NHL 2021: I Pledge Allegiance to Gritty

[bronconick]

Is there an explanation how is that allowed? And should that not force a re-org going into next season?

Kucherov had hip surgery in December that he recovered from right before Game 1 of the 1st round. Stuck him on LTIR before the season started and spent that money elsewhere. The Blackhawks did something similar in 2015 with Patrick Kane.

Does that mean they have to get smaller before next season?

Yes, they are over the cap limit and need to make roster changes.
Edit: Also expansion draft will occur soon. Expect a lot of movement of players in the next few weeks.

Team is allowed to go $18 million over the salary cap, surprisingly wins Stanley Cup.

Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

All part of the plan.

Saw yesterday that Tarasenko has followed Eichel's lead of demanding a trade because he's unhappy with the way the Blues have handled his injuries in the last two seasons.

Doc and NBC say goodbye.

Wait, so the Blackhawks wrote a FUCKING LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION just to get someone to hire their open secret sexual abuser?

A former high school hockey player who alleges he was sexually abused by a former Chicago Blackhawks coach is suing the National Hockey League franchise for allegedly providing a positive employment reference to the coach despite knowing he was a sexual predator.

All I got from a former employer who actually *liked* me as an employee was a firm handshake and told to not let the door hit me in the *ss on the way out. There's a hell of a long way from "all we can tell you is he was employed by us," to the writing of a goddammed letter of recommendation. The fucking Blackhawks are complicit in this situation.

Rinne retires. He was never quite the same goalie after Nashville's run to the Finals in 2017 - too many hip problems, I think.

The upper deck at the ends of the ice look steeper than the student section at Pegula, and that was built as steep as code would allow.

Lynah Rink laughs.

I wonder if we are the steepest in the NC$$.

The only one steeper I have ever seen was the very top of the Old Gahden, where the rows broke down and they just put seats wherever they could fit them, like the top kernels in a corn cob:

I can’t wait to go there in January.

From reddit:

"Some Maple Leafs players stopped by for the first night of the draft."

"No wonder it only went one round."

All them championships made it worth it.

 

[state of hockey]

Obviously it didn't get them to the top, but landing them back then instantly made a bad team a postseason contender.

Thanks for your service, but I don't like the look of those legs.

When a team does this do they take the hit all at once or can they structure it however they want? Can they Bonilla it?

BTW, this sweater is actually very nice with two glaring issues:

1. Lose the red from everywhere. Your colors are dark green and gold accents. Period.

2. God that name sucks. Just fucking buy North Stars back from those apes in Dallas so they can call themselves the Klansmen or whatever.

I think they just pretend they are Tampa Bay. So the cap hit doesn't matter.

There's a Buyout FAQ here: https://www.capfriendly.com/buyout-calculator

You cannot buy out Suter or Parise ... as it is already done. Find them by player for details of the deals.
