Around the NHL - Part XLIII

[Profet]

So... I don't want to seem heartless... But I'm also curious.

What does Columbus do now?

What are the contract ramifications now that we're days away from camps opening?

They were never going to be good enough to compete in the metro, this probably gives them a year or two of rebuilding more traditionally as opposed to trying to break out of bottom 10 in the league into a playoff spot by sheer will.

I'm sure his cap hit will be wiped off the books. Where they go from here, who knows...

They are going to be under the cap if (and when that's the case). I wonder if the NHL is going to give them a bit of a waiver there. They should.

It's not too hard to get over the cap though, just sign a guy like Tyson Barrie to a 1y 5M contract I guess

It was a single lane in either direction, no 'left lane'

The offender passed on the right when the car ahead pulled to the center to give clearance to the brothers on the right shoulder. Recklessness was not a slow car, it was an asshole passing (illegally) on the right.

I was girding myself for bicycle victim blaming, but takes the cake that other vehicles, by all accounts navigating the road legally, somehow forced this asshole to kill two fathers.

Is it victim blaming to question why these guys were willing to take the risk of riding on a rural road like that at dusk? What happened to them is obviously horrible, and I hope the driver gets the book thrown at him, but as a guy who likes a nice bike ride I personally ensure my routes avoid roads like that for exactly the reasons you cited. Drivers are insane, and inept, and I refuse to put myself at risk like that.

Jarvis extension in Car maybe now he’ll be rich enough to do something about that mug

Some things are unfixable.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Man, Johnny even scored the OT winner of that game too

It’s f*cked up man, Johnny definitely had the chance to be a 90pt guy again if they got the right group around him. He was definitely not fully cooked.

What a horrific situation. Always liked him, always cool to see elite Americans growing in this sport.

 

[NickyFotiu]

He got himsel

He got drunk.

He intentionally got behind the wheel of a car, turning the car into a deadly weapon.

What more do we need?

ZERO tolerance for drunk drivers. ZERO.

I have zero tolerance for drunk drivers. He will be charged in their homicides but that is not the definition of first degree murder. I wish it was but I do not make the laws.

Bike riding is huge where I live as are horrible distracted drivers. Its a bad combination. If I was to ride a bike I would only do it on the sidewalk because I do not trust the drivers. Too many drunks. Too many old drivers. Too many distracted young drivers.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I'm confused. How is this asshole ONLY charged with manslaughter and not twin counts of first degree murder?

Serious question, but do you know what first degree murder is?

Jacob Trouba come on down!

I think we should all just be a little more cautious when going out the next few weeks with a holiday weekend and the NFL coming back and not worry about cap implications or why a Go Fund Me was set up for the families or trying to work on a fantasy trade of Kakko and Lindgren anywhere. I'm going to a bachelor party in a few weeks and it's already been brought up in the group chat.

Be a human for a minute. We're better than any of that junk that's on Instagram or Twitter. We're better than that.

Agree 100%. The takeaway is to be a better person. Road rage can kill in an instant and you’re never coming back from it. That guy had a bad 10 seconds and ended 3 lives. 2 beautiful souls were lost and their families are left to pick up the pieces. Take a deep breath next time you’re frustrated behind the wheel. It’s not worth it. Don’t drink and drive…ever.

Both heartbreaking and heartwarming to watch. Puts things in perspective.

US Open touched on that nicely during a segment today on ESPN. I’ll admit I’m not proud after that, and after watching Netflix’s La Liga, of all the times I’ve taunted (or worse) our players. Hockey is their job, but they’re still humans with families, friends, etc.

Yeah I have put over 1k miles on a road bike and just recently switched to mountain biking.....off road has its challenges but there are no distracted drivers n the woods

The rules will be changed before nyr get to such cap circumvention. I doubt they would be allowed to behind closed doors regardless.

Just you wait, I've had far more hospital visits from mtbing than I ever did on the roadie

Although you guys do have far more cars on the road than we do, which would lead to even more idiots behind the wheel

That is the ugliest human I've ever seen.

Draisaitl 8x14 extension beginning 2025 season.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Woahhhhh

Aging curves tend to hit slower players the hardest (John Tavares). Edmonton fans will run out of patience with Draisatl and his $14AAV cap hit by year 4 of the new contract.

 

[Kords]

So Condor gonna fetch at least 16 mil, right? Casual 30 million locked up on 2 players... Amazing players worth the money, but how do you even manage that?

 

[NickyFotiu]

I watched the pre bail court hearing. Because of the holiday the judge said the drunk driver is in at least until Thursday. The drunk driver was polite but you could see his disappointment when he was told that he had no chance to get out until Thursday. When I saw that I was thinking does this guy understand that he killed two people? What is he thinking? He is going to be in jail for a lot longer than Thursday unless he has other plans like running (after bail) or harming himself.
