Their mini album has been out for a couple of weeks now and a week ago, LAGOON also released a digital single with one track.
I like this song a lot. The opening really has that "new beginnings/good days to come" sort of sound to me. Miori has a lot of emotion in her lyrics in this! It's a wonderful composed song overall, mostly pretty mellow with just the right amount of energy in the choruses. I think this song is a really good representation of everything LAGOON aspires to be. It's a great title track and opening track for the mini album. This song is still no Rhapsody in White for me, although it's pretty close.
While this song doesn't have anything that gets it stuck in my head so far, it's one I enjoy listening to! It's another song with great composition. The vocals and music match each other really nicely. I think everyone's talents are shown in a way that strengthens all pieces of this song! It's a really heartfelt rock song. This is another example of what LAGOON is about.
This is just a pretty solid mini album because I am also very impressed with this song. It has enough tempo switches in it to keep it interesting and every part seems to suit the others. It shows Miori's vocal range as well as her ability to handle most varieties of music. I think this is what LAGOON has been aspiring to do in previous songs when trying to switch between beats and song structure. This is a really good girl rock/pop song.
One of the most upbeat songs on the mini album for sure. There's a lot of energy in this and I imagine the girls will have a lot of fun with this track when they perform it on stage. I just like this song less than the others for some reason. It has the great nostalgia vibe happening and it's another example of what LAGOON has been trying to pull off in b-sides of their singles. They did it much better here than previously. However, it just feels like a typical/done before sort of song, if that makes sense. No part of it blows me away or surprises me even though it's a nice track. Maybe I expected a sadder song given the name? Hard to tell.
Not a bad song, but it feels like they've already done this one! There's a great instrumental segment in the middle that I'm glad to hear because it definitely shows off the guitar skills. Miori's dainty voice is pretty but I feel like it would have been more effective in this song with some grit added. This seems like a song to take vocal risks on and doing that would make it awesome. Instead it's just okay.
Overall, this mini album gets a 3.6 star rating. It's a pretty good mini album, but I know they can and will have stronger performances. LAGOON is finding their groove and this is completely on the right track!
This song has a lot going on but it's all AWESOME. Miori's voice almost sounds cutesy in this song despite the fact that it's heavier than most of their stuff. Everything is on par. The energy is great, the bass and drums are perfect, the guitar riffs work so well with all of it. This definitely deserved its own release!


On Lifetime tonight Bring It! airs with an all new Friday January 23, season 2 premiere called "Miami Heat is Back," and we have your weekly recap below. On tonight's episode, it's a brand new competition season and Miss D is determined to whip the Dancing Dolls into an unstoppable dance machine!
"Bring It!," produced by Pilgrim Studios, shines a spotlight on the elite world of hip-hop majorette competitions. Coach Dianna Williams (aka "Miss D") and her Dancing Dolls troupe refuse to lose, pushing themselves to the limit each week in the relentless pursuit of victory. Every pump, thrust and high kick on "Bring It!" highlights the triumphs and struggles of intense competition, where errors aren't tolerated, mediocrity isn't excused and only a win is acceptable.
Last competition season, The Dancing Dolls lost a lot more times than Miss D was actually comfortable with. So this upcoming season, the coach is going to put her dancers through the ringer. She has them running up and down steps like Rocky. And that's because her sole intent this season is beating the Miami Dance team, YCDT Supastarz. The same group that previously and technically had wiped the floor with them.
As for YCDT Supastarz, they are just as focused on winning as The Dancing Dolls. And they even brought in a secret weapon to help them win – guys. No one has ever seen a stance dance with guys so they're introducing a whole new level to the competition.
Meanwhile, Miss D, has been teaching her dancers new stances to keep up with the Miami team. However a recent Baby Dancing Doll that had graduated to the older class hasn't turned as well as Diana was hoping. Zatia wasn't quick enough in learning the new dance steps that she ended up getting cut the moment Diana took out her infamous clipboard.
And though her mother watched her practice from the window – she still took umbrage when her daughter was cut. So much so that she started to bag on the window and that unfortunately caught Diana's attention.
Miss D came out and to see who was banging on the window and what she found was an irate Tawantza. For Tawantza refuses to see why her daughter Zatia was cut and when she tried to fight with Diana about her the decision – Diana kicked Zatia off the team. Which wasn't fair to Zatia but even after she was asked to leave – Tawantza still thought her daughter had a future as one of The Dancing Dolls. So a firm kick was what she needed.
Later, though, Diana still had to deal with people getting in her face. Because the team from Miami decided to "drop by" all of sudden and use scare tactics to trip up her team. And, well, Miss D didn't give Tracey what she was looking for. Rather than fight with her or show how upset she was, the Miami team was kindly asked to leave seeing as they were still practicing.
Yet, Tracy never found out what they were dancing. For it seems Diana created a whole new dance just to make fun of Tracy. So, really, they both have tactics to undermine the other.
But Diana hadn't gone to someone else studio on the day before competition!
When the competition did roll around, Diana and Tracy ran into each other again. And at the time Diana had told her fellow competitor that it was not personal. Yet both of them had lied.
This competition was as personal as it got. And everyone knew it when the stand battle went down. The two team taunted each other throughout all of their dances and Tracy's team built a human pyramid that sent around on edge.
As for the dance was purposely targeted towards mocking Tracy, after she kind of had it coming by the way, that was a Grace Jones extravaganza. No really there was a Grace Jones/Tracy dancer that got run over by a baby dancing doll driving a toy car. Diana had included the baby dolls and the little girls brought in a cuteness factor. While the older girls stayed on point with their routine.
And in the end, The Dancing Dolls won the competition but Tracy swore YCDT Supastarz will be back. They had a fall and she said all dancers eventually experience one – that's not what matters. What should be counted is how they'll get back up from this setback.


September and October were not good months for me. Let me tell you. Labor Day I opened the door of my pantry and bottle of vinegar fell on my left foot. I doctored it with ice and pain medicine and it seemed to get better. Then, suddenly, it became worse. When I finally had the good sense to see a podiatrist, I was informed I had a little broken bone in my foot.
Then I woke up one morning and my hearing aid was in two pieces. I don't know how that happened. I place it under my pillow while I'm sleeping. Another mystery.
In October my sister in Florida passed way. Another dear friend of mine had a stroke. I'm sure by now, you know what my thorns in life were during those Autumn months.
Many have speculated as to the nature of Paul's thorn; it could have been a chronic physical ailment or perhaps a psychological problem His focus was not on what his thorn was, but rather on why God allowed it. He was able to boast about his weaknesses because he recognized that his condition provided a showcase for God's divine power to be displayed through his life.
If there are thorns in your life, don't worry, they are there for a purpose. They are there to show you that God will take care of you no matter how many thorns there are. Trust Him!
It is wonderful to have a day of thanksgiving once a year, but even more wonderful to be thankful every day of the year, even with our thorns.

LVMH Gets Backdoor Stake in Artsy by Merging with Private Equity Arm with Catterton
January 5, 2016 by Marion Maneker
Though it was surely not top of mind for Bernard Arnault, one of the outcomes of today's announcement that LVMH's private equity arm L Capital is merging with Catterton will be that Arnault once again owns a business in the art market.
Nearly two decades ago, Arnault sought a stake in Sotheby's. Then, eventually, he created the forerunner of Phillips when he tried to create third leading auction house with the help of Daniela Luxembourg and Simon de Pury.
Catterton led a $25m Series C round of fundraising for Artsy last March which allowed a senior partner in the firm to take a board seat.
Here's the New York Times on the L Capital merger with Catterton:
They say the new company, to be named L Catterton, will be the largest consumer-focused investment firm in the world, with some $12 billion in assets after several funds are expected to close on raising money this year, according to a statement issued Tuesday. The merger should be completed in several months, pending regulatory and investor approvals.
J. Michael Chu and Scott A. Dahnke, the managing partners at Catterton, will become the global co-chief executives at L Catterton, with headquarters in Greenwich, Conn., and London. L Catterton's partners will own 60 percent of the new firm, while LVMH and Groupe Arnault will jointly own the rest. The price and structure of the transaction were not disclosed. […]
L Capital was founded in 2001 with the mandate to invest in "affordable luxury" that was below the prices within LVMH's brands.
[…] According to its website, L Capital still maintains investments in other companies. L Real Estate began four years later to seek out luxury retail properties, including Miami's Design District.
Catterton was founded in 1989 and has grown to $5.5 billion in equity capital to deploy through leveraged buyouts and growth investments. Its brands penetrate the niche exercise market, counting Pure Barre, Peloton, CorePower Yoga, Flywheel and the workout clothing retailer Sweaty Betty among its investments. Catterton had invested in well-known American retailers such as P.F. Chang's, Restoration Hardware, Baja Fresh, Build-A-Bear Workshop and First Watch, and it holds stakes in Noodles & Company and Chopt

Is Germany Heading to a "September Surprise"?
by Vijeta Uniyal
https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/11040/is-germany-heading-to-a-september-surprise
Instead of hurting the AfD's electoral prospects, the smear campaign has ended up driving more voters toward the party.
Questioning the AfD's legitimacy on judicial and constitutional grounds has a two-pronged effect. It not only sows doubt in the minds of the undecided voters, but also scares away state employees, law enforcement officers, business owners and even law-abiding citizens from associating themselves with the AfD out of fear of government scrutiny and reprisals.
"I am ashamed that I am not brave enough to support the AfD publicly. But it would be professional suicide and I will never see my grandchildren again," confessed another anonymous German voter.
Stay at home instead of vote for the right-wing party, Alternative für Deutschland (AfD), is the last-minute advice Chancellor Merkel's chief of staff, Peter Altmaier, is giving to voters ahead of Sunday's election in Germany.
"Better not vote than to vote for the AfD," Merkel's powerful right-hand man told the German newspaper Bild on Tuesday. "The AfD are dividing our country. They are exploiting people's fears. Therefore, I believe that a vote for the AfD cannot be justified.
"These are just a few rabble-rousers who profit from all the reporting on them," he continued, urging the media to stop covering the AfD.

After 12 years of running the country, Chancellor Merkel and her lieutenant still do not understand real democracy. In a real democracy, the voters hold the elected representatives accountable, not the other way around.
Regardless of what one may think of Altmaier's skewed views, his frustration over the AfD's rising poll numbers is understandable.
Attempts by the German media to smear the AfD and its top leadership in the final stage of election campaign has backfired badly.
Just weeks ahead of the polls, the leading German newspapers produced a flurry of negative stories and hit-pieces portraying the AfD leaders as a bunch of migrant-hating "Islamophobes." Instead of hurting the AfD's electoral prospects, however, the smear campaign has ended up driving more voters toward the party. Even the left-wing British newspaper The Guardian had to admit that "a series of scandals appear to have galvanized rather than weakened the chances of the far-right in next Sunday's election." The AfD could end up becoming the sole and legitimate opposition in the next German parliament, the newspaper added:
Should Merkel and her main challenger, Martin Schulz, agree to continue governing in a "grand coalition" between the two strongest parties, the AfD could lead the opposition in the Bundestag, a role that traditionally carries additional privileges, such as the presidency of the parliament's budget committee.
The AfD, polling around 12 percent in latest polls, is set to become the third largest party in the next German parliament.
Given this momentum, there is a concerted effort underway by members of Merkel's cabinet and the "establishment" parties to portray the AfD's opposition to the Refugee Policy as something unconstitutional or even illegal.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel's concern over the AfD's rising poll numbers are understandable, but in a democracy, it is the voters who hold their representatives accountable, not the other way around. Photo: Wikimedia Commons.
At the forefront of this campaign has been Merkel's Justice Minister, Heiko Maas. He has repeatedly urged the German domestic spy agency, Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz, monitor AfD's functionaries and backers. In the final week ahead of the election, Maas called "several parts of" AfD's election manifesto "illegal."
"The nationalist rhetoric being used by AfD politicians shows that one must assume that an attitude incompatible with Germany's constitution is not only present in the party base but also among its leaders," Martin Schulz, Merkel's present coalition partner and main electoral rival, told the German weekly Der Spiegel earlier this month.
This political witch-hunt is accompanied by a campaign from the mainstream media to stigmatize support for the AfD.
"To support the AfD publicly in Germany leads to social and economic ostracism. It is almost like admitting to being a witch in the Middle Ages," a German voter was quoted saying by the German broadcaster Deutsche Welle. "I am ashamed that I am not brave enough publicly to support the AfD. But it would be professional suicide and I will never see my grandchildren again," confessed another anonymous German voter.
That fear could explain why more than a third of German voters are still telling pollsters that they are "undecided" -- a surprisingly large number given the high stakes involved in this election. After the Brexit-upset and President Trump's surprise victory, one cannot entirely rule out a hidden AfD vote. If the AfD manages to rope in enough of these undecided voters, pollsters could be in for a September Surprise in this year's critically important election.

Germans have this one chance to get back their country.
Merkel will keep the borders open to people who do not like the west.
They have this one chance.
Then there is no chance at all!

Short answer to the author: not in terms of a shift in government.
The AFD gaining 10, 15 or even 20% won't change the overall outcome of next election at all since it will be Merkel heading next cabinet again. SPD will likely rack up enough votes to renew the grand coalition as junior partner. Greenies will be the stopgaps in case not.
Despite some in Merkel's party preferring to team up with the FDP this is NOT what she wants. A weakened partner fits here destructive agenda much better than a reassured new coalition partner with an own one opposing hers.
Michael Waugh • Sep 23, 2017 at 05:32
A good article. One wonders how confidential voting is in Germany if many are nervous about voting AfD. It is a pity that Merkel looks like remaining in power after the damage she has done to Germany and its people. I do hope that AfD has some influence in parliament by gaining 13% of the vote. Does Merkel ever read the press reports on immigrant damage in the country.
Judy Wall • Sep 22, 2017 at 22:42
Let us hope that the German voters deliver a surprise victory for AfD. It may be their last chance to oust or at least put a check on Merkle's disastrous immigration policy. The future of Europe is at stake. Surely some of them have noticed ???
Bisley • Sep 22, 2017 at 13:31
This should be a sign to the public that the major parties which comprise Germany's political establishment are out of control and using the powers of government to suppress any alternative opinion, or challenge to their rule. They are becoming increasingly lawless and tyrannical, as well as attempting to destroy the German culture and nation, and subjugate Germany to rule by the EU. Germans who wish to preserve a German nation, culture and identity need to understand that continuing to support "mainstream" political parties will reduce their nation to nothing more than an administrative subdivision of a future EU super-state.
JB Silver • Sep 22, 2017 at 12:27
May G-D Bless the Germans to have the cojones to vote out both Merkel and Schulz, and bring AfD into power.
And then help them rid their country of the millions of hostile Islamists.
Keep the lady Imam in her Berlin Mosque, and get rid of those who want to murder her, and to murder critics of Islam and Homosexuals, and to burn down Synagogues.
af • Sep 22, 2017 at 10:12
Schulz is Merkel-lite. So there is no real choice between the top two candidates. Beyond this truism, if the "far right" would be anti-muslim instead of anti-Jewish, they would doubtless poll far better. Yes, "anti-muslim" sounds so terrible. But soaring crime and welfare and the ultimate destruction of Germany (and France and Belgium, etc.) are OK to the idiots of Western Europe.
Martyn Marsh • Sep 22, 2017 at 10:08
Interesting article about the German election & the suppression of free speech. If my history serves me correctly didn't someone called Hitler do this in the 1930's. The AfD is not a banned party therefore why is Merkel's henchman threatening German voters & government employees, trying to use the security services to spy on the AfD's leadership & the rabid leftwing press going in to overdrive with its smear campaign. I thing the German voters should fear the rabid left as they are demonstrating all the signs of a dictatorship & lets not forget Merkel came from East Germany & olde communist habits die hard.
Jeff Page • Sep 22, 2017 at 08:56
Afd exploiting people's fears? Rather than Merkel's party view of letting into Germany even more murderers and rapists! People's votes should be private, why are they afraid to vote for Afd? It really doesn't make any sense, all they need to do if asked is to reply that it is their business who they voted for! There are always attacks by party, against party during an election, but surely the German people can see what has happened to their fellow citizens?
Many have been attacked by some of the immigrants they wanted to help. They have shown just how grateful they are and have given the German people an sight of things to come in the future should Merkel retain power!

Darts 'villain' Peter Manley 'wasn't going to invite rival Phil Taylor for tea'
One of darts' original pantomime villains, Peter Manley, has opened up about his frosty relationship with Phil Taylor after renewing his rivalry with the sport's greatest of all time.
The pair met on the burgeoning World Seniors circuit last year and could collide again when the Lakeside hosts the Seniors World Championship next month. Manley and Taylor were foes in the late 1990s and 2000s, meeting in the PDC World Championship final on three occasions. The Power won all three finals, two of them without dropping a set.
Their most infamous World final meeting came in 2002. As Taylor pinned the winning double, Manley stormed off stage. He eventually returned to boos from the crowd but his position as a villain of darts was fixed and he was regularly jeered at venues from then on. It was a role he not only accepted, but embraced in the years to come.

Of that infamous moment in an interview with Daily Star Sport, Manley explains: "He used to run left and right, all round the stage without shaking the opponent's hand [after winning tournaments].
"There were little niggly things that went on but I was young, I was still learning. I think that was Phil's seventh or eighth World title. It was my first or second World final. I just wasn't going to give him the pleasure.
"When he hit the double, I started walking off. But he turned round to shake my hand, he didn't run round the stage like I thought he would. But I wasn't there, I'd gone."
There were numerous other spicy meetings between the pair, but Manley insists he never held a grudge towards the tungsten titan.
"Phil always felt I had something against or whatever," he says. "It wasn't dislike. At the end of the day, I was just trying to do the best for myself. I wasn't going to invite Phil for Sunday tea and become close friends.
"He was the only player that I knew, if he'd got his A-game, I couldn't beat. You didn't go into the game with that attitude. It's just the knowledge that appears afterwards when you reflect back on the game.
"You always go into the game to win. I believed I could win at all times. Even the 7-0, there were three or four sets that were 3-2. It's hard to take but that's how good he was."
Manley certainly got under Taylor's skin. In an interview last year, The Power even confessed he wanted to belt 'One Dart' over the head with a shovel.
"Peter Manley was good, I enjoyed the banter with Peter," he said, reported the Mirror. "Now we get on really well and he makes me laugh. But at the time I didn't like him at all. As soon as he walked into a room I wanted to hit him with a shovel. It was horrible."

While the pair's relationship has thawed, Manley couldn't resist a cheeky dig ahead of their quarter-final at the World Seniors Matchplay in Hull.
"He's threatened to hit me over the head with a shovel, hasn't he?," he said at the time, referring to Taylor's interview. "I don't think he could lift it now."
Manley, the long-serving chairman of the Professional Darts Players Association (PDPA), is enjoying being among his old rivals on the Seniors circuit. The banter is still flying around the practice room, albeit without the edge of days gone by, he insists.
"You've still get loads of that," adds the 60-year-old. "But whereas back in the day, you meant some of it. Now, it really is banter because while I might be able to talk the talk, I can't walk the walk."
The World Seniors Darts Championship runs from February 9 to 12.

At 2:07 PM Eastern Time, a magnitude 2.1 earthquake shook the huge caldera (mouth) of the Yellowstone Super-Volcano. Tremors are typical, this was bigger.
According to the US Geological Survey, the quake struck northwest of Yellowstone Lake, which sits pretty much in the center of the volcano's caldera (mouth).

It is important to understand how massive this volcano is. Yelloswtone National Park is 56 MILES wide, and 84 MILES long. The map above shows the irregular but circular caldera. Given the size of the national park, you now understand that the mouth of this super volcano is almost half the size of Rhode Island!
According to geologists, Yellowstone erupts every 640,000 years. They determined this by sampling soil. Presently we are now BEYOND 640,000 years since the last major eruption. So, in layman's terms, it's overdue.
The graphic below, shows the eruption fallout; it covered almost the entire western United States! If an eruption were to take place today, that same area would again be wiped out! Those not killed outright, would be homeless.
What powers Yellowstone is a fearsome pool of Magma underground. The Magma Chamber is over 300 MILES wide! When it blows, the world -- literally the entire planet -- is affected!
There is NO IMMINENT ERUPTION. There has just been a relatively minor earthquake directly in the caldera. DO NOT PANIC. If action needs to be taken, you will be alerted by authorities well in advance. Just stay calm and be aware.
Recommendations by the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection offer the following tips that all residents take three simple preparedness steps: Get a kit, make a plan, and stay informed".* Learn how to protect your family and your home,in major crisis.

This Diwali cook Diwali 2010 treats with a difference. Besan Laadoos form an integral part of Diwali. It is one of the main sweets made especially on this occasion. Here's a recipe made easily in microwave for working ladies who have so much to do but so little time. Microwave is definitely a boon to mankind and this recipe as usual gets cooked in microwave with perfection.
Preparation: Besan should be sifted twice through the sieve for any lumps or coarse particles. Same should be done with the powdered sugar to remove any lumps.
Place ghee in a microwave safe bowl and keep it on high for around 1 minute. Add besan to this bowl and mix well. Keep it on High for 5 minutes. Stir once in between.
Remove out and mix it well. Keep it on High for 1 more minute and remove it out to mix well. Keep doing this for a couple of minutes till you get the desired results and tempting aroma. It won't take more than 5 minutes to achieve the results.
Finally remove this besan – ghee mixture in a plate and add powdered sugar. Mold it with hands in shape of laadoos. Garnish each laadoo with cashew nut (press one bit of cashew nut on the top of each laadoo).
Since this Diwali sweet is cooked in microwave, it requires very less ghee and sugar. Hence it is ideal for people who plan to diet and are worried about eating Diwali sweets.


A new IPI book maps the civic and political activism of youth in postrevolutionary Egypt and Tunisia. Who are the youth activists of Egypt and Tunisia? What are their ideas, and what types of action are they taking? As key protagonists of revolution in 2011, what capacity do they now have to sustain their political and civic engagement over the long term?
The book examines the competing narratives of the revolutions and the challenges of advancing the discourse of dignity and social justice in the face of heightened polarization and political turmoil.
Through a variety of interview-based case studies, the monograph charts the participation of youth in political parties and civil society organizations, and provides concrete examples of the obstacles they encounter as they seek to engage with the political system and their fellow citizens in Egypt and Tunisia today.
The author concludes with suggestions on how national and international stakeholders can engage with youth actors in the region to improve the chances for a consolidated transition to democracy.

Ramblings: Goaltending Duo in Florida, Gibson's Value, Coyotes/Panthers Trade (August 26)
by Michael Clifford on August 25, 2016
Roberto Luongo and James Reimer, Gibson's Fantasy Value, Arizona/Florida Trade, and More
As reported by George Richards of the Miami Herald on Wednesday, it appears as though Roberto Luongo is on track to start the season with the Florida Panthers. The 37-year-old had off-season hip surgery, and according to Mr. Richards, has been skating for about three weeks now. He has roughly seven more weeks to be ready for the start of the season.
Luongo has long been a fantasy favourite of mine, and of many others I assume. He has been one of the most consistent goalies of his generation, and from a fantasy perspective, he's been a safe option over the last few years when not paying a premium on draft day.
However good he may have been for fantasy owners, we, the offspring of our parents, need to be able to keep a divide between attachment to the help a player has provided us in the past, and what he can do for us this upcoming season. Emotions and reason: you gotta keep 'em separated.
James Reimer being signed to a five-year contract carrying an average annual value of $3.4-million would indicate to me that Reimer is not going to be used as a 20-25 start backup. With Luongo coming off a pretty serious surgery – any hip surgery for a goalie is serious, especially one of his age – and not getting a full off-season of training, I think Reimer could be closer to the 30-35 start range.
This is pretty important, as I would wager that Reimer will not be among the top-25 goalies drafted, unless there is a significant delay in Luongo's expected return. Florida was a pretty good team last year, and with the additions on defence like Keith Yandle, Jakub Kindl, and Jason Demers, the blue line is hugely upgraded from 2015-2016, even with the loss of Brian Campbell. They should be one of the top teams in the East.
I understand the trepidation with Reimer, as he's generally been inconsistent in his final numbers from year to year. The one thing I would say is that for the bulk of his Toronto career, he was playing behind a Toronto team whose defensive system could readily be described as "non-existent." I don't think it's much coincidence that for the most part, Reimer played reasonably well under Ron Wilson, Mike Babcock, and then in San Jose, and for the most part, played reasonably poorly under Randy Carlyle. He should be behind a well-structured team in Florida.
Given that his draft day cost should be fairly low with most of the fantasy world focused on drafting Luongo, I would be setting sights on grabbing Reimer as a third goalie. An at-worst league-average goalie playing behind a good team is valuable in fantasy, and I think that's a fair way to describe Reimer and his situation this year.
The late August trades in the NHL are always interesting. And by interesting, I mean infrequent. We did get one yesterday, though, as the Arizona Coyotes traded a second and third round pick to the Florida Panthers, who sent back Dave Bolland (and his amazingly atrocious contract), along with top Florida prospect Lawson Crouse:
Bolland and Lawson Crouse to Arizona for second and third pick next year #flapanthers
— Harvey Fialkov (@hfialkov) August 25, 2016
These are the details of the deal:
Official trade details: The #coyotes get Crouse/Bolland from #FlaPanthers for 2017 third (better of Ariz/DET pick) and 2018 second.
— Chris Johnston (@reporterchris) August 25, 2016
Also, Craig Custance of ESPN would add that if Crouse does not play for Arizona this year, that second-round pick becomes a third round pick.
On Florida's end, they get a couple of draft picks to help replenish the cupboard, which helps, considering they gave up one of their best prospects. More than that, though, shedding Bolland's contract is a big win for them. He had three years and $5.5-million annually left on his contract, and at this point, he's not even an NHLer (when he even returns is up in the air itself). The cap space that they're freeing up gives the Panthers a lot of flexibility, but moreover, they don't have to worry about making a major deal this year in order to free up space for the Jonathan Huberdeau extension that's coming down the pipe.
This probably concludes a pretty good summer for the Panthers. They've added a couple of picks over the next two drafts, bolstered the blue line, got insurance in net, and still have largely the same forward group from last season. Not bad.
Crouse gives the Arizona farm system just that much more depth. In general, I do think he's a bit overrated by some – I don't see him as a future top-liner, and think he eventually settles into a third line role, second at best – but even if he's "just" a third liner, that's a pretty big win for Arizona. They have to eat Bolland's Clarkson-lite contract, but they add a legitimate prospect in doing so.
It'll be interesting to see if Arizona has Crouse on the roster this year. Safely assuming Max Domi is their first line left winger, this muddles thing down the roster. Jamie McGinn was brought in through free agency, Tobias Rieder had a pretty good year for them last year (Author's added note: yes, he's still waiting on a contract), and now there's Crouse. Unless in deeper leagues, avoiding Rieder now is probably a good idea. I'm not sold on Crouse being on the roster this year – there's no reason to start his entry-level clock – but we'll have to wait and see.
This is a win-win for both teams, and for fantasy, I think this is good for dynasty Crouse owners. Crouse would have been blocked from a top-six role in Florida for at least two more years, and this probably gets him to a feature role faster. As for fantasy impact this season, I don't think there's much of one stemming from this trade.
One thing that fantasy owners can rely on, or as much as fantasy owners can rely on anything, is that outliers usually regress. A career 11-percent shooting player who shoots 5-percent in a single season is unlikely to repeat. A career .915 save percentage goalie who happens to post a .930 in a single season is unlikely to do that again. And so on.
With that in mind, I think there is cause for concern with John Gibson next year. There were 27 goalies who played at least 200 minutes while their team was short-handed in the 2015-2016 season. Of those 27 goalies, three posted a short-handed save percentage of at least .900: Brian Elliott at .907, Ben Bishop at .911, and Gibson at a whopping .931. Think about that for a second – Gibson's save percentage while his team was short-handed was higher than all but six regular starters last year at five-on-five. Gibson's short-handed save percentage of .931 was the same as Braden Holtby's at five-on-five. To think he'll repeat anything close to that is a big mistake.
A regression from that number to what was the median (.872), in a full 60 start season, would mean somewhere close to an additional 10 goals against. Even in his 40 start season, that would probably be around an additional seven goals against. In his 40 game season last year, if he had allowed just seven additional goals, it would have dropped his save percentage from .920 to .913, and his goals against would have risen from 2.07 to 2.25. Those are sizeable differences for fantasy.
As far as young goaltenders go, Gibson is one of the most highly-regarded, that there is no doubt. However, that save percentage while short-handed is going to come down, and even dropping to the median will have significant repercussions. On top of this, the new coaching staff in Anaheim (Carlyle and co.) is not known for instilling sound defensive hockey. There are a lot of red flags that concern me about Gibson's fantasy value this year. Given that he'll probably be one of the first 12 goalies off the board – or a G1 – I would do like I recommended with Elliott in an earlier Ramblings; either jump on guys like Schneider or Lundqvist a couple rounds earlier, or just wait and grab guys like Rask or Bobrovsky.
Just aside from fantasy hockey for a bit, one thing that caught my eye this week was the talk of giving the captaincy in Edmonton to Connor McDavid. As a standalone, I don't particularly have a problem with giving the captaincy to a young player like McDavid. Other young captains like Gabriel Landeskog, Vincent Lecavalier, and Steve Yzerman have done just fine, to understate things. The reason I don't really get this from Edmonton's perspective is this is the exact problem this franchise has had for about half a decade, aside from being completely unable to scout/draft/develop defencemen and goaltending.
Among the franchise's many problems, high expectations placed upon young players figures into the picture. It wasn't long ago that late-teen, early-twenty-somethings were expected to become a playoff team. That flamed out miserably.
Now, with the team (possibly?) trending in the right direction, they're going to put the captaincy on a teenager? Like Ryan Reynolds might say, "But why?" Whether McDavid is ready to handle the pressure of being the go-to guy for conflict resolution in the dressing room is irrelevant; it's a continuation of the problems that have been plaguing the Oilers for a while now.
Andrew Ference has a year left on his deal, and presumably the respect of the dressing room (whether he's in uniform this year is another question). Ryan Nugent-Hopkins has five years left, but the end of his tenure would put McDavid around 23-24 years old, and he would definitely be able to handle the pressure by then.
This isn't all to say that McDavid won't be/can't be a good captain right now. I just don't understand why the Oilers would continue to operate in the manner they have for several years now. Considering the results, one would think they'd do everything completely different than they have been. They should be like Costanza, and doing the exact opposite of every natural instinct they have (or the instincts of the previous regimes, at least).

Every year in January and February Jekyll Island becomes a destination for those on the hunt for hidden treasure. Hundreds of glass floats are given away each winter as part of the Island Treasures Hunt.
Hunting for Island Treasures is fun for kids of all ages. If you're going to head out to Jekyll Island looking for globes, there's a few things you should know. Your first stop on the island should be at the Welcome Center. This is located right before you get to the toll booth to get onto the island.
While you're at the Jekyll Island Welcome Center you can view a sample of the globes you're searching for. Every day in January and February these clear globes are hidden around the island. When you find one you trade it in at the Welcome Center for a handblown glass globe.
Every handblown glass float is different and unique and yours for free as a prize if you find one of the clear globes with the prize information in it. The globes are hidden in common areas like the Beach Village, Historic District, Great Dunes Beach Park, etc.
After visiting the Welcome Center, you're ready to start exploring Jekyll Island and looking for Hidden Island Treasures. Our family loved biking around Jekyll Island and it's a great way to cover lots of ground while you're hunting for treasure. My bike has an awesome wire bike basket attached, so we were prepared if we found a treasure.
Don't forget to stop at all the historical landmarks throughout Jekyll Island. This is one of the many places where the Island Treasures can be hidden. Globes are always "hidden" in plain sight. Globes will never be hidden in the dunes, the marsh, off established paths, on the golf courses or driving range, or on residential property.
If you don't find an Island Treasure, don't fret. There are only a few hidden each day, so chances are slim that you'll happen upon one. But each day a few more globes are put out around the island so you can always try again tomorrow.
