I'm not either.

But that's my pick. Makes too much sense, to me.

I'm sure its been talked about how Zadorov is suspended...
Could Murray be starting to get fed up?
I still kinda wonder exactly how everything went down earlier this year with him supposedly threatening to go to the KHL instead of report to juniors
He certainly has talent... But is there attitude issues there too?

Hindsight is 20/20, but letting him go to the KHL would have had him come crawling back to be in junior.

Sucks though that you draft a guy like him and he gets to call the shots. Imagine he went to a stacked team where he had to wait his turn?

5.4 in space, they need 5.7.

No room in the top 6 at the moment.

Better than a 75% chance that Myers is moved by the deadline. IMO

Could be just sticking to the rules about missing practice.

I'd think one of the fringe playoff teams with some cap room might go after him...
Florida hasn't been shy about spending on some vets to go along with all their youngsters

Should the Sabres consider him?
Assuming Stewart, Stafford & Meszaros are all shipped out... We are gonna need to hit the cap floor somehow

Random thought. If Richards retires early. Does Philly also take some sort of hit since they signed the contract.

He's going to get claimed.

The 925k savings doesn't help them. They need it all gone to make a play.

"Hmmm.

Buffalo, NY or Manchester, NH?"


Bet that goes through his head...




Not that he would have a choice

He could refuse to report or they can opt to keep him and move him like Nashville did Roy.

agreed, Nolan said that he had flight issues but at this age it's probably best to set an example especially given his early troubles... prolly not much of a big deal

Bingo.

A vet would have been early or called. Hearing he just didn't show up leads me to think Z never called.

Seems it doesn't really happen too often. As soon as you let one slide . it becomes a problem.
