Think Nashville/Arizona gets that honour, but this is close.

Yeah you?re right. I didn?t even think about them...

Thanks for reminding me this matchup existed. Taylor Hall AND Phil Kessel on the same line? Let?s go chaos!

I completely forgot Hall was on their team. That makes this matchup interesting enough to watch... in the 3rd period if it's close.

I can't wait for Lou to put an end to this.

Backwards hat.  Not wearing a suit and it looks like he hasn?t shaved in hours.  That?s clearly calling for a paddling.

Not even finished the 2nd year of his 8 year, $4.875mil AAV contract lol

Compared to his teammates, he actually hasn't been terrible. He's been mostly a non-factor and not worth his price tag, but his underlying numbers are at least basically average.

I was looking for this thread to post this exact same thing.

Remember the rumours for Nylander trades involving either Mike Matheson or Brandon Montour lmao

The first part of this is actually true. The second part... probably not but who knows.

There?s more to Chris Pronger leaving the Florida Panthers than has been spoken about. Pronger wanted to be the next general manager and should have been the man to replace Dale Tallon. Word around is that the assistant GM, Eric Joyce, will soon to be elevated to the top job. His background isn?t hockey, it?s national security. The Panthers continually keep trying to be smarter than everyone else in hockey and somehow fail every time they get cute

... part of me is starting to wonder if they're *TRYING* to make it so they have to sell the team to Quebec.

"His background isn't hockey" he said about a man who's been an assistant GM in the NHL since 2013*.

edit: since 2016 actually. He was named the assistant to the General Manager in 2013. Still, 7 years of experience in a NHL front office and Steve Simmons doesn't think he's qualified because he never played in the NHL.
