The expansion rules for Seattle will be the same as they were for Vegas. Vegas does not have to expose any players, nor will they get a share of the expansion fee.

It's going to involve us losing someone we really don't want to lose OR us trading pick(s) and/or other stuff to Seattle to keep their hands off the players we cannot protect.
If it's 2020, Svech and Necas and Bean will still be exempt but think of how many D we will have that won't be along with Staal, Aho , Teravainen. Foegele, Zykov, Gauthier, Kuokkanen, Roy, McGinn, Ferland (and/or other forwards) etc.... This next one will sting.

Well now, hard to argue that the NHL didn't send a serious enough message this time. 20 games is quite a message.
BUT
---edit--- Yeah I was totally wrong. Money forfeited due to suspension is based on AAV not salary. Wilson actually is scheduled to forfeit more money than his entire $1.1 million in salary because of that. Not sure quite how they do that....

Woah. Got one right for once.
Basically the same as the Athletic. Their staff leaned heavily to Tampa, with Winnipeg and San Jose trailing by a LOT. Nashville and Pittsburgh got a few nods but Tampa came close to getting as many votes as the rest combined. That, my friends, is a heavy favorite. Cooper will be the best coach on the unemployment line if he doesn't get it done this time.

And that 0-7 on the PP is all too familiar.

Looks like Ryan is playing on the 2nd PP unit too. He had over 6 minutes of PP time, 5th most among forwards behind Gaudreau, Tkachuk, Monaghan and Lindholm.

Wilson has been suspended by the Department of Player Safety 4 times in his last 105 games played...that's not a repeat offender, that's a clown that simply does not seem to "get it". Maybe...just maybe, this time he might start to "get it".

And the NHLPA continues to be more concerned with the length of his suspension than the damage he’s doing to other PA members.
Matt Cooke didn’t “get it” until the Pens management sat him down and told him it wasn’t acceptable any more. He went from 129 PIM in 10-11 to 44 the next year and a total of 147 over the last 241 games of his career.

The number of suspensions he has had in just over the last calendar year is insane. It will be interesting to see if he can turn it around a bit like Matt Cooke did at the end of his career (I am guessing he won't!). The thing that gets lost in all this is the Caps just signed him to a long term deal with a cap hit of $5.1 per year! Given that his career high in goals was 14 last year (first time ever in double digits) you have to wonder what the Caps are paying him to do as it doesn't appear to be scoring goals or points. Regardless of what people think about Wilson, he has one hell of an agent to get a long term deal like that for a career high of 14 goals and 35 points!
