A 32 year old with 9 career NHL games? Can't see them thinking that's an actual solution... Would they? 🤔

Also, what are the chances Sateri is Finnish for balls.

Pretty good piece in The Atlantic about how dictators get fed false information and make fatal errors, relating it to Putin, interesting stuff. Agree that there's no off-ramp for him now except a bullet.

Gonna need a brave guy around Putin to do what needs to be done.

Watch the Wild pick up Mrazek and he goes on a run...

That would be Leaferiffic!

I really like the Wild, they are my pick to come out of the West, losing to the Leafs in the finals on Nylander's Game 7 OT winner.

I believe Giordano has been traded to Toronto.

A lot of people must be pissed that their yachts are being taken away. I'm sure some knives are being sharpened.

He made the mistake most people in power do when surrounded by yes men.. it happened to us in Vietnam and Iraq... We just happen to have a govt system that most of the time punishes that kind of decision making for the most part... whereas he's screwed..

And for those of the mind set of nukes it would be way worse for him than us.. and no way France / Italy / the Brits or Israel, India or even China let that happen. Not to mention Germany or the Scandanavian countries.. so he's done.. he just doesn't know it yet.

I need this to be true so I can have a distraction from my fried legs and I literally am making dill pickle and cheddar popcorn.

Chychrun is better than the other guys traded, yes, but why is the price to get him 100 times more?

And the insider guys are saying that Lindholm technically wasn't a pending UFA because the deal was already happening. So it should be that deal, plus a bit more.
- GreatGigInTheSky

Price is exponentially more because of the multi years of being locked in at a really affordable rate. That's guaranteed to equate in more competition which results in ballooning pricetag.

Look at Hagel to see how that goes in real time, he's not on Chychrun's level.

Great article. The Ukrainians just issued a press release saying it’s their analysis that the security services are already organizing to take him out and named the guy who’s going to replace him. Bye bye to that guy.

Trudeau actually had a really nice little bit where he talked about how Putin thinks that he is stronger by virtue of having total control but in reality the fact of needing to secure mandates makes democracies stronger.

Yes, exactly. There is pushback in a democratic system. A dictator gets enough rope to hang himself.

The Sabres have only Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen signed for next season.

Petr Mrazek’s hero is Dominik Hasek.
He has two more years at $3.8 million and Buffalo has plenty of cap space.

He’s having rough season but was good previously.

I’d grab him, but will Kevyn Adams?

C'mon, Buffalo!

Figured the move had to be tied to Gio.

Gio and Blackwell maybe? Wouldnt be surprised on a forward coming in along with him. Now its going to be a question of cost.

Prefer Soucy over Gio but….

The bit about not being able to get accurate information about how the people around you or even your own population is feeling is really interesting. Combined with the psychological effects of that power. I want to read that writer's book now. Pretty interesting beat, interviewing and studying despots.

Hagel got a better return than Eichel did. That trade needs to be locked down a something only 1 single team would ever do, and not a trend setter.

Man, Holl's hero might be Lidstrom but that's not a good reason to pick a guy up.

The trend is it's TDL. If a talented young game changing player with multi years of term at a discount is going to be traded at the TDL, it's going to be a gross overpay.

The Eichel trade is a rough comparable for anything. Dude came with a head full of issues, no neck, and a massive cap hit for years.

- drexel

The Azovs have been pretty much rid of Nazi types. Putin is hiring the Wagner Group which is an actual Nazi organization, so there’s that.

The trend it's is TDL. If a talented young game changing player with multi years of term at a discount is going to be traded at the TDL, it's going to be an overpay.

Engvall could have donated some neck to Eichel.

Was it Brian Klaas?

Also Dreger confirms Gio

And the Lindholm deal, plus more, is just that.

Eichel, broken and at his worst, is still in a world above anything Hagel could ever hope to be.
