Probably the end for our old friend.

His signing was right at the early Hextall era, so hard to tell how much attention he got thanks to Holmgren or if that was purely a Hextallian project. If the latter, then he will be finished because Hextall Spite. If the former, it's a coin-toss chance that he's signed here.
He can't be allowed to simply retire, after all. The Flyers can't let guys do that before they play here. Depends on if they feel like efforting it and if he wants it.

Did you see Vuollet?
Aha. I spoke to a Canes scout today about how well their Euro crop is doing.

Maybe I'm getting old, but these current jersey trends don't speak to me at all. First the neon nonsense, and now teams seem be on a mission to make their uniforms as colorful as humanly possible.
Gone are the days when hockey players actually looked cool in their gear.

I don't think the Bruins have handled this all that well, but since they're at a real impasse I would be tempted to just let Swayman sit out the season. They would probably still make the playoffs, and have just as many fans at their games.

I don't think it's solely about getting old; I'm getting old too, and I absolutely love that teams have recognized that there are more colors than red, white, blue, and black. I've been playing sports video games since Blades of Steel and RBI Baseball, and one thing I always wanted was to know which team I was playing even when the sprite was pixelated nonsense; the best way to do that was to have a unique color scheme, or at least a unique color balance. (The Oilers being orange dominant with blue and white, and the Isles being blue dominant with orange and white, for example.) Obviously, there aren't 32 completely unique colorways, but if you can do something to make yourself stand out, do it. That said, keep it in your team's color scheme or have a reason why you're stepping out (like Toronto's St. Pats throwbacks), the Stars' highlighter shirts are stupid as hell.
I happen to support West Ham in soccer, and nothing annoys me more than seeing claret and blue at a glance, then finding out it's actually Aston Villa or Burnley on the TV. Give me more uniqueness, do something that makes you different from everyone else.

Reportedly, he's headed for the SHL.
Probably end up pulling a "Jagr" and end his career in the Swiss league.

It's not just the reflexes to put his stick out but the multi-layer processing to lift his pads so the puck won't go in off him.

He's decided to go as one of the members of Da Vinki for Halloween, and is growing his hair up for it?
