It’s 10:07 AM CST and DeBrincat is still a Hawk?!?

What is KD doing?! Sleeping on the gas just like Stan was!

Is it round one and two tonight?

If no trades by KD, not sure it’s worth watching until round two after the first couple picks.

Just round one

Boring anyway, now with cell phones, you don't see a GM walk to another table to talk to another GM and wonder what is going on. it is all done by text, or remotely by zoom.

We will finally get to see what we have in KD as a GM. The direction of this team will come into focus soon. Hopefully he stands his ground on any trades and for the love of god don't help anyone else in cap hell. Take advantage of it..... Inhale

I do not expect any Matthew Tkachuk action today. CAL’s sole focus is to try and sign him.

Hearing OTT & BUF were deep into conversations about a Matt Murray trade. Sabres are on his No-trade list, and Murray — as his his contractual right — stuck to his list.

dreger reporting fleury is not signing a 1 year with any team. makes sense. I doubt he wants to move his family multiple times. seems important to him.

I can see him back in Chicago, since he was spotted at the Cubs game after the Wild were out of the playoffs.

Not sure if it has been posted, but for folks in the US the draft will be televised on ESPN at 7PM EST…

Some interesting stuff happening.

The Keith situation may impact the Hawks ability to sit on bad contracts if he retires so that may be hamstringing them a bit there.

You were wrong on John Tortorella to the Panthers. You had Rick Tocchet as the Jets first choice. Now this. The Eklund and David Pagnotta of insiders.



Last two times Weekes was wrong I looked at his Twitter feed to see if he added anything and his original tweets with the bad info were deleted. He took down the tweet you copied and pasted that MAF was resigning with MN.

After calamity level management of the last 5 years I am just hoping for a semblance of direction and competence.

No worries, Wolfie, there will be plenty of whining about the incompetence and poor direction taken by KD. Probably by tonight. If people were barking from 2009-2017, they'll bark about anything and everything, eh?

You seem to have a problem with “fans” complaining while the team won three championships? If people can’t whine when the team is winning when do you suggest people whine?

Seems like he has that "I'd rather be first than right" disease. Infuriating in any kind of reporting.

Sabres were trying to weaponize their cap space. The proposed deal would have netted them another asset on top of Murray. Anyway, it’s a deal no longer

Or if you have another team in cap hell and you can rationally absorb that hit over its life, make damn sure you are compensated for it. The Fleury deal last year with Vegas (no matter what his performance) was a massive lost opportunity by Stan.

Stan knew stuff was coming down the road and tried to win in 1 year, but getting a 2nd for MAF wasn't a complete loss

PENGUIN FOR LIFE!

The Penguins have agreed to terms with defenseman Kris Letang on a six-year, $36.6 million contract extension


Also being reported that the Sens had a deal to send Murray and his cap hit plus to BUF but BUF is on Murray's no trade list and he nixed the deal. If true, reported by LeBrun and Friedman, OTT is willing to pony up to shed Murray.

Letang signs 6X $6 (hopefully that term is a typo)

Georgiev sent to COL for a 3rd.

The deal between Ottawa and Buffalo would have included the Sens retaining salary and Buffalo flipping the 16th pick for the 7th.
