He has a mercenary feel to him, if that makes sense. All NHL players play for money and comfort of setting up their future generations but he has always came off as a me first person wherever he's been. This also gives Gaudreau vibes a ton, signing or going elsewhere for a bit and then signing with the hometown team that they originally sought after all these years.
The NHL has needed to do more staggered starts for years, particularly on the weekends. Get games starting at 1 PM on Saturdays and always have a game starting every half hour until 10:30. Do this every Saturday after CFB season. Essentially, always have hockey being played if a casual fan wants to turn it on. Don't try to jazz people up about 12 games in one day when 10 of them start at 7 PM and all go to intermission at the same time.
I hate to say it but that's a very good return for the Hate team given that I don't actually think PLD is all that good.

I don't think I like that trade for the Kings at all. Jets did well

Dubois is fine, but I think he's overrated. I'm not sure how well that contract will age. That said, LA looks pretty strong down the middle now with him, Kopitar and Danault.

No, I'm not serious.
PLD is an alright 2C. but that's a lot to move for the right to pay that guy 8.5M.
I might be higher on vilardi than most, though.

Decent return for the Jets. Vilardi's always a question mark due to his injury history. Iafallo was gonna get squeezed out with Byfield and Kaliyev commanding more ice time (and Trevor Moore's extension kicks in this year). I didn't see much of a future for Kupari in LA.
Fiala-Kopitar-Kempe
Byfield-Dubois-Kaliyev
Moore-Danault-Arvidsson
Grundstrom-Lizotte-?
JAD-MacEwen
Anderson-Doughty
Gavrikov-Roy
Bjornfot?-Spence [Clarke long term]
Moverare
?-Copley
And then assuming Winnipeg dumps Blake Wheeler, they have something like:
Connor-Scheifele-Vilardi
Ehlers-Perfetti-Niederreiter
Iafallo-Lowry-Kupari
Barron-Stenlund-Appleton
Harkins-?
Morrissey-Schmidt
Dillon-Pionk
Samberg-DeMelo
Stanley/Heinola
Hellebuyck-?

This is phenomenal.
Coach part is pretty funny.
Also didn’t see this originally

Is Newhook really that good that Montreal would give up a first and second round pick in this year's draft if I'm reading it right (and they'd have been drafting high I think) for him? This strikes me as a really stupid deal for Montreal unless Newhook totally has a blue chip future.

No he’s not and you’re not wrong
It's the 2nd lowest 1st round pick in the draft that they dealt. They traded 31 and 38 for him. You could probably get around pick 25 with that. It's not a deal I would make, but I think people overvalue picks in this range - they only end up as an NHL average or better player ~25% of the time.
Oh I thought, with their record last year, they must be picking higher. Maybe they had more than one first round pick stockpiled, I’ll have to check.

Hi, I'm mat.
The very last frame of the Vancouver schedule release video is this lol
The schedules are loaded into the NHL app. It’s both exciting and disappointing to see the next games are Oct 10.

I was going to go with A Flock of Hughesgulls
They don't have the antigravity hair.
I think the Kings way overpaid for PLD, both in terms of assets in the trade, and dollars in the contract. Neither is going to age well.

retelling a story now....
years ago kim mitchell was daytime DJ on a major toronto rock station and it seemed like every few weeks he would find some way to mention them but always called them "a flock of nimrods" on air...i dont know if there was bad blood between him and them or if he just thought they were shit. but it was strange to hear on a major station more than once.
