Being the son, grandson and brother-in-law of attorneys, I've unfortunately seen plenty of that. There is an inherent moral conflict in criminal law particularly that I imagine is not easy to handle at times.

Assuming they keep 14F, Tierney would be solid for that 13/14ish spot. Could even battle for more time in the lineup. Still a decent player IMO, relatively speaking of course. and obviously that range of spots also hinges on the outcome of the WJC investigation.

My first thought was that he may be McLeod insurance. He was actually kind of like a better McLeod back when he was on the Sharks. He broke 30 points more often than not and even had a 40 point season with the Sharks and then a 48 point season with Ottawa after they traded him as part of the Erik Karlsson deal. He was actually better than McLeod at one point and he definitely scored goals at a much better rate than McLeod did. The fact that he's much better at goal scoring than McLeod pushed him over the 30 point barrier and even the 40 point barrier a couple of times. His last several years he's scored goals at almost a McLeodian rate.
He may even be a potential Miles Wood replacement as the 4th line LW.
He got a two way deal, but I'm pretty sure he'll be on the NHL team to start the season. He got claimed off waivers by Montreal from Florida the last time he was put on waivers last year.
He's better than any of the potential 4th line LW's that could potentially make the team. I'm not at all high on Tyce Thompson and think he has little to no chance at a full time NHL roster spot.

Timo and Tierney played together a good amount in 2017-18. Did well too.

The Oilers had asked the referees to check Kovalchuk’s stick. When it was found to have too much of a curve, thus making it illegal, he was penalized for two minutes.
After Kovalchuk came out of the penalty box with a new, flatter stick, it took him all of seven seconds to get even. He took a pass from Dany Heatley and scored, then rubbed it in as he passed the Edmonton bench.
“How do you like my stick now?” Kovalchuk, then 18 years old, bellowed.
The Oilers were not impressed.

NHL all star news on NYTimes. Long times ago...
I was going to respond that this sounds like you work law and then I remembered.... You do (or did). And someone else already cracked a joke in ..
Also i always thought this little clip was from the same game but i realize now the home/away teams are reversed
For all the bullshit that came with Kovy, that whole era was magical.this was awesome also

The man was an absolute phenom.
Kids an aspiring lawyer. He’s got to graduate first before climbing that career ladder.

I don’t know where my Kolvachuk’s Army T-Shirt went but I bought one via a DM on HFBoards back in the day.
Someone kept theirs:

Gamera (hfb Thrashers user) sold them. I got mine still. She came up to NY for the Thrashers playoff games.... (Sweep).
They had red and some sky blue one
Comets NHL 2-ways and their AHL contracts: (CapFrioendly numbers)
Wotherspoon $325K
Criscuolo $330K
Tierney $400K
Kallgren $450K
Downing 2 seasons at $500K each.
4 of these 5 players NHL salaries would be $775K
Wotherspoon would make $762,500K
The bonkers salary belongs to Thompson. He is on a 1-way meaning he gets his money no matter which league he's in. $762,500K!
He scored 7 goals last season making $175K, which was even over payment for that season. He scored 6 of those goals before Christmas. Only the rest of the season!
This season he will make BIG bucks playing in the AHL. There is no way he deserves an NHL spot ahead of any of Holtz, Clarke, or Foote. Hell Halonen scored 17 goals and he will make $80K playing for the Comets. Injustices do happen and this clearly is one of those instances.
I'd have a tough time facing these guys in Utica (if they are there) knowing the way I failed to earn the $$$ I'm making while they are still making ELC dollars after having had much better years than I had. I'd be buying a lot of dinners this season. LOL

If ever there were a goal where somehow all 5 skaters could be awarded a point, THIS was it.

People forget that Kovalchuk was a ridiculous juxtaposition of huge, fast and absolutely ripped while being -- in his heyday -- one of the best athletes on the planet earth. I think had he grown up in America instead of Russia, he might have been the best linebacker in the NFL. As a hockey fan, we were lucky to have him in the NHL, where he was probably one of the top 20 goal-scorers in league history. As a Devils fan, we were lucky to have him on the team, even for just a couple of years.

I would not be opposed to Hughes on the right wall so he can be both a passing and shoot threat. Meier doesn't seem like a great playmaker so he might be limited from a playmaking standpoint, so perhaps you try him on the left side where Hughes has played.

With all due respect to @Rhodes 81 , he was absolutely wasted in Atlanta.
Imagine if he was on a contending team or even a bubble team.
That team would no longer be a bubble team.

If hellebuyck trade falls thru, I would not mind we bring back tatar for 1 year to play with palat and haula and to give holtz some competition and add to the depth. Wonder why he hasn’t signed anywhere yet, possibly waiting on tarasenko first.
