Some really fun stories in there like JFJ gets casually tossed under a bus.

I enjoy laughing at JFJ too but the Bruins got Colin Miller, a first, and Martin Jones for Lucic. They flipped Jones for another first too. Two first rounders and a top-4 defenseman is a pretty good return for Lucic, who only had about two more good seasons before falling off a cliff.

My brain understands that Tanner Jeannot and Patrick Kane are at two very different points in their careers and that one of them costs significantly less in money than the other, but it feels insane to me thinking that all Patrick Kane is getting for Chicago as trade assets go is a 2nd and a 4th while Tanner Jeannot gets a first, a second, a third, a fourth, and a fifth.

Kane has a NTC and is apparently saying Rangers or bust so that ties both of Chicagos hands behind their back.

That's true, in hindsight that turns out to be more of a self-own since it sounds like they were prepared/expected to go much higher so it's a combo of the Kings overvaluing Lucic and JFJ getting good value but could have fleeced them for more.

Still a fun breakdown of what AGMs do and how much authority they have.

Ahh, so they traded for the name and not necessarily the player.

Or the player used his reputation to force a trade to where he wanted to go.

I know everyone hates Kane's guts but I think it's a nice move for the Rangers. I think they're still below the teams ahead of them, but with the other moves they've made the distance is being made up. If Shesterkin remembers how to play they could be scary down the stretch.

I think the "hope" is Kane hasn't been putting in the effort because the hawks have been tanking so hard but eh

“It is a constant confrontation between man and his own obscurity. It is an insistence upon an impossible transparency. It challenges the world anew every second…It is not aspiration, for it is devoid of hope. That revolt is the certainty of a crushing fate, without the resignation that ought to accompany it.”

“With the throne of God being overthrown, the rebel now recognizes that it is up to him to create…this justice, this order, this unity…and, by doing so, to justify the fall of God. Then begins the desperate effort to create, at the price of crime if necessary, the empire of man.”

what is the price of crime in the NHL? well, it starts at one drunk cabbie, a conditional first, and:

Eh...who is gone from last year? Vatrano and Strome and Copp up front? Replaced with Tarasenko and Trochek and Kane? Seems like a wash to me.

Talent wise they're deeper but whether that talent has enough left in the tank is another matter

e: I guess Reaves and Gauthier are gone but I don't even remember if either of them played in the playoffs (I think Reaves got benched at least)

Goodrow Vesey and Motte should be a good 4th line

I have no doubt that Kane's a creep on some level, because most pro athletes are, but didn't the rape accusations turn out to be a hoax

OldSenileGuy
Mar 13, 2001
EDIT: No, the rape accusations were not a hoax. The victim's mother (very stupidly) tried to claim that something was wrong with the police's evidence bag or chain of evidence or something like that, and THAT turned out to be a hoax. And one that happened, all credibility went out the window. So when you combine that with the fact that the victim was already facing harassment from his insane fans, they decided to not move forward with the case.

Matt Zerella posted:

Yeah how do you say no to that price?

Very easy. "No thanks, we have a 'no rapists' policy on our team."

Have been against this move from the start, both because he's human garbage and because he's going to make the team worse. Oh well, the tears of every Twitter moron celebrating this trade will be delicious. No one's beating Boston anyway.

Talent wise, they are definitely deeper, but if they suffer a single injury up front, who steps up, Brodzinski? Maybe Cullye?

Last year there were more (not necessarily better) NHL-ish bodies in the conversation. Hunt, Reaves, McKegg, Gauthier. Thin bench this year.
