Incredibly blanket statement. "Crumpling by the day"?? You realize we're talking about Los Angeles not Louisiana, right? Athletes don't live in Palmdale or San Bernadino, they're in places like Manhattan Beach and Redondo.
Having lived in both relatively recently, the description is much more apt for current day NY

SJ wanted to start over from the net out, and realize Hertl was not worth the contract he got.
That’s why you saw Hertl moved minutes before the deadline. It was probably over rentention as BOS had no money.
Didn't the Kings shoot this down?? They're still talking about it on Boston media; but I thought someone posted here that LA said it was not a thing.
Keep in mind the team that fails in completing the deal that would improve their goaltending has more reason to deny, deny, deny. They are the team that such a deal says to the current guys, the 'tenders you need to perform down the stretch and playoffs, that the organization doesn't think you are good enough.

I forgot who it was but someone mentioned that Ulmark didnt reject a deal to LA he rejected a deal to another team and the deal with LA just didn’t get to the finish line in time. Im wondering if it’s something we see happen during the offseason or at the draft ?

Yeah I see people patting Hoven on the back this thread at the expense of Seravalli, but make no mistake, the dude is Blake's Iraqi Information Minister.
It's very likely that its' damage control/make the org look good.
Seems to me that it's just disinformation to muddy the waters.
I'll trust Seravalli over Jimmy Murphy any day.
Like others have said, it's damage control.

Blake: " i swear guys, i had a deal PLD for Ullmark and Boston was totally into it, but if fell thru

That's such hyperbole. I live in LA too. These guys all live in Manhattan Beach and have pretty sweet lifestyles. MB is anything but a dump.
Jimmy Murphy should deactivate his twitter account "out of respect for all involved".

Geographically NJ isn’t too far from Boston so it’s hard to believe it was them but they were one of the only teams openly going for a goalie unless Edmonton or Toronto quietly inquired about him.

The Oilers are very much not in the market for a goalie. The numbers bounced back considerably after the defense became passable again
The Oilers' failed to land what they were looking for, but it was for a top 4D and/or top six forward

Boston actually has the 4th highest cost of living in the US (NY, Honolulu, SF), but obviously that’s not accounting for the insanity of the nicest parts of SoCal and is an average.
It’s got to be Ottawa that he rejected.

ottawa has kickass geography with the confluence of two rivers and parliament hill, and plus it is a national capital city, which means the name is in bigger letters on maps.
i think it was probably the yotes. phoenix has really boring geography.

Rivers and hills?! What about trees and bushes?

Friedman says he hasn’t heard anything to disprove it. In Friedman code that means he’s heard the same thing as Seravalli.
He said LA was sensitive about it because it caused players to consider who was involved (malcontent PLD?). That’s Friedman speak for Rob Blake’s mouthpiece John Hoven leaked that it wasn’t true, even though it is true.

I’m still trying to wrap my head around what an LA deal that was cap neutral would have looked like.
Roy doesn’t make sense with Boston sporting McAvoy and Carlo as RD. They wouldn’t move Ullmark for a rental to play on the bottom pair or push Carlo there.
Danault both has a very long contract for his age and is too valuable to what LA does.
Arvidsson + futures seems like a dumb move for Boston to make at the TDL
LA seems too light at LD to move Gavrikov
I don’t think they would be looking to move Kempe or Moore either. But maybe I’m wrong there.
I just don’t know what it could have been beyond Ullmark plus one of Gryz, Forbort or DeBrusk for PLD (with my money on Gryz).

Righteous bucks!
Kings players live in Manhattan Beach, Santa Monica or in Beverly Hills. Those areas have out-of-state residents flocking there every day. I know I used to live in So Cal.
Ullmark probably just prefers living closer to the East Coast.
Money wouldn't have worked. Don't think PLD was involved.
