I can't imagine being a Kings fan and having to watch that guy play hockey.

He seems to get to the right spots a lot of the time but is the softest baby man I can remember. And the moment he tries to play hard he does something unfathomably stupid. It's incredible

He can't be worse than some of the retreads looking for work. I guess I'd rather take my chances with him than Benning, Chiarelli, etc. If nothing else, it'd be entertaining.

I guess Senior Advisor to something is a better/more palatable title unless he'd bring Sully in as coach. :getin:

My first indication that my slumber is done is that I am cold and in pain. Praise be to Lou, for the pain and cold tell me that I live, that soon I will serve the Islanders again from beyond the doors of death. Praise be! Invictus Potens is active, my glorious tomb awakens! The Apothecary places his hand briefly upon my sarcophagus in sympathy. His gesture is wasted. I feel nothing that is not directly relevant to the prosecution of grinding out a 50 second shift in the corners and skating back to the bench.

Pain is my companion. The pain of getting bounced in the first round is constant, all encompassing. Death’s legacy, a reminder that I no longer live, my gift from Lou and one I willingly share with these 4th line griders on other Metro teams. My hockey stick speaks until it has run out of words. Thereafter I use its red-hot blade to slash Metro skaters with the mark of death. It is a holy mark, but no absolution comes with it, only two minutes in the box.

LA media are already talking about buying out Dubois which would leave us with another sick rear end DiPietro-esque impact on their cap, so I'm all in favor of him getting that deal:

The Athletic posted:

Where does that leave the Kings? For starters, they need to hire a coach and maybe shift away from the 1-3-1 system that brought much-needed structure but now feels like it’s becoming stifling. But undoing the Dubois mess should be the highest of priorities. The contract, and his lack of production and impact for the money he’s making, threatens the Kings’ future.

A buyout should be on the table, and while 14 years of dead money — on top of what’s already in their books — is unconscionable on the surface, it’s worth serious consideration. One reason is, because of Dubois’ age, the Kings would have to pay out only one-third of his remaining base salary, instead of the customary two-thirds for older players. (They would still have to pay out $11.5 million in signing bonus money). There is the possibility of a trade, but that would mean retaining $4.25 million for seven years — and persuading a team he’ll be worth even half his salary.

Chances are probably good that some team would roll the dice on him at 7x4.25--except he has a NMC and would accept a trade to only one team.

the buy out is better for their cap, makes more sense to just take the early hit and deal with ~1.6 is dead cap for the rest of forever once it goes down

Look you need to cripple yourself for the team or else they wouldn’t have gotten those 5 points in 41 games from Mayfield.

Also I shudder to think of Mayfield skating slower than usual.

I still dont get what LA was thinking with PLD. He still shows flashes of being a good player and that will probably be enough for at least one more dumb GM to think that no, they will be the team that fixes him.

Lol this is such an embarrassing take. A boo hoo shame on me for wanting a coach who has had 6 years of underperforming to be replaced.

It's not like Sullivan wouldn't immediately get hired again anyways if he did get fired (and still get paid all of his huge contract).

He's like Steve Simmons if Steve Simmons also occasionally had inside information on what was happening to the Leafs. So not quite as useless as Simmons but mostly there

But yeah he is largely a hack and Jim Rutherford once told him to go sell ice cream lol

Looks like a fun if very young group.



Can't find a twitter post but Sweden is bringing something like this:

code:
Filip Gustavsson
Samuel Ersson
Jesper Wallstedt

Rasmus Dahlin - Jonas Bordin
Victor Hedman - Erik Karlsson
Marcus Pettersson - Lukas Bengtsson

Andre Burakovsky - Joel Eriksson Ek - Adrian Kempe
Victor Olofsson - Marcus Johansson - Lucas Raymond
Fabian Zetterlund - Isac Lundeström - Alexander Holtz
Joakim Nygård - Linus Johansson - Max Friberg
Hell of a defense although the US and Canada have better forward groups



I posted it a few pages back but here's the US roster so far for comparison

https://twitter.com/usahockey/status/1783194486618656819

e: Apparently Connor and Nelson are considering coming too, would be a pretty stacked forward group. Goaltending is going to be a challenge unless Hellebuyck comes or something
