What was the Parise to NYI deal?

I'll tell you for $9.99.

OK, but make sure herman gets his kickback.

The deal was Parise for Ladd. Both players waived their NTCs, but the deal still didn't get done. Possibly because there were cap issues that just couldn't be solved. Possibly because the deal leaked to the media and Lou nixed it out of spite.

Thank you, e-payment sent.

I didn't get a notification. Can you send it again.

Even if you like the logo there's no getting around that it's maybe the worst nickname in all of pro sports.

What's their nickname?

Never mind then.  I was under the impression that you were looking to discuss it.

I just meant "Wild".

Kypreos getting back into... something. These guys had about 500 twitter followers soon after this announcement (now over 700) so they're a pretty new/small company.

Nice to see Panarin get some recognition here by the players.

I wonder if he did something to get blacklisted.

The real question for me is how he lasted so long.

I think it's more just that sports media jobs are really hard to come by these days. Traditional outlets are folding, online stuff is consolidating...heck, even the Athletic was letting people go. Remember, the reason he got let go by Sportsnet is because they're losing money like crazy on the NHL deal.

The Leafs' exhibition game vs. Montreal on July 28 at 8pm has a serious chance of being the most watched exhibition game ever.

I'm not thrilled about the apparent 4pm start on Tuesday August 4.
