Most defensive zone giveaways :

1. Jake Muzzin - 30 (TOR)
2. David Savard - 29 (MTL)
3. Brent Burns - 26 (SJS)
4. Jeff Petry - 26 (MTL)
5. Alex Romanov - 25 (MTL)
6. Ben Chiarot - 24 (MTL)


Savard, Chiarot and Petry are pretty much to be expected but i didn't think Romanov would be there, though i guess it makes sense, since we have no depth

I f*cking called it.

It’s been a great run Bish, you should’ve won the Vezina over Vasy in 2019.

That 2012 OTT team that had Craig Anderson, Robin Lehner, and Ben Bishop.

It’s certainly not ideal but pushes back their own deadline of having to move out a roster player now that Mrazek and Mikheyev (days away) are healthy. Earliest possible return is Dec. 27 vs CBJ for Mitch. So there is the new deadline

Per Chris Johnston, if a player tests positive at the olympics, they must produce 2 negatives in 24 hours or else they will quarantine for 3-5 weeks.

Can’t see players playing if they could lose NHL salary and conditioning due to positive tests

It was 3-4 weeks when he was placed on IR which made me question why no LTIR but apparently by taking Mrazek off and putting Marner off it does not affect the cap for the deadline as badly. Its so confusing lul but Pridham knows how to maneuver the cap

I guess getting him either at 3.5mill or 1.75mill beats out all the negative media attention he brings

Plus he still is a good hockey player. Just makes ****ty life choices.

All star captain voting is out
These are my picks
Kyle Okposo
Zdeno Chara
Phil Kessel
Mikko Koskinen


Okposo with the way he's been playing should get Selke votes this year.

"In good faith, we made a promise to the players, and ultimately this is going to have to be a players decision," Commissioner Bettman said after the NHL Board of Governors meeting at the Eau Palm Beach.
-NHL.com

I've long believed that participation in the Olympics this season is a huge mistake and the risk of a nightmare scenario is too high to justify the reward. I guess Bettman thinks the same, or he wouldn't be preemptively distancing himself from the decision. Always the politician, lol.

Bruins, Pens I can get, Stars, Preds maybe, Detroit though, why they’re still kinda rebuilding and it’s definitely going to turn into an Yzerman genius move because the guy can’t take L’s, Leafs I’d don’t really get either, where’d they have the cap and is he really an upgrade on some of your LWingers

If a 3-way trade happens for Kane he costs 1.75m for 4 years and if Dubas plays his cards right Ritchie goes the other way so thats one way of affording him.

As I believe someone mentioned SJ is looking for a 3rd team to help in a Kane trade should their be interest.

I think the more likely scenario could be a buyout but who knows.
