He’s got a lot of space on the ice out there in the KHL

Bad defense “DiSgUsTiNg”

Worse than bad they ran into each other

First play he almost made a bad turnover too but the defense saved him.

Man the Jackets are in purgatory, if not sports hell. Zero direction, continual incompetence from one front office to the next, ownership that doesn’t care. They’re even worse than the White Sox because they’ve been this way almost their entire tenure and IIRC have won ONE playoff round.

What a hopeless mess.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

In basically a quarter century of existence, the Jackets have essentially had the following to celebrate: two playoff series wins (counting a Covid play-in, those count, our win over the Oilers was the last gasp of entertainment from the old core), two major trades, one first overall pick, and one major free agency signing. That's it, and they still draw decently well.

I honestly think that Columbus is a proven good market at this point to still be reasonably showing up despite having an accolade list that could fit on a small post-it note. If their fans are ever given prolonged competence, much less excellence, they're going to explode.

You should see some of my highlights playing against shitty beer league teams. I look disgusting too.

I went ahead and moved the conversation about Gaudreau's untimely passing to the dedicated thread, as I feel like it would be really hard and distasteful to the severity of the tragedy to be potentially interspersed with inevitable offseason and free agency discussion.

Johnny Gaudreau Dead

holy crap. Just got update on phone Just awful He and his brother apparently hit by a car and killed while biking. They were slated to be in their sister’s wedding today. Awful. Just awful.

Nice contract for Jarvis

[Blackhawkswincup]

I am sure some NHL owners will refuse such deals, but others may be gleeful to use it going forward

Seems an odd thing to allow from NHL POV as it is in all spirits cap circumvention

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

I think Jarvis' deal might be voided.

The cap hit isn’t deferred, just payment.

I think Jarvis' deal might be voided.

Is there anything in the CBA about deferred payments? This might be the first contract like this.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

The cap hit isn’t deferred, just payment. Probably makes him unmovable from the Canes perspective.

Not to my knowledge that's why I think it might be voided. You can't sign a contract longer than eight years per the cba deferred payment is definitely more than an eight year contract.

why did they make him van wilder?

 

[HeisenBaez]

why did they make him van wilder?

Because Seth Jarvis sounds like a frat boy name?

 

[Game suspension]

TJ gets a PTO from the Bruins. I have to think that would be a tough team to make.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Hockey is back this month, y'all

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

I can't imagine TJ making the Bruins he's an offense only winger who sucks offensively.

Shane Doan had a similar structure.

Shane Doan had a similar structure.

Yea I see it's been a thing since 05 that's wild it should absolutely count against the cap.

One of those thing where I am sort of even shocked players agree to.
