McFarland back in the NHL, his doing as Assistant-Coach Special Teams was not that bad. That was one of the surprising decisions, when Panthers let him go.
Will be interisting if he can do the same in Seattle.

Just watching the ball game tonight and saw on the ticker that Toni signed a two-year contract with the Jets.

Rask is now the only one left from the golden generation of Finnish NHL goalies. The list could look really bleak in a few years:

Saros
Lankinen
Rask (I'd guess he has 3 years left max)
Korpisalo (needs more consistency or he'll find himself in the KHL)
Koskinen (Edmonton is a terrible fit for him and that may screw his chances with another team, he's also getting old)
Kähkönen (Seattle's number 1 soon enough)
Husso (same boat as Korpisalo)
Raanta (injuries and age, I think he goes back to Europe in a year or two)
Luukkonen (hopefully he's Buffalo's answer in net)
Gibson (probably Europe bound, he's toiled away in the minors long enough)
Vehviläinen (don't think he'll make it)
Kaskisuo (already signed in Europe)
Annunen (tough to say at this point, he's just starting his AHL years)

Worst case scenario we have 4 NHL goalies in 2023 (Saros, Lankinen, Kähkönen and Luukkonen).

Unless I read it wrong, are you allowed to trade for nothing in return? I'm not sure I've ever seen that before.

That's what is being reported by all.

Capfriendly says "future considerations" so it's likely nothing or a 7th round pick in 2022-23.

Didn't Bjugstad basically get traded for nothing last year from PIT to MIN?

WTF are Canes doing? I mean I'm happy whenever they get f***ed over

Never was a problem in Atlanta: good character and all time great after knocking out Cooke

I feel bad whenever I see this with him: I thought he would be Atlanta’s Barkov or Huberdeau.

I find it hard to believe that he suddenly let loose after arriving in Winnipeg. Maybe nothing was publicized as attention at the time was squarely focused on the relocation. But regardless, he has been a problem child for years.

He was in a city that culturally valued him. Not a surprise that some of the stuff wasn’t a problem…I thjnk Winnipeg and Buffalo were terrible cities culturally and where some of the problems started. Addictions begin as a coping mechanism

Atlanta is a fun city for a young athlete named Evander ;5

Really? Hes always seemed like a dbag. I hope he goes to prison honestly. That cocky f***

Don’t be an asshat.

NHL and Sharks statement on Evander Kane: NHL, Sharks statements on Evander Kane

Basically: they will conduct a full investigation, because of integrity of the game etc etc.

that might be a bit overboard but he has always seemed like a guy who was on the edge.

 

[Gentle Man]

If he really left his wife pregnant wife, and baby like that


f*** him. He deserves the worst. I'm sorry
