Not much going on, so I'll just say that Trouba is a dirty POS.

Not to mention he makes a bunch of illegals play to hurt guys on the ice too.

The NHL just posted this to Facebook. Crazy that we gave up on what ended up being a top pairing dman so soon…

Are they actually going to try to play NHL games with that defense? I guess when you have those goalies, it doesn't really matter what kind of defense you have, you're losing anyway.

Kylington is still an UFA. I wonder if Calgary turns back to him and gives him a 1 year prove-it. He probably doesn't want to play for a group that looks like it's going to be a flaming dumpster fire, but considering Calgary's lack of depth (to put it mildly), it could be good for him to return there and get tons of minutes.

On one hand, good for Bean to get that opportunity. On the other hand, the Flames are probably going to be bottom 5 this year, so he's probably part of the tank command.

The Jackets still don't have a coach. Not sure what's the deal there. If they haven't, they ought to give Mike Velluchi a call (assuming he isn't restricted from leaving the Penguins). Kind of surprised he hasn't gotten an NHL HC job yet.

They reportedly only wanted experienced NHL head coaches. They also reportedly wanted Todd McLellan but could not work out the payment structure between what the Jackets would pay him this year and what the Kings would pay of his previous, remaining contract.

Woof!

Wow they're gonna be baddddd.

That defense makes some 2010s Canes with Joe Corvo and Hainsdoggo look like all stars.

I ask for poetic license on 2 seasons vs 3.

 

[poobags]

I remember we somehow got a 2nd round pick for him from San Jose. And that pick became Mark Alt.

Brett Sutter retires. Wow, had over 1,000 AHL games.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

with STL having too many defenders, we know that Krug will be on LTIR this season after the news of arthritic symptoms.

Good lord.

I mean, I wouldn't be upset with the Flyers if they give it to him because that has big time backfiring potential.

TK is a helluva player, but at $12M, give me two Vincent Trochecks or a Jake Debrusk + Connor Garland. I think he just wants out of Philly and will take closer to $9 or $10M long term with a different team.

It's tough to guage where contracts for players like that are going to land with the rising cap. That might be the reality of it soon enough.

Until the cap surpasses $100M only the truly elite players should be getting north of $10M/yr

Probably, but that may not end up being reality. Especially when the player can leave soon and the team has not been good. Granted, it's always worth taking these what the player's asking for things with a grain of salt. It often comes in quite below that.

Even if the cap rises, other teams are signing players of this caliber right now to way less.

It's wild how some GM's still don't seem that interested in the Salary Cap.
