the Provorov situation and value around the league will be interesting since there are light rumblings that it may be time to explore a trade. Friedman floated it on 32 Thoughts and the Athletic put together a good article about the whole situation (https://theathletic.com/4077511/2023/01/10/flyers-trade-ivan-provorov/). is the guy dogshit garbage now or will he be better getting away from the dogshit garbage Flyers?

Well hopefully the Oilers kick the poo poo out of the Canucks tonight as punishment.

no no, the Canucks should play their most complete game kicking the poo poo out of Edmonton tonight for Bruce and then completely poo poo the bed against Tocchet’s first opponent… Chicago on Tuesday

the thing is, from his exact words, he’s not wrong. I fully believe that players and coaches do not play to tank. the thing is that every time he talks about tanking (including the quote above) he very very conveniently leaves out front offices who obviously clearly field teams with subpar talent that are designed to stink up the joint for years on end. that’s why he’s Gary!

it's wild that you can just say you're doing this now. I guess the NHLPA wouldn't have anything to say about it since the player is still getting paid to sit but seems weird to me!

Minnesota was a weird team to pick up 25% of ROR’s cap hit. Barely holding on to the last wildcard spot in the west with like ~$3mil in cap space due to having Parise & Sutters $13mil buyouts on the books and instead of adding a player to help them they eat some more dead cap for a 4th?

Guerin seems like a huge jabroni

at the very least it weakens one of those teams chasing for the last wildcard spot and gives an extra piece to trade for someone this year, especially since they can’t really do a whole much next year

can’t imagine having a strong feeling on this one way or the other if you’re a Wild fan

Arizona is such a funny team. have to trade for Shea Weber’s contract to hit the floor once they trade Chychrun. gonna play on an actual dump. probably means Chychrun is going to be moving soon though

it rules that Pierre Dorion is gonna leave the cupboard bare for a core that’ll probably have trouble making noise in the East while the team is attracting buyers. bring on Chychrun, Pierre!

holding guys out for “trade related reasons” is smart, and good asset management, and it keeps players paid for not doing work. it also sucks rear end and I hate it. more McKinseyfication of sports bullshit

how many teams are still running 5F powerplay units? felt like it was a whole thing trending up at the start of the year but seems like most of the teams running it have gone back to 4F1D.

honestly it’s dumb for Nashville to retain such a piddly amount for three and a half years since a team can only retain on three contracts. but that’s for Barry to figure out, baby!

Good luck Lars. I don’t really get it from Colorado’s POV though. Don’t they need a second line center more than anything?

everybody except for Mikko Rantanen has been injured at least once pretty much all year, and more depth doesn't hurt. there's still cap money to add a second-line center depending on Eller's retention because Erik Johnson will be on LTIR and Landeskog may be there too until the playoffs start. trouble is finding a second-line center, I guess.
