I honestly thought he was retired.

unsigned right now. I think a team looking for a bottom 6 player could do a lot worse.
Tampa has lost some guys, I could see him there. Hell even Edmonton for a 3rd time.

33 in 8 days.

still crazy

Also crazy that he’s never scored 20 goals in a season

In celebration I'll be writing all 52 of your usernames on mine and sending out 4k images out; check your DMs.

Now here’s a name we haven’t heard from in a while.

Damn, thought he was at least 35 or older

Now here’s a name we haven’t heard from in a while.

Steve Tamellini is the BS GM that f***ed the Smyth deal, but that ended up being a blessing that turned Brule into Fraser.

Ahh yes, Tambellini....another 1st round botched pick by the Kings development staff.

Another straight up miss by Al Murray and his staff. I hope he learned from Stevie Y and not him.

Who is now in charge of developing other players.

Gagner's a niche player. Columbus used him well, basically 4th liner PP specialist. Problem is that Gagner wouldn't crack Edmonton or Tampa's PP1. Gagner's skill set would have some redundancy to Yamamoto/Puljujarvi. Most teams are going to want their bottom six guys to kill penalties. They're probably keeping a spot warm for Dylan Holloway to potentially claim.

Kane-McDavid-Hyman
RNH-Draisaitl-Yamamoto
Foegele-McLeod-Puljujarvi
Janmark-Shore-Ryan
Malone-McKegg

Tampa probably has a cheaper/younger internal option with Alex Barre-Boulet.

Namestnikov-Point-Kucherov
Killorn-Cirelli-Stamkos
Hagel-Paul-Perry
Colton-Bellemarre-Maroon
ABB-Smith

Gagner feels like a PTO guy at this point. Verbeek presumably has some experience with him from the last few years in Detroit. I don't know what to make of Anaheim's lines at this point.

 

[YP44]

seeing a game there would be sweet. They're going to be there for a couple of years right?

I was expecting pictures of politicians, but this is way better.

Here’s everything I did. Do the opposite.

That's the plan. Unless they find a new way to embarrass themselves and not get the new planned arena built I guess

Booo Huberdeau re-signed with Calgary, was hoping he’d take off out east. Was hoping Calgary would fall off.

8 years 10 million per. That contract is going to be horrendous and won't age well. Although Huberdeau is a good player not for that length yikes.

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

If you are Calgary and a top player is willing to sign with you, you have to do it. With that said, giving Huberdeau 8 years is scary

Rich Clune retired as a player, and the Leafs hired him as a staffer in player development. I guess he can teach their prospects on the proper way to take a punch?
