Per Friedman the NHL last plan is to speak with the Phoenix Sun’s New Owner Mats Ishbia to see if a deal can be struck for the Coyotes to play there. It sounds like the NHL would pay for renovations to the arena. To maintain the conference balance Houston, KC or SLC probably gets them

Legends has been placed in charge of finding a jersey and helmet sponsorships for the Sabres, taking over KBC Game Day Ops makes sense

An explanation of the Gold Plan https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/2059085 Other options are to average the season point totals over 2-3 years for non playoff teams and base the final draft order on the team with the least amount of points picking first. The final option would be a tournament of non playoff teams where the teams that finish 32-26 play for the Top 8 Picks and 25-17 play for picks 9-16. This would give non playoff teams extra games for additional revenue with the extra games, make each series the best of three with the higher seed getting games one and two at home and the lower seed getting game three.

He also probably doesn’t want a 9mm headache, radioactive tea or to be found floating in a lake face down either.

If Michkov slides to Washington, it would not surprise me if he was in the Capitals Opening Night Lineup in October. There is a scenario where one phone call from Ovi to Putin and his KHL Deal is terminated.

Joe Yerdon and Lance Lysowski mentioned the same thing on the Maintenance Day Podcast yesterday
