There are some times when profanity is unnecessary and other times when it’s the only way to accurately convey a point. This case is the latter.

Danny needs to figure out what he wants to do. He’s a solid driver that at one time was thought of as future star. Those days are over. His F1 future once this McLaren stint is over is to be a middling F1 driver on a low tier team trying to break into the midfield. He’d have better luck moving to Indycar or even getting out entirely and working on TV and messing around with GT racing for fun.

I just cut him from my last place fantasy team so he’s bound to get hot again.

Many many years ago, I spent like 2 weeks trying to contact a Jack Hinnoffe from a marketing list.

There’s no option. They need to jump on board now. Being behind Ohio St is one thing but being behind MSU is a completely different animal that UM alums will not stand for. If UM fails to develop a modern NIL/Transfer Portal plan, there’s no if, only how long until MSU blows past them.

This is one of the new ESPN hires. He used to work for The Athletic covering Oklahoma City area teams. His name is Dixon Yermouth.

Based on the pattern of white dudes from or played college ball in the South being unvaxxed, I’d be very concerned we won’t have much of a bullpen.

Anyone know when the free agency period begins for teams in the Pacific Division? Weakest division in hockey gets weaker with Gaudreau, Burns, and Pacioretty leaving and zero FA of note signed by any of the 8 teams today.

Surprised at the number as Calgary was rumored to offer 8x$10M

It was a very good day for the Yzerplan. Chiarot deal wasn’t great but the player will help and is a big upgrade. Copp & Perron are huge adds. Kubalik and Maatta are good depth players and shouldn’t hurt. The defense is still really bad. I don’t think it would be a bad idea to shop Bert and see what other teams think of him. See if anyone is willing to give back a legit top 4 dman. Keep him if nobody steps up.

I don’t see this at all. I see him scoring between 20-25 goals and helping improve the PP. He will be a great veteran leader in the room as well. 2 year term is perfect. I’d have concerns for any longer.

Blues fans lol

Love that deal. He will have a big impact in every facet.

Ugh. That seems like a terrible deal at first glance. I’m a little scared now to see what what the Perron term is going to be.

That would be exactly the kind of top 6 forward that I was talking about earlier. Would be a top PP guy as well. Hopefully the term isn’t longer than 2 years

Tampa locking in some key pieces letting everyone know they aren’t going anywhere. Don’t know their cap situation but I can bet there are going be tough player decisions made every off-season for the next few years.

He came from a defensive minded team with pretty good 2 way forwards and goaltending. Had a few short stretches where he was solid but he was very average over the long haul. Im not sure he would have made it through last year without getting cut had LA not had so many blue line injuries. FWIW, Kings chose to keep 37 year old Alex Edler for 1/$750k (+$750k in incentives) over him.

I hope it’s cheap with a short term.

Not a big fan of this one. He was better with the Kings than he was at the end of his stint with the Hawks, but he’s not a top 4 defenseman and someone of his caliber probably should’ve come cheaper. Not like that matters too much on a 1 year deal but still.

I like it better than 7 for Trocheck

7 years. Wow

I like Copp more. He really started to come on once he got out of Winnipeg and is better defensively than Strome. If they can find a top 6 wing to pair with Copp and Vrana that would make a solid 2nd line. I suspect Suter and Zadina will be better fits on a 3rd line.

Fuel costs are going down and Americans seem to getting back on with their normal lives of excess. Demand is coming back. I wonder how many of these sectors are still reeling from material and supply chain disruption versus how many are back to the corporate greed mode and continue to raise prices under the guise of inflation to maximize profit.

Ottawa has drafted well and has developed a very nice young core. Now adding established players by dipping into FA and the trade market. Unfortunately another team the Wings have to deal with in the quest back to the playoffs.
