At what point does this guy just get kicked out of the league?

Apparently he hasn't targeted the right (wrong) head yet.

I shouldn't laugh because...ya know, Scuderi...but still.

Some big names on waivers.

I guess Everybody doesn't love Raymond.

Edit: As expected, Markus Granlund has been assigned to Stockton (waiver exempt). Flames with that move are at the 23 man roster limit.

Jackets final cuts are done. Chaput, Bodnarchuk and Faulk have to clear waivers first. Someone should take a chance on Chaput. Solid fourth line guy. Good character guy as well.

William Karlsson made it in, Kerby Rychel did not. Because Boll.


Fuck Jared Boll.

Prepare to be shocked, Bill.

"Last season, a senior Maple Leafs team executive met with Toronto Police Service officers to address concerns that Leafs players were purportedly using cocaine or were associating with those who were, according to two people familiar with the matter."

Nazem Kadri, Maple Leafs forward, to sit 2 more games
