I like Sjkei but you can’t give 7 years to a guy who is already fully grey. Thats asking for trouble.

Ok I gotta say I pretty much hate anything Capitals. But this, this they get much cred for!

Not sure if has any validity, but I read in another thread from some tweet that it was related to something that happened at the draft.
If so, I guess what happens in Vegas really doesn't stay in Vegas after all.

Interesting.....in this world of abundant social media chatter you would think that if there was some form of impropriety it would have leaked already.

I didn't see him or Puljujärvi in the photos with the Canes (and recent former Canes) that Aho posted on IG. Nino and Hakanpää were the two others.

I would say with almost certainty that he wasn't at Aho's wedding and isn't in Finland. He's been training with Dr. Sharif Tabbah and some guys in a video taken seven days ago.

It appears as though Sabretooth got shitfaced drunk and gave poor Stormy a golden shower. Probably going to get a call from HR for this.

Flyers have been a mess since Ed Snider passed.

"Puck don't lie"
Am I the only one who thinks the Brock Faber deal is a bit of an overpay, but mostly it feels pretty premature for a guy who put up 47 points and whose possession numbers don't feel all that impressive. I know next to nothing about "expected" stats, so maybe he's an expected goals/points monster. He did play against top competition a lot.
Still, it's 1 year of production.

I was surprised. That’s a big leap after one year but as someone in the main thread said, you have to take risks to get a value contract sometimes. If they bridge him and he does well it’s more expensive down the road.

Seems like Minnesota is banking on a Faber/Biuim pairing to be their pairing of the future so we'll see.

More color on the Marek situation in this Athletic article.
The Athletic is suggesting he was let go by leaking proprietary pick information to someone outside the company (a friend who specializes in social media). Since it could have gambling impact the League came down on Sportsnet who then let him go.
tidbit I didn't know: for "broadcast rightsholders. The production truck is notified of the pick approximately one or two minutes before it’s made so that graphics can be prepared, video clips readied and cameras trained on the player about to find out he has been selected".

Considering how much he's gotten wrong since that Seattle draft leak, I imagine he lost a lot of contacts afterwards. So technically yes, but...

If that's all it is and there was no nefarious intent on anybody's part for like a huge gambling scam or anything, I'm hopeful he'll pop up somewhere prominently this season in hockey media. I don't know how much latitude they have in a situation like that with rights and contracts and whatnot (and it seems dumb since every pick is leaked these days in all sports a few minutes ahead of time) but it would suck to jettison the guy who has been around for a while and done a lot.
