I would rather be in Bedard's situation in Chicago than Fantilli's in CBus. At least there's a blank slate on the Hawks roster. The Jackets are locked up for years with underperforming cap hits. Just brutal. Didn't they just give Severson a bloated contract too? Let alone wasting all that money on Gaudreau

They also have inept coaching. From Babcock and his shenanigans to Vincent and he not having a clue.
Carlsson is the real winner though. Ducks have a bright future.
Remember when there were posters here talking about trading DeBrincat for Laine??

I'm pretty sure accidents involving a death don't result in a manslaughter charge or jail time unless DWI/DUI are involved, or something like drag racing. Accidents really don't get you charged with felony crimes like that.
Case in point: Bob Menendez (D-N.J.)'s co-defendant wife (then GF) hit and killed a pedestrian in 2018. The cops ended up letting her go without a sobriety test because supposedly the pedestrian was jaywalking:
Bob Menendez’s wife struck and killed pedestrian in New Jersey in 2018
No charges were brought after the crash, which occurred two years before Nadine Arslanian married the now embattled US senator

Well that’s just idiocy on the part of the cops.
Yes, the test for manslaughter is higher than say, reckless endangerment, which only requires the common sense test that the person in question should have reasonable concluded his/her actions would increase the risk of harm.
That said, somebody racing at 120mph past a school zone that hits a kid is absolutely going to get charged with manslaughter. Whether thats the charge the sticks or he pleads down is up to the prosecution.
Back to the discussion though, I dont know or even have an opinion on whether the incident merits charges. I simply want an investigation. If it comes up empty, so be it, at least due diligence was done. I hate the notion that ‘it happened during a hockey game’ is an automatic get out of jail free card for dangerous or malicious behaviour that falls well outside the realm of accepted risk when playing a sport.
Again, not saying that happened here, just very open to investigations done on a case by case basis.

The accountability era?
Which is the definition of an NHL franchise's nightmare. It took Hawks many years but at least when they finally were good they went all the way.

Canes are the Canucks of the 2007-13 era. Good but not good enough. And they have never had that killer.

Crazy the Oilers are at Hawks level and 3rd worst team in NHL at this point
Oilers = 5-12-1
Hawks = 5-12
Sharks = 3-15-1

Yeah no team with McDavid and Drai at this point in their careers should be this bad
Has to be the biggest failure this league has seen over the last handful of years

I think Ducks get in over the Kraken for the west. For the East the Caps slide out of the playoffs and the Devils end up top 3 in the Metro once healthy. Penguins are a wild card bumping out the Wings.

Wild will go on a run and get in over the Kraken
Devils will go on a run and get in over Detroit.
Don't see much else changing.

The NHL sure loves picking pointless fights that only make them look bad.

I think they don't want to set a precedent for custom masks being used for political expression. Imagine how problematic it would be if he had a pro Israel or pro Palestine designed mask instead.
But this mask was made by a NA designer if i'm not mistake, Fleury has a NA wife, and it's NA Heritage day today so I can't possibly see how it would be an issue.
