No clue either, but Kopitar was on Drive to Survive last season hanging out with Zak Brown, so would guess through that friendship?

Rod translation, they're actually fine and will be ready to go Saturday 😂

But in all seriousness, assuming we have to call up at least one forward, would love to see Nadeau. His shot would do wonders for the PP.

Agree with that assessment. Was just putting it out there that he's been wrong before, as all reporters have been before.

I think Pagnotta was one of the first to report we were expected to sign McLeod. It really is hard to think these situations aren't associated with each other.

Still willing to bet ALL the higher ups in the org met about the potential backlash of signing those guys. As the president, he very much had to deal with the "appearance" of the team. Especially with many fans contacting sponsors of the team.

Especially with this. It is Pagnotta so grain of salt, but timing is suspicious.

Gotcha, hadn't actually read through the article before replying. Again, hoping something changes but knowing how this management team operates, it's doubtful.

They're not able to sign until October 15th. Hoping that something changes between now and then.

Can't blame the guy for taking his time deciding. It's not like the reports are saying he's pitting the offers against each other to drive up the price. In fact, it's been reported that he would take less to go to a contender. Think he's really just thinking about what he wants for his future.

Assume at least Knights (Pietrangelo) and Blues (Krug) will be using LTIR to get under the cap.

That's a fantastic deal for the team. No doubt he outperforms that rate.

I doubt it'll make a difference, but I did reply to their text message today about catching up on the off-season media availabilities with a question about why they haven't posted about pride.

I doubt they'll reply but felt good to put the question out there.

He just shared on here as well. Hopefully, the organization starts to embrace using BlueSky as well as the other site...

It's the same system, except they just have top-end talent that capitalizes. When you compare roster to roster, they have 3 guys better than our best player. This is why you want the Rantanen trade to work.

If he'd taken some games off, actually off and in the press box, not just off by playing like dog shit on the ice, he might feel fresher right now.

Haha, you're not wrong. But the reality is with Chatty and Walker down, we've gotta depend on Slavin and Burns to be a shutdown pair. No concerns with Slavin doing his job, but if Burns is getting an extra 2-3 minutes a game on the PP, I worry he just won't have the legs he needs in the D zone.

After letting so much go, why is that what the refs call?
