Because that’s literally what they are doing. Kulich’s contract is with the Buffalo Sabres, not Rochester. The Sabres loan his contract to Rochester.

Unless it’s what the player wants. Kane may have preferred a 1 yr deal. It gives him more flexibility.

True true. My bad.

I think I’d take Elias Lindholm if I had the choice of any UFA forward.

Different CBA. Different rules.

But that’s not what they are doing. He has been out 3 and a half weeks and just started skating again 3-4 days ago. They are probably applying the LTIR retroactively and maybe he’ll be out a little longer

Awesome. I was skeptical that they would do it. It’s probably the right move.

Why is it better in the Detroit area?

Interesting. So probably either no real contender wanted him or would pay him a comparable amount. I know he is a big name and has had a great career, so it’s newsworthy, but I’m pretty skeptical that he is going to make a difference. Maybe he can help a power play, but I doubt he is helpful at even strength.

Not sure what was meant by debunked. My understanding is that it’s not as significant a difference as a normal person, because road games are taxed at the rate of the area they are played in. It’s still a relatively large amount of savings if you play for a team in a no tax state. For someone like Reinhart, he will be saving something in the range of 250k-500k per year by playing in Florida versus Canada. This a very rough explanation as I’ve forgotten the details and am not willing to look them up right now.

That should be a suspension somewhere between 10 and 40 games.

There is no one statistic that will tell you definitively who is better than who. This stat, just like any other, is one piece of a big puzzle.

Handing out gratuities to players? Thats a new one!

Krebs again put it on his linemate’s stick 6 ft in front of the goalie.

Power needs to get rid of that Austin Matthews mustache.

Who says Krebs doesn’t generate any offense?

.900 is right around league average. .902 as of yesterday.

I think that some combination of Benson struggling, Thompson and Quinn coming back, and maybe Kane signing, could definitely result in Benson being returned to the WHL.

I don’t see how it’s a two year commitment. He could still be sent back to juniors if he starts struggling later.

Power is 21 years and 2 days old. He is not a physically aggressive player. Maybe he can grow into it a bit like Dahlin did.

Possibly zero hips

It was an incident/accident where a couple people died and a couple others got hurt. Basking in the warm glow of the fear, confusion and changing reports is kind of perverse.

For significant stretches of their early career, Mitts and Thompson were as useless as anyone you could name. You can cite the points if you like, but whatever production they had, they more than gave back on the defensive end. They were both horrendous for stretches.

Need to make another Greenway type deal. Who else played for Granato at the US Development Program? Only half joking.
