It came along with the salary cap. Originally they blocked any exchange of money, but they allowed some salary retention after the second lockout.

Yet another reason why hockey is better than bounceyball. At the NHL draft, they immediately put on the jersey of their new team. In bounceyball, they parade around in hideous suits.

I lock everyone into my mind as the same age they were when they first joined the board. The youngsters hate it but PA loves me for it.

Are you even old enough to know what a chalkboard is?

I don't know whether or not he has a family, but I do picture a few less things getting in the way of this kind of workout for a 23 year old as opposed to someone slightly older.

GOAT has to be the worst acronym of all time. The word itself is one of the biggest negative labels in the history of sports. Maybe you can re-purpose that in the written form, but I constantly hear people pronouncing it in conversations. I can't wait until Tom Brady throws a last second back breaking interception costing them the game and their season later this year. That should make for some very confusing sports radio. And yes, I realize that calling it the worst acronym of all time plays into your post perfectly.

I'll take that job. I wonder how much they'd pay me when I tell him "just delete the app".

Who are three people who have never been in my kitchen? But anyway, Zemgus and Gaudreau both played there. I'm not sure of any Bylsma connection.

2nd best Comedy Central show of all time. But anyway, every time I see this 3OA abbreviation, I'm reminded of why I hate the internet.

15% of zero is still zero. Seriously though, I got a bump like that two different times, but it took finding a new job to get it. I sure would love a 15% boost right about now.

I had heard the story already and wasn't going to click on it until I read your post. That has to be inky under that costume. I refuse to accept any other possibility. And the world needs more people like this woman. Her attitude about the whole thing is great. You just know every single ambulance chaser was lining up outside that ballpark.

It still feels like they were never prepared to actually use those three consecutive picks and just winged it.

So in other words, you never believe Hamilton except for those times where you do believe him? ;)

I want Zadina just so that you'll finally stop begging this team to draft a Halifax player. It should buy us at least one year off from that, right?

We have these stories every year it seems. This sounds exactly like Claude Julien in Boston. The hockey gods really like to string us along before spitting in our faces.

Liger, have you ever tried not getting so damn angry when you disagree with someone? As I read this, I'm waiting for the news story about someone's heart exploding while talking on the internet.

We have a program we use to summarize continuous data that is named "cont". It's a fun one to try to pronounce in front of a room full of people without getting a call from HR.

Can you just block him or is like like here where if someone quotes someone you have blocked, you see it anyway? I have no idea how things work over there.

I saw this one somewhere else. Can someone explain this to me? Just a wise crack about the worst team in the league? https://twitter.com/SlavaMalamud/status/1009081038201675776

You say you're off observing Ramadan, but thanks to this alleged broken rib, I'm thinking your annual extended vacation from the board is something completely different. What have you really been doing?

Or you could, you know, just not read his twitter stuff...

That name doesn't look french enough for them. Will they try to convince him to change it, Kotkaniemier or something?

Could you imagine the reaction he would get from Ottawa fans every single game if he was still there? It would die off over time, but at the start of the season it would get incredibly ugly. Was there ever any talk that what was said might actually be true? I didn't read much about it beyond the initial breaking of the story. That possibility might as well be acknowledged along with everything else. It would still be a horrible thing to go and post about online, but it's just as plausible as anything else out there. Now if it has already been shot down, I'll quietly back away and pretend I never said anything.

Scrolling through some of that makes me very happy that I don't do twitter. It's nothing but a long series of Brick Tamland "loud noises!" posts.

It’s an undervalued talent.
