Around the NHL: Post-Draft and Free Agent Frenzy

[MarkusKetterer]

They're both similar but the '47 Clean Up fits me better and also "molds" to my head better over time.

I like the head fit of New Era, I just hate how vertical the front of the hat is. To me it elongates my head.

I remember with the old Starter hats you could cut out the interior mesh and it would fix that problem.

I’ve seen a lot of Canes fans say his numbers are inflated because he played most of the time with wingers who are better than he is, but he’s obviously young and may still have room to grow. Bridge deal seems to make sense for everyone.

Speaking of hockey minds, I see one of Nill’s support brains got a bump and is now Director of Amatuer scouting for the Leafs, leaving Dallas.

Imagine Jeff Skinner winning the conn smythe (I mean, that won't happen, but still..) and Savoie winning the calder.

Let's ignore the planet-sized elephant for a second.........dude was straight-up not a very good GM with Chicago.

One of the few good things I will say about Terry Pegula is that he would never even consider hiring someone like Stan Bowman.

Again ignoring the galaxy-sized elephant.......if Terry fires Kevyn, this is EXACTLY the type of hire I'd expect -- an experienced GM who wasn't good in his last stop(s).

It is one thing to hire someone who is bad at their job. It's another to hire someone who is a complete moral failure who did something as vile as Bowman.

GMs are difficult to assess. I thought Ken Holland was absolutely awful for Detroit...and was mostly pretty bad in Edmonton too, considering what he was working with. But he ended up bringing that team to the finals, so...

 

[HaNotsri]

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.

I'd like Jeff Jackson as GM for the Sabres after or during this season.

Well, he’s got a position above Stan Bowman in Edmonton so I don’t think that’s gonna ever happen.

 

[MOGlLNY]

McLeod to become amazing next season after Bowman hire.

Addressing the elephant, f*** the Oilers for hiring Bowman, I hope that organize goes to pieces with him at the helm. Guy shouldn't even be allowed in the league, much less serving as an executive.

If KA doesn't last or goes to President, It will be Karmanos or Forton

Hey Mike, do you have any recommendations for the best/favorite seats at MSG? About to buy tickets to the game here in November. Thanks

Depends on what you are looking for. There really aren't any bad/obstructed seats as far as view of the ice except some in the blue seats behind the goal. The top 10 or so rows on both sides have the scoreboard obstructed but have huge screens attached to the bridges mirroring the scoreboard and a perfect view of the ice. The bridge seats on both sides and the 400's behind the goal above the blue seats are nice if you have nostalgia for the absurdly steep seats at the top of the Aud.

Thanks so much for the feedback! I usually buy tickets from a season ticket-holding co-worker (had them since 1980), so I've never had a choice before. This helps a lot, thanks.

Mightve been posted here already. It's really nice to see that no Sabres are at the top of the list anymore, just some rando's in other teams

It absolutely does not feel like Jokiharju has been around long enough to have played nearly 350 games.
