That's quite out of the blue. Cap websites were basically just assuming that it had been dropped or quietly gone away, that the Philadelphia termination was legit past the 60-day window on the initial filing, and that we also were effectively off the hook.

Philadelphia is probably just about excited as we are that this is finally getting dealt with... uh... fully 6 months after it happened (the termination was originally announced on August 20th, 2024). Way to go NHL. I know your people have been REALLY busy handling... all the other grievances out there?...

With the massively rising cap, this may be the last time to really capitalize on some teams with no cap space. Take on a few expiring bloated contracts to help facilitate trades. Use that capspace and hopefully gain another retention slot.

Why do I still have a soft spot in my Pred Heart for Joey? Joey flamed out (if it's possible to have "Joey" and "flame" in the same sentence) on us way too early. Yet, he was our 1C for the best two years of our franchise. JOFA was an elite line, and Joey was an assist magician. He was also a great guy who loved Nashville.

I still think one of these days we will hear just how damaged he was after that SCF run. There is just part of me that can't help but think he was playing through some permanent damage as a result of all of that.

It's the main reason I'm not as hard on him as some. It took years for us to hear about Wilson's problem.

He visibly never was back up to speed after that. I really think a lot of the "laziness" we'd always hear about was just that he was slowed down by that and other injuries
