I have no doubt Kevyn's making 50 calls today.
What I still doubt, is his ability to get good deals done.

Grier doing some dirty work to free up space for Drury like old times

They just got rid of their albatross contract, which is something Adams hasn’t been able to do. The Kings makes Adams look bad here, if anything.

They traded for and signed that player only 1 year ago. They traded away assets to get him.
You call that a win?
There is an old poker saying
"You gotta give action to get action", i.e. if you sit in the corner and wait until you have the stone nuts, people are just going to fold .
I think the GM position is very transactional between people. If you try to win every trade or have every trade be in your favor, you'll have less trade partners in the future. It's why Regier couldn't make a trade later in his career, no one wanted to deal with him.
It's a good bit of business for Grier, when he's in a position to help other teams by taking on overpaid character guys when he needs to fill out his lineup. He's filling his IOU card.

The original deal was stupid, but bailing on that contract early will end up looking smart. This deal was probably smart, a half correction of a major mistake.
LA getting out from under PLD's deal after how this year went and getting an option for their #1 goalie. Looks good there.
Caps get some top 6 center play with a room that might be less demanding of PLD while they're biding time for Ovie to break the goal scoring record.

Buying out Skinner to pay Kane would be so dumb.Were ending up with Pkane, and your all going to like it !
Them making a 2-year pitch for PKane seems as inevitable as anything else. I'm resigned to it.

Vibe check
Is there much room for positivity after being unable to finish the series for the 2nd time?
This thread is absurd
That seems to be what they are leaning into with Lindy.

It makes sense from a marketing standpoint. Also veteran experience from years of playoff play, playing at PP. Not that I'm a fan of the idea, but Kane proved last season that he can still be productive.
I don't understand why they need to buyout him? I think they needed a center and they're playing a wild game here. It would have been easier for them to buyout Kuemper than PLD.
Activity really picked up. Draft got pushed way too close to the finals. Going to be an interesting week. Do something Darcy.

He’s got the paperwork ready to cut Skinner and no plan for afterwards. Maybe 1 obvious guy who’ll get scooped up, then he can shrug and say the fax machine didn’t work.

Well, I didn't specifically mean Sabres interesting. Is the buyout window open? He was pretty opening criticizing his team so he is not happy. Wouldn't be surprised if he makes unexpected moves. We can't really claim inaction when he jettisoned Mitts in a big trade.
They kind of just change fonts on the same logo periodically.

They also took the crown from the purple and gold era and added it to the Silver & Black bow tie logo.They kind of just change fonts on the same logo periodically.

Lines coming off the letters is too distracting to be in a logo. Not a fan of it.
Clean. Much better than that "LA" thing and the crown is an improvement with a definite call back to the original.
Had lines since almost the beginning. Goes back to when Jack Kent Cooke owned both teams and wanted synergy.
