This is an absolute master class in trolling from Waddell. Just have to tip your cap.

Yeah, I just mean they already lost Weber and Danault, and replaced them with Savard and Perreault. And they barely made the playoffs in the weak North division. If they lose Kotka, and replace him with....whoever, they are in Detroit territory.

What a way to f*** with Montreal. Love it.
So obviously this is a huge win for Kotkaniemi. He gets paid, he doesn't care for Montreal, Carolina is a decent organisation and if they decide to dump him next year? He gets to UFA at 22. Even if Montreal matches, what's not to love?
Carolina, they get a 21 year old kid who according to LeBrun they tried to trade for before. They pay what's likely a late first and late 3rd and overpay about 3 mill for one year. Then, they have options: Kotka looks like a player worth this, yay, extend at the same price. Kotka doesn't look like a player worth this, they can let him walk, or use the extended negotiating period to sign him to a different contract in a more reasonable price range. Given Carolina's excellent developement system (especially with Finns) and Kotka's botched developement, maybe this is a match made in heaven even if they're overpaying a lot right now. Finally, it's a serious "Don't you dare mess with our RFAs" message by Carolina. They lose here if Kotka's a bust, walks for nothing and they miss the playoffs.
Montreal either matches (and seriously overpays for a guy who doesn't want to be there, and faces the same problem next year), or they don't and get two picks - which is probably the smarter choice. Either way, this puts them in a spot. I like.

Denis Malgin's heading back to Switzerland. Makes that Malgin for Marchment swap look good

It looked good the second Marchment stepped into the lineup last season
Brady Keeper just got stretchered off the ice (leg) during Vancouver Canucks practice per Sportsnet.

Lucky himThanks my cousin played last game and not tonight.
ha have a chance to make the Flyers as a dark horse?
Well he's played one preseason game and got one assist so far.Lucky him
I highly doubt he makes the team this year. For him to get a full year in the AHL would be best. The Flyers basically told him he will get a real look next year. That's been the plan since when they drafted him in 2019

You gonna travel to one of the closest cities of an AHL team to watch him play live?
Or get the AHLtv package?
I'm gonna see if my firestick/illegal streaming app will provide the AHL games, otherwise, may pony up the cash to watch Charlotte this year
I'm thinking about getting the AHLpackage. I've never had it before. Is it possible to split between people? If so, definitely would be up for that idea.

Here's the pricing. So we could split the $105 cost so we could watch Charlotte and you still can watch the Phantoms as well.
That $105 cost is assuming Charlotte makes the playoffs...
Would assume you can have 2 users on one account, likely just log on with the password, they don't need to know we're 4-5hrs away from each other haha
But not sure if 2 users can be logged in at same time??
That’s awesome man. Must be so cool to watch that from a family perspective.

He’s already better than Yandle!
(Then again, everyone’s better than Yandle. Even Bob is better than Yandle.)

I'm definitely interested.
Would like to know if we could both be logged on at the same time. I'd hate to be kicked off, or kick you off. If I'm getting the package I would also like to check out some Charlotte games also.

Yeo even said he was surprised by his D play...
Waiting for his brainfarts to start
I know McDavid is a generational talent and is by far the best player in the league but he is a joke defensively. He will never be a champion playing like that.
