ahhhhh. nooooo our slow old player we circumvented the cap with might not be able to play now that he's only being paid 1m a year. dang it. poo poo. oh well to the ltir he goes so we don't get hosed by recap

He scored 26 goals last year. Still a rock defensively and his backchecking put younger players to shame. Having him on LTIR would hurt the team more than if he could still be playing.

For the most part, the jerseys look fine. With notable exceptions of NJ, etc.

I actually really like the Vegas jerseys/colors, minus the weird pattern thing they have in the gold elbow band. Also, they would have been way more rad if they had golden helmets.

Wouldn't quite surprise me. Raffle is the best known player left exposed by the Flyers, but Weal had a good end of year. It's still just surprising they protected Laughton over Weal.


Preds chat: Neal was one of the only forwards who can score, so while I won't completely miss him, I really hope the Preds make a signing of someone in the off season to replace him (and losing his cap hit hopefully can help with that).

Because Burke was the GM of the Flames at the time and was annoyed that Vancouver signed Luongo to a reasonable cap hit.

That's it. That's the entire reason.

It's basically impossible to prove that it's made up too. They can just prescribe corticosteroid allergy medication to Hossa, and that would rule him out of NHL eligibility. He wouldn't have any symptoms, but his medication would show up in drug tests as a masking agent or whatever and they couldn't let him back in. It's clever, but such garbage.

I guess that's the "cap hit, no salary" contract the Yotes were looking for to get to the cap floor too.

They made the deal back in February when he was having a lovely season so that's not surprising.

I don't care even if it's a high pick because the cap space will be nice and also the Penguins are b2b champs.

That's a shockingly convenient LTIR for the hawks after Hossa was saying right after they were eliminated that he wanted to come back.

It turns out everybody here is stupid and clueless considering how many people here were convinced last week that Fleury would force the Penguins to buy him out. :v:

another game at nationwide arena. everybody keeps asking me if they can fuck the cannon. buddy, they don't even let me fuck it

Can't the Blackhawks just send him to their escrow team in Florida like they seem to do every now and then?

And go figure we get the least fun option for the Penguins and Fleury. Golden Knights and Golden Horseshoes.

I don't doubt skin conditions are very real with hockey players, and I'm sure it's as real with Hossa as it is with any other players. What I question here is the timing of all this. Suddenly he can't put on hockey equipment and the hawks get some incredibly badly needed cap relief.

Hossa's (short) statement hinted this has been going on for a couple years and has been getting worse. He probably saw some more specialists after they got booted from the playoffs, Blackhawks management saw the report and went "heyyyyyy wait a minute we can use this!" and encouraged him to take a year off to help Hossa/the salary cap.

I can't imagine shoveling immunosuppressants down your throat is a good thing for a travelling athlete to do.

2 years ago I started breaking out all over in itchy patches that would come and go. Went to a dermo and he said that my body just decided to produce a bunch of histamines because it thought it was being attacked. This literally came out of nowhere and was miserable. So I took Allegra every day for about 9 months and then one day I realized it was just gone. Hasn't been back. The adult human body is weird and poo poo just jumps up out of nowhere. Add that in with a lifetime of wearing nasty, sweaty, stinky gear 6 or 7 days a week and I'm sure that something like this could definitely happen.

What I'm saying is that I'm basically Marian Hossa.
