It would have had to be a former life, because they haven't won in THIS lifetime.

Jackets have 30 years to make me not regret the joke.

Good deadline flip candidate:

 

[Markwassillylaugher]

so wings GM Steve Y was unhappy that his Wings dropped down to the 4th draft position.
I honestly like how the NHL did this years draft. their rating were really good.

This confuses me to no end. Happily hand over 8/72 to Skinner but refuse to commit to Reinhart despite being the team's second leading scorer each of the last two years and third leading scorer each of the three years before that. He also hasn't missed a single game in three years.

Obviously Skinner was UFA vs. Reinhart's RFA and it was a different GM, but unless Reinhart is asking for something outrageous (like Skinner's deal) I don't understand how they can't come up with multi-year deal here.

Possible that Reinhart didn’t want to commit long term there two years out from UFA without getting massively overpaid. Given their constant lack of success I think that’s understandable.

Coyotes draft pick admitted to bullying Black, disabled teen

Reports have surfaced that Mitchell Miller, the Coyotes' top pick in 2020, was convicted in 2016 of bullying a Black, mentally disabled classmate.

Why am I not shocked the Coyotes would have drafted him.

I'm hearing Ho-Sang was on time for his arbitration hearing, so progress?

Arbitration, and you get a 2 way league minimum?
That must have been a brutal hearing


/if if went to hearing. If settled before, they must have laid out a very strong case to young Josh

Reports have surfaced? Mitch Miller was well known to be human garbage at least a year before the draft.

Oh I know. That is what makes this even worse. I love the excuses they are taking on why they drafted him.
Can't wait for the Coyotes coming out and stating "We have a black employee in the mail room" so we don't condone this.

I will rethink my earlier position on this.

And just like that, poof goes the Avs cap space.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

And just like that, poof goes the Avs cap space.

Using cap space on a very good player isn't a bad thing.

When it makes GM of the Year Lou Lamoriello look dumb it's even better.

And I assume they will expose Graves in the expansion draft.

Would love to have Toews for 4.1 million per season.
Instead I get to watch the likes of:

Matheson at 4.8 per
Dumoulin at 4.1 per
and Pettersson at 4.025 per
