News from Around the AHL/NHL/KHL 2020-21

[Strummergas]

Fire as in "should be thrown into a".

 

[Richie Daggers Crime]

Where is your god now?

 

[danteipp]

Teal + burnt umber + the fisherman = hot garbage

Woof

 

[danteipp]

I guess we should also be thankful that they didn't bring back the Great Pumpkin jerseys as well.

 

[Quicklime]

That image is every incorrect way to attempt using sea green & copper — which could otherwise not only go on a jersey without causing blindness, but take a color scheme that hasn’t had dibs called yet.

 

[Big L]

I know thanksgiving is over, but I’m thankful I only had to live through the fish sticks jerseys once.

 

[Quicklime]

Sea green and copper.

in the words of LeBeouf, DO IT.

Just leave the fisherman out of it and include a lighthouse.

 

[doublechili]

I think a pretty cool 3rd jersey color scheme would be the old Ford GT racing colors and just add royal blue (the light blue would be a trim color - not predominant like on the car):

 

[BrockLobster]

Looks like we are a go. Ok can we maybe sign barzy now?

according to every source, nothing is finalized yet. 1/13 is a target date...so fingers crossed

This out today. Not surprising that values have come down for the first time since '01 but Isles $38M loss; ouch! We know the many of the reasons but still, worst in the league by more than 30%. If Covid hits before building starts going up you have to wonder if it happens at all, but Covid or not, makes Ledecky / Malkin continued belief and investment (gamble) all the more impressive.

Thoughts:

Revenues have trended up since they bought in (2020 is an incomplete picture).
The franchise is valued higher than what they paid for it
This value does not include anything for the new arena. Think of what the gate receipts number will be once we're in UBS in 11 months.
The cap difference from 2019-2020 contributes almost half of the operating loss.


You take the short term operating loss to make money in the long run. 38 million to Malkin is an expensive dinner.

I just found it interesting, and yes, 2020 is an incomplete picture (unless, of course, we're discussing the '20 playoffs in which case it is a complete picture and we are definitely top four!!!), but it's incomplete for every organization and so on a relative basis it's still not good. And no, 38M is not chump change, even to Malkin (who people here seem to think is worth billions - I'd like to see that number authoritatively substantiated somewhere), particularly on revenues of 93M.

And how do you arrive at '19-'20 cap difference contributes to half of the operating loss?

There are details if you click the team name. The spending on the players from 19 to 20 increased 18MM, almost half of the 38MM operating loss...ownership knew their revenue limitations and still increased the investment in the team on the ice. This is a good thing that we're not used to.

As an Isles and Mets fan, recent events feel surreal, especially when measured against an otherwise bleak year that is 2020.

Somewhat misleading given that it had fallen in the previous year by 8M and the owners didn't spend to the cap that year, but yeah, I agree, the owners are fully committed which I acknowledged in my original post.

 

[Quickdraw2828]

I initially wanted the fisherman logo on blue, but now I say lets just go with the old ugly uniforms. The teal, curvy lines, bad font letters...the whole sh*tshow!

 

[JKP]

Not sure how many of you guys get The Athletic, but this was a really important article about ex-Isle Mark Parrish that everyone should read if they have the opportunity.

Always liked the player and from what I've seen of him in media, he seems like a good guy.

I'm rooting for him.

What happened to him? Alcohol or something?

Ford GT's are beautiful. If anyone hasn't seen Ford vs. Ferrari, it's a GREAT movie.
Agree these would be cool colors for a 3rd jersey.

 

[CREW99AW]

Yeah, alcohol and at one point pain killers.
It's good that he was such a strong support system.

The article says he is a partial owner of a liquor company and has no intention of selling. I can't help but think is a bad decision.

Also said his wife is in the wine biz. Would think that would make it tougher.

I'm always impressed with folks like Mark or Lehner that are so open and honest in sharing these very personal struggles with mental health issues and addiction. Takes a lot more guts than I'd probably have in the same situation.

Yeah, hoping for him to stay sober.Sounds like his family has been thru the wringer with his abuse problems.

#Isles Transaction: The team has acquired forward Dimytro Timashov from the Detroit Red Wings in exchange for future considerations.
