Was gonna say… Flames might be the first team in history to lose their two best players in one offseason and actually get better. Kadri at that price is perfect and they replace the nastiness Tkachuk brought. They also discarded Monahan to the Habs, at the price of a 1st rounder. Monahan degraded fast, but he had a great potential just recently. |

Monahan degraded fast, but he had a great potential just recently. I think I remember hearing he has a really bad hip injury which has limited what he can do. I think hip problems don’t tend to get better for hockey players either, I think that’s what did Heatley in. |

Stastny to Canes for 1 year, 1.5M. Good paycheck for the twilight of his career. I'm sure he'll contribute and fill in the holes on the Canes roster |

Alex Texier won’t play for Columbus this season and will play in Switzerland. Heard it is due to personal reasons, not hockey related.

Alex Texier won’t play for Columbus this season and will play in Switzerland. Heard it is due to personal reasons, not hockey related. The shallowness at the C here continues, unless Kent Johnson or Cody Sillinger can make a big step forward. Neither Jenner nor Roslovic are your 1st line C. They're very good defensive ones, ideal 3rd, good at 2nd. Not ones Gaudreau and Laine need. |

“I love my job, and I love what I was doing, but it was very difficult this year,” she said. “It wasn’t fun. It wasn’t showing up to the rink and feeling like I was working in a candy store, like it usually would when I cover hockey.
“There was a lot of, more than anything, mental gymnastics to go through. There was a lot of criticism — not just within the social media audience, but also within the brethren of hockey — that I was not used to facing. And a lot of it seemed to stem from my gender.”...
“There’s a culture that believes when a woman is hired in a high-profile, visible, important role in the game, that she has been hired because of her gender, or to check a box,” she said. “This then upsets members of our audience, because they don’t feel it’s fair. They dislike it, and that breeds contempt for women in these roles.
“Whereas when men are hired, you don’t see a statement, ‘It’s because he’s a man,’ because men have always held these roles, traditionally.”
-Leah Hextall of ESPN.

No, Leah, you didn't get the job because you're a woman. You got the job because you're Ron Hextall's offspring. |

Is hockey hard? Have you seen the Sharks try and do it? Yes it is hard.

Looks like Evgeny really messed up a big opportunity last year. 7g12a in 72gp doesn't seem terrible playing 10 minutes a night but his most common linemates for 3/4 of the season was Dubois and Kyle Connor. Hes almost 26 |

from Dave Stubs of NHL.com,
Mike Ricci and Markus Naslund remember the protocols read to them before the ceremonial face-off in 2002, Queen Elizabeth II dropping a puck before their preseason game in Vancouver.
“I was told to wear new gloves, in case the Queen wanted to shake hands. She didn’t,” said Ricci, the San Jose Sharks captain that night. “And I put in my teeth. There were some bets that I’d make a scene, but I think I did OK.”
“We were told not to skate directly at the Queen,” recalled Naslund, the former Vancouver Canucks captain joking that a spray of snow might be unwelcome. “Speak to her only if spoken to. It was agreed that I’d pick up the puck and give it to her. And we were told there were armed guards in the stands.”
Ricci and Naslund spoke to NHL.com from San Jose and Sweden, respectfully, in the hours after Buckingham Palace had announced that Queen Elizabeth II, the longest reigning monarch in British history, had died at age 96.
“I scored two goals that night,” Ricci said, “so the Queen was good luck.”

from Corey Masisak of The Athletic,
Eric Karlsson spoke to The Athletic about his thoughts on all of the changes, his conversations with new GM Mike Grier and coach David Quinn and the direction of the franchise. And we talked about his health, which is sure to be a popular topic, given that he has missed 25-plus games in three of his four seasons with the Sharks.
A lot has happened with the organization this offseason … what was your general reaction to all of the changes?
I mean, I think it was long overdue, probably. It’s just the way it goes. They’ve had the same things here for so long and they’ve been doing a good job at it, but obviously lately that hasn’t been the case. So you kind of figured when one domino fell that the rest would follow it. And that’s kind of where we’re at right now.
Obviously you’re going to get a lot of questions about your health in the coming weeks. You said you feel even better … is there anything you can to point to as a theme of the injury issues the past few years, or has it been a random thing here, fluke thing there type of situation?
Yeah, it’s hard to say. I think the injuries that I’ve had since I got here … some of them probably could have been prevented a little bit and some of them were just like, things happen. I broke my thumb when blocked a shot. I mean, what are you going to do? That’s part of the game. I had some wear and tear where, if we were in a different position where you can take some time off and maybe look after it a little bit different, maybe it doesn’t get to the point where you have to have surgery. It is all circumstantial. I think now maybe I should be a little bit more cautious about when things come on, even if it means missing a little bit of time here and there in order to not miss a lot of time at the end of the year. Hopefully we’re in a position where we can afford to do that.
I think overall, I’ve been fairly fortunate to be able to play through everything that I’ve had. It screwed a few of my summers up, but other than that, I feel healthy. I feel good. My body can do all the things that I need it to do, at the pace that I want it to. And then you’ve just got to hope that you catch things at the right time, and that you don’t have to play through things to get to the point where it is unbearable.
