I'm starting to think I could be an upgrade on the GM position in Buffalo.

Buffalo isn't even remotely trying to be competitive.  It's a bit of a joke.

Between them and Arizona...not even trying to be subtle about it.

See, that's the difference I think between them and Arizona. I think Buffalo is trying, they're just failing spectacularly.

What, you don't think Arizona's rag-tag group of pending free agents is a sign that they're trying to be competitive?

Hope things go well for him.

That's unfortunate.

I would guess this takes him out of the Olympics consideration.

Might depend on how long he's in the program.

Here's a random thought: bare-knuckle brawling should not be allowed in hockey.

I agree. I hope Kassian is okay.

But they ought to continue to allow organizational pettiness

Big waivers dump today, last chance before teams need to finalize their rosters for tomorrow:

Some former Leafs: Carrick, Leivo, Lehtonen, and Gauthier.

One very intriguing option for a lot of teams could be Alex Barre-Boulet, who Tampa signed to a 3-year deal with a $758k AAV. ABB was supposed to be Tampa's next super AHLer to step up and replace a lot of what they lost in guys like Gourde and Coleman. Sounds like he didn't have a great camp but for any team that's not Tampa he could be worth a spot on their roster.

Man Kyle Turris career went pear shaped.

I genuinely don't get how Tampa thought they'd be able to get him through waivers.

I got tickets to see Montreal v Nashville.

I feel a bit dirty.

 

[Kin]

Well, it looks like it might be donezo for Bobby Ryan as Detroit let him go.

That ain't good.

Suzuki secured for another 8 seasons:

https://www.tsn.ca/montreal-canadiens-nick-suzuki-eight-year-63-million-contract-extension-1.1705359

$7.875m AAV.

 

[herman]

7+ is a bit rich for an almost 50-pt player but I think he can make it worthwhile. 8 year deal is a question mark for his agents since the cap is about to go back up?

 

[Kin]

So almost 8 million for a guy whose best season is 60 points/82. Marner, remember, got almost 11 for a 94 point season.

And yet I doubt we'll see Mitch's name trending today.
