don't know anything more than that.

the exact line of conversation was:

"He has NO clue what Lou will do or won’t do....he’s going to be in for surprises next week."


so we will all see.

Now that the Marlies won and that's is over I would imagine our coach gets done soon. My guess is they wanted to talk to Keefe before pulling trigger on someone else.

Between Coach, JT's contract, and a goalie trade.. my guess is one are all of those will happen in the following week.

Ek saying Toronto will offer JT max contract for a year is the epitome of foolish.

It's a safe bet they'll move on a goaltender at some point prior to picking at #11, otherwise they start to lose draft pick assets and that complicates things.

Going to be great to have a GM that can multi-task and take care of several issues.

I still have no idea which way Tavares is leaning but it's uncanny how many rival team execs this week told me they thought he was staying put. That plus items on Skinner, Lucic, Carlson and more in Friday Rumblings: https://t.co/bzt3FDonag

Rest of the NHL wants Garth back in charge.

Lou sees this as more than a job and Garth saw it as just hanging out with his buddies and not having to produce results.

Exactly. Lou may be trying to prove he's "still got it". Garth was just keeping his boys club together.

I do think Lou is motivated to show Shanny he still has it.

B.D have a question for you. Is Devon toews going to be ready for training camp.

One things for sure, it’s going to be very interesting (to me at least) to see how Lou feels about the young players or prospects. When Snow came into the GM role his first big move was acquiring Cryin Ryan Smyth for 3 former firsts drafted from a diff GM. It’s going to be interesting to see how Lou feels about Mayfield, Pelech, Prince, Quine etc. All guys Snow had as legitimate NHLers.

Who is the "he" in this statement?

I like CDH but is he going to be able to play over 30 games

Hopefully Prince and Quine are let go? I thought theirs deals were up? I would not mind putting Pelech or Mayfield in a package deal.

That was his 2nd big move. His 1st big move was signing Rick DiPietro to a 15-year contract.

That was crazy Wang.

That was Wang’s deal. Neil smith wanted to sign him to a reasonable deal and went behind wangs back with Dp’s agent. That was straw that broke camels back... and Wang fired him. Then as punishment, DP fired that agent... so he never got a piece of that deal. DP’s father represented DP for Wang’s crapball lifetime contract
