I would love it if the Sabres were in a position to take advantage if that "loophole."

The loophole is scheduled to close in time to ensure Buffalo never had a chance to even consider it.

James Reimer signs a PTO with the Leafs.

I’m surprised. I thought for sure he was done.

Except for that pesky little issue where it would require an injury to a star player. Even if they’re coming back, I don’t want to see my team in that spot.

Need to get at least 5 points head-to-head with the Panthers this regular season. They'll probably come out of the gates in full "FU, we don't need Barkov or Tkachuk" mode. But you need to be able to beat them when they lose of their best forwards.

Girgensons scores 2 goals in the first for Tampa. That equals his season total for last year.

They don’t even try to hide it. Yeah, he’s legitimately hurt, but that timeline is so incredibly convenient.
