Arthur Kaliyev was waived. Surely someone will take a chance on him. People really believed he'd be a big deal at one point.

Things like this remind me not to get to uppity about 2nd round picks, guys we could've taken and all that. Though I was on the Artamonov train last draft and he's having another pretty dang good KHL season, so I'm kind of wavering on that currently.

Said this in main thread about him but personifies the type of player the Kings cannot afford to give time to if they are interested in winning.

He is absolutely the type of player that teams actively trying to lose will claim and be excited about getting. Which will only help them continue to lose. Feels like the perfect player for the incompetent Hawks front office.
 
Also not a lawyer, if his lawyer thinks the charges are too aggressive and and the prosecution won't be able to prove first degree or aggravated manslaughter, it could result in a not guilty verdict. I think in some states they jury/judge can amend the charges at that point, but in some states they can't, I don't know which NJ is. I think that's what happened with Chauvin, they were going to charge 1st degree, but worried that the jury may not be able to find him guilty, so they dropped it to second degree to get a conviction.

Could be totally wrong, but I don't know what else it could be. It's not like there's a lack of evidence to tie him to what happened, so I would think they're just arguing over degree and whether it was aggravated or not.

I also think he could successfully be found not guilty of some of the charges like tampering with evidence.
 
Deano has Columbus in a Playoff spot, Likely dont finish in one, but over half way into the season nobody expected that for a team many thought was a contender for bottom 3 of league

Fiala's having a rough year. On pace for only 45 points, and he's the only one on the team of the guys playing most nights that's negative in +/- (and he's -10, so well below much of the rest of the team).
 


His second cheap hit to the head of another player this week, but he's not avoiding punishment this time. $5,000 fine for high sticking, probably.
 
Dumba with 2 pts. in 28 gp this year. Only 30 yo, but seems like he is a fringe NHL'er, at this point

Wow a blockbuster of a trade on a Friday night!! Rantanen to Hurricanes! havent seen what Carolina gave up yet

Rantanen never seemed like a guy who was going to re-up in Colorado based on their cap structure. Rantanen looks great playing next to two generational type players but he’s a long ways off from those two and he’s going to look like just another good player in Carolina but nowhere near the numbers he’s putting up in Colorado. Getting something for him is fine but not the biggest Necas fan and Drury is meh.

Colorado the first to say no to a $13M+ winger it seems, even with the prospective cap jump.

Kinda makes me wonder what a Kaprizov trade would look like, although I know it's pretty much off the table.

If a Necas type player isn't available, probably replace him with a 1st and top prospect, so:

1st + top prospect + 2nd + decent young player.

Well what I'm thinking is that, if Kaprizov does become available, a Necas level player will suddenly also become available, if we so choose.

But I'm also curious what a Necas level player actually is. He's on pace for over 90 this season, but prior to this he's been a 70 point player. So which one are they getting?
