And that really is sad… his parents were real POS.

When your own kid disowns you, you have failed.

The KHL Kunlun Red Stars aren’t dead after all. They relocated and rebranded as the Shanghai Dragons. They just hired Gerard Gallant as head coach.

Geez, Gallant's career took a left turn in Albuquerque after he got canned in New York.

Another AHL vet has gone to Russia. Rocco Grimaldi signed with SKA St. Petersburg. He played 203 NHL games, mostly with Nashville, splitting 2021-22 between there and AHL Milwaukee. Since then, he’s bounced around the AHL, including a season with the Wolves independent team. He last played for Cleveland.

Purner looks like someone with several personal perspective orders against him. Yikes

Jeez Seattle. Take a new headshot before you put a guy's pic on your website wearing another team's jersey. Hell of an off season they're having. So far the highlight (by MILES) is their mascot being chased by bears.

Detroit signed dman Travis Hamonic to a 1 year/$1 million contract. That’s 5 guys from the 2022-23 Senators. JBD is dman Jacob Bernard-Docker

That Yzerplan is a runaway locomotive!!

 

[jeffbear]

So ... DeBrincat and a bunch of spare parts. Got it. To be fair, Hamonic was a decent player ... 5 years ago ... and Talbot has been a backup for like 7 or 8 years. Still, not exactly the tree you'd like to be picking from.

Amalie Arena is no more...

Tampa Bay Lightning home has a new name, Benchmark International Arena

The deal to rename Amalie Arena includes $3 million in joint nonprofit contributions to benefit the Tampa Bay community.

Is Yzerman looking at the 20teens Hurricanes as a model? "We need to pick at 13, 14, 15 every draft!"

At least it's easier to spell. That's a nice arena and a great location and now they've been through almost as many name changes as we have here in Raleigh.

See. When you tell somebody to model their roster build after a specific team, you need to be era specific. This IS a popular strategy though. Buffalo has been in the same loop for the past three years.
