Phew. Impressive. Depending on how quickly I write (lol), I’ve got a year of grad school left. My wife has said a few times that she might think she wants another but idk man. I work full time while being a student and I’m exhausted.

Kick grad schools ass and then figure it out.

So I'm guessing this trade isn't getting announced til after the game? Wish they were holding Smith out. Hope he doesn't get hurt.

Yeah that’s what LeBrun said when the news broke. Since both teams are playing the trade call probably won’t happen till the games are over

He just says the trade will most likely be announced after the game. Still some details being worked out.

The one that came out a minute ago but others chirped in and summarized. Nothing new.

Tip for anyone who wants to read the Athletic - they have a bad paywall. You can open an article, click CTL A and copy it before it brings up the paywall. Paste it in a Word document

Only Yohe Athletic article I see on my feed is from this morning. Lebrun has a new one up about Jake.

You damn well know that isn’t the whole trade. You’re being annoying on purpose

That’s insulting to Grinder. At least Grinder is tongue in cheek and funny. Sammy just female doges non stop

For sure. I followed Yohe there after he left DK and the content isn’t really worth the cost.

Dubas’ history of questionable player evals around the edges of the roster stretch back to Toronto. I don’t think this is just him being hamstrung, I think player eval just isn’t his strong suit.
- Victoro311


I dont really agree with this. Name me one GM who didn't sign a player that did better elsewhere or made a bad trade. Where he came up short with TO was goaltending. Those TO rosters were very effective in every zone the last few years. Around Top 5 to 10 in pretty much every conceivable metric. None of this is to mention the successes he had as GM in AHL and OHL.

It’s gone downhill since NYT acquired it and downsized local staffs to focus more on churning out national news. What made the athletic so special was the collection of local talent. Now they’ve all started their own substacks and I just can’t pay that much money.

Did the same thing. Agree about the content. Don't care about 95% of it. I was going to cancel a couple of years ago and they offered me another year at $24. So I went with it, but wasn't paying attention and they hit me for $79. I figured it's futile trying to get my money back, but I immediately went to my account and canceled.

Its depressing to think that Ovechkin and Crosby will likely play against each other in a meaningless game where both teams are hoping to lose to get a better draft pick.

This chapter deserves one final duel in the playoffs.

The last couple of games are the 1st meaningless games since Crosby's rookie season. It's tough to watch. Sucks being sellers. Really sucks. Kind of depressed tbh.

Reading up on Canes prospects. What is it about Drury that people like (feel he's mentioned a bunch). Seems like a potential 3C. Which is nice but hardly the main piece I'd want back.

Man am I nervous about hearing Bunting is likely involved. Hopefully that means Smith or Graves also going or it means we are getting a big haul.

My fear is Dubas fooling himself into thinking Bunting is an add in the trade. I'm fine adding him for the 3rd line but not super excited about him being a key piece of a deal.

It's rough for sure.

I'm hoping that the pick isn't too low (not top 5) and they just bite the bullet and give it up. Would hate to be in a scenario next year where the bottom could really fall out and we don't have that first.

Honestly, how does Harkins still have a jersey? He’s not an NHLer.
