Dear Lord.... the Flyers...

I was worried about us bringing him in. I honestly don't think Hexy is going to focus on truculence......at all.

Brian Burke had an anecdote where when he was with Calgary, him and BT were considering trading for Ristolainen. Analytics department told them “are you insane?” and he dropped it. Brian Burke got swayed by analytics. And Risto has only gotten worse since then

Soon as Ventura got hired in BUF I bet he said "Now let's take care of that Risto problem.."

Add a 2nd in 2022 and 7th to arizona in that deal with 12% retained on OEL. It's like a capfriendly board over right now.

Couple Penguins tidbits I’ve heard after making some calls:
GMRH has had talks with teams about Pettersson, Zucker
PIT would like to get some Day 2 picks
Any cap space gained in potential moves improves options for adding goalie

Arizona should need defenceman pretty desperately. Do they have any players left?

Acquiring a terrible defenseman? That was a terrible trade lol I mean just acquiring OEL was a dumpster fire, although Garland is solid.

College hockey is weird. It's a totally different product from anything else (honestly Grinder would probably love it), but I (frank)ing loved that team and it was cool seeing them against a rival like BC in a place like Fenway. It was a brutally cold night game in the middle of a polar vortex in January. My friend and I roughed it for a period in the stands just because we felt like we had to off principle, but man we were thankful for those press box seats.

I went to a few penn state games with my old high school coach who was a stud for penn states D1 club team in his day. He gets tickets somehow through a grapevine. It’s pretty cool besides not being allowed to sell beer at that arena. It was a good time.

Yeah it’s up your ally. Only thing you’d have a problem with is the refs break up every single potential fight almost instantly.

Text from my buddy an hour ago… kind of nothing now but I found it interesting… possibly could be something later?

“I haven’t heard anything concrete but Pets and Mccann almost got traded before the exp draft for Robby and your boy Doms! Hahaha was gonna let you hear that 1 yourself! Not sure what happened or how close it was but I heard it the day before lockdown! Guessing here but they probably didn’t wanna expose 2 of Doms Robby or Teddy. I think they knew they were gonna lose Tanev”
