At the Board of Governors meeting last week, the NHL provided 2019–20 cap estimates ranging from $81.4 million (no NHLPA inflator) to $85.4 million (the full five per cent). (The players committed to 1.25 for 2018–19.)

For the armchair GMs

For the armchair GMs

83M+ would be good for us. We have a lot of players to re-sign. EK65 being top of the list.

I disagree

 

[LadyStanley]

Watson of Predators has suspension reduced to 18 games

Deets.

If NHL not happy, they could head to civil court. But I doubt it.

Or change CBA/rules for future domestic violence suspensions.

Sharks alum.

 

[DrFeelgood]

Sharks alum.

I know he wasn't the most popular Shark on these boards but I hope he gets better. I'm glad the league has a program set up for players to deal with non-legal related off-ice issues and allows them some degree of privacy as well with the intentionally vague statement.

 

[LadyStanley]

Another potential suspension

 

[MegalodonOnIce]

Another potential suspension

It was a pretty dirty hit. I'm glad he's going to get a couple games

 

[Lebanezer]

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

That is pretty awesome.

Know he still hasn't gotten GWG against Sharks. Don't think he did against VGK last season.

Heard about that Kenya story, that's really neat. Always good to see hockey played in these different countries.

 

[LadyStanley]

Congrats to Marc-Andre Fleury

 

[Barrie22]

Scary that fleury can be any where from7th to 5th after this season depending on the knights season.

 

[LadyStanley]

Waiver claim

 

[Used As A Shield]

I didn't even know Dotchin made it to the Ducks? I thought he didn't get picked up after tampa?
Edit: Oh I see, Ducks signed him and then waived him to send down.

 

[LadyStanley]

Not gonna help his Calder hopes

NHL Confidential: The biggest "tells" in hockey

Some interesting tells explained.

TSN has been running a series about cannabis and its usage amongst active and retired pro athletes. Part 2 of the series focuses on Jeff Friesen. https://www.tsn.ca/tsn-originals/video/tsn-original-legalized-part-2~1515635

 

[LadyStanley]

How good would an NHL team need to be to have the same...

Paywall

Interesting exercise in what a NHL team would have to look like (damn the salary cap) to be as good in the NHL as the NBA Warriors look on pape.

Alex tuch signed for 7 years at 4.7 mil per year.
