NHL Discussion (Other than Jets)

[theaardvark]

Tuch is on LTIR at the moment after shoulder surgery sidelined him for roughly six months at the end of July. That puts him on track for a potential return in late January. It's not dissimilar from Eichel, whose neck surgery will keep him shelved until at least after the Olympics.

And now Vegas management has to figure out a way to fit Eichel's salary into the roster, as it would put them approx. $10M over the cap once he's activated. I expect another trade before the deadline but that'll put Vegas at a potential disadvantage having their hands tied with severe cap implications.

Looks good on that showboat franchise.

Did not know Tuch was injured, that makes a lot more sense...

Nurse and Koekkoek both out for the Oilers. Sound like 3 weeks for Nurse, 4 for Koekkoek. Nurse breaks his finger when he got tangled up with Dooby.

Canadiens clean house. Gone are Bergevin, Timmins, and Wilson. Mellanby resign yesterday.

Evander Kane placed on waivers by the Sharks earlier today. I can't see any teams picking up that headcase, so down the AHL he likely goes.

Sure am happy Kane and Lemieux aren't Jets anymore.

Agreed. Two absolute clowns.

Penguins sold for 900M.

I guess Lemieux is out?

Heck no.

No one would buy the Pens without Lemieux being attached. I believe he stays on at his same share.

I believe ML66 is off golfing in Florida enjoying life.

Lemieux gets 5 games for his bite. It's seems to run in the family as his dad apparently bite Keith.

IIRC, he bit Peplinski in the 1986 SCF. Family of clowns.

Per Rick Westhead on Twitter: Rumours of the Yotes being potentially sold to an owner who intends to move the franchise to Houston.

Arizona is steadfastly denying those rumours.

Not a shocker. Damage control for a pretty fragile organization seems like a no brainer, regardless of the veracity of the rumour.
