Around the NHL: 2016 Offseason

We're out of tank mode people, BUF is no longer in desperate need for merely serviceable NHL players.   Why would we take somebody else's scraps?   It ain't happening.    There's a reason these guys are being waived.

Teemu Pulkkinen intrigues me greatly, but I don't think he gets to eight in the waiver order.

 

Parenteau also intrigues me. I don't think we end up with either, though. And that's fine.

 

 

 

Also: Sidney Crosby has been diagnosed with another concussion.

That really sucks. Any idea when he sustained it? 

Supposedly at some point at practice on Friday. 

 

PIT coach Mike Sullivan said they would prefer to keep in house what specifically in Fri's practice may have led to Crosby's concussion.

Yea, I actually don't think Pulkkinen makes it to 2, let alone 8.

Practice? Extra brutal to have it happen that way.

That's.... unusual?   It sounds like he got in a fight?  Otherwise, why would the keep it in house?

Thanks, LGR. 

 

Just feel bad for the guy in particular and the game in general. Once you get your first concussion the next is exponentially easier to get and usually takes less force to sustain. How many concussions has he had to this point? He should seriously consider hanging them up and look forward to his HOF induction and a healthy life.

Anybody else having LaFontaine flashbacks when thinking about this?

Hutchinson and Hellybuyck for @NHLJets

 

Are the Jets tanking? Hutchinson is terrible and Hellebuyck probably isn't ready.

 

Pavelec AND Peluso sent down....HOOWAH!!!!!

 

Armia, Connor, Tanev and Morrissey are the rookies to start the season...

Armia on 3rd line because Staf is 2RW...

Armia isn't a rookie..

First thought I had.

Gotta be a fight or cheap shot

 

Don't discount them keeping mum because they don't want an opponent to know how it happened.

Didn't see this posted elsewhere, Gudas got 6 games for the hit on the Baaahstan guy.

 

At last.  No more "He doesn't have a suspension history".

Interestingly, they said (on NHLN) that the league did consider him a repeat offender when figuring out the suspension. Really not sure how they determine that.
