His model needs some work, he has a third line center in the Franchise tier.
Especially when the model has an actual "3C" designation.
Show me where anything I said there was not true. Spoiler alert: You can't.

i wonder how common that is to "bring" them over? jobs like that are hard to come by so myself would absolutely be moving with the franchise. wonder how far down the employee list they went bringing people over to utah?

what is Robertson even doing? I have never seen anything lie that
Nylander probably concussed

Guys will shove teammates with their sticks to help boost the teammate into a forecheck or on a back check. You’re transferring your momentum into them but it needs to be in a straight line.
Nylander didn’t seem like he was expecting it nor does it appear he wanted to travel in a straight line, so seems like a bad read by Robertson.

it looked like nylander thought the push came from someone on the habs and he dove to get a call
Friedman mentioned on 32 Thoughts that Kings might be looking at RD with Doughty out -where it's any lingering UFA's or via the waiver wire. Wouldn't be surprised if someone like DeSimone gets their attention if he hits the wire, though given all the injuries on defense for NJ he might be up a bit to start the season anyway.
Two former Devils on waivers today.
Still amazed that bum Geertsen managed to play 25 games in the NHL.
Tyce also had quite the fall from grace as he was reasonably hyped here for a while.

I'm a little surprised that Geertsen only played 25 games that year. It felt more like 45.
Tyce may have been something, but anything he could have become was probably derailed by injuries that cause his to miss development time being on the shelf.

That looks awful is slow motion. Hope it doesn't end up being anything serious.

The defender wasn’t looking down and was turning at the time to my eyes. I think it was an accident in terms of knee on knee. Hopefully he’s ok.
Apparently the Leafs MO this preseason is just to injure people, both on the other team and their own.
I know teams would hate the logistics of more travel, but pre-season should be exhibitions against teams that clubs rarely play.
Maybe it was an accident, but this happens way too often where close rival teams get too heated in what should be tune up matches.
I'd be amazed if Laine plays this season. That looks absolutely brutal.

I think there’s always an element of risk though.
Even if they didn’t do rivalry games in preseason, stars could easily still get injured by young guys playing on the edge because they’re trying to make the team out of camp and need to show something extra.

i’ll go one step further and ask if preseason games should even be a thing in 2024. it’s like the olympics- zero upside, all downside from an nhl team’s perspective.

Sounds like Michkov may be the real deal in Philly.
People are already saying he’ll single-handedly keep them as a bubble team. The Metro may not have multiple great clubs, but I think it’s going to be a fight to make the playoffs.

Everyone knew this. Except these idiot NHL GMs who let him slide at the draft.
