Nelson and some of the others I figured but given his high draft pick status was surprised that McTavish would be available.

Now where is it said that 'elite' actually has to be any good? I mean Bertie Wooster is in the upper echelons of the society with his own valet and all, and he's still pretty useless.

He's already in his 30s, but for the right term I'd absolutely love to have Yanni Gourde on this team.

I always think it's dumb to do pretty much anything that limits your potential pool of trade partners, but there is certainly a history of it across sports for dumb reasons.

I don't know. Holding grudges as a GM is stupid, but Francis seems like the type of GM who would.
Regardless, I'm thinking more about free agency, though a sign and trade would work just fine for me. 3-4 year deal, taking him to 35 or 36, and he's a much better 2C option than any of our other options. Decent scoring and a lot of presence all over the ice. I still remember that Tampa 3rd line with their cup teams- his line was really central to the identity of those teams.

I can't imagine a goalie trying go process that play in front of him and thinking about how to play it.

I don’t think it was intentional, but the initial “fake shot” Kadri does as he’s completing the spin-o-rama seems to have frozen Vasi for just long enough for the second shot to get by.

How is it that Laviolette’s teams all peak in his first 2 seasons and turn into a conplete dumpster fire almost immediately.

This is Hurricanes Hockey
I honestly don't know what one would do with the Sabres. It'd be one thing if the playoff drought wasn't so long but it is.

Conventional wisdom is to win games against them.
The key to this strategy is to be part of an organization which is not the Buffalo Sabres.
