I did and answered anyways.

It makes an extraordinary mess with contracts. Whatever, not my problem.

They are playing soccer.

Seems to be they have shut down the Swedish Hockey League (SHL) for a couple weeks. Next games are scheduled Dec 12.

He played something like 10 reg season games and a few PO games. Plus TG never used him properly. Not sure we saw enough of him to be a 'good fit' lol.

Hoffman is by far a much more consistent scorer. If we could get him at a good price that is...

I haven't heard he's a goof in the room...

Then you aren’t following the correct ET or TMZ sites, just nod and say nothing.

After awhile apathy is going to set in, it won't end well for some weaker NHL markets.

Wayne Gretzky (20 years, 40 days) is the youngest player to score 100 NHL goals (on March 7, 1981). He's followed by Jimmy Carson (20 years, 116 days) on Nov. 13, 1988, and Brian Bellows (20 years, 179 days) on Feb. 27, 1985.

I was Wayyyyyyy off

Mario Lemieux was actually 19 his first NHL season, didn’t know that. Being an October 5th birthday he was one of the oldest players drafted in 1984. Best player in NHL history!

A lot of it has to do when the great players were born, Mike Bossy had 122 goals his first two seasons but he was born in January, so he was 20 half way thru his second season.

Jimmy Carson was a July birthday, had 92 goals his first two seasons, wasn’t 20 until his third season.

Yeah, I was just thinking of guys who came out of the gate strong. Not many 70 goal players anymore...

Selanne was 22 his first year.

I’m guessing Bossy, Gretzky, Lemieux.
- Pacificgem

One of them has to be Selanne.

....it is JT Miller that the 19-year-old Russian striker Vasily Podkolzin is often compared in terms of the manner of play...Podkolzin will have a chance to come & immediately play with the best partners, as GMJB says. "I think he can jump directly to the NHL"

The full article is on the NHL.com website in Russia, In Russian.

Selanne was 22 his first year.

Podkolzin getting RIPPED in Russian media today; Rick Dahlival (aka
@DhaliwalSports
) and
@Canucks
GMJB also taking some punches. Must mean Podkolzin rejected another SKA contract extension.

Mario Lemieux last year junior...
