Well stated. I come here to discuss sports and forget about all that other stuff. Go discuss that stuff somewhere else, there are plenty of options.

let gionta walk, sign Matt Cullen

I use this site for work when trying to figure out meeting times for our offices in EMEA and APJ... https://www.worldtimebuddy.com/

He answered 20 questions.... I blacked out about half-way through, not sure how it ended. https://www.nhl.com/sabres/video/20-questions-with-jason-botterill/t-277437090/c-51957503

Agree 100%. He's a nice depth guy to stash in Roch, but will never be a regular at the NHL level... just not big and strong enough for the type of game he plays.

Again, Risto is still figuring out how to defend. He's physical has good offensive awareness, but needs to develop his defensive game, especially in tight around the net where his lack of quickness, agility and slow feet get him trouble. He'll figure it out as his game matures.

Reinhart, Baptiste for Letang

...i should clarify... in this universe he never called her a c#nt.

This is dumb. TM never called her that or any other name. Complete fabrication.

If they expose Lehner while he's an RFA and LV takes him (signs him prior to July 1st), then his salary (whatever LV signs him for) doesn't count toward the minimum cap number they must hit in the expansion draft. LV needs to think long and hard about "drafting" any RFA/UFAs because it won't help them reach the min cap number... there are other more enticing RFAs likely to be available, and they probably only take maybe 1 or 2 at most.

OK, well my thoughts on Bogo are well documented. He's a brain cramp waiting to happen, a turnover machine who lacks focus and cares more about his paycheck than winning. A new coach isn't going to change that.

I can't believe this is even a topic of discussion. It's gonna be a looooong offseason.

I think he understands the nuances of the cap very well but I'm not entirely sold on how it was managed in PIT. Next season the Pens have just 13 skaters under contract, with only $12m in cap space to fill 12 spots on the roster. They have $52m, over 70% of their cap, tied up in only 9 players. $38m, 50% of their cap, is going to 5 players.... Crosy, Maklin. Kessel, Letang, Fluery. That said it seems his philosophy is to pay the stars, then fill in around them with young players on ELCs and such.... I'm not so sure that's going to work consistently. I understand he put a big emphasis on developing the young players, but it's rare that you have 4 guys like Sheary (undrafted), Guentzel (3rd rnd), Rust (3rd rnd), and Kuhnhackl (4th rnd) all making such large contributions. Without those 4 performing as well as they have, I'm not sure PIT is in their current position.

Desiring a successful AHL franchise is nothing new. GMTM said the same thing when he started. Not gonna happen overnight, I thought Roch got better as the season dragged on. It's inevitable they'll get better has they continue to stock the team with upper round picks.

I thought Bylsma was the problem?! He's gone and guess what... Reinhart is still a winger. Now Sam should be traded?! Get over it anti-Bylsmites!

Sees Reinhart as a winger going forward.... sorry folks.

He sounds competent, but it was all your standard boiler plate GM speak.... communication, development, structure... yadda yadda yadda... Nothing he said was particularly enlightening or anything to get excited about IMO.

Well that's a relief... good thing he doesn't want to trade Eichel and O'Reilly, or play a slow non-possession game.

Who said anything about cocaine? Damn.

Ullmark is fine, Vegas isn't taking him.

Amazing that he never scored 20 goals in a season.

when i see that I hear juh-BOT. add a hyphen or something

Petersen is leaning towards staying in school so he can play in the Olympics.

Is there a band everybody likes?
