8 years $112 million for Draisaitl in Edmonton.

Obviously a good thing for the Oil but kinda funny that some of their fans talked about how one reason they can't match the offer sheets (beyond the sheer numbers) is that you can't cave to role players when all the core guys were gonna take less to stick around. Safe to say Leon made up for the deal he just thoroughly outperformed.

Highest AAV in league.

Location of the accident

That road looks like 5 meters wide at best. If that's the actual location, the driver must have been beyond shitfaced to try to pass right of a car that had gone left to overtake Johnny and Matthew. He would've gone off the road in the best case scenario.

Or I guess I shouldn't underestimate ******* drivers

Have to assume McDavid resigns as well now

Just a reminder everyone it's like a month before the season starts! 2 weeks "ish" for preseason I got asked if I wanted to go to the 1st preseason game which also happens to be the start of my holidays.

Last minute Leafs will wait till last minute to decide on some stuff like last year or something stupid.

Nothing for islanders or Capitals.

they were talking about the VGK rookie camp starting soon on the news last night. first mention of VGK in the local media that I've heard in a while...the new season is indeed near.

are those things new or just never been on my radar before?

I think the Penticton one has been running since before the Jets came back in the league.

It says this is the 11th year of the event.

yeah rookie tournaments have been around for a while, i guess they only difference now is that ~everyone(?) participates in one of them. just guessing based on how many of them there are. idk why the nhl doesn't copy the nba and have a summer league for this, other than the league permanently being 20 years behind their own ass on everything. would even be a little boost to revenue, more ticket sales, more tv money etc. i'm sure they'll figure this out in 5-10 years and/or once the bett man finally ****s off

LMAO! Well, Mcdavid has been hanging with Matthews lately.

After a talk with Berube, Nick Robertson has had a change of heart and signed today a 1 year 875k contract to stay with the Leafs.

702guy might be interested in today's Leafs news,lol

Max Pacioretty signed for pto today with Leafs, why? I have no idea,lol

at first, I thought you meant "paid time off" cuz he's always injured lol

at least they didn't just sign him to a 1-year deal cuz he's Max Pacioretty. Seems smart to see if he has anything left in training camp at least if u r that desperate for a goal scorer. Ofc, even if he has a good training camp, he's often injured so he may not play much anyways. so it would seem smarter to call up a promising young guy instead if the Leafs have any of those in waiting.

I don't have anything against him and hope he can still find some career. But I doubt it at his age and health history.

Looks like Leafs plan is to sign injured prone or actually injured players! JFC! We are now over the cap, What are they doing?

The Toronto Maple Leafs announced today that the hockey club has signed defenceman Jani Hakanpää to a one-year contract. The value of the contract is $1.470 million.

Hold the boat, rumblings are they might just trade him.

Season getting closer, lets hockeyyy! Well fantasy first of course

Long-running 2+2 league is still at it. One owner just dropped out of the keeper-league, so looking for a new one. Twelve teams, 8 keepers, hundred bucks. Chase ran it with honor for years, then one guy took over and now A5 been continuing the great work, so league is a very well run operation Im happy to say. As often is, the team offered is not the best, probably something like Helle/Crosby/Eichel/Aho/Dahlin/Thompson/Nuge/? No changes in draft picks and I think first round they pick second (snake draft). If anyone interested then can give link to discord channel for more info, or can just ask here of course.

Good luck for all your teams in the real world, maybe this is the year! Man im still happy that Barkov won, woulda been so brutal to lose from 3-0 yikes.

Spot filled

I did it!

Put my suggestion in for bring back pyro and using HHH theme song from wwe motorhead for goal song. LOL

The Jets game is streaming on flames.nhl.com

Sydney Crosby inks another 2 year deal at 8.7 million same price as previous years

i guess he straight up doesn't care, but feels like he's thrown away tens of millions in earnings over his career by not demanding his worth. let alone leaving pittsburgh to maximize endorsement money etc. $8.7m seems absurdly low, he's still a really good player


or maybe he's getting some ownership shares, who knows
