Don't know, either, from a hockey point of view. The money and term involved kind of worked, though. I don't see any way a 1st is involved if Domi is, though. I don't think Domi is doing all that great in Toronto, though, so they may view it as cutting their losses. I don't live in Ottawa, so I don't watch a lot of Leafs to know.

Could be interesting. The Maple Leafs don't have a ton of interesting trade capital, assuming that Nylander is off the table -- I wouldn't put him on it. So, they have their 2024 1st, 4th, 5th, 6th & 7th. 2025 is ugly: 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th. (When did Clarkgren start running the Leafs?) 2026, they have everything but their 2nd. I don't know a ton about most of their prospects, but Easton Cown and/or (maybe) Noah Chadwick would be my asks. If I'm trading Risto to the Leafs and it's not simply about subtraction, I'm retaining $2M/season for two years and asking for Max Domi ($3M --plus the $2M retain) helps the Leafs get down to the cap and he's a UFA this summer so maybe flip him at the deadline; if not, he's off your books), plus their 4th and either Cown or Chadwick or both. Out: Risto In: 2024 4th, Domi, Cown/Chadwick OR: Out: Risto In: Domi, 2024 1st. I'm dreaming with the first. I just don't see it, but apparently Toronto trades picks because it's Tuesday, so...

Leprosy. I heard it was leprosy.

Yes, he was out for medical. They don't randomly call someone up from the AHL to play emergency backup on a coaching whim. To steal @Samifan:s terminology: finger on the pulse.

Luukkonen isn't even gonna play tonight. That was announced this morning. It's not even my team. What I've always liked about you is you're so on top of things.

Yeah, we all said, "Dave, do it without drafting." Dave says, "I can do you one better, MoFos."

Hynes is not an improvement. I can't imagine there were great choices out there this time of year, but scraping for a career disaster probably isn't better than elevating your AHL head coach.

Me too. And thinner face (or maybe that's just lack of beard)

It definitely says 14, which is confusing me, because I'm not sure it's actually Coots.

This is kind of where I went. In many cities, though, that have multiple sports--at least in the States--hockey is last or near last. In some cities, it's arguably behind college-level games. I'm just wondering in cities that have an NHL team that is already drawing the small percentage of people who are hockey fans whether there's enough revenue available. If they kept it to arenas only somewhat bigger than the Coyotes home rink, it would probably be a nice niche thing. Kind of "hey, what do you want to do tonight? Do you want to go to Dave & Busters, the art museum, or to the women's hockey game? The game starts at 7:30, so if that's what you want to do, make sure to get there before the first row sells out at 7:20."

I didn't have McAfee, so thankfully I didn't have the constant warnings nuissance. I got viruses.

It was only 2nd person, but he prorated.

Fixed it. He's played limited time the last two games and hasn't been terribly effective the last three, so maybe sit him to watch one and go back at it.

They nicknamed him Sharkbait because of the orange, white, and black. #AmIRight?

Interesting. I remember someone mentioning once that Dillabaugh wasn't any good. He was vague and subtle about it, so I'm not entirely sure he was serious. Maybe he was being sarcastic and meant Dillabaugh is as you describe. Unless he corrects me, I'll go with that.

I was entertained. When does either Phoenix Boys Preparatory School of Dance Coyotes or the Philly Sharkbait trade for his contract in return for picks/prospects?

Your phone has voicemail

You have the power, and my permission. lol

Crying, injured, and injured?

No, I'm actually not. The post was actually about the Sharks.

October 10 (I know you meant mathematically, but 10/10/23 in every other way)

How many times do the Stars play the Sharks this year? >= 4 and he may have it this year.

Yeah, but TWO goals in ONE game! That's only one off their season best.

The curse of Matt Tkachuk.
