I agree I probably spend more on all the services I now subscribe to versus when I had a cable and Internet package, but I feel better about it. I also think the combination of services I currently subscribe to provide higher quality technology and provides me with better flexibility when...

Interesting that in the West, 2 points currently separate leading the Pacific to not even being a wildcard team. Definitely an argument to make that a rental player can put a team over out West, but I am not sure if Martinez really moves the needle for Vegas. I would tend to agree with Jeffbear...

I fully expect the Canes can (and should) catch one of Columbus, Isles, or Philly and get back to the playoffs as constructed. I don't expect them to do much more than make the playoffs so I am not a fan of any trades that impact long term prospects for Carolina. The Canes need to figure out...

I am thinking Hamilton is going to ask for way more than his current $5.75 cap hit. I am guessing at least Giordano money on a long term deal. For reference here is listing of current defensive cap hits: https://www.spotrac.com/nhl/rankings/cap-hit/defenseman/ It is crazy to see where the...

Zucker will be a good fit in Pittsburgh. He is a goal scorer with great speed and will produce on Crosby's wing. He is also a strong 2-way player with a reasonable cap hit for another couple of years. Galenchuk was a bust in Pittsburgh and is a UFA after this year. The main part of the trade for...

+1 for The Athletic. It is a great publication that deserves your business if you choose to pay for a sports media subscription. Great stuff. I think if Eric Staal can play a couple more decent years and get to 500 goals and 1200 points, there will be no debate about his HOF credentials. While...

It is clear you don't like DeBoer, but I wouldn't say he is boring. His style isn't the clutch and grab days with Florida and Jersey. I think he was one of the better coaches in the league with San Jose and those teams played a fast, puck possession game and scored. He will do well in Vegas as...

I may be in the minority here, but I hope the Canes don't trade for a D man yet. I would like to see what Fleury can do in an expanded role or call up Bean. I would give someone a chance to step up rather than overpaying for a short term scrub. This is a great opportunity to see what the Canes...

Due to Price's contract AAV and length left, I doubt Montreal will get much of anything in return for him. If they are looking to move him, it will be as a salary dump to free up the future of the organization. I think will have to retain salary to get anything of value back.

If it was going to be another Penguin it should have been Malkin. He is pretty much the most overlooked star of his generation. Guy didn't make the 100 greatest players of all-time and is constantly overlooked. I am sure it was a position thing and based on the need of roster, but Letang going...

It sure looks like the end of the line is nearing for the current crop of great QBs. When is the last time one of these guys (Brady, Brees, Roethlisberger, E. Manning, or Rivers) wasn't playing past the wild card weekend? I think the tank is just about empty on this group and the next-gen is...

I will be interested to see what the market is for Brady. Surely he isn't going to command $30+M for a one year deal, is he? He will be 43 next year and didn't exactly look great playing in a system/situation that is his best-case scenario. He had a great OC in McDaniels, the greatest HC of...

Torbush, Bunting, Davis, Withers, Fedora? Neither school is going to be a football powerhouse anytime soon so get used to the cycling of coaches.

I was never for Ferland, but at the same time last year I was pushing to unload Hamilton and keep Faulk! Win some, lose some and agree a year makes a huge difference in perspective :)

I fully agree that management coaching is a highly effective tool for shaping leaders and I hope Francis has the self-awareness and foresight to be taking advantage of a resource like that. I think the Francis GM story depends on your viewpoint and narrative you choose to believe. On one side...

I hate to see Francis in this situation. I don't think it is a great article as the facts are hard for him to defend and don't really show great decision making on his part. I don't see the Seattle gig working out well for him. Expectations will be unrealistic thanks to Vegas. Sometimes it is...

I live in the same town as Coach DeBoer and see him a couple of times a year at a local favorite restaurant. I have chatted with him a few times and he seems pretty down to earth with a good sense of humor. I am sure he will have a new job next year in the NHL as he is a damn good coach. I...

Forget the like/dislike standpoint.....this just makes me feel OLD! I swear Keith was just playing.

The more people, like Friesen, that were around the Canes and Peters and discuss how bad he is/was the worse it will get for Francis. Francis is going to have a hard time explaining why he gave Peters a contact extension after knowing about the physical altercations. Best case, Francis looks...

I don't love this response from Francis. I doubt an expansion team is going to want any part of this as they are trying to sell the sport in a new area. I think he is going to be toast if the Seattle lawyers can find an out in his contract.
