Oh I’d definitely like to try and get him back and am far from writing him off. I’m just not sure if I’d trade Drouin back for him at this point.

I think Pateryn and his wife could of handled it differently but the Habs also over reacted IMO. I understand it more from Pateryn's perspective vs Bergevin and the coach in this situation.

Most 19 year old Dmen look like bigger busts than Sergachev....because they aren't even in the NHL.
Even Hedman had brutal stats at age 19 and 20.

It's distance only.
A light year represents a set amount of distance, not of time.
A kilometer could also be calculated in light years, it won't make it a calculation of time, no more than it does for a light year.

That's like saying miles per hour is a distance. You're wrong, and everyone knows it - except you.

It's the distance that light travels in a year, it's a distance and only a distance, the time part of the measurement is just there to set the actual value.

It's not time. It's a set distance that uses the measure at which photons travel, which is too long to write in kilometers, so they use "light years" which represent the number of kilometers a photon travels in a set amount of time.
It's purely distance. To calculate time, you need to know the amount of distance and speed.
Saying it represents time would make it the same for a km. You're still missing your measures to calculate time.
Speed of light is somewhere around 300000 km/s.
Calculate 300000×60(s)×60(m)×24(h)×365(d) and that's the total distance represented by a lightyear.
Hence, when we say travel 1 light year, it represents that total distance a photon would travel in a year, which is a set amount, hence a distance.

But if you go on a leap year, you overshoot your destination by a light day.
Could end up in a wormhole.
I understand the pattern of mismanagement, I just don't think Pateryns situation fits in it. Same goes for Zach Kassian. Both players had to be shipped out because of their own actions, not the teams.

Nope.
Zack Kassian got a fair shot with the Habs, Pateryn did not. The latter was a good player, better than some currently on the roster, but the management was oblivious to this.
Nashville already without Subban, Forsberg, Ardvesson for weeks already...now lost Ekholm and Sissons.

Leafs new third jerseys?
Nice of them to also get a picture with their buddy and teammate Willy Nylander.

Austin Matthews doesn't need a lot of space to score goals. One of the most dangerous goal scorer in the league.

The speed of “light” is a constant. Not miles per hour.That's like saying miles per hour is a distance. You're wrong, and everyone knows it - except you.

When did Ekholm get hurt? Was it tonight? Jeez, multiply the injury days by each player and factor in their importance to the team. So much bad luck...

The constant is used as a measuring stick for interstellar distances.
And miles per hour is an arbitrary constant, but a constant all the same. An hour is an hour, because 60 minutes is 60 minutes, and one kilometer per hour is one kilometer per one hour. They are constants too. The only difference is that light years is a natural constant that we use tge same way we use arbitrary constants.
If one would be able to accelerate at 4 times the speed of light, then would go at 4 light years per second. All it says is that you're goimg 4x km/h, instead of x km/h, where X represents the number of kilometers a light year represents.
It's purely a measuring stick for distance.
