Just a guess</div></div>

elliotte says the deal is not actually going through yet - he says it sounds like an injury concern is whats causing the hold up (so leads me to Holtz???).

Golden state - Avalanche
Skill from top to bottom represents the new era and type of play in their respective leagues

Bucks - Tampa
Steady, well coached, complete lineup, good mix of defensive and offensive guys, young guys and vets, winning philosophy

Nets -leafs
Small core group of players that get most of the touches but dynamic, this year brought in good group of depth everyone’s contributing what they can but the core still dominates, looks to avenge past early playoff outs

Lakers - Oilers
Just cause if the Lebron - mcdavid comparison and not the best team built around the king. Playoff berth questionable for both

Grizzlies - Devils
Young teams taking over the league, exciting players, can they beat the juggernaut teams in the playoffs?

Celtics - Bruins
Full commitment to defense, Boston connection, has an edge to them, winning philosophy

Heat - Hurricanes
History of deep runs but current group hasn’t gotten it done yet. Well coached, has a star player (butler, aho) but considered not enough of a star to lead a team to win it all

Cavaliers - stars
Seemed like they were washed, vets not what they were, but young guys taking the reigns, defensive commitment, looks like a tough out in the playoffs

Clippers - Jets
Always predicted to make deep runs kept disappointing, injuries hindered the team the past couple years, media talks about locker room issues, look scary again

Bulls - Flames
Attempted a new “big 3” but disappointing, had a lot of expectations at the time, good individual pieces on the team, a little older

Nuggets/Mavs- Wild
Nice mix of young guys and vets, one huge star that brings the team together (jokic, Luka, Kaprizov)

76ers - Vegas
Drama, stars getting moved for stars, hurt feelings, crazy fans, big hype, high expectations sorta not but sorta are being met

Hawks - canucks
Odd moves, maybe should’ve rebuilt, continuing to add pieces, now considering rebuild, have some good players but the mix doesn’t work, league is watching to pull trigger on trades</div></div>

Spurs: Blackhawks

Former dynasty getting started on a rebuild

And possibly the worst collection of bottom 6 FWDs they’ve collected. There is literally no one good at driving play, creating offence (Malgin can).

Is the rule glove to stick or just the palming of it? Sounds like the SN announcers were trying to say if it hit Keller’s skate it would be fine</div></div>

This is the official rule

</div>

It was a 50/50 call but in the officials eyes "Morgan Rielly directed the puck out of the air after being hit with a Keller stick and yet despite that got it down to the ice such that it could hit Clayton Keller's skate then slide behind him to be directed for Marner to get?"

Either way we got more controversy in the NHL but thats what you get with 50/50 calls

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GarthBrooks</b></div><div>Question, does lijlegren need to be on the regular roster then moved to LTIR on the first day of the season? Cause the team isn’t compliant with him on the regular roster with 18 skaters. If that’s the case in two days Dubas has to move either Kerfoot, Holl or Engvall to free up at least 1 mil and change. But if lijlegren can be on LTIR prior to the start of the season then the team is compliant</div></div>

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure they're ok. There is a lot of team over the limit rn and wouldn't be once their players go on LTIR. But isn't Lijegren suppose to come back this year? I wouldn't be surprised if he still tries to trade Kerfoot or Holl because day by day he's losing leverage and not being able to activate Lijegren off Ltir would be bad.
