Damn does he have a great shot!
Foegele wishes he had those hands

But did you hear about that one time in Detroit?Basically, you can waive anybody and assign them to Bakersfield and thus not count 1.25M (its close to that figure, not sure about the 2024-25 stipulation) towards the cap. Obviously you could lose them on waivers.
I think that upfront they would do that with Ryan if they had to. He's had a good run but he's getting close to the end of the line. Ditto for Perry.
Brown (on defense) could go down too.
Jackson knows spreadsheets and numbers. As a player agent he had to be pretty good at calculations that looked down the road. This is a skill that Holland lacked.
Jeff Jackson Canada Day Code Red. Dedicated to all rival NHL teams...Go time in the Jeff Jackson era. Time to test two theories:
i. A former agent at the helm with drag contract costs and squeeze value
ii. Free agents will sacrifice bucks for a contending team (specifically one in Edmonton).
You can forgive a player for not having hands but you shouldn't forgive his turnovers at the defensive and offensive blue lines.Wow, going from hands of stone Foegele to this...
Also the Ekholm trade basically landed Arvidsson as well so while JJ had a great day, some of the past moves Holland made paid dividends. Also, bringing Janmark and Brown in in the first place so we shouldn't lose sight of the good Holland did through all the good JJ did today.A bunch of us bashed Holland for trading a 4th for Stecher and 1st for Henrique and JJ just goes and re-signs them for 2 extra years plus swapped the 1st to next year to get a prospect the scouts were high on. We’re pretty much getting maximum value now for that 1st and 4th.

Good post-thanks.
He probably believes he does have those hands.Foegele wishes he had those hands
I do wonder if Drai and McDavid see what's happened today and consider taking 1-2m/yr less to keep this thing intact longer term. If JJ can get Drai for $13m or under and McDavid $15m or under, they might have to erect a Jeff Jackson statue alongside Gretzky.I'm excited to hear from Drai now! He's got to be fist pumping after today.
Arvi has a way better one-timer than I ever imagined.
What a day!
Jackson for PM of Canada!
I'm still in disbelief that both Henrique AND Skinner signed for less than Fogi.

There are some real bitter people out there and some who are genuinely impressed.Loving the vibe on the mains!
There’s bad and then there’s Chia bad. I have no clue how he still has a job or any respect in the NHl.Good post-thanks.
No wonder McDavid didn't win a cup with that ensemble.
I don't even remember Gravel or Petrovic.
Did Rattie actually make the team??

after 100 signings I am still working through just what the hell happened today.Which GM won day 1? Obviously JJ, right?
