Honestly he's so good though. In fairness, im not high on savoie, and maybe too high on Andersson.

But thats a top pair RHD making less than 5 mil. Its basically the D version of Tuch.
- Michael Ghofrani

Sorry, he's still not worth those 3 players. I can understand Calgary not wanting to trade him, that's fine, but his value is not those 3.

The idea that the Flames would trade Andersson is ludicrous.

Writers including it in trade articles are crazy.

Curious why you're not big on Savoie.
- kingcong39

I don't view him as a bust or anything, but he's not a "can't part with under any circumstances" type of player imo. His shooting talent or playmaking ability is good, but its not at a level where I think it's gamebreaking.

Yeah i think its okay to say this is an overpay, but calgary wouldn't/shouldn't take it.

He played at a 40-45 ish point pace most of the year
- sbroads24

He was a ⚫️ the first 3 months.

It also feels like they were used to being the bully team up to this point, but now they are the ones being bullied.
- kingcong39

Idk, if it’s being bullied, they’re just off in every way. And Vegas is relentlessly in their faces taking away time and space.
Can’t string passes together. Flub passes that should be a set up for a shot on goal. Defense all confused and making mistakes they haven’t been making. Break up a play, only to send a pass right back onto a Vegas stick. They just all around suck, right now. Vegas is taking it to them, they’re clicking while the Panthers are sputtering. Like a friggin avalanche coming down the mountain. Florida is frustrated and only making it worse for themselves.
Maybe they’ll sort some things out before the next game.

I think he was just being sucked into the black hole that is Olofsson. Once away from him he was pretty good. Last 20 games he was stellar but also playing on the top line.

Hopefully these guys are working on their faceoffs this offseason

That layoff didnt help but cant use that as an excuse.

I just think they've gone away form the tight game they've been playing all playoffs. Vegas is in their heads. They need to calm down and worry about their end first like they've done up to game 1.

They let the Leafs skate circles around them too but they just forced em to keep it on the outside.

Agree, as long as he carries it over and helps the team consistently I have no problem with him, also have No problem trading him for a Piece that might help the Team more.

If he plays like he did the last half of the season I think hes more valuable than the guy he could bring in. Depends on whos available really.

Every single golfer that stayed in the PGA tour just got royally (frank)ed.

They are now in the same boat as LIV golfers but with tens to hundreds of millions less in their pockets.

Rory and Tiger have to be livid.

Has anyone seen the Article from Chad on Dahlin and his contract extension and what is happening. I can't get to it on my phone for some reason.

>>> As a result, the Sabres are ready to make a financial commitment to the Swedish-born defenseman. This isn’t a surprise as Kevyn Adams indicated that this was his plan going into the offseason. Multiple sources have indicated the two sides have been working away on a contract extension and they’re close to finalizing an agreement. The expectation is it’ll be a long-term deal with an annual average value of around $10 million once it is completed.

>>> Leader
Dahlin’s impact on the team goes beyond what he can do on the ice. He has become a big part of the community in Buffalo and has talked about how much the city means to him on numerous occasions.

From what I’ve been told, he has stepped up into a big role as a team leader in the locker room for the last two years. So much so that multiple sources have indicated over the last year that Dahlin is the captain in waiting. He’ll take over wearing the “C” once Kyle Okposo has completed his career with the Sabres. He has earned the respect of his teammates and is passionate about winning.

There's still a lot of details that are unclear as to what this is going to look like. LIV is still going to be on the CW for the rest of the year. CBS or NBC aren't going to suddenly pick up their events, at least not this year. I think what it does do, eventually, is get corporate sponsors over to LIV events.

PGA TOUR Members:

Today is a momentous day for your organization and the game of golf as a whole.

The PGA TOUR - your TOUR - is leading the formation of a new commercial entity to unify golf, one that sees the end of the disruption and distraction that has divided the men's professional game for the better part of three years.

Through a framework agreement, the Public Investment Fund (PIF) is contributing its golf-related commercial businesses and rights (including LIV Golf), along with a significant financial investment, toward minority equity ownership of a new, collectively held, for-profit LLC. This new entity (name TBD) will also include the PGA TOUR's commercial businesses and rights, as well as those of the DP World Tour.

PGA TOUR Inc. will remain in place as a 501(c)(6) tax-exempt organization and retains administrative oversight of the PGA TOUR, including the sanctioning of events, the administration of the competition and rules, as well as all other "inside the ropes" responsibilities; I remain as Commissioner of the PGA TOUR and Ed Herlihy as PGA TOUR Policy Board Chairman. PIF's Governor Yasir Al-Rumayyan will join the PGA TOUR Policy Board.

Upon execution of a definitive agreement, the Board of Directors - which will oversee and direct all the new entity's golf-related commercial operations, businesses and investments - will include Al-Rumayyan as Chairman and me as Chief Executive Officer; the two of us will also be a part of the new entity's Executive Committee along with Ed Herlihy and PGA TOUR Policy Board member Jimmy Dunne. The PGA TOUR will appoint a majority of the Board and hold a majority voting interest in the combined entity.

There are many details to work through as we develop a definitive agreement, which will ultimately require PGA TOUR Policy Board approval, and I know you have many questions. Some additional items to note in the meantime:

Notably, today's announcement brings about an end to all pending litigation between the participating entities and prohibits any further recruitment of PGA TOUR, DP World Tour or LIV Golf members.
We will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of LIV Golf and determine how best to integrate team golf into the professional game. The 2023 LIV Golf schedule will continue as planned.
We will work cooperatively to establish a fair and objective process for any players who desire to re-apply for membership with the PGA TOUR or the DP World Tour following the completion of the 2023 season, consistent with each Tour's policies. This is a complicated endeavor and one that will be guided by established PGA TOUR rules and regulations.
In addition to the financial investment in the new entity for an equity stake:
o PIF will make a financial investment to become a premier corporate sponsor of the
PGA TOUR (and DP World Tour and other international tours)
PIF will make an additional investment in the new entity that will allow us to build an even stronger and more robust commercial business, together.
PIF is committed to significant financial support toward causes that positively impact the game on a global basis.
There is much work to do to get us from a framework agreement to a definitive agreement, but one thing is obvious: through this transformational agreement and with PIF's collaborative investment, the immeasurable strength of the PGA TOUR's history, legacy and pro-competitive model not only remains intact, but is supercharged for the future. Our game, our players and our fans will no doubt benefit for years to come.

I will be on site at the RBC Canadian open later today and would like to invite those in the field to a Player Meeting at 4 p.m. to help answer any questions you may have.

Sincerely,

Jay Monahan

Pretty much exactly what we were talking about a few days ago.

Excellent post. 👍

PGA TOUR Members:

I know I preached loyalty and dedication to the game and said 9/11 was a reason to not support LIV but they just paid me a whole poop ton of money so like you know.

If he was American he would've held out at the draft and pulled a Lindros to not have to go to Buffalo

I think 10 might be the cut. He's in position to push higher.

Makar took 9.5 for 6 years. 10 is about right, and what they probably projected when envisioning their future build.
