If it extends into the season, just suspend him with pay until the situation is sorted out.

Did you read the article?

Just did, I guess he admitted to it. I just assumed that information wasn't released. Thanks for pointing it out.

All good. Wasn't being snarky, just was literally asking "did you read it"? lol. He admitted to it and one of the two witnesses was the arresting officer. No gouda for Mr. Watson.

Yeah, I shouldn't have assumed I guess.
Typically they don't say much about the case, and it happens behind closed doors.

Salary cap officially set for $79.5 million for next season. That's up $4.5 million from 2017-18.

Kinda happy it was lower than originally reported. Ideally that sours the organization blowing their wad in free agency this off-season for the likes of a JVR or something.

Wish this raise was 2-3 years ago.

If they are going to get a forward they need to get Kessell.

The #Stars have extended arbitration-eligible RFA Stephen Johns to a three year contract extension worth an average of $2.35M per year. - Cap Friendly

A second for both huh? That's a steal for Colorado. Many expected Grub to fetch at least that on his own.

Orpiks deal is rough.

Orpiks deal is rough.

It's 5.5 for just one season, this upcoming one.

A lot for a 3rd pairing guy when you need to resign Calson.

Burkeys on the TSN show - with some interesting checkpoints for drafting. #4 being "ignore passports" #5 "Character", which I think should be 3rd behind athleticism and skating.

Arizona's 3rd Jersey announcement ongoing, it's the classic Kachina design again. Glad to see it back

Good on Stars

The only successful defender Stanley has drafted at this point

Johns is easily an upgrade over most the garbage we have on blueline

 

[AmericanDream]

Carlson seems to be staying put in Washington...

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

The Orpik trade made that pretty much a 100% lock

Day 2 about to begin and I don't see Q among the Blackhawks contingent.
