Nova Scotia?

If they have to use the slug, that’s a good place to put it.

Grzelcyk is a defenseman

That’s an interesting choice of pictures given how that episode ends. Fits in really well with the Trouba story

And the best part? Had Colorado let him go, he would have had to be placed on waivers before being cleared for the Calgary roster. So Calgary would have lost their draft picks with nothing to show for it.

Well he didn’t have to stay in Winnipeg. Just ask Patrik Berglund.

And no movement clause essentially equals cannot be placed on waivers

Yeah, I don’t think I’ll be looking up that one

What on earth is going on in here?

Master of the obvious

The guy made you go to Detroit. You should hate him for that.

Not necessarily. It is dependent on the previous salary. The second bullet point here spells it out.

I was trying to figure out what the deal with his t-shirt in inky's post was. So now it's half figured out. I still don't have a clue what the Ric Flair reference is.

Each time I see his name I still do a double take. I keep thinking of their first round pick from ten years ago. It's not quite Ullmark/Omark, but it'll do.

Are you guys stealing directly from the twitter comments now?

What do you mean by "the Amerks couldn't afford on their own"? It's the same ownership. Sorry if I'm missing something here.

Given that one of very few requirements for the position is age, that whole "debate" seems pretty pointless, doesn't it??

There's nothing like taking national pride from watching a bunch of american guys win a game. It reminds me of the classic moment of bruins fans chanting USA at the habs in the playoffs even though the only americans on the ice were wearing the blue, white, red (nice coincidence on the color scheme).

Just when you canadians have a chance to prove you're better than us, you go and worship bouncyball too. You blew your shot, canada.

My wife is pretty good at keeping the mileage down on her car, maybe 10k a year. But yours puts her to shame.

If anything, these two trades have gone a long way towards completely confusing us on what the actual trade value of a defenseman is.

Wait, they put carpet on top of carpet? With the top layer being shag, I picture you sinking right into that floor. Did you happen to find any small animals or maybe even small children when you removed it?

Does that translate well to tv though? All I can picture is that day where the news anchor screws up and wears a green shirt.

I've always liked the split squad format, at least at the very start of preseason. While you have everyone in camp, get in two games either back to back or even in different locations to get everyone some action. And from the finance side, you can sell a few extra tickets. That window of availability closes quickly though, once you send guys back to juniors or when AHL camps start.

They could also do something incredibly crazy and actually bring on a new defenseman or two in any trade they make.
