Hip issues aside, Kane was always destined to have a much more gradual decline because what makes him a star are his hands and eyes. As long as he is of serviceable skating his PPG should be at or exceed his last years number.

Gary Thorne is of top five quality in both baseball and hockey. There’s not a voice in sports I’d rather listen to.

Pretty sure it protects against a lockout as well. I’d imagine there’s something else beyond “it’s my money and I want it now” that I’m ignorant of.

Not really the contract I was expecting Matthews to sign. I thought he would be looking for more money, or that rate for 2-3 years. I think it’s a good contract for the Leafs. Whatever 17-18% of the cap is at the time.

It’s not just clickbait but it mostly is

This one is pretty easy. Start with Hasek (39), add the french connection (11+14+7), mix in Dahlin (26), and finish with James Patrick (3).

I like this a bit more, too: 1) Buffalo—bring home the glory 2) Denver—nowhere else I’d rather live 3) Montreal—amazing city and franchise 4) Boston—amazing city and franchise 5) Vancouver—seems like a pretty cool place

1) Ottawa—Middle of nowhere 2) Winnipeg—middle of nowhere 3) Calgary—middle of nowhere 4) Edmonton—middle of nowhere 5) Arizona—no stability

If both shine in camp you send Kulich down to roll his contract and because he can move back and forth freely between AHL and NHL.

It doesn’t matter that they’re very unlikely to win a cup. No team is likely to win a cup. They’re still going to go for it best they can every year until he’s retired.

When you have one of the greatest players of all-time who has been more than generous to the franchise, you do what you can to compete every season. There is no long term in Pittsburgh, it’s try to win a cup every year until Crosby retires. The decade after that doesn’t matter.

Let me know what you think about Mammoth, I’m looking to go there soon with my family. Pouring here in Nashville as well. Be careful in the caves with the rain!

There was a number of years with season ticket holder events that let me meet most of the late 90s-2000s players. I met Miller when he was lost on one of his first call ups in Montreal. I met Rob Ray when I was exited an elevator and he was a huge dick about trying to push in before us 9 year olds got out. Talking cheese with Jay McKee is probably the highlight or bubble hockey with Miro Satan.

Someone hide Madonna

Something singing this is an automated post something something vague title

I will say this about Nashville, I see wayyyyyyyyy more Preds stuff than Titans stuff.

Sabres are going to get a really solid player

Alright, give me Benson now

Boooo

Wow that's a shocker right?

She's been bad all night. Not sure why she can't stop waving that mic around either.

Not at all. But if it did these execs need to hustle off stage a bit faster or this is going to go all night.

Interesting. Definitely thought it was Fantilli there.

It's been a pretty brutal broadcast so far

Why doesn't the clock start for the next pick as soon as the drafting team walks off the stage?
