No one knows that a Hagel is a Hagel until 3-4 years later.

Is he even out at this point? Being evaluated on an off day, does it even matter yet?

Well a third of that money is gone right away, at least for Ogunjobi. Jochen Hecht gets to stick around a bit longer.

It’s almost as if they felt forced to play him right away to please the fans. That would be just plain stupid because it doesn’t matter one bit right now that he plays any of the remaining games of a lost season. I wonder if they may have sat him initially if Boris Becker, or whatever his name is, had been ready to go from day one.

Which begs the question: just what the hell does an assistant or associate GM (or to the GM) do anyway?

She was on 24 for a couple seasons. I had no idea she was the view queen.

So you’re saying they’re just at the start of their extended record breaking playoff drought?

They’d probably also ask “who the hell is howie Mandel?”

It pays to have a much smaller roster.

I know no one wants to hear it, but they’re going to pass Pittsburgh and Seattle. You’ll need to mock out a little further.

Do you actually read this stuff before you hit submit? The neck injury that lowered his trade value was dumb luck?

I was waiting for someone to say it.

Relocation after they can’t pay for the stadium. Clearly that’s the deal

My son is two-for-two with sleeping to 7am after the change. I'll take it.

A Canadian player was traded for an American player. What else would you expect? Do they even have a 1st and a 4th?

They won’t see a return on this deal until the 30s. It’s crazy to think about when you put it that way. Boston fans must be thrilled. It couldn’t happen to a greater group of people.

It may not seem like it, buts it has been 5 seasons.

Please tell me Miles Wood is still there.

Blackwood and Wedgewood. I feel like they’re putting all their eggs in one basket there.

The Marchand return hasn’t been put out there yet either. It’s a Boston thing at this point, making a lot of last second moves.

He's currently in the AHL, which is why people say he's meant for the Amerks. He might see a little time with the Sabres, but he's probably an Amerk for their playoff run.

Their owner is an egomaniac who couldn't accept Rantanen saying no. Give him enough time, he'll destroy that team.

I wonder if the Rantanen thing has anything to do with Carolina having a numbers guy as their GM who probably isn't as familiar with the people-side of things. I've been wondering if that was pretty much Waddell's role, more of the relationship and people-side of things. But then again, they had the same problem with Guentzel last year.

And the Rangers could have done the same before he was ever included in the JT Miller deal. I'd love to know why these things happen so much. Is it just so simple as needing to create an open slot in order to add the guy?

He doesn't have to go through waivers to stay in the AHL right now.
