Around Hockey XXI (All Non-Jackets Hockey talk in here)

Filatov still returned us a 3rd, I think Pool Party would fetch that or a player equivalent to that. I still think Milano is a 20 goal scorer in the NHL

If folks want to see a nice illustration of the sort of entitled ghoulish behavior that has had me frothing at the mouth any time anyone advocates for relocation or contraction of a hockey franchise, check out the Callahan probable-retirement announcement thread. Most of the worst stuff has thankfully been cleaned up, but what's left is still enough to make one's blood boil.

You guys remember what was said about Jarmo after he drafted Dubois....??

"FIRE JARMO"

The decision made and the Dubois vs. Puljujarvi argument is a prime example of perception vs. reality, in the modern day world.

I guess you could say Jarmo went all in with that pick, haha.

 

[Nanabijou]

I'd trade one of our "busts' like Milano or Stenlund or Carlsson for him. Even up.

No thanks. I'd take my chances on any of those 3 actually making the jump this season over JP.

NHL GMs respond to controversial spring with dramatic changes to rule book - Sportsnet.ca

Rule changes to both increase and decrease video reviews.

I cannot say enough how much I dislike getting a penalty for getting a challenge wrong if you still have a timeout. I much prefer a mix of the NHL/NFL system.

1. Each team gets two challenges minimum.
2. If you get one wrong, you lose a timeout.
3. If you get both wrong, you lose a timeout and get a 2 minute penalty on the second missed call.
4. If you get both right you keep your timeout and get awarded a third challenge.
5. If you use your timeout earlier in the game and have 1 or 2 challenges left and get them wrong, they're both penalties.

I don't think this would cause teams to throw timeouts away/challenge at will.

What they're trying to stop is the "challenge everything late" phenomenon. Your proposed system doesn't fix that.

Coach's challenge in the NFL is somewhat less of an issue because, frankly, there's a lot of downtime between plays in football regardless. That's not the case with hockey.

when this guy was drafted I truly thought he was going to be an absolute steal and a stud.

Could we have beat PO Joseph and Alex Galchenyuk for Kessel? Yes.

Am I thrilled we didn't? Yes. I could never cheer for a team with Hotdog Phil Kessel.

Bob officially to the Panthers... I'm both thrilled and concerned...

Per the Detroit News, Tyler Wright has been let go by the Red Wings. He didn't stay unemployed long as Ken Holland has hired him to be part of the Edmonton scouting staff.

At that AAV, he's worth it. Remember Letestu from way back when, when he could play anywhere and everywhere? Imagine a 25-year-old version of that and you basically have Sissons.

Good thread re: Leafs/Marner/Clarkson here

Drag on possession every year he's played. Career-high of 15 goals and 30 points at age 25. This is a very odd player to give a near-max term to.

Colton Sissons NHL Advanced Statistics (Even Strength) | Hockey-Reference.com

He has a career CF% of 48.8% which is pretty strong for a guy starting in the dzone 68% of the time.

I will agree that 7 years is an odd term for a player of his ilk.

Vasilevskiy signs an 8 year, $76m extension with Tampa, $44.5m in signing bonuses. $9.5m AAV.

Patiently waiting for Tampa to enter cap hell.

Next year. Right now they have 13 guys signed for about 67 mill next season. Throw in 9-10 or so for point and they are in deep doo doo.

Fenton already out as GM in Minnesota per Russo. That was shockingly fast. (And now we get to worry yet again about possibly losing Zito...)

Idk why everyone on Twitter is so shocked about Fenton being canned...what a disaster

Timing, mostly.

Not surprised he got fired, but why not do it right after the regular season ends and before the draft and free agency.
