's a couple of methods out there, but none of them displays the caption properly, the caption just float and not displayed under the image! I want to wrap the image in wp-caption div, like any other images with caption.
Here is the function I've tried

function monahans_thumbnail_caption($html, $post_id, $post_thumbnail_id, $size, $attr)
{
  $attachment =& get_post($post_thumbnail_id);

  // post_title => image title
  // post_excerpt => image caption
  // post_content => image description

  if ($attachment->post_excerpt || $attachment->post_content) {
    $html .= '';
    if ($attachment->post_excerpt) {
      $html .= ''.$attachment->post_excerpt.' ';
    }
    $html .= $attachment->post_content.'';
  }

  return $html;
}

add_action('post_thumbnail_html', 'monahans_thumbnail_caption', null, 5);

As I said, the caption doesn't show properly at all:

I want a function to wrap the image inside wp-caption div, and wrap the caption text inside wp-caption-text

A: Use the shortcode handler img_caption_shortcode to render the HTML for you, though you do need to pass it a width (which we can easily get with wp_get_attachement_image_src:
function wpse_138126_thumbnail_caption( $html, $post_id, $post_thumbnail_id, $size, $attr ) {
    if ( $post = get_post( $post_thumbnail_id ) ) {
        if ( $size = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $post->ID, $size ) )
            $width = $size[1];
        else
            $width = 0;

        $html = img_caption_shortcode(
            array(
                'caption' => trim( "$post->post_excerpt $post->post_content" ),
                'align'   => 'alignright',
                'width'   => $width,
            ),
            $html
        );
    }

    return $html;
}

add_filter( 'post_thumbnail_html', 'wpse_138126_thumbnail_caption', 10, 5 );

Nazis and Fascists fill out the Moral Foundations of In Group Loyalty, Authority/Dominance and Sanctity (the Nation is sacralised) and have no sense of either of the Freedoms or either notion of Fairness, and famously light on avoiding Care/Harm.
The Far left Communist and Trotskyists famously valourize Fairness and redistribution. Libertarians demand Freedom as a moral claim and have little bit of reverse dominance in their soul. The oddity of Communitarianism is explicable in Haidtian terms and then we have the Anarchists, a special subset of the left – moral purpose is the resistance of Authority.

Jets Nation Podcast: Free Agent Frenzy
JetsNation by Kb	- 1d ago
The opening of NHL free agency is in the rear view mirror but the Winnipeg Jets still have four key restricted free agents to sign (Patrik Laine, Kyle Connor, Andrew Copp, Neal Pionk). The Jets let Tyler Myers, Brandon Tanev and Ben Chiarot all walk to other teams for more money. The only additions have been depth pieces at best. On this week's episode the guys break down the frenzy that was July 1st, react to the Jets' signings, and look at trade potential moving forward.

Jets Sign First Rounder Heinola
The Winnipeg Jets just announced the signing of their recent first round selection to a three year entry level contract. Ville Heinola was selected 20th overall by the club just a few weeks ago at the 2019 NHL Entry Draft.
#NHLJets have agreed to terms with defenceman Ville Heinola on a three-year, entry-level contract with an average annual value of $1,137,500.
Heinola was selected by the Jets in the first round (20th overall) in the 2019 NHL Draft.
DETAILS https://t.co/wVmf5EA8c9 pic.twitter.com/RJ2rv3mvGL
— Winnipeg Jets (@NHLJets) July 15, 2019
It was a surprising move by the club as most people expected Heinola to stay in Finland for another season where he could build on his success from last season. Although, just because Heinola is signed, doesn't mean he's going to be sticking around in North America. In a similar situation last season Kristian Vesalainen decided to move back home and play the rest of the season in the KHL despite being signed to an entry level deal.
Despite being a late round pick, Heinola already has plenty of experience playing against adults. One of the benefits of playing in Europe is being able to jump up to the pro level if needed. Heinola did that last year as a 17 year old and had a remarkable season for an underage player. He had 14 points in only 34 games and finished with the second most points per game among all Liiga defensemen who were under 20 years old.
This strong season in Finland suggests that Heinola might be ready to play in North America as early as next year. He would certainly be able to help the Manitoba Moose roster, and if given a chance, he might be a dark horse candidate to make the Jets roster out of training camp.
Regardless of where Heinola ends up this season, the fact that he signed an entry level contract means that the Jets have fairly high expectations of him going forward. Even if he doesn't play in North America, signing him is the first step towards getting him on the roster.
It's important to note that his ELC will slide if he doesn't play 10 NHL games this year. For now, it doesn't look like he will play for the Jets, so his three year deal will likely only begin in 2020.
For more reading, check out our draft day post on Heinola's selection.

Dear Buffalo (And Everyone Else): Ehlers For Ristolainen Isn't Happening (At Least It Shouldn't)
JetsNation by Art Middleton	- 3d ago
Dear Buffalo, Buffalo Sabres fans and hockey fans as well as media in general,
re: Trading Nik Ehlers for Rasmus Ristolainen
In a word? No.
As of late, I've seen far too many tweets like this fill my Twitter timeline:
#NHL Trade speculation by Chad DeDominicis#NHLJets get
RD Rasmus Ristolainen#Sabres get
LW Nikolaj Ehlers
Yves's take
Ehlers could fetch better but Jets' defense is depleted. Consider it.
Sabres have plenty of RD. Ehlers is talented & with $6M x6y terms. Do it.
— yves fredette (@fredette) July 13, 2019
You darn skippy Ehlers "could fetch better" which is exactly why the Jets shouldn't do this deal.
I understand that the right side of the Jets defense doesn't look ideal right now. It's Dustin Byfuglien, Sami Niku and Neal Pionk, and it's a Buff long term injury away from being bad with Luke Green the only other right handed shot d-man in the team's system that could maybe play in the NHL. It doesn't look great, but it also doesn't exactly scream "trade the 23 year old forward with 199 points in 298 career games for a defenseman considered by many to be disappointing and not living up to full potential" does it?
Kevin Cheveldayoff is not that much of an idiot.
(Man, I hope I didn't just jinx anything there. I mean even his harshest critics have to agree with that statement don't they? Chevy has made questionable, even bad moves as all NHL General managers do, but he's not THAT bad, is he?)
Look, I'm not saying that the Jets shouldn't trade for Rasmus Ristolainen at all. The Jets depth is admittedly shallow when it comes to right handed defensemen so getting one with some NHL experience isn't exactly a bad idea. I'd be ok with the Jets taking a chance on him much like they are doing with Neal Pionk, but therein lies the issue… They already just traded for a young RHD that has a lot of question marks coming into this season, who hasn't exactly impressed in his first few NHL seasons and may not be any good at all. Do the Jets really need a second young RHD with the same issues?
Maybe with the right partner and less usage than he had in Buffalo, he wouldn't be as bad as he has been with the Sabres. There is an argument to be made – as it is with Pionk – that he's still young enough that he could improve, but if you're of the mindset that at age 23, what you see with Pionk now is what you get in the future, then Rasmus at 24 should be that even moreso.
If you are of the opinion that at age 23 and 24, Pionk and Ristolainen could and should be better, then Ehlers at the age of 23 is a slam dunk to get better himself and thus a bad idea to trade away, is he not?
If you want to trade for a good, young right handed defenseman with upside, Julius Honka is right. there.
(And no, the Jets shouldn't trade Nik Ehlers for him either.)
I'm not even saying the Jets shouldn't trade Nik Ehlers! I'd strongly advise against it because it doesn't seem like a trade the Jets could get fair or equal value for (as others have stated in a complete argument to NOT trade him at all) but I am not 100% against it either depending on the return. Want to offer a bona fide top pairing defenseman for him? I'm all ears.
Wayne Gretzky – arguably the greatest to ever play the game and the all-time leader in goals, assists and points – was traded in his career, TWICE. So anyone can and should be available for trade.
The issue is what kind of value are you going to get in return for trading your dynamic 23 year old winger? It just doesn't seem like right now the value for Ehlers is that high likely based on the crazy notion that a small sample size of 21 career playoff games where he hasn't scored a single goal is an indication that he's somehow not that good, so you're not going to get a fair return for him.
Sure, trade for Risolainen if you must, trade away Ehlers is you absolutely have to, but Ehlers straight up for Ristolainen? Why on earth would you do that?
I would suggest wpg will be banging on the door to get Ristolainen for maybe Ehlers in a swap of cap hits… https://t.co/SHuhBn3EQr
— Jim Matheson (@NHLbyMatty) July 1, 2019
I would suggest Jim has finally lost his mind (possible since he's had to cover the Edmonton Oilers) if he thinks Winnipeg would be "banging down the door" to get basically what amounts to the second coming of Tyler Myers, only with less offensive ability at five on five.
For as much talk as Ristolainen gets about being a power play specialist, it's probably important to remember that the majority of a hockey game is played five on five and it's there that Ristolainen isn't overly impressive.
His defensive work? Not any better.
Look at all that red in the slot area in front of the team's net – and yes it's maybe even worse without Ristolainen but keep in mind that this is the Buffalo Sabres we're taking about and as an entire team they were pretty bad defenseively. The point here is Rasmus was right there with the club in being very bad in his own end of the ice.
At best you can say that Rasmus Ristolainen is mediocre and that at times may be generous. What baffles me in this talk that the Jets should trade for him is that the Sabres have smartly traded for Brandon Montour and then this summer picked up Colin Miller and Henri Jokiharju (all three of them right handed defensemen by the way) and now suddenly Ristolainen is "expendable" by the freakin Buffalo Sabres who haven't seen the playoffs in eight seasons, and yet the Jets who are still considered "in the hunt" when it comes to Stanley Cup talk should just offer up a kid who has 90 goals in his first three NHL seasons for Sabres leftovers.
If that last paragraph has an agitated tone to it, it should because I'm seriously wondering if many of you have lost your ever-loving minds. I just don't get it. Is it because Rasmus is from Finland and he'd fit in with that whole "Finnipeg" thing we're trying to make a thing? Is it because he's from Buffalo and because the Jets and Sabres did one high profile trade five years ago, that somehow makes them trade-buddies for life? Is it because he has "Laine" in his last name? Is it because he damn near looks like Tyler Myers and is as tall as him?
Seriously, are these guys brothers?
How long til we see Ristolainen for Ehlers?
— Derek (@dfisch91) July 9, 2019
You won't. At least, you shouldn't. None of us should see that.
And stop it with these tweets. You're only going to keep giving Kevin Cheveldayoff bad ideas.
Let's Talk About Don Cherry For A Moment…
Don Cherry is a Canadian institution. Your own personal opinion of him not withstanding, this much can not be denied. For over 35 years he's been a fixture on CBC's and now Sportsnet's hockey broadcasts. There was speculation recently from the Toronto Sun's Steve Simmons, that Cherry could be shown the door – speculation that was since shot down by the man himself – but it's worth talking about his spot in the history of hockey culture and just maybe if his historic run on TV should or shouldn't be done.
Of all the names we heard that were going to be cut at @sportsnet HNIC, Donald S. Cherry was #1. Numerous sources told us that Grapes knew himself last year was his worst ever & with the need to cut costs Paramount we were told he had done his last game. #more pic.twitter.com/TGJTToGt4d
— jonah (@yyzsportsmedia) July 7, 2019
1) I must say I am hurt and disappointed that my friend Steve Simmons would suggest in his Sunday column that Hockey Night in Canada might not want me back for next year. I was told a week after the playoffs I would be back.
— Don Cherry (@CoachsCornerDC) July 8, 2019
The Wrath Of Grapes
Don Cherry is not just a throwback to a bygone era, he's a reflection of our past hockey selves. He coached and started broadcasting at a time when the terms "trolley tracks" and "keep your head up" were common place over terms like "targeting the head", while "having your bell rung" was what we all referred to concussions as back in the 1900's. He is from an era where the Russians were the great enemy and 97% of players in the NHL were from Canada. His ultra-nationalistic bordering on jingoistic views towards anything non-English speaking – including his views of Franco-Canadians – were molded by hostilities in the 70's and 80's.
While the rest of us moved on, adjusted and grew out of those tropes, Grapes never really has and it has been somewhat by design.
Even in the 80's as he begin his TV career, people turned in for the Saturday night hockey, but made sure to stick around during the first intermission – better known as that time where a bulk of advertising is done during the game – to catch seven minutes of the former NHL coach losing his shit over the game, promoting the rock'em sock'em nature of the sport that he ended up turning into a video franchise that spanned 25 some odd yearly videos and DVDs, and most of all sprinkling his appearances with ludicrous statements that would rile up if not outright anger people.
Not that his appearances are or were always negative which also made him must-watch most weekends. He would point out the ridiculousness of plastic being used on shoulder and elbow pads which only added to the dangers of hitting, he was in favor of no-touch icing in order to protect players wiping out against the end boards (or at the very least a variant of it) long before the NHL got wise to it, he's championed the efforts of Canadian troops and first responders, and while his viewpoints may have been off base at times, no one can deny Cherry is and has always been a proud Canadian in a nation not known for it's bragging of one's nationalism – which at least worthy of a little appriciation.
He's also been a known supporter of the NHL's return to Winnipeg and the Bruce Oake Recovery center.

HNIC - Coach's Corner - June 1st 2011 (HD) - YouTube
When he took his antics a step too far at times saying the absolute wrong thing, he never seemed to be properly punished or removed from the medium outright. If anything, people just sighed, shrugged their shoulders, said a prayer for his co-host Ron MacLean – who in hindsight was the one tasked with trying to reel in Cherry from going too far and provide some sanity to his segments, but was just as much a willing part of the show more than he was innocent bystander – and then tune in to Coaches Corner the next week to see what outrageous thing Don Cherry would say next.
That formula has worked out well for him even if there has been a switch from us laughing along with him to us laughing at him. As long as we kept tuning in and our eyes kept watching from the final horn of the first period through the Budweiser advertisements and then into Coaches Corner, there has been this feeling that it didn't matter how silly he came across as long as people watched and advertising dollars rolled in.
But there has also been a growing sentiment among hockey fans that Cherry's act is well past it's overdue date and even as a car wreck, he isn't worth watching anymore. His rant this past season about the Carolina Hurricanes provided a rallying cry for the team and possibly displayed how out of touch he is with today's attitudes towards showman ship and celebrating the game, but it also brought an unprecedented amount of Canadians distancing themselves from Cherry's "man of the Canadian hockey people" act and siding with the "Bunch Of Jerks" which was maybe most telling on how people see Don Cherry and in a way Rogers broadcasting of the NHL.
So one can't blame Rogers – who pays Cherry very handsomely for his gimmick – from thinking twice about bringing him back.
In the end, it will likely be about if they feel their investment in Cherry matches the money they bring in from advertising and nothing else. For all the complaining that a lot of people do about Cherry, his views and comments, if it still attracts eyes to that sponsored seven minute segment, then there is no reason for Sportsnet to ask Cherry to leave.
BREAKING- Just talked to Grapes @CoachsCornerDC on the @simmonssteve mention Rogers thinking of moving on from Coach's Corner. He says there is "no credence" to it. "I am not leaving." In fact "I got a call on a Sunday from Bart Yabsley who took over from Scott Moore saying that
— Joe Warmington (@joe_warmington) July 7, 2019
If Rogers does decide that Cherry has made his last TV appearance, or that this upcoming season will be his last one where they give him the Bob Cole treatment / retirement tour, it should be celebrated. Celebrated in that he's had a long, successful career in hockey and will be a lasting touchstone on Canadian and hockey culture, and celebrated in that we are finally moving on from something that was likely past it's time 15 years ago.

WWYDW (On A Thursday): The 2019-20 Winnipeg Jets On Defense
JetsNation by Art Middleton	- 1w ago
Jacob Trouba, Ben Chiarot, Tyler Myers. Regardless of what you think about those three players, they each played over 75 games each for the Winnipeg Jets this past season and their departures mean half of the everyday lineup the Jets iced last season is now gone. In their place, the Jets will likely look to Neal Pionk – the defenseman the Jets got back in exchange for Trouba – and hope that the likes of Sami Niku, Tucker Poolman and Nathan Beaulieu are ready to step into bigger roles with the NHL club this coming season or hope that Dmitry Kulikov can have a healthy and productive year – something he hasn't been able to do since the 2015-16 season in Florida.
There is a chance the Jets could still land a free agent defenseman, but the pickings for a quality defenseman that won't end up at best being a risky contract to take on are slim. There of course is Jake Gardiner still available, but his contract demands may be too rich for a Jets team that already has one defenseman with a history of injury question marks and after that the available talent drops off significantly. Think Luca Sbisa, Brooks Orpik and Ben Lovejoy.
GM Kevin Cheveldayoff could pull the trigger on a trade to bring in some defenseive help. Those pesky rumors that the team could be shopping Nik Ehlers still float around and if trading Ehlers is still an option on the table (and we're on record as saying it shouldn't be, but nevertheless) then one would hope Cheveldayoff can get fair value for him and a bonafide top four defenseman.
(By the way, Sabres defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen is *not* the kind of player and the Jets need to stay the hell away from him, especially if the ask from Buffalo is Ehlers.)
There are still two months left of Summer until the start of training camp and the roster is by no means established in stone just yet, but at this point we want to ask you about the state of the Winnipeg Jets defense.
So in today's What Would You Do Wednesday (being asked on a Thursday) question, we want to know: What would you as Jets GM do to help the defensive lineup? Conversely, if there are no changes in the roster to be made and you're deciding to roll with the seven players the Jets have now – Byfuglien, Pionk, Morrissey Niku, Beaulieu, Poolman and Kulikov – then how would you have them line up come October when the puck drops on a new season?
Let us know your thoughts and what trades you'd make in the comments below or on either our Twitter feed or Facebook page! As always, we're going to go over some of the best and/or most thoughtful replies next week.
2019 Offseason Update: Winnipeg Jets Stanley Cup Odds
JetsNation by Nation World Hq	- 1w ago
by OddsShark (@OddsShark)
The Winnipeg Jets missed out on winning the Central Division this past season by the slimmest of margins, as the Nashville Predators finished one point ahead of both them and the St. Louis Blues. The result was a first-round playoff matchup with the Blues, who beat the Jets in six games en route to their first-ever Stanley Cup title.
Winnipeg now hopes to put together a better season in 2019-20, which may be tough considering some key players are gone from last year's squad, with sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com listing the team at +1600 (bet $100 to win $1600) on the latest Stanley Cup odds.
The Jets had acquired center Kevin Hayes from the New York Rangers at the trade deadline but then dealt him to the Philadelphia Flyers early in the offseason, knowing that they did not have much of a chance to re-sign him. They later traded defenseman Jacob Trouba to the Rangers leading up to the NHL Draft, as the former No. 9 overall pick was used to pick up the 20th overall pick along with fellow defenseman Neal Pionk.
Free agent defenseman Tyler Myers, who stands 6-foot-8 and weighs 229 pounds, also signed a five-year deal worth $30 million with the Vancouver Canucks, further decimating a blue line that struggled to replicate its performance from 2017-18 when goaltender Connor Hellebuyck was named a finalist for the Vezina Trophy.
Re-signing restricted free agent wingers Patrik Laine and Kyle Connor remains Winnipeg's biggest priority, as the team tries to avoid taking another step back on the offensive side.
The 21-year-old Laine totalled 50 points (30 goals and 20 assists) last season, his lowest numbers in three years since becoming the second overall pick in 2016. Meanwhile, Connor had a career-high 66 points (34 goals and 32 assists) in his third season after getting selected 17th overall in 2015.
Other teams around the league can sign them to offer sheets like the Montreal Canadiens did with Sebastian Aho of the Carolina Hurricanes, who matched it to retain his services. The Jets still have a solid core of offensive players and cannot afford to lose either one if they want to make another run at the Stanley Cup and pay out on those NHL odds, so their situation is definitely worth monitoring right now.

Random Snapshots: The Coolest Game On Earth
Just some random things on my mind….
Still can't believe the Canucks signed Tyler Myers to that deal they gave him and I really can't believe the Penguins gave Brandon Tanev not only a six year deal, but a no movement clause to boot… And unlike a lot of Jets fans, I actually liked both those guys.
We're not even mid-way through July, so I am trying really hard not to panic – especially when Kevin Cheveldayoff and the Jets are famous for keeping a tight lipped ship when it comes to contract talks – but I think given the uncertainty around the club the last few months and the fact that we are a little bit over two months away from the opening of training camp, it would be nice to see Kyle Connor and Patrik Laine inked to deals sooner rather than later.
Chicago got the wrong Nylander
I really don't know if a Dmitry Kulikov buyout is worth it to be honest. Anyone else get the feeling he's going to be given the Ondrej Pavelec treatment this fall and handed a one way ticket to the AHL? He along with Steve Mason will always be in that "seemed like a good idea at the time" category of signings.
If we have learned but only one thing this summer, it's that Marc Bergivin proved why GM's don't (and really shouldn't) offer sheet RFA's
Two seasons ago the Vegas Golden Knights didn't exist or have any players on their roster and now they are a club fighting to get under the cap. It's rather remarkable and for as much grief as the Columbus Blue Jackets got for going "all in" at the trade deadline with nothing to really show for it (outside of a stunning upset of the Lightning of course) Vegas has maybe a two year window to win a Cup before handing out mega contracts to the likes of Mark Stone, Max Pacioretty and Marc-Andre Fleury doesn't start looking like a massive blunder.
Remember the "coolest game on earth" ads that aired in the late 90's and early 00's? The NHL would be wise to revisit that and do at least one ad for every team.
Coolest Game on Earth - YouTube
Jacob Trouba hasn't signed with the New York Rangers yet and his arbitration hearing is set for July 25. I don't know what point I am making in pointing this out and negotiations are said to be going "amicably" between Trouba and his new club (which when you think of it, is more info than what we know about how negotiations are going between the Jets and their RFA's) so maybe this isn't a big deal, but then again with Trouba yet again in a bit of a contract impasse at this point, maybe it is.
Jake Gardiner would look really good in a Jets uniform, and I feel like the longer he goes unsigned, the better a chance Chevy would have to sign him for even just a short – thinking two year – deal which would be possible if one of Laine or Connor go for a bridge deal. He wouldn't be a proper replacement for Trouba, but suddenly you have a top four of Byfuglien, Morrissey, Niku and Gardiner with Beaulieu, Poolman and Pionk in your fifth and sixth spots and that's not too bad at all.
Speaking of bridge deals, ideally if you're the GM of the Jets, Connor is the one you bridge and Laine is the one the Jets should sign long term. Unfortunately I think the agents for both players – Richard Evans and Michael Liut respectively – would like the opposite for their clients. Connor is at a point where his base stats will require a big salary (which he can thank both Mark Scheifele and Blake Wheeler for in a lot of ways) and he'll look to lock that in for a good length of time. Laine had an up and down year and while no one questions his shooting, everything else about his game is under scrutiny and thus it would be wise for him to bet on himself, take a smaller bridge deal and look to cash in big time in a few years when those other skills develop.
The five Jets prospects I am most intrigued by for one reason or another: David Gustafsson, Mikhail Bedin, Logan Stanley, Kristian Vesalinen and Harrison Blaisdell. These aren't my "top five" per say, but the five I am most interested in seeing how they develop.
Last word to John Malloy who sums up the existence of hockey fans in 2019 very well with this one tweet:

Arbitration Dates Set for Pionk & Copp
JetsNation by Prestonhodgkinson	- 1w ago
We got news!
The Arbitration hearing dates for both forward Andrew Copp and, newly acquired, defenseman Neal Pionk have officially been set.
Copp will meet with Jets on July 21st while Pionk's hearing will happen on July 24th.
Both players represent useful pieces for Winnipeg's roster heading into next season.
Copp was a fixture within the team's bottom 6 last season and is coming off a career year that saw him net 11 goals and 25pts.
Pionk, on the other hand, is new to the team after being acquired from the Rangers in the Jacob Trouba trade last month. The 23-year-old defender played 73 games with New York last season, collecting 26pts in the process. He spent the majority of the year paired up with Marc Staal and averaged 21 minutes per game. Considering the team's current situation, with the departure of Trouba and Tyler Myers, Pionk will be trusted to carry a heavier workload this coming season.
The Jets shouldn't have a problem getting either player signed. At the moment they are second in the league in available cap-space, with 22 million to spend.
After Copp and Pionk are signed, the team's focus will shift to getting Patrik Laine and Kyle Connor signed to extensions.
The Winnipeg Jets Should Absolutely Have A Thrashers Night
Over the weekend, the Washington Nationals held "Expos Day" as they wore the road uniforms of the 1969 Montreal Expos and had other various nice touches at the Nationals Park including making player announcements in both English and French, having their scoreboard look like a classic 70's style light board and having Montreal themed food at the concession stands. Heck, they even went all out with the free programs as well as bullpen cart.
Great throwback by the @Nationals today.
Players even wore era appropriate socks, which is often overlooked. The scoreboard and bullpen cart even got into the act. They even had some specialty Montreal themed food items.
Only mistake was a woeful shortage of merchandise. pic.twitter.com/JDWryXUy7e
— Front Office Curmudgeon (@CurmudgeonFront) July 7, 2019
Of course it's 2019 and things like this can't happen without people complaining about it. Expos fans felt it was a slap in the face to Montreal fans who had to see their team depart to Washington 15 years ago. Nationals fans thought it was a slap in the face that the team even bothered to care about the Expos and not say the Washington Senators who are actually now the Texas Rangers.
But all those people honestly don't matter. How can they when you see this as part of your Saturday afternoon baseball watching?
Sure it was a bit odd that the Nationals after 15 years of being in D.C. with nary a mention of their Montreal history suddenly broke out the powder blue unis, just like it was odd seeing the Carolina Hurricanes do the same with the old Hartford Whalers gear this past NHL season which also elicited much of the same reaction from gate-keeping fans on both sides.
Lookin' good in green pic.twitter.com/N6T2mGSXnK
— Carolina Hurricanes (@NHLCanes) December 23, 2018
All of this is to say that I really do feel at some point the Winnipeg Jets should have a Thrashers night. Maybe not right away – as I said, the Nationals took 15 years to have one Expos day and the Hurricanes waited a full 22 years to throw on the old green and white from Hartford – but maybe for the tenth year anniversary season in 2020-21?
Sure you'll have fans in Winnipeg that will hate the idea of honoring a defunct team in a city that seemingly didn't care that much about hockey. Sure you'll have fans in Atlanta angry because somehow trying to remember a team's past in another city is an insult to that very city. Sure everyone will call it a shameless cash grab to sell merch.
Those are all valid points and as the Hurricanes and Nationals have proved, none of them matter. A cash grab? What the heck do you all think pro-sports is anyway? Consider your cash grabbed the next time you buy a hat or shirt or jersey or shell out over 500 bucks for a pair of seats along the glass for the night.
As former Expo and current Nats broadcaster F.P. Santangelo pointed out during the Expos game on Saturday (and I am paraphrasing here), it's one day out of 15 years that they're doing this. If you hate this, no one can really help you because you must hate a lot of things.
Plus I bet a Thrashers night would mean a lot to the players who came up with the team in the move. Blake Wheeler, Bryan Little, Dustin Byfuglien…
And think for a second how much fun a Thrashers Night would be.
The Thrashers had beautiful blue alternates that eventually because their primary jerseys. The Jets could wear those.
Need music in the stadium? Atlanta has a rich history in music and a wealth of talent – off the top of my head you could play acts like Outkast, Sevendust, Usher, Indigo Girls, Ludacris, Collective Soul, 21 Savage – to make up a great hockey playlist.
Invite noted Thrashers fan Lil Jon to drop the puck for the ceremonial face-off. Granted he's a Vegas fan now and the Golden Knights would probably find a way to block him from going to Winnipeg, but it's still worth it to invite him.
Food concession choices? You can't go wrong with BBQ ribs or fried chicken and waffles and be able to wash it down with a Coke.
For the longest time I've wanted the Jets to claim BOTH the history of the previous Winnipeg NHL club and the history of the Thrashers. I admit it's somewhat of a greedy stance to take, but since no one can seem to agree what the sports teams should and shouldn't do to honor their former selves in other cities, why not just claim it all? A good first step to such a plan is to have a Thrashers night.
Copp And Pionk Elect For Salary Arbitration
JetsNation by Cassie Moiser	- 1w ago
Restricted free agents Neal Pionk and Andrew Copp have both opted for salary arbitration today, as announced by the NHLPA.
Copp played 69 games last year and had 11 goals and 14 assists, bringing his point total to 25. Pionk, who was acquired in the Trouba trade, played top line minutes for the Rangers. He played 73 games and had 6 goals and 20 assists, getting him 26 points for the season. Copp had an AAV of $1,000,000 and Pionk had an AAV of $1,775,000. Both are looking for raises on those numbers.
Pilot's Logbook 2018-19: Andrew Copp
Salary arbitration hearings will be held in Toronto from July 20 to Aug. 4, 2019. With both players filing for arbitration, a new 48 hour buyout window will open three days after the last hearing.
It's worth noting that all parties involved can negotiate and sign a deal prior to the hearings, which would avoid the hearing altogether.
Eric Comrie, who was also arbitration eligible, opted to not go to arbitration.

Lisle Licensing named as licensing agent for Smooshy Mushy™
21st February 2018 /in Uncategorised /by Nathan Parks
Lisle Licensing has been named by OLO Industries, LLC, in partnership with RedwoodVentures, Ltd, as the European licensing agent for Smooshy Mushy™, the hugely successful squishable slow rise collectible line. Both will leverage the friend-inspired squish line, first introduced in Fall 2017, with its vast loyal consumer base.
"Over 50 million YouTube fans love our Smooshy Mushy brand and we have seen a huge community develop around our adorable slow rise line," said Shelly Owen, Owner of OLO Industries. "We're looking forward to building the Smooshy Mushy brand with consumers across numerous product categories, and we believe Lisle Licensing are the absolute best to make this happen."
Andy Wiseman, CEO of RedwoodVentures, the manufacturer of the full Smooshy Mushy collectible line, said sales have been brisk since debuting in late October 2017. "Smooshy Mushy was a sell-out in 2017 when exclusively available at Walmart," he said. "Demand has remained extremely strong in 2018 as the line expands to Toys R Us, Target, Michaels, Amazon and other retailers, in addition to dozens of key world markets."
Lisle Licensing, who has managed brands across different categories of licensing since 2010, will customize a strategic brand and marketing program that supports the Smooshy Mushy trademark into additional categories in the United Kingdom and Europe.

"Untitled (Surround)" is Motoyuki Daifu's second solo exhibition with the gallery. Here Daifu focuses on the suburban Yokohama neighborhood of his family home, an area situated geographically between the suburbia captured by photographer Takashi Homma and the city shot by Takuma Nakahira. Unified in tone, the images are as casually composed as in his earlier domestic interiors and still lifes, yet the strangeness of this work is less a product of unexpected juxtaposition, information overload, or saturated color; rather, it is primarily a result of the off-balance nature of standardized suburban Japanese architecture. Installed vertically, with no regard to representation but with a focus on the photographic object, "Untitled (Surround)" marks a development in Daifu's attempt to realize a contemporary Japanese photography. Daifu will release a handmade, limited edition box set comprised of the 16 zines featuring images from "Untitled (Surround). This edition of 15 includes a signed photographic print.


Set in an alpine meadow at 6,000 feet and surrounded by the 10,000-foot granite peaks of the Sierra, Grover Hot Springs State Park—just outside the town of Markleeville—has its very own hot springs.
The springs are a definite park draw, but there are also trails to waterfalls and lakes located within the park. Grover Hot Springs is a product of ancient lava activity.
Snow-melt meets hot rock, boiling and percolating through the earth. At the source, the water comes out at a roaring 148 degrees, but the park funnels the mineral water to a holding tank and then to the pools, one hot, one cold: You get to soak up those magic minerals at a comfortable temperature. Morning and night visitors alike will see steam rising from the baths.
The spot is popular with locals and visitors, and it can fill up fast on weekends, so take some time to explore the park's trails. The Grover Hot Springs Waterfall Trail is an easy 2-mile (round-trip) journey accessible from the parking lot. The facilities aren't glitzy, but the beautiful setting and aroma of pine trees and mountain air is all you need to feel VIP.
Grover Hot Springs is located 4 miles west of Markleeville, CA, at the end of Hot Springs Rd. Grover Hot Springs is open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., closed on Wednesdays. $10 per adult, $5 per child. No dogs.
