I bet Pittsburgh gets Zucker

Why does Fenton insist on making Minnesota worse with every trade he makes?

Anyone know anything about DJ Smith?

Anyone know anything about DJ Smith?

I know that he was probably the least expected candidate to get the job (on hf at least).

To paraphrase the EvolvingWild twins on Twitter...

 

[Pokecheque]

I know that he was probably the least expected candidate to get the job (on hf at least).

Which likely meant he was the one willing to accept the least amount of money.

Without a shadow of doubt, and this was a big factor too.

He keeps this up and he won't be there long enough to see that through. Trade Zucker for picks if that's the goal.

He won't be there for long if he tries to "go for it" either. I don't know Fenton well enough to say he's trying to tank in a way that doesn't tip off Suter/Parise/Leipold, but that's the only way moves like this make any sense. And even then, it still doesn't justify that horrid Nino/Rask trade.

The one real loser in all this will be Boudreau. Hopefully he latches on with a team that doesn't keep trying to pull the rug out from under him.

Didnt he play for us a little?

That's correct

Nashville Predators To Pursue Matt Duchene

I'm not sure I can handle both ROR, and Duchene being in our Division.. We should try to sign Duchy now I think.

In other news, Jari Kurri purchased all 100% of Jokerit.

First of all, what the hell did that cost? But also better find stakeholders quick, because they've been making millions and millions in operating losses.

It's a masterclass in PR. They're definitely still getting all the money from Russia.

I'm just waiting for Jokerit to declare bankrupcty in a couple of years. They're making enormous losses, so big it's not even funny.

I hope they play out the current contract with the financiers and leave the KHL. I want them back in the FEL big time.

Good.

Did we interview Fenton a few years back? Maybe this is what they talked about.

Yup. That would be good.
The KHL novelty has worn off big time.

I like the Fiala trade

So, the season ended right? There are no more games. Because the last game was three weeks ago, so naturally, there's no Stanley Cup Final this year. Of course it would've started already, so does anyone know if the league folded?

What is up with that? Is the NHL trying extra extra hard to give both teams rest for the final. Or are they just avoiding some dates for other sports? I don't follow anything else that close outside of hockey so I don't know, but they do seem to schedule themselves around everything else as sort of the 4th step child league lol.

They might even be 5th if you include College football lol. (Also just talking North America here..)
