Around the NHL - Part 1

[Summer Rose]

Final thought on 4 Nations, my Men's golf group here in Arizona today had half the group talking about the great games they watched this week in hockey. I'm not sure in 15 years playing in this group I had as many hockey conversations as I had this week ?? Home run for
League.

A real eye opener for me was that my dad, who constantly makes fun of hockey (and makes fun of me for liking hockey) actually watched Thursday night’s game. I actually even had a brief conversation with him about the game yesterday. He says he’ll now probably watch the USA games at next year’s Olympics.

He’s not exactly likely to ever turn into an NHL fan though, especially because he lives in Arizona and the Coyotes are now gone.

Jan Jenik in Sens lineup tonight. I hope he's learned he shouldn't be fighting.

The 9.5 million households in North America that watched the final would agree.

Blackhawks get Spencer Knight and a 1st (conditional) for Seth Jones.

I think both teams benefitted there (as long as Chicago doesn't fubar it.).

Mikey Eyssimont and two first round picks (2026 and 2027) to Seattle for Oliver Bjorkstrand and Yanni Gourde. Interesting.

Edit: Bolts also send Seattle Toronto's 2025 2nd, and get Seattle's 2026 5th.

Getting the band back together....damn Yanni Gourde is 33? I am so old.

I started truly feeling old when one year on the Coyotes there was only one player on the entire roster who was older than me. I thought it was Niklas Hjalmarsson, but I checked and I'm older than him, so it was probably Brad Richardson. I'm now older than the entire Utah roster.
