Rebuilding team refuses to pay three whole million dollars to acquire better draft picks. Great job Gary!!

The money laundering team doesn’t want to actually spend any money. Makes sense.

lol what the gently caress are you taking about? This isn’t a coaches challenge where they get a penalty after a denied appeal. Their punishment will be playing short handed with 5D and giving Ben Harpur 20+ TOI

I’m totally confused as to why Rydahl never got at least a couple games on the main squad. Needed a solid 4C all season. Makes sense now since NYR is pretty much forced to play Goodrow there despite how lovely he is at faceoffs.

Apparently Blidh is a bit of a pest, 247 PIMS in 278 AHL games lol

I'm curious what the final straw was, especially with this being painfully overdue. Torts couldn't have been happy at all with the deadline flop

I mean it’s the final, final, final, final, straw but I have to imagine the combo on not moving JvR at the deadline- literally the easiest thing in the world for a GM to do and his big signing once again embarrassing himself, not with his play this time, but with his usual dumb antics didn’t help his case.

DoPS explains it in a single line of the video: Entering an opponent's goal celebration, well after the play, for purposes of retribution won't be tolerated. They do need to keep a hard line on that.

I think the extra game for was taking the blocker and stick to the head against an unexpecting player.

He is due for a calm the gently caress down suspension. Being a psycho when you get scored on is bad when you are also Jordan Binnington. They prolly shaved a game off because of humiliation....

Binnington really needs to be suspended amd told that his being allowed to play in the NHL is conditioned on his enrolling, and staying enrolled, in an anger management program.

I realize this can't actually be done because CBA. But it's only a matter of time before he maims someone.

90% of the league has anger management issues, it’s just very noticeable when the goalie is particularly crazy

Okay, but ten years?

I don't know anything about Fanatics (or jerseys really) so I'll take the goon consensus that they suck at face value -- what's the upside for the league here? Is the NHL somehow getting a pile of cash, contingent on locking in for a decade, from a company that is too cheap for double-stitching?

Who else do they even go with at this point? NHL as usual was probably negotiating from a position of zero-leverage. So sure let’s go ten years. Also I think Fanatics being a cheap bargain bin operation is a positive in the NHLs eyes!

I always hated the adidas collar on their jerseys but yeah at least they are an actual brand

Whole thing is a mess. Bettman exists to keep the owners happy and the owners are all horrible CHUD people. Stupid thing is these players have had it ingrained in their brain from a young age that you are a good soldier and do what you are told and this probably could have been nipped at the bud after the first incident, but the second the NHL let people start opting out of pride and getting away with it was a message to all the owners- you can kill this thing. Bad league!

Fantastic, fantastic deal. Chytil has basically the same amount of EV goals and points as Bo Horvat in 6minutes less of playing time a night (only 14:34!). He's evolved into a responsible two-way center with an absolutely insane smokeshow shot and good instincts to find space in the slot. He'll be in a nice place to cash in, and this guarantees Zibanejad-Trocheck-Chytil as center depth for this little window, and that's great. He'll probably be able to be the 2nd line center as Trocheck evolves and plays more of a "good 3rd line center" Jordan Staal type role. He's 48th in points at even strength by a center (again, near Horvat/Hayes/Bergeron/Barkov/Hertl/JT Miller) getting a lot less ice time.

This is wonderful news

that’s up there with Allaire with Hank, Igor, Georgiev, Talbot, Biron resurgence, Pavelec, Raanta, Valiquette having some good years even.

I wonder if there’s competition for these guys. seems like a huge advantage to be able to get performances like that

Also I’m giving Allaire credit for Halak going from
0-5-1, 3.20 GAA, .873 SV% his first six games to 10-3-2, 2.40 GAA, .913 SV% since then. Even tho I think Halak is well beyond his “learn new tricks” phase.

He's only in the NHL because the rangers best strategy to win a playoff series is to hopefully injure the other team's best player. We've seen this happen before.

Nobody would be happier if the rangers got rid of Trouba and his lovely contract than me but if you really think the only reason he is in the NHL is because he throws hits that injure paper-mache players then you are beyond delusional. stop letting the rangers live rent free in your head, your team is good
