The PLD - Barzal thing is what I think is going on and what I have seen plenty of others speculate. I don’t get why anyone is worried about the PLD situation. Back before the NFL had defined salaries for draft choices you would always see 2 or 3 guys drafted near each other in the early first round waiting until for the other one to sign to use his salary for a comp. You aren’t a very good agent if you don’t do such a thing. It is plausible, boring speculation that would draw him no clicks.
But no, it seems that Porty has written something saying there is really nothing new to report and PLD will be signed by camp, but he implies there is drama and some threats from the CBJ.

Well the article was 5 questions leading to the start of training camp and the first question was "Will PLD be there?" The article raises no panic but simply talks about what could happen if he isn't. Who gets a shot at top 6 minutes? How will Jarmo and Torts treat someone who holds out based on their history, etc. He's been in town skating for weeks so it's not like there is any delay on getting him on the ice once a deal is signed like there would be in the Winnipeg/Roslovic situation.

I don’t really care about his articles. I don’t know why people argue that others should appreciate him. Or rush here to post a quote from something he wrote. I come to this board because I think it is a decent source of information. I don’t subscribe to the athletic because I see no value in it. I don’t get a Twitter account follow him on Twitter because I don’t see the point.
Let me be very clear. I think you are a good poster. I think visqi is a good poster. I think major major is a good poster. I find what you guys post far more interesting than anything porty writes. Except, of course, when you post a Porty quote.

According to the AHL site, they are still going with a Feb 5 start date. No real details on how they are going to do it.
I agree. I have learned quite a bit from the posters here.

Wow, just now remembered that Murray and Nutivaara trades were actually cap dumps

None of us actually know anything. We just get all of our information from the internet. We are like the Qanon followers of hockey.
Yes, that's true for most people though, scientists and journalists too. Info is on the internet in written accounts and stat databases. What matters is whether you cull off sources of info that turn out to be not 100% reliable, or whether you cling to sources of info that just tell you what you want to hear. You end up with very different sources depending on which route you take.

Of course that means 11 didn't. Either way, Washington is an interesting choice. Sounds like his family is staying in Boston so I'm sure he wanted to stay close. They are probably his best chance for one last run at a cup if their goaltending can hold up. They still need to replace Lundqvist with a capable backup since they only have Samsonov on the roster right now.

Im not giving a flying f*ck about Chara. Im giving f*cks about our team. Im not happy for what Jarmo has done in this break. Murray and Nuti for nothing. Gus injury (well thats not Jarmos fault).PLD still without contract Domi trade was great but i was hoping bigger moves. Okay he was trying to sign Hoffman but he landed elsewhere. Theres still time but i think we still need more scoring ability.

And since the Blue Jackets get so little national coverage we get most of our information from the local writers that nobody seem to like very much.
Well not if you don't open the link.
I would say that is as close to a "fact" as we're going to get in that particular "Prima Donna Josh Anderson" debate.
Kinda weird how PLD himself said he's been in Columbus doing morning skates. But you'll buy into anything negative towards the franchise.
Do we get open season on you when it turns out PLD has been in Columbus and with teammates this whole time, unlike what Lebrun says ?

Brilliant negotiating by Brisson on that one.
2022 is going to be wild. Jarmo appears to have no long term plans (yet) besides "Cam & some Russians."
I'm really curious to see what happens with Grigs this year. I feel like he's being underestimated.

This has gotten overlooked this afternoon but VV is staying in Finland. Kivlienieks is definitely #3. Not sure who else will be playing in Cleveland on the organizational depth chart.
