Pretty good deal for the Islanders on Eberle given he was coming off one bad season.

The days where you could get players on a prove it deal after just one off year (Frolov, Prospal) are pretty much over.

I thought there were now safeguards i place to ensure players weren't playing with concussions?
Seems a tad reckless and irresponsible by the Bruins and Debrusk

I thought so too, I don’t know if the tweet is just worded strangely or what, but after what happened with Nash and them last season, something doesn’t seem right up there in Boston

Think I saw Chris Thorburn in a Blues Jersey on the ice celebrating too

He was the 4th player to hoist the Cup. Pietrangelo-Bouwmeester-Steen-Thorburn. Thorburn played 1 regular season game for the Blues.
It’s the players themselves who decide what order to pass the Cup around in, and there’s usually some significance to it, especially early in the celebration. In Thorburn’s case, it was more than just his tenure of 801 games in the NHL without coming close to the Cup. Thorburn spent this season away from his family, including his autistic son, and an early skate with Stanley was not his only reward for putting in a season’s work in the minors: getting called back up to the NHL meant that Thorburn got back on NHL health insurance, a big deal in his family’s situation.

It was. No team is giving up a blue-chip prospect and more for a rental.

A sign-and-trade is one where the controlling team, in that case Ottawa, signs the guy to a contract and then trades him. Not one where a guy gets traded and then signs.

Yes, Stone had agreed to terms, but the actual signing took place 10 days later. It's a different thing.

Ottawa did that with Hossa way back when.
