Kuznetsov = Semin 2.0…

Probably saw the Nichushkin suspension and said, “Where can I go where they supply all the Booger Sugar you want and there are no consequences.” Dude, just like Semin, is such a waste of a talent.

Put on waivers today for contract termination.

Its been suggested that Kuzy signing with the same team as Demidov might help get my boy out of the remaining year of his contract and come to North America sooner

The birdman has left the building. He did give the Caps one last gift though, $3.9 million back since the contract was terminated. He is completely off the books now.

Jacob Trouba situation in NY has been a wild ride so far this summer. Rangers also waived their 4C (Barclay Goodrow) who was making 3.6m a season and wore a letter.
Stamkos in another uniform is kinda wild.

Stars have made a lot of moves.
too many for me to list or remember right now lol...

I've heard his name come up a few times in passing, my impression is they were trying to get rid of him...?

Yeah, they want to get rid of him and asked for his list of teams he'd be ok with being traded to. Except I think they asked him early, before free agency started, and by the time they had a trade lined up, Trouba was able to prevent it. Larry Brooks from the New York Post also prematurely and incorrectly reported information about this, but I haven't had my pulse on the offseason much so don't have the full story.

Trouba's wife played a part in his original desire to come to the NY region. Her residency is also helping Trouba determine which teams are on the no-trade list (I think...or something like that).

It's been wild even from the periphery.

Saw a photo of Stammers in his new Nashville Predators uniform, wild to see him in anything besides the Bolt blue/white

I'm still digesting this... hella sharp contrast

I get why the helmet is yellow, but I feel like it should be navy with a yellow stripe down the center; I've never noticed just how visually loud the Predators uniform is until now.

Might as well have matched the shoulder badge and just gone for a full-on Dragonball.

Oilers continuing to build a tradition of bringing in douche bags...

Stan Bowman hired as Oilers general manager, replaces Holland | NHL.com

Former Blackhawks GM had been ineligible to work in NHL since 2021, was reinstated July 1

@technomancer Nobody over here is happy about it, either. I can't see how Jeff Jackson thought this was a better alternative than... nearly any other choice.

Big yikes in EDM. Crazy too considering they just went to the Cup finals and had a lot of fans rooting for them. This is NOT helping their image.

Quote from HFBoards, "Congratulations to the Calgary Flames for winning the hearts and minds of every neutral fan in the Battle of Alberta."

GM recycling is almost as bad as the coaching carousel.
