One of my all-time faves. In listening to him talk about the game in his interviews he has future coach written all over him.Mark Letestu is retiring.
I hope he can come back and work for the Monsters.
Hoffman to the blues
On a PTO
He’ll be signed to a deal once the Blues can put Steen on LTIR
That's surprising. I didn't think he was good enough to play for a team one season removed from the SC.
What do y’all think of the Tampa/Sens deal?
The league needs to figure out a way for teams to stop using LTIR to circumvent the cap. I get its purpose, but it's clearly being exploited here.
I doubt the players association would agree to it. If you limit it you are holding player salaries down that get impacted. I just don’t see the PA agreeing to anything like that and of course the owners like the loophole to bail themselves out.This. There needs to be a rule like a team can only use the cap relief from LTIR for someone who has played their most recently played game for the team. I am ok with a team who is rebuilding to take on an LTIR contract to make the cap floor or use their cap space to acquire assets. So I don’t think a full ban on trading someone on LTIR is the answer.

Call him all the names you want, he can just flash his hand with 4 Stanley Cup rings on it in your face.Didn't think Clod Lemiuex would be an agent, at least not a very good one, he probably still gets triggered at the word "turtle", GMs should use that as a negotiating tactic.
Neither is Jack Roslovic.
Winnipeg is interesting since he just seems to be the odd man out for top 6 time. His contract won't be a back breaker. It's not like he is hunting for PLD money. The jets are probably trying to penny pinch because they still need a d-man and they don't have much money to spend. Even if he ends up being a 3rd line center his contract should be in line with a 3rd line center at the moment. He's not like Wennberg who was way overpaid as a 3rd line center.
Either way, if he is staying in Columbus, it seems he's on his way out of Winnipeg. He'd have to quarantine once he got back to Canada after he did re-sign so he's missing all of training camp at this point unless he signs in the next couple of days.

As long as you understand McCarty sucker punched him before he "turtled".And yet he'll be remembered as a gutless puke, surely not the first to have his major f*** ups overshadow his career accomplishments, and won't be the last.
I faceplanted early and so missed this but HELL YEAHOH MAMA DONT YOU CRY
USA HOCKEY IS DO OR DIE
