Montreal put Perry on waivers. I thought that was supposed to be another brilliant acquisition by the Habs.

If he slides through it will be because they can yo yo him and save cap space.
 
Heh, I remember a pic a long time ago of him flashing cash like a gangster in vegas or somewhere like that, and thinking, yeah, he'll manage his money well.

Wasn't Simmonds in that photo?

Yeah, if anyone was hot to claim him he wouldn't have signed for 750k in the first place.

The only reason I could see him picked up was if he had turned down larger offers earlier in free agency and those teams circle back. But I doubt he doesn't clear.

I also 100% assumed they would be playing ON the actual lake itself before I saw the mock up photos.

I would think for safety purposes, the lake is out of the question. Even with a solid sheet of ice on a lake, there is constant pressure, and cracking. You have to be really aware of where you're stepping. Skating backwards is extremely trecherous.

I thought they would be building the rink with their own ice on the lake, not actually playing on the lake's ice surface. But that was also without really know things like how deep Lake Tahoe is/how much it freezes/if it could withstand the weight of everything.

In hindsight yes it was an incredibly silly thought but like Bellemare it was quite the disappointment to come to that realization.

Yeah, playing on the actual lake would be pretty awesome.

Yandle scored 45 points in 69 games last season! He's getting a little older sure, but he's still seems like a pretty good offensive defenceman. And the Panthers are poised to scratch him over... Ryan Stillman and Gustav Forsling? What a bizarre situation.

He's a sheltered PP specialist at this point, isn't he?
 
So Mike Hoffman's contract with the Blues in 1 year/4 million.

That's pretty insane for a guy coming off 36G/70P and 29G/59P seasons.  Last year his /82G pace was 40G/66P

Do we think this all off ice/character issues?

I'd say partly, but I think it's mostly about the precarious financial state and cap issues across the league. Teams just weren't as aggressive in free agency this off season. I think a big part of what happened with Hoffman is that the better options in his position took a while to sign, and then, there just wasn't much space available for teams with the need for a guy like him.

This is definitely an idea.

Until one gets hurt and then it's not good. You could have your 5th D man playing 25+ minutes.
