Talking to press in 22 minutes? He done, though he could announce Skinner.

Must win.

ONE MINUTE LEFT TRADE HIM wait SIGN HIM

Here's the backstory, btw. https://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/mike-commodore-rips-mike-babcock-in-profanity-filled-twitter-rant-013915124.html

With all the defensmen callups this year, Guhle only played two games. Pilut played 25, Nelson 22, Hunwick 8, and Tennyson 4. His performance in Rochester this year (27P in 50GP, -11 is a team-worst) also plateaued compared to last year (26P in 50GP, +1), and that was on a Rochester team that got a lot better this year. We bolstered our defense with a young roster player that has potential and is under contract for a while without eating salary or trading out roster players. I think we're doing alright, especially considering we still have two firsts.

Because this board cannot exist without a whipping boy forward and a whipping boy defenseman.

Trade rumors are spinning up. Some yokel on reddit is claiming inside knowledge of the Sabres inquiring with Dallas about Jamie Benn.

***** the Leafs.

Must win.

Absolutely. He went for double sky fist pump, and she read that as single handed high five. She waved right through it. I'm surprised their genetic outcome connected on anything.

Norm Greed. No goal. Must win.

And that's not what the Player Usage Charts say: http://www.hockeyabstract.com/playerusagecharts Pilut and Scandella have the most similar usage of any two same-position players on the team, and neither is sheltered. Also: Must win.

Decker beat everyone in the passing game, except she wasn't considered an official competitor (like Coyne was) because she was being used to demonstrate how the game works. https://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/nhl/nhl-all-star-skills-competition-brianna-decker-1.4994353?fbclid=IwAR2oFHmPifBLHwosktYUlmKwB8VEZVFAtJYqCFmQCc3ae951_DqXAkLR_VE

One of the better pieces of media I've seen from the NHL lately, with lots of Easter Eggs, in this remake of the Silicon Valley opening: Jack's Wings Space Needle coming soon Gritty KO'ing Al, then running up to the museum a la Rocky

Well, the Hall trade was a desparation move to get literally any defenseman on the roster, but every GM knew how desperate it was, and Larsson was all they got. On a team with little other forward skill, Hall understandably flourished in NJ. Still a steal though for NJ, and mostly considered to be so at the time of the trade.

The write up on Chiarelli. We knew he was bad, but it's still eyeopening to see everything listed in one place. https://deadspin.com/the-oilers-finally-fired-peter-chiarelli-who-did-so-li-1831980105 Quote: - There was the trade of two draft picks (one of whom became reigning Calder champ Mathew Barzal) for Griffin Reinhart, who is now out of the organization and scuffling in the AHL. - There was the one-for-one trade of former first overall pick Taylor Hall for Adam Larsson; two years later Hall won MVP. - There was the seven-year, $42-million contract given to Milan Lucic, who appears to have fallen off a cliff on the wrong side of age 30, and is still signed through 2023. - There was the trade of Jordan Eberle for Ryan Strome, who a year later was flipped for Ryan Spooner, who was put on waivers this week. - And on Monday, Chiarelli’s last move was announced: a three-year, $13.5 million extension for Mikko Koskinen, a 30-year-old goaltender with 32 NHL games under his belt

I used it because it's easy to google and post within the maximum ten seconds this ***** deserves.

***** off with that. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/hillary-clinton-uranium-russia-deal/ It is one of the best, perhaps in all of hockey. Management personnel risking their lives to play a shell game with an individual abroad, being tracked by a spy agency, resulting in a liberation and a spectacular personal and sports story success. Here's the Sportsnet piece: https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/defector-2/ An SI article from '89: https://www.si.com/vault/1989/10/09/120762/the-honeymooners-a-bevy-of-the-soviets-most-stunning-stars-has-been-wooed-and-won-by-the-nhl Excerpts from Breakaway, which covers several defections: https://books.google.com/books?id=FSKp2SXjzUEC&pg=PT112&lpg=PT112&dq=mogilny+defection&source=bl&ots=ycWPAf0JuE&sig=ACfU3U1pk7ZwMg1GIjlifzHF6Orb5aQH2g&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjkys6TlvnfAhUEDHwKHZXGDUs4FBDoATAFegQIBhAB#v=onepage&q=mogilny defection&f=false

In this case, it's this.

FWIW, which is nothing, I straight called Pavelski, Burns, and Karlsson. Predictable NHL is predictable.

Must win.
