What's the hold up on the Molnar deal? Taking a lot longer than expected.

No worries - Erie’s just justifying giving him to you for free w nothing in return

No idea. Maybe our GM is really nice and doesn't like free and Erie ends up with some picks lol

We got notice on the interwebs of a "big announcement" tomorrow at 10 AM, EST. Unless it's Quentin Musty coming over I don't think it's about a trade, but who knows lol.

I just hope that it's not about $5 beers... the last time Sudbury made a HUGE announcement that's what it was about, fingers crossed that its actually big news!

I'm thinking it's a jersey retirement. McDavid?

Keep telling yourself that -we know better

We’re thinking a couple of orders of poutine or freedom fries is better than nothing at this point…

Any idea what Misiak is out for?

If someone wants to check it...I'm fairly certain Roysten has more fights than he does points. Not a promising sign for a 2nd round pick, even if he's on the younger side.

January 10, 2025 is McDavid Jersey Retirement night...

Good stuff...

Edit: also to note, the announcement for today is 97 days away from Connor McDavid coming back to Erie. A bit of marketing genius.

About time!

In all seriousness, we knew this day was inevitable but im glad they waited a bit of time before actually doing it. I’m happy they have at least a solid team this year as well. And I’m also happy they are doing McDavid first. I think many fans speculated Debrincat/Strome and yes, I think their time should come but imo, I would wait another 5+ years for that… if possible. McDavid started it all and without him, none of the rest happens and given his status in the pros, he’s more deserving of this moment, at this time. And they basically waited a decade to bring him back so it seems right. Man, I wish McDavid won the cup in the summer even more now.. just as more of a statement with his overall legacy but this is exciting! Can’t wait to go
