That first one is kind of a weird tweet. Like, if a trade isn’t done, then why would you ever tell a team they’re out on a player? Just tell them, they’d need to improve their offer. Meier has no trade protection, so it’s not like the player said he wouldn’t go to Carolina

Carolina is notoriously cheap in all facets of asset management, contracts, etc. When did they ever blow out their brains on any kind of acquisition?

I'm actually curious how many teams fall into the Bally umbrella and how many of them are Western Conference teams? Might be really weird for the competitive balance if the West goes into a pure rebuild mode and creates a have and have nots situation. You almost need a luxury tax system for the healthier clubs to absorb that salary that these broke teams can't afford anymore.

Hickey on hockey: Seismic shift could be on horizon for NHL viewers

Looming U.S. TV network bankruptcy reflects the sorry state of the sports broadcasting business and more people moving away from cable.
montrealgazette.com montrealgazette.com

Bally Sports, which is part of the Sinclair Broadcasting Group, provides regional TV coverage for 12 NHL teams and a larger number of NBA and MLB teams. It owes teams billions of dollars in rights fees. There’s no breakdown of how much money is owed to the NHL teams, but if the cash isn’t forthcoming, it will have a negative effect on hockey-related revenues and that means the salary cap might go down rather than up and the players could be looking at continued escrow payments.

NHL teams directly affected by the impending bankruptcy are Los Angeles, Anaheim, Arizona, Dallas, St. Louis, Nashville, Minnesota, Detroit, Carolina, Columbus, Tampa Bay and Florida.



There is a growing trend for tech companies, which connect to younger fans, to get involved in sports. Amazon Prime has picked up the rights to NFL’s Thursday Night Football. Facebook and Apple TV+ have acquired exclusive rights to some MLB games and Apple TV+ will offer a full MLS package this season, although there will be games involving Canadian teams, including CF Montréal, carried by TSN and RDS.

Just politely answer, you spelled Andersson wrong!

That would be nice, but I haven’t seen anything on Andersson, just Weegar. I’d love to add Weegar the player, unfortunately the contract was about $1-1.5 rich. It would be tough for us to swallow. Especially if the cap ends up going down. I’m not sure how the league will handle that.

I watch flames games because I am out west so i see alot of him. He is tall 6'5 and has a lot of range to keep players to the outside. If he gets you anywhere near the boards you are getting plastered. I like my teams built like the old HABS, large defenses and speedy forwards. It's a recipe that still works. We need that mean element (at least one guy) back there. All our guys are on the soft side.

Yeah but zadorav has no hands or brains. If we had a team like Minnesota I would take him but our identity is skill and puck possession and we can’t have someone like zadorov who is awful at both. Trust me I want some bangers but only if it’s a upgrade.

Our second line is ass in transition by merit of how slow ror and jt are. And who cares if our fourth line is good, they're not scoring.

I can't remember the last time I saw a goal off the rush by engvall or jarnkrok.

Disagree. the second line is fantastic in transition due to positioning, quick stick on defense causing turnovers and also marner is fantastic at transition game. Sure our four line is average in transition but who cares they’ll play 8 mins a game and generally 4th lines are cycle lines.

You want zadorov tossing bombs like zaitsev at our skill guys? We need someone physical but who still has average hands.

I get bored of the lack of real rumors during the run up to the deadline, so I decided to screw with my brother this morning.

I texted him, knowing he is on the road and has no data on his phone and can’t verify, and told him the NHL announced this morning that due to the whole Bally Sports situation the league had cancelled the remainder of the season. Took some convincing that I was telling the truth, but I got there.

He messages our Dad freaking about what will happen with the tickets we have and getting our money back, and my dads just like “what the hell are you talking about”

He phoned me back pretty annoyed lol

I hope you enjoyed this brief trade deadline intermission

See that's the kind of thing TSN should be doing to fill time on their TDL show

Butt they haven't been fantastic.

The transition has been due to turnovers in the neutral zone, nothing to do with a first pass from a dman.

You think line 2 hasn’t been great at transition? They’ve been the best on the team easily since ROR. My point is our team overall is good at transition, skilled passing, puck possession and zadorov is none of those things.

What is your point on zadorov?
