Technically, they could fight a 15 year old too… but the entire team is getting released if they allow one of the exceptional status players to drop the gloves.

He has a draft eligible kid already? I just assumed his son was 3 when I read that first post. Next you’ll be telling me that Drury’s grandson is an option in the 3rd round.

I do think that’s it’s pretty clear that they are moving away from that team that looks the other way while Thompson and Dahlin get mugged. The question is just how many goals need to be removed from the scoresheet to accomplish that.

And this is where that new strength and conditioning guy comes in. Hopefully there’s something there. Norris will be his first true test.

I need to see the full offseason to really know for sure. If this is one of those culture change moments, there should be a lot of it.

Has any first overall draft pick lost in the final two years in a row?

Oh the timing.

When it comes to Martone, has a father/son combo ever been drafted by the same team?

Now the NCAA needs to let them stick around after signing.

Ignoring two of the goals he scored that year… maybe that’s why it took so long to get in.

Wayne Gretzky Brett Hull Mario Lemieux No, not three people who have never been in your kitchen. The only three people to score more goals in one season than Mogilny. But by all means, make the guy wait almost 20 years to get in.

And that's one of the things that's actually been mentioned for why he's not in already. They didn't want to vote him in and then no-show the induction ceremony because he won't travel. If there's even an ounce of truth to that, shame on those idiots.

It's about damn time. Edit: And Jack Parker too. I'll take it.

Or they think they'll be worse next year.

31 players paid attention to their combine preparation.

He’s been around that long already? It feels like he was just drafted maybe 5 years ago. But then again, I can’t even remember what I ate for dinner 2 hours ago.

I miss those days. I know that sounds crazy, but your posts were fun and the Sabres have imploded right after he finally left.

That’s something you have to start from day one.

If a move of Peterka leads to a top 6 forward or a #2 center, are they really giving up the best player though?

You also have to give something to get something.

And then there’s the new additions to the front office that could potentially need some time to fully weigh in. If we make it halfway into July with next to nothing happening, then we seriously need to talk.

The bouncyball draft is actually a couple days before the NHL and they still have one game left to play.

Does it matter at all the timing of when a bonus can be achieved? That 20 game bonus for Toews, he can reach that pretty early. It seems like it would be easy enough to count that against the cap, but I can see why they wouldn’t want to do it that way.

Also guys coming off of long term injuries. He checks all the boxes.

Maybe woody can get one too so he can make some bread while he’s having soup and a sandwich all while driving.
