You mean Wayne Huizenga wasn't a good owner?

Could be a real good deal for the Kings.

It sets a mark, for sure.

In the 11 years with Viola as owner, they've made the playoffs 6 times in 11 seasons. They'd only gone 5 times in the previous 19 years. Army Ownership and organization matter.

FIFY

I wonder if Adams sees it differently. He may be planning on those guys signing bridge deals.

It appears a Patrik Laine trade will not take place until the forward exits the NHL/NHLPA player assistance program.

Laine is eligible to be traded while in the program, but Columbus Blue Jackets president and general Don Waddell told The Athletic (opens in a new tab)that interested parties want to speak with the player before making a move to acquire him. No team, including the Blue Jackets, is allowed to contact Laine while he remains in the program.

"Teams keep checking in to see if there’s anything new,” Waddell said. “I tell them, ‘You guys have to be comfortable with [Laine], and I can’t help you.’ I don’t know the player personally. I’m not one to try and trick people either, so [we] made him available to chat [when he’s cleared].”

----------

Waddell added that he's not worried about interested teams spending their money elsewhere now that the bulk of free agents have signed deals.

“There really aren’t a lot of free agents out there,” he said. “If [teams] have the [salary] cap [space] today, they’ll probably still have it tomorrow. I know there are teams that are still interested.”

Waddell said in June he was hopeful to make a hockey trade to move Laine as both sides looked to part ways.

That just flat-out don't look right. At all.

NY taxes may be high, but there are other player recruitment advantages.

Just noticed he played the amount of games for Dallas backward that he did with San Jose. Joe knows how to time it right, I guess.

I didn't flinch when Iginla moved, probably because he hopped around after leaving Calgary.

Now, Bourque in an Avs jersey or Brodeur in a Blues jersey on the other hand, that was some weird shit.

Modano in a Red Wings jersey.
Alfredsson in a Red Wings jersey.
Robitaille in a Red Wings jersey.

I'm sensing a trend here...

The weird one for me is Mike Green in an Oilers jersey, as he only played in 2 games for them.

Personally seeing Guy LaFleur as a Nordique was the strangest, albeit he did suit up with the Rangers the season before

Report: New York Rangers unlikely to move on from Jacob Trouba this summer | TSN

Despite several rumours pointing to a trade ahead of free agency, the New York Rangers are expected to hold on to captain Jacob Trouba this summer, Arthur Staple of The Athletic reports.

Shocker.

 

[Old Navy Goat]

Rick Martin as a King.

Wasn't a shock as much as rage over Bowman dismantling the team

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

Rob Ray as a Senator. For a lot of people Horton as a Sabre would have been bizaro world.

Met him after he played in Buffalo, got his autograph in an old NHL Guide and Record Book that I think got donated to a used book store or something. It was weird with him as a Nord for sure.

Also weird that new Edmonton boss man Jeff Jackson was on that Nordique squad.
