In a Key & Peele sketch comes to life kind of moment: Greg McKegg waived by the Penguins today.  

 

How did I possibly not know this was a totally real guy?

I prefer this sketch

Was he picked up by the Peg?

NHL shared next season salary cap projection with Governors today: between $78 M and $82 M depending on negotiated inflator with NHLPA in June... so either way, up from current $75 M

Lot of Wayne Simmonds rumors. Some believe he won't be traded because Philly likes him so much, some believe he has to be because of where they are and the Giroux / Voracek deals. Gonna be interesting if he hits the market to see what he does for Kane

Worst trade Chicago ever made.

They traded Hasek once.  Although no one really new how good he was at the time.

Ya I mean, Eichel is to make almost double, but when Atkinson is on the books till age 36, and he has 9 points, Jack's 23 points in 29 games isn't looking so bad, especially by comparison to that deal :lol:

 

I do hope Atkinson picks it up though, I'm sure he will.

[LGR4GM]

I think gms feel they need to give veterans the max length or they'll go elsewhere, and the sad thing is going elsewhere would probably be better for your club.

#Sens will try to make a move before holiday freeze. Lots of calls, lots of interest in the likes of Hoffman, Pageau, Brassard and Ceci. Read below:

We really need to start taking some freaking shots

[Sabre fan]

looks like sometimes the best trades are the one you don't make, as in Turris for Duchene. I still cannot figure out how Murray has kept his job inOttawa. he has made some real bad moves. Nashvlle must still be laughing...

It's almost as if he's wildly overrated.

I'm pretty sure he's dead. Not sure who the GM is now.

Yeah, my second favorite team (lived there for 6 years in the 90s when I was rediscovering NHL hockey.... moved to Detroit from the then-NHL-less DFW area).  :unsure:

 

I'm almost starting to pull for the now-NHL-full DFW team, the Stars, but they're not tearing up the league either (currently not in a playoff spot).
