Culture Music In conversation: Greta Morgan of Vampire Weekend and Springtime Carnivore
In conversation: Greta Morgan of Vampire Weekend and Springtime Carnivore
A chat with Greta Morgan - touring member of Vampire Weekend and creative force behind Springtime Carnivore - about all things music, touring, and elusive neighbours.
Hope Hopkinson
Greta Morgan – otherwise known as Springtime Carnivore – has made a name for herself as a touring member of indie rock band Vampire Weekend. Driven by dreamy-pop, psychedelia and punk rock alike, Morgan is a multi-instrumentalist whose talent speaks for itself. Hope Hopkinson chatted to Greta following the conclusion of Vampire Weekend's Father of the Bride world tour and deserving Grammy win, to talk about all things music, touring, and elusive neighbours.
Across all the projects you've been involved with, it's evident that your driving force is your passion. Could you tell me a little bit more about where this passion came from, and how you continue to inspire and motivate yourself to make music?
"Playing music and writing songs has always felt like part of the basic tapestry of daily living, as natural as making coffee in the morning or going for a walk in the afternoon. I began writing songs as a toddler and learned how to write sheet music before I learned the alphabet. Thankfully, my parents nurtured those early instincts. By the time I was 11, I had studied classical music but was ready to quit piano because I thought it wasn't "cool" anymore, but then my parents divorced and I began writing songs as an emotional catharsis while I navigated that emotional transition. If my parents didn't get divorced, I imagine I would've become a different type of writer: my teenage dream was to write books or become a journalist prior to that happening. Music is just the best way for me personally to alchemize an emotion and once I learned how to do that, I've never stopped."
"I'm writing all the time, but the intention changes: sometimes I write for catharsis, sometimes for a cerebral challenge, sometimes it's a means of collaborating or communicating with other people. Occasionally I write on commission for a commercial, film, or for another artist – at those times it feels more like a part time job because the assignment is super clear. But writing has always been there as an essential part of the day. I don't have a specific writing mantra, but if I did it might be, "just keep swinging," because I revisit song ideas over and over 'til they take shape and often I just sit down to 'open the channel' and see what's playing without any expectation."
Throughout your career, you've been involved with a diverse array of projects. My favourite so far is the punk-meets-dreamy-pop cover album, Take it, it's yours, that you released with Katy Goodman. Your arrangements of punk classics reinvented them as feeling both beautiful and current – what was the creative process behind this project like?
"Katy and I have always loved to play music together. She's an unbelievable harmonizer because her voice has this pure, silky quality that blends perfectly with anyone. She and I were goofing around in my backyard singing the Misfits with a two-part harmony, and my elusive rock 'n' roll neighbor whom I call "The Shredder" (he shreds epic guitar solos but only for 15 minutes a day at sunset), called over the fence and said, "THAT IS BEAUTIFUL, LADIES!" We joked afterward, "What if we made a whole record of beautiful versions of punk songs? Wouldn't that be funny?" but then realized it was a legitimate idea."
You've been releasing music as Springtime Carnivore for the best part of a decade – with a gorgeous discography of sunshine-meets-psychedelia. Your music feels heavily detailed and authentic; a real labour of love. How has releasing this music been different to your other projects?
"Springtime Carnivore has more of my own fingerprints than any other project I've been part of, for better or for worse! There's much beauty and joy in collaborating, but I feel like I can go deeper when I work in solitude and that's how the Springtime Carnivore records were written."
In 2018, you joined the touring line-up of Vampire Weekend. How did this opportunity come about? What's been your experience so far of joining such a well-loved band on the road – how has the fan reception been, and what have been the highlights?
"Funny backstory here: Ezra Koenig (the singer of Vampire Weekend) and I found out in 2008 that we are third cousins through marriage. We learned of this through a Koenig family email chain which my grandmother Lynn (a distant Koenig), was a member of. Someone sent news of Ezra's Spin magazine cover in 2008 to the email chain, and my grandmother responded saying, "My granddaughter is on tour with her band too!"."
"Eventually Ezra and I met. I liked him immediately because he's funny, brilliant, and has a unique perspective on pretty much everything. A decade went by and I continued releasing records and touring in my own projects. Around 2017, I began to occasionally accompany other singers on tour (Jenny Lewis, Jessica Pratt, etc.), and enjoyed the process of learning another artist's back catalogue. My rule was that I'd only accompany someone from whom I had much to learn musically. When Rostam left the band and they were re-building the live lineup, Ezra invited me to join the group. I was super excited, as I have loved all their records for years. And I was grateful I'd had those recent experiences of backing Jenny Lewis and Jessica Pratt because it prepared me for this. Amazingly, I joined the band the week before my grandmother died. I was able to tell her that, because of her insight, she had connected Ezra and I and we were about to travel the world together. It felt like a generational passing of the torch in a beautiful way."
"When I joined the band, they basically said, "If you can learn 60 songs to start, that would be great. We're going to play our first show in less than a month." From there, I went into Vampire Weekend tunnel vision – I spent 8-9 hours a day learning the songs and memorizing lyrics with flash cards. At a certain point, I started dreaming medleys of their songs; it was total immersion."
"Now it's almost 2 years since I joined and the musical bond in the band is super strong. Performing feels like second nature. We play 2.5 hours a night and keep a catalogue of 80+ songs of original material and covers fresh enough to take requests every evening. Before we started touring, we rehearsed for 6-8 hours 3-4 days a week for essentially 8 months. That feeling of musical and personal companionship is a joy for any musician to have. I'm always happy to have a break at home between tours to catch up on my own work and recover physically, but I always miss the guys!"
It's been incredibly welcoming seeing your addition to the lineup, as well as Danielle Haim's contributions to the latest VW record, Father of the Bride – shaking up the previously all-male outfit. How has being a woman in rock music shaped your experience, in Vampire Weekend and beyond?
"It's hard to answer a question about being "a woman in rock music," because I have no idea what the alternative is! It's just my life, it's always been my life. I love playing music with all genders of people and non-gendered people – music is for everyone!"
"The one thing I could directly respond to here is the fact that dozens of female Vampire Weekend fans have sent me messages saying that seeing a woman in their favorite band gave them hope and encouragement to pursue an instrument or a path in music. If me being "a woman in rock music" helped encourage these young women to follow their interests and their talent, then I don't mind identifying that way."
What's next on the horizon? Can we expect to see new Springtime Carnivore music? Do you see your involvement with Vampire Weekend going beyond the stage and extending to the creative and recording processes?
"I'm working on a solo record which I'm deeply excited about. It's been a joy to use my time off to incubate these new songs and I look forward to releasing some music in 2020 and a new record in 2021. I'm also working on a scripted project with a comedian friend, which has been incredibly fun because it's an outlet for a different part of my personality than songs. The future with Vampire Weekend is yet-to-be-discovered, but I certainly have loved my time with them and would be game for more."

Barbs fly as MPs debate NDP motion to increase Elections Canada powers
OTTAWA - The Conservative government backs an NDP motion promising greater investigative powers for Elections Canada, but stopped short Thursday of committing to changing the rules within six months.
NDP critic David Christopherson says if the Harper government later reneges, there will be "hell to pay."
But given the current furor in parliament over widespread allegations of election fraud, it may be difficult for non-partisan observers to tell the difference. Indeed, debate over the NDP motion — which all parties in the Commons claim to support — resulted in a bitter, day-long partisan sparring match Thursday.
The motion will be voted on Monday in the House of Commons.
New Democrats want the chief electoral officer to have the same power as his provincial counterparts to force parties to provide proof, such as receipts, in support of their campaign financial returns. And the NDP amended its own motion Thursday to make that new power retroactive to previous elections.
Those campaign returns are the basis for huge taxpayer rebates to parties — about $30 million per election — yet currently cannot be independently verified by the elections watchdog.
A Conservative-dominated committee formally rejected a similar proposal just last month, but the government suddenly reversed course this week after opposition parties claimed that rejection was proof of a cover-up in the investigation of fraudulent phone calls in last spring's election.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper signalled the government's change of course with a single phrase in French during Wednesday's question period, but has refused to elaborate.
Bob Rae, Liberal interim leader, attempted to get Harper on the record Thursday, asking directly whether the government will enact legislation, within six months, that gives the chief electoral officer retroactive powers.
"Once again, the government has been very clear in its decision on the matters before the House today," the prime minister responded.
Harper's cryptic response left New Democrats and Liberals reading the tea leaves from the day-long Commons debate on the motion — a debate that focused heavily on scandals, past and present, real and imagined, and seldom touched on the statutory powers of the federal elections watchdog.
Rae made a claim of subpoenas being issued against the Conservative party in the robocall affair, which the governing party insisted was factually incorrect.
New Democrat Don Davies used the debate to call for a public inquiry into the voter suppression allegations.
Dean Del Mastro, Harper's parliamentary secretary, went on an extended rant about the Liberal sponsorship scandal, which is now 15 years old.
"I would suggest it is the opposition fanning the flames of that hysteria," said Tom Lukiwski, parliamentary secretary to the House leader — before accusing the opposition of being "complicit in assisting American and international left-wing groups (to) try and persuade Elections Canada that there are (election) complaints."
Several speakers noted that when it comes to voter suppression, the ugly spectacle of MPs tossing around indiscriminate accusations of sleaze probably does as much as a fraudulent phone call.
Conservative backbencher Michael Chong appeared to be directing his comments at both sides of the aisle when he warned his fellow parliamentarians against mixing up hardball tactics, past scandals and the current Elections Canada investigation.
"I think it brings disrepute on all of us here in the House when we start conflating that debate," said Chong.

Essar moves into UK fuel retail market
4 April 2016	(Last Updated April 4th, 2016 18:30)
Essar Oil UK has entered the UK fuel retail business following the successful turnaround of the Stanlow refinery, which it acquired from Shell almost half a decade ago.
The company has acquired seven outlets from major players such as Gulf Oil, Total and Jet, thereby becoming the Indian oil company to foray into the European fuel retail sector, reported PTI.
The firm is aims to establish four hundred outlets in three years, as well as gain a share of 10% in the UK fuel retail sector using the 'Made in UK' campaign.
Essar intends to offer easy contracts and better supply and financial terms to fuel dealers.
"Essar intends to offer easy contracts and better supply and financial terms to fuel dealers."
The company's move into the fuel retail segment is part of its strategy to accrue $100m for its refinery operations.
In 2011, Essar bought the Stanlow refinery from Shell, an Anglo-Dutch firm.
The unit is now a major refinery in the UK, with a 16% share in the transport fuels segment.


Innovative streaming application Rainway is now in open beta. The news was revealed today on the official site and many of you who had signed up for alerts have probably had an email informing you of this. This beta is primarily for PC right now, so the Nintendo Switch doesn't seem supported as of yet. It is encouraging that progress is being made. You can check out the official site here.
Video Players are not supported on the switch yet.. this is probably why rainwave is not on the switch!
That's not true, you'll find video played back by browser means in the OS, news updates and eShop already – not to mention video playback in the Nico Douga app – and cutscenes in at least a hundred games.
What is not supported on the Switch yet however is a certain kind of encryption, one integral to the workings of services like Netflix. That is apparently the primary reason we don't have those video streaming services yet.
What exactly is the usefulness in streaming your pc game from your pc to your pc? Rainway for pc would just be the launcher for another platform to receive wouldn't it?
Like me, if you have a laptop and a gaming desktop and would like to play from your laptop when you're away from your desktop, this is perfect.
This is the *beta*. There's no point in rolling out all the different clients before properly testing the whole system.
Why when they have a PC to do it anyway which is required to stream but also redundant since they can do it on the PC right now. lol This concept is already a dumbass waste of time.
Because they want to play it on a handheld of course.
Then just port the goddamn games and what would happen if certain key games they'll use Raindrop to play through gets ported over? It's a DOA app especially if you already have the PC to run/stream the same games which makes no sense to get said app for the Switch. Just buy a Switch Pro controller for Steam (it's works, I tried and still play with it) and you're good to go.
But for Bethseda? lol We got 3 big games from them in under a year and still no one bitched about it. The thing is this: Activision and they're another dumbass third party ignoring Switch's golden egg opportunity to make good business with it's hype and record breaking sales.
Bethesda forces worked with Panic Button for porting those games on the Switch but the amount of time for porting it it's really high.
Blizzard requires years for port a game to a console and they probably ignore the Switch because they don't see it as a powerful machine just like PCs.
And they think PS4/XB1 are? lmao That's very funny considering they never held their 1080p/60FPS promise ONCE until they got the slightly updated versions in less than a year for both. lol No matter what console or brand, NONE of them will ever match the PC or come close and that's fact.
…ask for a port? Why would anyone do that for a competitive game like Overwatch? Or an old game like Half-Life or Portal? It's best to play those games on PC and on-the-go if you have the choice to. It's not redundant, you just obviously don't play any games on PC to know the reason.
I do play on the PC and that's the reason. Why stream on one system when you need and play it on the PC? That's only suitable for outside access if accessible but you have to take internet speed, range and secondary stream device into account plus, what would happen if said PC isn't connected at home or have power and you're outside wanting to play it on a second device? What then? Inconveniences is too great for this. Just port the games or stick with it on one platform.
has anyone been able to get this to work on your laptop or phone? It won't take me past the login screen on pc and I can't even open it on my phone. Is the beta pc only? That's lame af in that case.
You need to run the server software on your pc first.

The Lions Notebook: Training Camp Edition: June 9th
June 10, 2015 By Brian Wawryshyn
A nice breeze made things a little cooler for today's sessions at Hillside Stadium in Kamloops, much to the relief of the players and this blogger sitting in the stands. The Lions continue to install the offense of Jeff Tedford in preparation for Friday's preseason opener in Calgary.
Here are some observations from today's sessions in this edition of the Lions Notebook: Training Camp Edition, June 9th.
The Lions practiced without pads for the morning session but had them on in the afternoon for the last time before their game in Calgary on Friday. The afternoon was a spirited affair that saw a player skirmish involving DB Torrie Williams and an unidentified player on offence that was broken up quickly by Jeff Tedford.
Watching: Solomon Elimimian (afternoon), Courtney Taylor, Lavelle Hawkins, Courtney Taylor
Behind Centre
Jonathan Jennings continues to separate himself as the front runner for the backup/third string role to Travis Lulay, just ahead of Greg McGhee. Both players can expect to see a fair bit of work in Calgary (Lulay will not play) along with Travis Partridge who will likely get the start. Partridge is going to have to really show something in my opinion to not get over taken by Jennings or McGhee in my opinion. John Beck is back in camp and threw light passes in drills early in the session, but was not a full participant.
The Lions appear to have settled on a starting five on the offensive line, for now at least. Jovan Olafiyoe of course stays at right tackle, Dean Valli at right guard, Jason Foster at centre, Matt Norman at left guard and newcomer Josh Aladenoye at left tackle. Kirby Fabien continues to participate on the second unit, and this is a big disappointment, as many were hoping he was going to rebound from an inconsistent 2014 after returning from injury. Right now, Fabien is backing up Norman, who seems to be settling in nicely at guard after moving from centre.
Dante's Corner
Anyone concerned about the loss of Dante Marsh should rest easy, as Ronnie Yell has really stood out for me at this camp and looks to be in midseason form. He's been battling against Manny Arceneaux and has showed very well. He's quick, physical and has been in Arceneaux's grill constantly. He doesn't always win the battle, because let's face it, Manny is pretty good, but Yell seems to be adjusting just fine to not only his role, but the new rule changes imposed on defenders.
Here is a bit more from Yell himself, courtesy of the BC Lions on Twitter:
DB @rondonbby on expectations for 2015, adjusting to rule changes & fine tuning his game alongside vet Ryan Phillips https://t.co/1XwDj26AtR
— BC Lions (@BCLions) June 10, 2015
Kicking Battle
We have been very impressed by the two kickers in camp, Anthony Fera and Richie Leone, but Tuesday wasn't a banner day for either. Both players missed some field goals and shanked some punts, so Friday is going to be interesting to see which player emerges as a front runner for the job. Still there is no denying the leg strength of both candidates, both kicking 47 yard field goals to the back of the endzone and both launching some absolutely spectacular punts in both sessions.
Make note of the name Tim Vizzi (Photo: BC Lions Den)
Marco Iannuzzi had a strong day, getting open to make several TD catches during passing drills. One name to watch out for is Tim Vizzi, who has some people drawing comparisons to Weston Dressler. The Penn State product isn't big in size, but runs good routes and has a solid set of hands. When you add the likes of Bryan Burnham, Austin Collie, Terence Jeffers-Harris, Shawn Gore and Manny Arceneaux and this group looks talented. Nevermind the additions of Cameron Morrah and A.C. Leonard, both of whom continue to impress. Now the Lions must find a way to keep as many of these talented players as possible.
There is some mystery to the status of Courtney Taylor whose participation in camp has been minimal since I've arrived.
Harris Watch
Rest easy Lions fans, Andrew Harris looks very, very good. Harris show no signs that his injury from last season isn't healed. He looks quick and explosive hitting holes. Like Lulay, I wouldn't expect him to see any action in Calgary, because there is no point, and the Lions have other backs they need to evaluate, like Shaquille Murray-Lawrence, Brendan Bigelow, Rickey Galvin and of course Keola Antolin, With Murray-Lawrence and Antolin missing earlier sessions with minor injuries they will be looking to impress in the preseason.
The Injury Bug
The Lions appeared to have taken a blow to their defensive line when DT Michael Brooks went down with what appeared to be a right knee injury. Brooks was carted off the field near the end of practice and it didn't look good. Brooks had been impressing and it's a tough break for him if the injury is as bad as it looked. Tim Jackson (North Carolina) is the next man up on the depth charge and will look to take advantage of Brooks' bad luck.
As my friend Lloyd Bruneau noted, Jason Vega is currently sitting in Winnipeg, waiting for a phone call.
Offensive lineman Cody Husband and Cameron Thorn continue to follow concussion protocol.
We leave you with this. The Lions cranked up the music for their warmup session and we caught this video of linebacker Adam Bighill who dances across the screen like he was in a Broadway show.
http://3downnation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/DSC_0481.mp4
One more day at camp for us, with an hour walk through in the morning, we'll spare you the details of that and will take in the afternoon session before heading home to Vancouver.
Thanks for reading, everyone.

Marsh extension retains leadership on and off the field.
March 13, 2013 By Brian Wawryshyn
The BC Lions announced a contract extension for nine year veteran cornerback Dante Marsh on Wednesday and it would be a tough to find anyone who questions that move. Marsh has been consistently solid in his nine years patrolling the corner of the Lions secondary, and has become a leader on and off the field.
Lions' fans that witnessed Marsh's first game as a Lion, might not have been so sure he would be around nine years later. Now a seasoned CFL veteran, Marsh was given a harsh introduction to the CFL that night, but his confidence in himself and his work ethic have carved out a nice place in Lions and CFL history that could find him on the Lions Ring of Honour / Wall of Fame, if not the hall itself in Hamilton.
With two Grey Cup rings on his resume, Marsh is part of a solid core of players that are the leadership brain trust in the Lions locker room. That leadership group has been instrumental in the two championships during Marsh's tenure, and has allowed young players coming in to be given an example of how to be professionals.
When Khalif Mitchell went off the rails a little last season, it was Marsh that spoke out to let the young defensive lineman know that he better shape up or be prepared to ship out.
"I'm not going to have someone ruin what we've built around here," Marsh told the media at the time.
The leadership group of the club will be challenged again this year after the departure of Geroy Simon, who of course is now in Saskatchewan. But the torch is in good hands, making the contract extension for Marsh just as valuable off the field as it is on it.
As a friend of this site, we're glad to have Dante back for a 10th season. He's partnered with us in the past to raise money for CFL Fans Fight Cancer, another one of his solid attributes.
Dante talks to Lions fans about his extension:
Mar 13, 2013 | by dantemarsh on Keek.com
Marco Iannuzzi back as well.
The Lions also announced an extension for Canadian receiver Marco Iannuzzi this week. Iannuzzi oozes potential and along with Akeem Foster, Shawn Gore and Paris Jackson, gives the Lions great non-import depth at the position heading into 2013. Look for Iannuzzi to play a bigger role and build on his 30 catch, 353 yard, 5 touchdown season a year ago.

2011 CFL Draft Preview: Possibilities for the Lions heading into Sunday.
May 7, 2011 By Brian Wawryshyn
The last major event before training camp goes this Sunday when the CFL holds it's annual Canadian College draft. TSN will broadcast the first two rounds of the draft, beginning at 9:30 a.m. PDT and we'll be live blogging the draft starting with some pre draft chat at 9:00am.
The BC Lions hold the 3rd overall pick in 5 of the 6 rounds. They do not have a 2nd round pick, surrendering that to the Calgary Stampeders when they acquired offensive lineman Jesse Newman last season. The club will be looking to add some depth to a young and emerging roster and will be aiming to have a better success rate in the draft than in recent years. Last year's top pick Danny Watkins recently went in the first round of this year's NFL to the Philadelphia Eagles while other recent picks have had to be released due to lack of roster space or plucked by other teams of practice rosters.
That said, 2010 was a productive draft for the Lions. As CFL.ca's Jim Mullin writes, a total of five drafted players suited up for the Lions last season. All will be back in Kamloops for training camp and looking to play a bigger role in 2011.
Looking at the Lions biggest need you have to look at the receivers and in particular non-import depth at the position. The team has Paris Jackson, Shawn Gore, O'Neill Wilson, Akeem Foster and Matt Chapdelaine on the roster, and while they list Andrew Harris as a wide receiver he's a running back at heart. Paris Jackson is coming off a sub par season after knee issues hampered his game, and the Lions are hoping for big things from Gore in his first full season with the team. Akeem Foster will also look to play a bigger role, but it's plain to see the Lions have needs to address here, leading most to predict they will take a receiver with the 3rd overall pick. Calgary Dino's Anthony Parker and Nathan Coehoorn are possibilities, as is Marco Iannuzzi out of Harvard.
The Lions also need help on the defensive line. Cameron Wake left a void that may not be filled for quite some time. Canadian Brent Johnson returns but isn't getting any younger, so the Lions could be in the market for a defensive lineman in the draft.
Offensive line is always an option, but I can't see the Lions taking one with the first pick unless Rice's Scott Mitchell drops down to the Lions. They do need to start planning for a successor to Angus Reid and while Baylor's Philip Blake may be intriguing, he's also on the NFL radar for 2012 and it remains to be seen if BC is willing to take a chance on him like they did with Watkins last year. That uncertainty saw Blake drop in the final CFL rankings.
To get an outside point of view, I asked two people whose opinion I really respect to provide as an outsiders look at the Lions draft needs.
Kurt Ridley of Ridley Scouting provides scouting and player preparation services out of Airdrie, AB. He's also the author of an extensive 2011 CFL Draft Guide (Available for download for $4.99) and has participated in CFL E-Camps in the past.
Jack Bedell writes an Eye on the East column for BCLionsDen.ca and also writes for the Montreal Alouettes web site.
Each of them had some thoughts on what the Lions might do on Sunday.
Kent Ridley
Review of 2010:
Interesting results from last year's grab of college players. Danny Watkins is out of the picture and has been much talked about so we won't dig into that. Shawn Gore had a run with the Packers that likely sent him to Vancouver a little more polished than straight out of Bishop's. From testing highlight reel to a contributor in the offense is what is expected of him. Nate Binder has bounced around the CFL since his release in BC. Joash Gesse will move into a learning role behind James Yurichuk, a former first round pick, who extended his contract this spring. Akeem Foster is a guy who will need to make strides this year but has the skill set to do it.
Looking ahead:
Everyone knows the Henoc Muamba's, Anthony Parker's, and Matt O'Donnell's of the Draft Class. I would like to bring up some names that you might have heard about and forgot or maybe never knew. Picking the first 4 is easy, picking the last 4 of the day is much, much harder.
BC enters the weekend with 5 picks. Their first chance to select comes in the first round at third overall. From there they sit back until the third round and select nineteenth overall. Their last three picks come at 26, 34, and 42. Don't worry if your math is off because some media outlets count the Calgary forfeited pick as being #22 while others bump #22 down to Toronto. Hope they decide one year which way will become the standard.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Philip Blake (Baylor, C/LT) go to the West Coast after their time spent scouting Danny Watkins. Building depth for the future and being able to work with it is a key there. Moe Petrus (UConn, C) could be another futures pick that may or may not draw NFL interest next year. Currently he is ranked in the top ten for centers, one spot ahead of Blake, but the average NFL draft has only 5 or so selected. Alex Krausnick-Groh (Calgary, C) is a three year starter with the Dinos and could draw interest.
Jadon Wagner (BYU, LB) is another one that could fit the profile in BC. I know some BC fans will go "not another LB" but to create the competition it would make sense. Yurichuk, Gesse and Wagner could turn into a nice trio of defenders.
Craig Butler (Western Ontario, S) could take over the empty spot left by the Tad Crawford departure and was an active ball hawk in the OUA. He should be available when BC returns to the table in the 4th. Jeff Hecht (Saint Mary's, S) could be another second half of the draft target. He is a tweener that played as a linebacker for the majority of his stint with the Huskies but projects more as a safety in the CFL. Another option could be Michael Carter (Maryland, DB). He should be a later round pick that doesn't come with a lot of stats in tow but has speed to burn and could make an impact on special teams early. Michael put up great numbers at the JuCo level and timed at a 4.33 at the JuCo combine before ending up at Maryland.
Jack Bedell
One fact flying under the radar of late is just how young, fast, and aggressive the Lions' have gotten on special teams and defence the last couple of seasons. You could really see some of that roster overhaul coming to fruition down the stretch last season. As B.C. began to blend all that athleticism with game experience on the back nine of their schedule, the wins started to stack up, and the team made a heck of a playoff run after a dismal start.
I don't see any reason for the Lions to back off their recent draft strategies this Sunday when they're on the board. With one Muamba already on the roster, Safety Cauchy, you have to figure St. FX LB Henoc Muamba would be a prime pick for B.C. if he's still on the board in the third spot when they're on the clock. He'd certainly bring a high-motor and textbook aggression to the Lions' D and teams.
Bishop's Junior Turner might be another possibility in the same vein for B.C. Turner showed off some of the same kind of speed his brother, Argos' WR Steven Turner, possesses during his e-camp testing. He'd be an impact player on kick coverages right away, and might work himself into the rush end rotation pretty quickly a la Saskatchewan's Shomari Williams last season.
And since it's the CFL Canadian Draft, you can't overlook the prospect of the Lions going o-line with their early picks. Several quality players should be available in the first two rounds if B.C. were to go that way, Baylor's Phil Blake and Tulsa's Tyler Holmes to name a couple.

The Alliance's new board of directors held elections of its executive board at the organization's annual conference in Ponte Vedra, Florida. The executive board will lead and direct Alliance activities for the year ahead.
Kevin Gillick was elected chairman of the Alliance. As head of corporate marketing for the Datacard Group, Kevin is responsible for worldwide marketing activities associated with the company's broad range of identity solutions, card personalization and card life cycle management systems. Kevin has represented Datacard at Alliance meetings and events since its inception, and has served on the board of directors since 1999.
"This is an exciting time for this organization and this industry," said Gillick. "The Alliance members and board will work together with Randy Vanderhoof, our energetic and very capable executive director, to expand our programs aimed at advancing the use of smart card technology in both existing and new markets."
Outgoing Alliance chairman Paul Beverly, president, Americas for Axalto, said, "The last two years have seen a significant uptake of smart cards in the United States, and the Smart Card Alliance played an important role in laying the foundation for that growth.

Movie of the Week: Ender's Game | What Do You Want?
When I was looking for a book to read a while ago Silke offered me her copy of Ender's Shadow. Unfortunately she couldn't find her copy of Ender's Game, the first novel in the series. As a result I never read any of these books despite her recommendation. But when I saw the first trailer for the film adaptation I remembered the title and decided to watch the movie.
In the year 2086 a strike force of an alien insectoid race called the Formics attack Earth and kill millions of humans. Only when the desperate kamikaze attack of a single commander destroys one of the enemies carrier ships the invading force is somehow stopped. Ever since humanity almost lost this war they are preparing for a final confrontation with the Formics. To gain an advantage over the enemy humanity has started a program to find a new brilliant commander who will lead their forces. As children can process information much faster and more natural than adults young teenagers are trained as soldiers in a merciless regime designed to find the smartest leader among them. Andrew "Ender" Wiggin is one of these child soldiers. His tactical skills are amazing, because he can sense how to break an enemy to avoid all futures confrontations. But Ender is greatly troubled by his own abilities because in the process of understanding an enemy he always develops sympathy for them. When Earth's military forces are approaching the home world of the Formics Ender's superiors have to decide whether Ender is the commander that they are looking for who can save humanity from this threat once and for all.
Ender's Game is a well made Science Fiction movie with excellent special effects and an interesting story. At the same time Ender's struggle with his own daemons adds a human aspect. I definitely enjoyed watching it and will try to get my hands on the book.

CAMBS: Transexual and transvestite jailed for raping woman after attacking her friend
A TRANSEXUAL and a transvestite raped a woman after she saw them savagely attack a man in his own home.
Clare Lawton, of Ditton Walk, Cambridge, and Peter Steel, of Sackville Close, Cambridge, tied up the woman's friend with an electric cord and threatened him with a samurai sword in his flat in Waterbeach.
The terrified woman agreed to go to Steel's flat in Sackville Close, Cambridge where the pair raped the woman in August last year.
They were found guilty of rape, inflicting grievous bodily harm, burglary and unlawful wounding following a trial at Cambridge Crown Court earlier this year.
Steel was also found guilty of damaging property.
Lawton, 43, who was born a man but has been on hormone therapy, was jailed for a total of 16 years.
Steel, 38, who is also known as Tanya, was sentenced to 17 years – with the 13 year sentencing for rape to be "indeterminate" due to him being considered a danger to the public.
Judge Gareth Hawkesworth said their crimes had been sadistic and that it was hard to imagine that they belonged to the "same human race".
Detective Constable Nicola Lamport said: "This was an horrific ordeal for the victim who was in fear for her life.
"She tried to protect her friend who had been savagely beaten, but ended up in a terrifying situation.
"The length of prison sentences handed down by the court shows that such behaviour will not be tolerated and offenders face a substantial time behind bars."

Meet Leo: Cross Cultural Adventurer and Peer Project Mentor
Home / Our Stories / Mentor Stories / Meet Leo: Cross Cultural Adventurer and Peer Project Mentor
Leo came to Canada from Odessa in southern Ukraine when he was 14 years old. He arrived with his parents and younger brother, but much of his family still live in the Ukraine, which has been plagued by fighting and violence over the last two years. While most of the fighting has been in the Eastern Ukraine, the news from his family in the South was not good.
"The stories they tell us was very terrifying – I never though this would happen," says Leo.
Leo didn't know anybody in Canada when he first arrived in Toronto, and found himself in the English as a Second Language (ESL) class with other kids from around the world.
"I had students from Korea, students from Japan, Iran…Ukraine and Russia – so I had a lot of exposure to different cultures, which really showed what Toronto and Canada is like," says Leo.
Leo found it very important to learn about Canadian culture and customs, but these were things he realized he couldn't learn just in an ESL class.
"It was a lengthy process, but by the time I was done high school I was very well adjusted," says Leo.
When Leo was 22, he joined the Canadian Forces along with his younger brother. He was mentored by older members of the Forces, and learned discipline, integrity and how to manage tough situations. Having grown up in different communities and successfully adjusted to change, Leo gained a valuable set of skills that he could share.
Leo wanted to work with youth and looked at several mentoring programs to get involved with. He settled on The Peer Project because of the great work they do, and the way they take the time to match their mentors and mentees based on shared interests, location, and need.
"[My mentee] literally lives just down the street from me, which is amazing because it makes us that much closer," says Leo. "Our communication is just that much more open, especially in the beginning because we were so close geographically."
Off on Adventures
For their first activity, Leo and his mentee went rock-climbing. It was a new experience for Leo's mentee, and he loved it. It became our regular thing, says Leo. The duo got along long right away and have been taking off on adventures ever since. Their latest adventure was to the Elora Gorge, north of London, to go camping and ride rapids with inner tubes. "It was exhilarating!" says Leo.
"We have a lot of things in common, but also a lot we can draw from each other – we are a great team," says Leo.
Leo said he gives it his all, knowing that it is someone else's kid and that his mentee is always looking up to him.
"I had to be on my very best behavior," says Leo "but he draws out the very best parts of me."
"I am very blessed to have him in my life."

Etymology: not stated [spotted (L)]
Anopheles punctimacula is one of 24 unplaced species within the Arribalzagia Series, Laticorn Section of the Anopheles subgenus Anopheles. The species has two synonyms—strigimacula Dyar & Knab described from Mexico, and venezuelae Evans from Venezuela. Anopheles punctimacula is often confused with the morphologically similar taxa An. calderoni Wilkerson, An. malefactor Dyar & Knab and An. guarao Anduze & Capdevielle. Recently, An. malefactor was elevated from synonymy with An. punctimacula, and additional cryptic taxa have since been discovered, closely-related to An. malefactor and to An. calderoni, suggesting that the taxonomy of these Neotropical Arribalzagia species are far from resolved. In An. punctimacula populations collected in Panama and Costa Rica, six independently evolving molecular lineages were determined using nuclear rDNA and mtDNA COI gene sequences.
Type locality: Colon, Canal Zone, Panama
ADULT (illustrated): Thorax: Upper mesepimeron without pale scales. Abdomen: Abdominal segments with erect or semi-erect posterolateral scale tufts. Wing: Costal vein with a small subcostal dark spot at junction with subcostal vein; postsubcostal pale spot on the costal vein contiguous with the corresponding spot on vein R1; sector pale spot interrupted by accessory sector dark spot. Legs: Fe and Ti speckled with abundant large pale spots; Ta-III5 usually with a dark band or spot.
LARVA: Head: Seta 2-A truncate; seta 3-C 3-8 branched; seta 4-A long with lateral branches. Thorax: Seta 1-P branched; setae 9–12-P single. Abdominal segments: Seta 1 palmate with leaflets notched or distinctly serrate, more developed in segments III-VII. Terminal segments: Seta 1-X not inserted on the saddle, sometimes in a notch on the margin of the saddle; tergal plates 3.0 x wider than long.

An. punctimacula s.s. COI (Panama HQ622626); An. malefactor COI (Panama HQ622625); An. calderoni COI (Colombia HQ642964-70, Ecuador HQ642971-74); ITS2: (HQ622618-HQ622622).
Preferred immatures sites of Anopheles punctimacula s.l. immatures are often found amongst vegetation along the partially or completely shaded margins of clear water streams or swamps. In Ecuador, An. punctimacula s.l. immatures were positively associated with high levels of dissolved oxygen in the larval habitats.
In Panama, An. punctimacula s.s. is associated with jungle habitats and reportedly fly long distances in search of suitable hosts. Although it has been found naturally infected with Plasmodium parasites in Panama, An. punctimacula s.s. is not considered a primary vector. However, at high altitudes in Ecuador, Peru and southwestern Colombia, female Anopheles punctimacula s.l. is regarded as a primary malaria vector—females are highly attracted to humans and can be found in high numbers, feeding and resting in houses. Anopheles punctimacula s.l. are known also to feed on livestock and can be easily collected in light traps.

A supposed hunting accident becomes a dangerously complicated murder investigation in Stay Hidden, the intricately-plotted new thriller from Paul Doiron featuring Maine Game Warden Mike Bowditch.
A woman has been shot to death by a deer hunter on an island off the coast of Maine. To newly promoted Warden Investigator Mike Bowditch, the case seems open and shut. But as soon as he arrives on remote Maquoit Island he discovers mysteries piling up one on top of the other.
The hunter now claims he didn't fire the fatal shot and the evidence proves he's telling the truth. Bowditch begins to suspect the secretive community might be covering up the identity of whoever killed the woman, known as Ariel Evans. The controversial author was supposedly writing a book about the island's notorious hermit. So why are there no notes in her rented cottage?
The biggest blow comes the next day when the weekly ferry arrives and off steps the dead woman herself. Ariel Evans is alive, well, and determined to solve her own "murder" even if it upsets Mike Bowditch's investigation and makes them both targets of an elusive killer who will do anything to conceal his crimes.
A native of Maine, bestselling author PAUL DOIRON attended Yale University, where he graduated with a degree in English. The Poacher's Son, the first book in the Mike Bowditch series, won the Barry award, the Strand award for best first novel, and has been nominated for the Edgar, Anthony, and Macavity awards in the same category. He is a Registered Maine Guide specializing in fly fishing and lives on a trout stream in coastal Maine with his wife, Kristen Lindquist.
Praise for Stay Hidden:
"Outstanding." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Doiron captures the stark beauty of his setting without averting his eyes from the sick and starving wildlife, the rancorous feuds among the lobstermen or the homicidal impulses that push islanders off the deep end."—New York Times Book Review
"Doiron is at his finest…a marvel of a thriller…filled with unpredictable twists and a cast of believable characters." —Shelf Awareness
"Maine author Paul Doiron provides readers yet another sharp twist."—Portland Press Herald
"The extraordinary sense of place makes this Doiron's strongest novel yet." —Booklist (starred review)
"A bona fide contender for best crime novel of the year." —Ryan Steck, The Real Book Spy
Praise for the Mike Bowditch mysteries:
"The characters are so well-drawn you can almost reach out and shake their hands, and the rural landscape is so vividly portrayed that the reader can smell wildflowers, marvel at the swarms of fireflies and feel the sting of the blood-thirsty insects. But the author's finest achievement is the evolution of Mike Bowditch himself." —Bruce DeSilva, Associated Press on Knife Creek
"Doiron [makes] the Maine woods live and breathe… Multidimensional characters and a high level of suspense help make this a winner." —Publishers Weekly (starred review) on The Precipice
"Gripping . . . Doiron has reached a new level in his craft, putting him, without a doubt, among the best crime writers working today." —Portland Press Herald
"Breathless pacing, dark humor, wildlife, and vivid characters." —Boston Globe on Widowmaker
"Paul Doiron is shaping up as the Tony Hillerman of the east. . . . presenting central characters who are brave and brainy but all too human and fallible . . . [Doiron's] storytelling is always enthralling." —Toronto Star

Shareholders October 2020
From The Dean: DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION AT SPU
At the beginning of fall, we are yet again at a critical moment in our nation. The news continues to tell stories of racial pain, police brutality, injustice in the legal system, and mounting tensions. SPU is committed to deeply integrating diversity goals into the fabric of the institution, because the University values the representation and inclusion of diverse individuals in all our academic endeavors. In SBGE, our mission and our Christian values direct us to advance human flourishing and to see the image of God in each person. This cannot just be a belief without actions. We cannot say that we value the image of God in all people and then ignore our policies, hiring practices, and curriculums that perpetuate systemic racism. We need to uncover anything that promotes racial injustice and change it.
I am thankful for our students who help me to see better and do better, and for the leadership of our Vice Provost for Inclusive Excellence Sandra Mayo. I encourage you to read her Q&A in this issue as she explains some of the changes we have made and are continuing to make as an institution. We want SBGE students to enter the workforce equipped to right historical wrongs through love and justice. This is what companies and organizations need and want right now.
We are deeply committed to the lifelong work of anti-racism, and I hope this issue encourages you on your own journey.
Ross Stewart
A CONVERSATION WITH SANDRA MAYO, VICE PROVOST OF INCLUSIVE EXCELLENCE
During the 2015–16 school year, SPU students put forward a petition asking for changes to support and empower students of color at SPU. One of their requests was for a diversity officer, which was how Sandra Mayo came to the University in 2017, then as the vice president of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Now as the vice provost for inclusive excellence, Dr. Mayo continues to develop an integrated vision and shared responsibility for diversity at SPU. We had a Zoom conversation with Dr. Mayo about the work she's doing at SPU, some of the challenges, and where she finds hope.
Why did you accept the position at Seattle Pacific?
I was impressed that SPU was hosting open forums [about race] and that the conversation was a community conversation. That spoke volumes to me. In my early interview with President Martin, he said, "I'm looking for someone to partner with in this work." I had never heard anyone say that before. Most of the time, institutions are looking for someone to fill this role because things have not gone well, and they're in crisis mode. That phrasing said, "OK, you're not trying to just put someone in the role and say, 'Fix the problem.'" You're saying, "How are we going to journey together?" For me, that was pretty remarkable and fairly rare in this work.
What are some of the changes that the Office of Inclusive Excellence is working on now? How will it affect the curriculum?
The curricular work started well before I arrived on campus. One of the things that students had been asking for was a required course that explores issues of diversity and inclusion, and confronts historical legacies and systems that repeat patterns of exclusion. In 2017, SPU implemented Cultural Understanding and Engagement course requirements (CUE).
On a department level, our history program just went through a whole revamp of their program to better address these issues. Our honors program did a complete overhaul in addressing both the curriculum and the structure of the program. And every academic department is working on a departmental readiness evaluation (DRE) to assess their own department's progress around diversity and hiring practices to recruit and retain faculty of color.
One of the things I'm excited about is that my area is expanding, and our Faculty Life office is now coming under the umbrella of the Office of Inclusive Excellence. As we're thinking about supporting faculty in their primary roles as teachers and researchers, there will be greater opportunities to better integrate principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion, across the board.
How does your faith inspire you in this role?
There's a quote that I refer to quite often, which says, "You'll never look into the eyes of someone who's not loved by God." I keep that quote close, because we live in divisive times. It's easy to see others as the opposition, but the heart of this work is about reconciliation and repair. As a Christian university, we are committing to this work — not because it is the politically correct thing to do or because it's receiving national attention — but with a deep recognition that collectively, we have fallen short in terms of honoring the dignity of all individuals, particularly people of color. We have a responsibility as part of our calling as Christians to ensure that we preserve that imago dei — that image of God in each person.
What is difficult about this work?
The biggest challenge is historical inertia. How do you work against the momentum of hundreds of years of practices of racism? Good intentions are not enough. It won't happen in a workshop. It's really about removing institutional barriers and systemic biases. What we're talking about is every person committing to life-long learning and then taking action. Short of that, we continue to return to this work with little progress.
What gives you hope about what's happening at SPU?
I keep my hope in who we are as a community. I know there's a desire to see this work grow and take hold and really make a difference for our students. When faculty, staff, and administrators hear the pain of our students. When they hear students saying they don't see themselves in the curriculum. That is something they take seriously. Our shared commitment to students will help us to move forward in a positive direction.
OP-ED AND NEW BOOK FROM DR. BRENDA SALTER MCNEIL
Brenda Salter McNeil, associate professor of reconciliation studies, penned a powerful op-ed for The Seattle Times in June called "'United' States has never been honest about how hateful it is". Dr. McNeil recently released her book, Becoming Brave: Finding the Courage to Pursue Racial Justice Now, and was recently interviewed in SPU Stories.
RECOMMENDED READING (AND VIEWING)
Anti-racism is a lifelong journey, and education is an important ongoing step. We asked staff, alumni, and students about the books and films they've found enlightening. Here are some recommendations:
Slavery by Another Name: The Reenslavement of Black Americans from the Civil War to World War II by Douglas A. Blackmon
Worse than Slavery: Parchman Farm and the Ordeal of Jim Crow Justice by David Oshinsky
Cedric Davis MBA '08, senior philanthropic advisor at the Seattle Foundation, chair of SPU Board of Trustees
Two books that have greatly shaped my thinking about the history of Black Americans are Slavery By Another Name, a Pulitzer Prize winner, and Worse Than Slavery. Both books explore the details of how Black folks went from being enslaved by slaveholders to being enslaved by the criminal justice system. What I learned from this troubling history is that injustice is like energy. You can't cancel or kill out energy; it's transferred from one thing to another. We can eliminate an injustice, but unless we are careful and watchful and have someone eradicating these oppressive systems, it will transfer to something else. We need to eradicate the racist, oppressive structures that those in power continue to build into our society.
How to Be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi
Joshua Cooper '13, CPA and manager specializing in diversity and inclusion at PwC, SBGE Executive Advisory Board member
Today, it is not enough to be "not racist," you must be antiracist. How to Be an Antiracist is an eye-opening personal story that helps readers go from being aware of racism to actively dismantling racism. This book does a phenomenal job of showing how different dimensions of identity intersect with racism, including class, gender, sexuality, and more. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand the social power construct of race and how it either advantages or disadvantages them in their everyday life, but more importantly to anyone who wants to be able to identify and oppose racism in our systems and interpersonal interactions. This book will send you on a lifelong journey to unlearn what has been ingrained in you since birth. As Ibram X. Kendi says, "We can unknowingly strive to be a racist. We can knowingly strive to be an antiracist. Like fighting an addiction, being an antiracist requires persistent self-awareness, constant self-criticism, and regular self-examination."
The Vintage Book of African American Poetry: 200 Years of Vision, Struggle, Power, Beauty, and Triumph From 50 Outstanding Poets edited and with an introduction by Michael S. Harper and Anthony Walton
Kate Barker, Program Coordinator in the Center for Applied Learning
I had the opportunity to spend two days at the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C., last summer. The experience was profound. The space itself is a physical experience of going back through African American history, and going deep. It's painful and grievous. The architecture of the building brings you up to a place of reflection, before rising up to a celebration of Black lives and culture. I picked up a few books from the gift shop at the end of my too-short visit, one of which is The Vintage Book of African American Poetry: 200 Years of Vision, Struggle, Power, Beauty, and Triumph From 50 Outstanding Poets. This collection of poetry helps me listen to the voices of today in light of the choir of lyrical voices from the past 200 years. I recommend it as a way to better understand America today.
The Color of Compromise: The Truth About the American Church's Complicity in Racism by Jemar Tisby
Sandra Mayo, Vice Provost for Inclusive Excellence
For Christians who care about racism in the church and in our country, I highly recommend reading The Color of Compromise: The Truth About the American Church's Complicity in Racism. We invited Jemar Tisby to speak to a packed room on campus Jan. 22, 2020, about the connection between the church and racism throughout American history. The lecture and the book are both compelling and provide practical steps for Christians to take in fighting their own complicity in institutional racism both individually and corporately.
Film: I Am Not Your Negro, directed by Raoul Peck and narrated by Samuel L. Jackson
Kathleen Cochran, SBGE Executive Assistant
After the murder of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor, I reflected upon James Baldwin, whose writings on racism reshaped my views in college. I reread The Fire Next Time and came across a documentary, I Am Not Your Negro, inspired by James Baldwin's unfinished manuscript, Remember This House, a collection of notes and letters written by Baldwin in the mid-1970s. The manuscript chronicles Baldwin's life through the civil rights movement, recounting the lives of his friends and civil rights leaders Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, and Medgar Evers. Peck's documentary uses both excerpts from this unfinished manuscript along with Baldwin's published works and various television clips.
I Am Not Your Negro is a portrait of Baldwin's life and more broadly of America's ongoing racial dilemma. It is not an easy-to-watch, feel-good movie, but it is the opposite of despairing.
Baldwin never seems to give up in the face of insurmountable obstacles, challenging us all as well. "Not everything that is faced can be changed," he said. "But nothing can be changed until it is faced."
Film: Just Mercy, co-written and directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, and starring Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Foxx
Bonnie Tran, junior, business administration major and vice president of talent management of SPU's Student Investment Fund
As an international student from Vietnam, I was shocked by America's diverse population when I arrived in 2015. Where I was born and raised, people look just like me. Back then, I didn't understand what racism felt like or what microaggressions sounded like; but throughout my time at SPU, I explored topics like race, justice, love, mercy, and homelessness. My favorite learning experience was when SPU held a screening of Just Mercy back in January 2020. The movie is based on lawyer Bryan Stevenson's memoir of the same name. The film centers on the trial of Walter McMillian, aka "Johnny D," a Black man who was wrongfully convicted and sentenced to death for the murder of a white woman in Monroeville, Alabama in the 1980s.
It was an emotional film that shed light on some of the disparities and injustices present in the legal system. I recommend watching the original 60-Minutes clip from 1992, which is referenced in the movie. I re-watched this movie with my Vietnamese family over the summer, and it taught us many valuable lessons about racism and the legal system that we did not learn about in Vietnam.

ACLU ATTORNEY CAPTIVATES STUDENTS AT DEAN'S SPEAKER SERIES
Twyla Carter, a senior staff attorney with the ACLU national office in New York who used to work for the King County Department of Public Defense, spoke to students as part of the SBGE Dean's Speaker Series in March.
Her lecture to students is well-worth watching or listening to as she unpacks some of the disparities in the criminal legal system. "All it takes to be my [public defense] client is to be poor and have someone make a public accusation against you. That's it," she said.
Carter talked about the right to representation by a lawyer, race disproportionality in the criminal legal system, and bail reform. "You know the bail system is flawed when a person who might actually be a danger to the community for real, for real, has the money to pay to get out of jail, but a poor person who throws a rock through the window cannot," she said. "People plead guilty to get out of jail ... and then the collateral consequences from that conviction follow you around in this country for the rest of your life."
Carter implored students to educate themselves about issues in the criminal legal system. "I need you to really think about this. Because these are some of the changes that I need you all to make as you move forward with your careers and your lives as adults."

← Rangers steal Trouba away from Winnipeg
Flyer insanity signing Hayes might impact Rangers with Kreider →
How Trouba fell into Gorton's lap
Posted on June 18, 2019 by Derek Felix
It never made any sense from the beginning. When the Rangers announced the trade last night for Jacob Trouba, the return the Winnipeg Jets got was for a better description, severely lacking.
So, how did they only wind up with Neal Pionk and the original number 20 pick in the first round that they sent to the Blueshirts with Brendan Lemieux to rent Kevin Hayes? Let's take a closer look as to why.
Winnipeg GM Kevin Cheveldayoff knew it was time to move Trouba. After completing a one-year contract in which the 25-year old defenseman made $5.5 million, he was a year away from unrestricted free agency in 2020. Considering that the Jets must sign young scoring forwards Patrik Laine and Kyle Connor to big extensions, they were backed into a corner.
With other key decisions coming on Andrew Copp (RFA), who ironically enough is one of Trouba's closest friends due to playing together since they were kids, they couldn't afford the expected $7.5 million average the Group II American defenseman will command. For Rangers GM Jeff Gorton, who has more cap space available, it was a no-brainer.
"We're certainly getting a really good player…it's exciting." – #NYR GM Jeff Gorton on acquiring Jacob Trouba
— New York Rangers (@NYRangers) June 18, 2019
"He's a big defenseman, he's 25 years old, he can play against the best players, he has offense, he can kill penalties, he's in the prime of his career…we jumped on it."
– #NYR GM Jeff Gorton on Trouba pic.twitter.com/567wxBVn7s
What about the other side? How did the Jets go from having so many interested suitors to them suddenly dropping out due to a complex situation that helped Gorton land the top pair right defenseman? None of the teams were permitted to talk to Trouba about signing him. So, instead of getting a much better return, Winnipeg basically got stuck due to other interested teams backing out.
Elliotte Friedman said on radio today before the Trouba trade that a lot of teams were in on Trouba and that the Jets were asking for a lot.
In a separate hit after the trade, he said multiple teams told him their package was better than what the Rangers gave up.
— James (@Account4hockey) June 18, 2019
Basically, the Rangers got lucky here. That's why Pionk and the original Winnipeg first round pick were enough for Gorton to steal Trouba. He still must be signed. It's just a matter of time before it happens. As for Trouba, this wasn't a case of him disliking playing for the Jets. On the contrary, he enjoyed his time spent there which included helping them beat the Predators in a sexy Western Conference second round match-up last year to advance to the first ever Conference Final in team history.
There was just no way for Winnipeg to keep a good player, who should definitely help improve the Rangers back end. Something Cheveldayoff alluded to in a piece that appeared on NHL.com.
"This was a necessary first step for us to take and we'll move on to the next," Jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff said. "With the opportunity not to get a long-term deal (with Trouba) in Winnipeg here, we just felt it was best to open up the door to the possibility of trading him and today's the day we finalized it."
We'd love to keep everybody, and we'd love to have enough cap space to sign everybody to the extensions that they deserve. We'd love to take another swing with the group we have here, but there's realities in a hard-cap world, and we're fortunate to have some great young players in our organization."
And so, Trouba moves from Winnipeg to the Big Apple. Once he signs on the dotted line, he'll become a key veteran who is a big part of the Rangers rebuild moving forward. Projected new partner Brady Skjei is familiar with him from their days representing Team USA.
"Has been one of my best buddies for the last 8 years." – @BradySkjei is 😃 to be #NYR teammates with @JacobTrouba! pic.twitter.com/dexRdiWEl4
How it all shakes out depends on the rest of the summer. Get ready for Friday night. The main attraction comes early on in the highly anticipated first round of the 2019 NHL Draft. The Hudson rival Devils are expected to select top American center Jack Hughes, which would leave highly rated Finnish forward Kaapo Kakko for the Rangers to grab at number two.
Having already signed Russian imports Vitali Kravtsov, Igor Shesterkin and Yegor Rykov, the Ranger organization are taking the necessary steps to becoming a real player in the future. Gorton has a tough decision regarding power forward Chris Kreider. The 28-year old veteran will enter the final year of a contract that pays him a cap average of $4.625 million through 2020. Both Gorton and new Team President John Davidson must decide whether it's best to keep Kreider by extending him to a new deal that'll range in the neighborhood of between $6.5 to $7 million AAV.
If they decide not to keep him, it's possible Kreider could get moved as soon as this weekend. Who knows? They could decide to shop him for another first round pick and a prospect. Especially if it means filling another team need at center behind Mika Zibanejad. Youngsters Filip Chytil, Lias Andersson and Brett Howden aren't ready for a top six role at the center position.
Much also depends on what else they decide to do. If you view the new Rangers blueline, the projected top three right D are Trouba, Tony DeAngelo and Adam Fox. If that's indeed the case, it could be Adios Kevin Shattenkirk. Ditto for serviceable vet Brendan Smith.
Freeing up more cap space could still mean a run at Artemi Panarin. We'll have to wait and see what their plans are.
