You are off by a year.  Expansion draft is before 2021-2022 season.  Faulk will most likely be gone, TvR would need a new deal (and probably wouldn't be protected anyways).  Hamilton would be a UFA.  So they could protect Slavin, Pesce, and Gardiner.  If someone else needs protecting, I'm pretty...

As someone who thinks Ceci will be better than his numbers in Ottawa suggest- ya I still take Gardiner every day of the week and twice on Sunday. If I were to guess, that would have been Dubas' preferred choice as well but he's got Babcock's preferences to contend with (players playing strong...

Genie Bouchard was the first to make a singles grand slam final in 2014.  That makes Andreescu the third Canadian to do so. Incredible run Bianca has had this season.  I've never seen someone fight and figure out her opponent the way she does at this young an age- very impressive.

Unless I'm missing something, Ceci's numbers have been terrible for the last 4 seasons, and even before that when his CF% was close to 50%, his relative numbers were negative and he had cushy deployment (his first two years in the league) That said, his D-partners have been a tire-fire for...

I think prior to Muzzin's arrival, Babcock didn't feel he had a better choice than Rielly.  (I'd say Gardiner was, but not in Babcock's eyes).  Based on Muzzin's play once he got comfortable with the Leafs, I'd speculate its going to be Muzzin-Barrie with the toughest matchup (alongside the...

I'm surprised nobody is posting any #MelaniaLovesTrudeau content here... https://twitter.com/lupin_bun/status/1166053706665795584

I'm fairly certain this started as a Sandin vs Veleno conversation.... and down the rabbit hole we've gone.  Its definitely August.  :P

Yeah, Free Agency without a doubt hasn't been very helpful for attaining d-men.  The only scenario I can see whereby the Aho + D-man vs Tavares + Dermott works out (up until this point) is if the D-man in question is Jake Gardiner getting re-signed.

I voted Sandin... mostly because of organizational need.  Veleno very well may be the better prospect now and better player over his career.  He'd have to become Aho to make me regret it though (as long as Sandin becomes the top 4 guy we seem to all expect at this point). 

100% they used that photo to deflect attention from the Modano thing.  Nobody is talking about Modano helping hire his buddy... everyone is talking about the photo.

Most of Fox's shows have their digital rights spread amongst Canadian TV Channels.  Those channels wouldn't want to give up digital streaming rights, since they all have their own platforms (most of which are only available with a cable subscription).  So that isn't surprising at all.

I've found that streaming via the Apple TV apps have been quite seamless, unless both my wife and I are using wifi in that same room (even though the Apple TV is on my 5 Ghz network, and our phones/iPad's are on the 2.4 GHz network).  Chromecast not quite as much, but that might also be due to...

This is correct.  I use TSN and Sportsnet streaming with a cable subscription.  One one TV I use Apple TV, which have their own apps for both services.  On another I use chromecast from an iPAD (again, using the TSN/Sportsnet Apps) or my laptop (through the website).

Interesting that the Hurricanes finished 6th in voting on front office confidence in Dom's yearly poll.  Now, if Dundon's policies mean the front office starts to fall apart this will change but as of right now it seems to be fine for most...

Bolded my favourite part- we know you are ready to add to the conversation  ;)  (And this is a place for conversation, so don't take that the wrong way) I hadn't stated it because I thought it was obvious, but yes, without a contract and one of the lowest salaries in the league for the...

I don't disagree.  The job there won't be a destination, especially for guys with experience and cachet around the league as a good executive.  But there are only 31 spots and 200 hockey men probably vying for them, so its not like he's gonna have a position that won't have some good...

So apparently Holl doesn't lick ass or lick ass well enough eh?  And here we thought he was just a bad d-man.

I've read a number of stories and I totally get where Dundon is coming from.  His VP's in his other companies don't have "contracts" in the way that NHL GM's do.  They are employees, with agreed upon compensation, bonus structures, vacation, etc.  There is no "term" on this type of employee...

5'9"  161 lbs Its not a mystery given NHL teams history with guys that have the above measurements

As much as I'd like to have Shattenkirk on a cheap deal this year instead of Holl or Smaltz, I highly doubt Shattenkirk would come here.  He's going to want to sign with a team that has an opening on the PP.  With Barrie and Rielly, the Leafs don't have that.
