Leon Draisaitl, Darnell Nurse and the Return to Junior (Updated)
Jonathan Willis
October 17 2014 10:00AM
It doesn't take long for a junior-age player's nine-game audition to come to an end. Leon Draisaitl is a touch short of halfway there, having played four of those contests. Darnell Nurse has sat out two, so he's only played a pair, but there's a bit of a logjam in terms of space on the back end and nobody wants to see him sitting in the press box.
In short, it's soon enough to start wondering whether the duo will stay in the NHL for the duration of the 2014-15 season.

Guestbook comments from the owner
The property was wonderful. Well maintained and spacious. We loved the location and the relaxing, scenic view from the screened in porch over the lake. We chose Deerfield Beach because we have some friends who live in Boca Raton and we also like the easy drive to the beach, Everglades, Ft. Lauderdale, and even went to Key Largo for snorkeling one day. The weather was fabulous. Your home was the 5th VRBO rental we've used and it was unquestionably the best. The only suggestion I might make is a few chairs that people could take to the beach (but that is a very minor deal). If we chose to go to South Florida in the future, we'll definitely keep your property in mind.
Thanks again for allowing us the use of your home.

The Londoner's Guide to London
The Characters
Five students move into a massive house without questioning whether or not the cheap price might have something to do with grisly murders which were committed there. Billie plays Jennie, an art student who seems to have inherited psychic powers from her recently deceased mother. The other students in the house include Tom (Luke Mably), a cocky drug dealer who likes his live-in girlfriend Adele (Emma Catherwood) to punch him in the face during sex.
The Plot
When strange things start happening in the house (their mobile phones stop working, Tom's stash disappears, a ouija board tells them that they're all going to die, that sort of thing) they eventually twig that it has something to do with the spirit clock which started working when they all walked in. As the spirits turn the housemates against each other, Jennie has to use her psychic powers to figure out the secret of the house before it's too late.
The Good
To be fair, Billie, Luke Mably and Sam Troughton are all fine actors and they do their best with the risible script, although there are an awful lot of scenes that involve Jennie explaining things to the other characters which gets quite laughable after a while. Bad performances by some of the other actors occasionally undoes the good work of the other actors (Mably, in particular, makes an excellent scumbag).
However, the film's not a total disaster. The set is intriguing and believably atmospheric and there are one or two good scenes, such as when they try and leave the house.
The Bad
The main problem with the film lies in the script. The dialogue is unconvincing and the plot is both guessable and familiar. It's also quite badly directed in places for example, there's a flashback scene quite late in the movie that's meant to be a shocking reveal but Smith completely bungles it, rendering the whole scene pointless.
In short, Spirit Trap has 'straight to DVD' written all over it, though Billie does enough to suggest that a big screen career may be hers for the taking once she's done messing around with Time Lords. Ultimately, the film could have used a couple of rewrites and a better director, though it's watchable enough if you like that sort of thing.

The latest incarnation of the Vale of White Horse's local plan still accepts the housing numbers imposed on it, which assume employment growth will occur as planned in Science Vale.
I am right behind Elizabeth Ward with regard to the issue of dogs on leads in Aristotle Lane.
'Commemorating the Peacemakers' was the name of an all-day conference at Friends Meeting House on November 15, an event not to miss in the calendar of events about the First World War. Thanks in part to your and the city council's support with publicity, we had more than 80 people attending the day-time conference, and another 80 coming to the 'peace concert' in the evening.
VALE of White Horse District Council is holding an important public meeting about the Local Plan.
READING the Oxford Mail on November 5 I was shocked to learn that the Green Party deputy chair Alison Williams accused county council Labour group leader Liz Brighouse of not caring for the health of the people in Oxfordshire. What a load of nonsense.
HOW remarkable that to get rid of electricity pylons we are contemplating paying £7m per pylon while at the same time we are subsiding the erection of towers for wind turbines. It's a funny old world.
WITH reference to your report on Thursday, November 6, about Chiltern Railways' plan to reopen the Oxford to Cowley line "Special train shows potential for reopening Oxford's Cowley branch line to passengers."
I support the four hour strike by NHS staff on November 24. The majority of the public are willing to pay extra tax to fund a decent pay rise for NHS staff. Thus this sad crowd in the House of Commons are treating the wishes of the people with contempt.
FOR the last two Saturdays I have distributed leaflets in the centre of Kidlington. One lady refused to accept one. I asked her "why"? She replied: "Because you are racist and homophobic". I denied this and said: "Where did you learn this?" Her answer, "I read it in the papers."
DAVID Cameron should have said "some of you are all in this together". With the cash strapped NHS having to make savage cuts and pay restraints (with the exception of top managers). I was rather surprised by headlines on October 2, 'Pay bonus for eight top NHS managers' and £85,000 shared between them for achieving the majority of their targets for 2012/13.
Well done to Mick Haines, Marston's Independent city councillor, who has been successful in his campaign regarding lighting through Croft Park Recreation Ground. Oxfordshire County Council's recent installation has provided a safer access.
There has been much published in this paper about the seemingly apparent ease with which property developers are able to cover vast swathes of our ever-decreasing countryside with new housing.
I am writing in support of Helen Marshall as another barmy idea is trotted out that the Green Belt is not fit for purpose. The facts that the Vale housing plan are based on (the SCHMA report) are wholly discredited and evidence suggests that the houses that are proposed are not for local people at all but for economic migrants and people pushed out of London by price, benefit reform and the bedroom tax.
I've just read the article on poor broadband provision in North Oxford, Superfast broadband plan 'at a crawl' in north Oxford, November 13.
The recent belated Environmental Impact Assessment, commissioned by Oxford University admits that Port Meadow is an "exceptional" asset for the city. It is also historic. The 500 acres of open common land were the basis for the first town guild, the Portmanmoot.
I endorse the call for more people to use public transport to combat road chaos such as that on the A34 recently, but this has to be dependent on measures to enable buses to get through.
We all know that smoking tobacco and exposure to other pollutants such as diesel, benzene or PCB's can cause cancer. However, there are also foods we can eat that help to counteract the risk.
We villagers of Merton (and Ambrosden) are having to endure a daily barrage of lorries rattling both ways past our homes, seemingly right on the speed limit, as the Oxford-Bicester rail link is improved for an eventual link-up to Cambridge.
The Tories sold off the council houses, 40 per cent of which are now owned by private landlords, who are mainly interested in maximising rents. This was hailed by the Tory press as a massive victory for ordinary people, but now is seen as a major mistake.
may I use the letters page to say a big thank you to everyone who has supported me over the Horspath war memorial fiasco. The support I have received from the Oxford Mail, the bbc radio and tv and the public has been fantastic. I said last week that I would remove the memorial on Wednesday, November 12, but with so many people coming to look at it – and apparently more intend coming to look this week – I will now remove it on Saturday evening.
Thank you so much for the article about my Movember Movie, which I made to spread awareness of male cancer, and mental health.
CPRE Oxfordshire welcomes Oxford University's Environmental Statement (ES) on its controversial Port Meadow student housing development. The statement identifies the impact of the development on four of Oxford's high value heritage assets as "high adverse". These harmful impacts have been identified for the Oxford skyline, St Barnabas Church, Port Meadow and the river Thames and towpath.
A new Chiltern Railways passenger train service along the Cowley branch line (November 6) is excellent news for Littlemore residents. By the end of the decade we could have two trains an hour taking just five or 10 minutes to get in and out of Oxford.
The Environmental Assessment on the Port Meadow flats confirms what everyone has been telling Oxford City Council and Oxford University for months: five-storey blocks of flats on that site have had a hugely damaging effect on a number of priceless historic views of our beautiful city.
I read the interesting article about the possible reinstating of passenger services on the rail link to Littlemore and Cowley, which is an excellent idea, but why stop at Cowley?
COUNCILLOR Mick Haines must be over the moon as after years of campaigning to get lights installed in Croft Road Recreation Ground, they have actually been put in place at last. This will make it much safer for all who use the cycle track/footpath in the hours of darkness.
as Christmas approaches the subject of drink- driving is raised again.
THERE is much discussion at the present time about the details of the new local plans for the Vale and South Oxfordshire in relation to housing developments. It is instructive to look at how the previous local plans turned out.
I WONDER if any of your readers have the same experience I have when contacting the leaders of our councils?
THE article published on November 14, "Grim warning amid housing payment cut", set out an old rate for the Oxford Living Wage.
Do those responsible for the unauthorised temporary traffic lights at Didcot appreciate just how much hardship they have caused?
Making housing more affordable is of the utmost importance. After a long search involving couch surfing, I recently found a house-share that I can afford. But, my own problems pale in comparison with the housing difficulties of many people across the city. So I was disappointed to read the criticism of the Westgate development by Cllr Sam Hollick ("Greed is the reason behind poor homes provision," November 17).
IN response to the Rev Graham Sykes covering the proposed West Way development, A Woodward, ('The real bullies in this matter lurk elsewhere', November 14,) says that some people have been bullied into signing a petition.
It is to be hoped that Oxford City Council has really learned its lesson from the shameful debacle of the Castle Mill flats. Leaving aside the fact that the visual impact was either wilfully dismissed or negligently misunderstood, the council was warned by numerous campaigners before the buildings had reached anything like fully height that there would be consequences.
My impression is that only a tiny proportion of the people living in England realise that the Government has given up responsibility to provide free health care for all here; and that the NHS is currently being broken up and privatised in a major way.
After writing to Horspath parish council in February proposing a permanent stone war memorial on the village green, I obtained prices to get an idea of how much my idea would cost. At the annual parish meeting I outlined what I was proposing and told those present it would cost under £5,000 and I would be prepared to pay for it – either as a gift to the village or an interest free loan. The parish council's response was 'we do not need your money we have plenty of our own'.
The lack of any affordable housing being proposed as part of the Westgate development is a scandal and a failure not to use such a convenient city centre site to supply some of the council housing we really need.
Oxford University continues to be utterly high-handed and disingenuous in its statements about the Port Meadow blocks fiasco. First of all, it is not their place at all to 'rule out' reducing the height of the buildings. Any decision belongs to the city council.
Local authorities have a remit to prevent both physical and mental health problems in the communities they serve, using their public health budgets. Millions of pounds are spent every year to prevent people developing physical health problems like obesity, heart disease or cancer.
Some weeks ago, I wrote to suggest that if any supporters of Doric's proposals for the West Way development felt under-represented they should write to you. At last now I read two letters (Rev Kalyan Das and A Woodward) not only in support of these proposals but also making serious allegations of "bullying" tactics and (in Rev Das's) case of misrepresentation by those opposed to Doric's plans.
It would be common sense for cycle distributers in the future to add £20 to the price of a cycle and fit a set of lights before selling them.
The coalition Government recently stated its commitment to protect the Green Belt from development. It emphasised that unmet housing need is unlikely to outweigh the harm to Green Belt and would not constitute the very special circumstances justifying development in it. Once established, Green Belt boundaries should only be altered in exceptional cases through the preparation or review of Local Plans.
It is a pleasure to learn that Wantage has been awarded the accolade of Best British High Street 2014.
The county council must do a better job of organising the makeover of The Plain roundabout.
The fact that the Vale Planning Committee on West Way/Doric is being held in Abingdon makes me question how transparent the planning process really is.
How can we be involved when we have not been told? Where are local community noticeboards that could provide advance information which will affect our community? Oxford City Council's Northeast Area Forum (The Insider, October 30, 2014) had only one resident attending because no one knew. (Notification one day before the meeting, Oxford Mail, October 21, 2014 is not good enough.)
Your story on the new Link Road between Didcot and Abingdon plan is indeed welcome. I have been advocating this for some time. But if it just links the Perimeter Road to the A415 it will be deficient.
Coinciding with the 25th anniversary of the demolition of the Berlin Wall, the inquiry into the Cherwell District Local Plan will be deciding the future of the former RAF Upper Heyford. While there are no meaningful remains of the Berlin Wall, the Cold War airbase is physically intact.
Remember, remember the 5th of November Gunpowder, treason and plot.....

Super nice room and beautiful lobby and decorations, particularly the gingerbread houses and the beautiful Christmas trees and decorations. Room was excellent.
Doormen were friendly, others not too friendly.
The rooms, the view and the location were nice.
Great employees always available to help with anything and everything.
The Staff was INCREDIBLE. Every single person we encountered was well trained, polite, friendly, helpful and made us feel like family. I have stayed at some of the best hotels in the world and this was the best overall staff I have ever encountered. Starting with our arrival, Phillip and Devon were outstanding. Reed was helpful and funny as well. Hector, Linda and Laura continued to impress throughout the week at the front desk, Kelsi made us feel at home in the lounge, Will (manager) made us feel appreciated and special and Caleb in Fine Dining was impeccable. Every bite of food at every venue was top quality and perfectly prepared. We will absolutely return and recommend this wonderful resort.
The mattresses were super soft. The staff was always courteous.
parking, very far away
This was our second time staying here. I've recommended it too so many people. When I think of Branson, I think of the chateau on the lake. Best place I've ever stayed. From the time you check in until the time you leave the staff is always their to accommodate you. Love, love, love this place.
Can't think of one thing.
Cleanliness, Beautifully decorated,Great food, the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about all our needs.......
The whole trip was wonderfull great room,good food, very frierndly staff
our room had a partial lake view. The only bad thing is that our room was right above the air conditioners,very noisy!
The view of the lake from our bedroom
It was our 45th anniv in a storybook setting complete with gingerbread house displays in their lobby.
Not applicable
Absolutely everything! The place, the view, the food, the friendliness of workers, the cleanliness, the comfort, the value of my money. Everything was absolutely adorable. We will definitely stay here again when traveling to Branson.
Great location. Very friendly and helpful staff. Hotel was very clean and beautifully decorated. Had a wonderful stay of 7 days. We will return to the chateau.
After pulling up, the valet gave us free service because he saw we had our hands full with our 7 month old daughter. Excellent staff and very nice.
Beautiful, quiet facilites and grounds. Clean, comfortable room with fabulous views. Friendly staff. Luxurious, perfect place to stay for any Branson trip!
We enjoyed our stay. Our room was quiet and the view was nice
The room was excellent
No view, it was advertised as a mountain view, we got a roof top. We won't be back.
Scenery was great.
The physical facilities are wonderful. Several places to eat on the property. View of Lake from our room was outstanding. About 10 minute drive to the heart of Branson. Staff were most helpful and anxious to please. Breakfast buffet is simply outstanding.
Handicapped parking is still a bit of a walk to the front lobby..
Everything but the view
Waking up the next morning and seeing nothing but a tin roof......
Great views from the lakeside rooms Close enough to everything in Branson to be convenient, far enough away to not be overcome by it all It's a nice hotel!
Gurgling pipes in our room kept us up for several hours, hotel staff recommended we run some water through the tub...finally offered us a replacement room.
The location the view of the lake while you are having dinner and the Sunday brunch
staff helpful, friendly

2014 IDP General Discussion
Posted 18 March 2014 - 12:40 PM
This will be my 3rd year in a 16 team, PPR, IDP league. We start 2 LB, 2 DL, 2 DB, and one defensive flex. My first year in the league was a mess, and last year I decided to stream some defensive players rather than waste high round draft picks due to their unpredictability.
However, I realized halfway through the season that stud LBs can produce like WRs, so I'm looking to load up on some solid defensive players this year. In my league, people generally start drafting defensive players in the 7th or 8th round (25 rounds total). Due to injuries etc, I decided to tank last season and traded Charles, Foles, and my other elite players for keepers and picks.
My two keepers are Lacy (4th rd) and Jeffery (7th rd). I have an extra 7th rd pick and 10th rd pick, losing my 12th and 25th. I'm planning to grab a LB like Dansby or Burfict with my extra 7th rounder, and then grab a couple more LBs in the 9th and 10th. Any general tips or advice on the draft or IDP sleeper picks that you like?
