Things I want to happen this off-season:
1) McDavid and Draisaitl get signed to under $20 mil combined
2) Peter Chiarelli and Kris Russell get shot into the sun
3) The Flames relocate and leave Calgary with no NHL team

I want someone to offersheet McDavid a maximum salary contract for the hilarity.

Pens should totally sign Niemi as a backup. I'm mean, it would only be a problem if he was called upon to play in the playoffs, and what are the odds of the pens needing a backup to play in the playoffs?

You do realize the Pens have another promising young rookie goalie in the AHL right? This is totally another monkey's paw wish waiting to happen.

Come on Hexy, just let Stolarz play goalie

Everyone said Mason's last contract was too much, yet he was surprisingly good enough. Seriously, Steve Mason learning how to play goalie in Philly of all places is still inconceivable

They could be worried about Stolarz groin injury. I watched it happen in person. Really fluke injury, but he couldn't even stand afterwards.

Not sure I get your argument. So if Murray went down in the playoffs they would start the ahl rookie?

Anyway, don't sign Niemi (when we'll trade you Kari )

Well, what happened the last time the Pens starting goalie got hurt, the backup played one game, and them the promising young rookie started in the playoffs?

what a boring free agency

Well, the Coyotes did sign Zac Rinaldo, and he's still suspended in the NHL , so there's that.

Edit: gently caress you phone, the NHL exists.

All of the reporters are on vacation so we'll never know the AAV.

I think it was one of the New York/Metro teams that did it but some team's broadcast sublimated ads onto the glass on the and it was terrible. I don't want ads on jerseys but at least they wouldn't distract from the game since it's just another moving piece on something you're already watching.

This is something that makes me nervous now that Root is AT&T Sportsnet. They already don't understand proper placement of the score in baseball, so I'm expecting them to gently caress up the hockey broadcast as well.

Who will Marc Bergevin sign next: Tom Kostopoulous or Brian Smolinski?

Tom Kostopoulous is signed to the WBS Pens and is their captain, so that should make it a little easier.

However thanks to his buyout the Islanders will be paying him until Connor McDavid is older than Sidney Crosby is today.

And they are paying him as a broadcaster as well!
