Around the NHL: PTO Season Becomes Waiver Season

What a clown

I believe he was in the substance abuse program previously. I don’t want to jump to conclusions but hopefully someone steps in to get him help if he’s relapsing.

I was unaware of that.

he is still ugly

So much for that trade. There is NOTHING happening on the trade front anywhere.

It's for a buy-out:

That explains it.

That explains it.

Jesus christ... Guy clearly has issues but yeah wave your NHL career goodbye

That explains it.

Honestly I'm impressed he wasn't drunk, that's quite the laundry list of sober threats.

The officer pulled the car over and noticed both men were heavily impaired. Galchenyuk became agitated and began making erratic movements, and the officer asked him to step out of the car. Galchenyuk struggled with the officer before being handcuffed with the help of the officer in training, the report said.

The quote is from the Bally Sports article that was linked in the tweet. Although to be fair the article says impaired by not what they may have been impaired by.

KHL sounds like his best case outcome here.

TBL and Jeannot have come to an agreement.

Lol there were posters in the main basically calling this cancel culture- “how come he lost his job? Can’t do nothin anymore without people wanting to destroy you!” Then they’ll conveniently ignore how wrong they were and that sometimes actions just have consequences.

What a psycho. Speaking of, Sopel is a caveman, so that’s pretty cool. He’s being hyperbolic as hell, but it’s still really embarrassing how some hockey culture is.

 

[Dingo44]

These are mostly surprising to me other than Howe, Gretzky, and Mc David.

Gretzky is UNREAL.

[Willgamesh]

What a cool roster. Fans should enjoy it.

Seems like a mixture of personality disorder, substance abuse and too much money for your own good.
Plus he might be a real privileged a**hole.

Worst draft class ever?

 

[boots electric]

the galchenyuk stuff is concerning. obviously he deserves every punishment thrown his way, but athletes having random bouts of violence and aggression always makes me wonder about CTE. his father's comments about never seeing his son act that way before (if true) are brutal.

whatever it is that's afflicting him, i hope he gets help

Favourite ever non-Sabre.

Bedard, Blackhawks agree to entry-level contract

The Blackhawks and Connor Bedard celebrated his 18th birthday by agreeing to terms on a three-year, entry-level deal.

theathletic.com

There wasn’t a doubt whether Bedard would sign his entry-level contract with the Blackhawks, but it was a question of when. Since neither the Blackhawks nor Bedard was in any rush, they decided to wait until Bedard officially turned 18 to finalize the contract.

I really thought Michael DiPietro would have a better career by now. He was great in Windsor back when I was going to a bunch of games.

Boston Bruins Sign Three More Restricted Free Agents

I definitely agree I hope he gets help.

His dad being involved makes things murkier and I don't put much stock in anything from him. I'm no expert in all things Galchenyuk, but from peripherally following stuff over the years I know that there is a reasonably decent contingent of folks that have characterized his dad as a major enabler and generally dysfunctional influence on his hockey career.
