No. I started adding it up and the forwards were like 73 mill

Bob has a $10 million cap hit, Panarin has an $11.64 million cap hit, and Jones has a $9.5 million cap hit. That makes if kind of hard to afford $15 million for a a fourth line of Saad ($4.5 million), Karlsson ($5.9 million), and Wennberg ($4.5 million).

107mil altogether. Altho Murray isn't actually signed at the moment (and indeed he just might not sign at all), so I substituted in Moore. And I rearranged the roster to put Karlsson at C with Marchessault.

No love for the blueline: Grading every NHL team’s blueline depth - TSN.ca

We're in the "In Trouble" tier 5 group with Arizona and San Jose.

Well, we set the team record for goals against last year, so I don’t think it is wrong. On the plus side, the future looks pretty good for the defense. But we need to let the recent high picks develop and not rush them. And hope a couple of the younger guys on the team improve.

TIL there’s a person named Tate McRae who is apparently a pop star.
I'm used to not knowing who stars are any more. I don't know if that's self-deprecating (I'm SO old and out of touch) or a comment on a generation of new stars (who the hell ARE these people?) or just the way things are. I do know that I don't have anyone handy to ask about people we see on TV (is that person on the commercial famous or just the person they hired to do the ad?) since my daughter moved out.

Anyway I texted her this morning. She's 24. She's never heard of Tate McRae. So I feel a little better now.

*Rick Nash nervously checking drawers in his office to see if they have any Columbus Zoo brochures left in case Tate McRae pays a visit to Columbus*

I know they're just dating but couldn't help but think of that image.

I did my own investigation, seems she’s from Calgary. Is Sillinger visiting her and he is the guy JD possibly referred to regarding checking up on people over the summer??

Sillinger’s endurance/stamina/agility needs work, IMO. Seems to also have some “baby fat” still in his face, I could see him looking A LOT “better” (quicker and stronger) in a couple years after maturing and building a legit “pro athlete” physique.

That said, let’s hope Tate ain’t a big city girl…

I have similar problems. I don't know any new Slovak "star" and not only it. So when my daughter asked me how I liked one singer, I had no idea she exists. 😉

From her Instagram, I don’t think they’re spending much time in Calgary this summer. I think JD’s statement was more of a blanket statement. In that same interview he mentioned that Jake bean was from Calgary but I don’t think that means he’s checking in extensively on him either

We old guys have to help each other:

I think we should clarify "Candian Pop star"

I think the only Canadian musicians popular in the USA are Justin Bieber, Drake, Rush, Celine Dion, Alanis Morisette and Neil Young. If you are deep in music knowledge, then maybe you might recognize the Tragically Hip, Gordon Lightfoot and the Guess Who.

Arcade Fire, but I suspect they're more of a Canadian employment program than intentional band.
