The college football system with the big consolidated conferences and a selection committee is a blatant antitrust violation, but no one is willing to try and bust up the power conferences.

He is still being paid by Alabama!

Covid returns?

They already passed on that option (he was on waivers a few days ago)!

And remember the bulk of the 22-23 success happened when both his big free agent signing that offseason and his preferred starting goalie was injured.

I wouldn’t be opposed to just trading Mercer 1 of 1. The money basically wipes out and you are moving a winger for a center.

The big problem is Palat’s $6 million is better allocated for a 2/3 center than a winger. That contract has been a problem since day 1.

Fitzgerald really wants to let everyone know he is trying. His seat must be getting scorching hot.

It’s like playing an armed forces academy.

Both teams should have just taken a knee this game.

They’re banged up on defense and likely see him an undervalued depth. Signing him to an AHL deal is their way of keeping it quiet. If they need him that can sign him to an AHL NHL deal and call him up.

Their front office and ownership are ghouls.

They have tried to sign all of them I think. They tried to sign Hart and McLeod, and this was a back door attempt to draw heat.

The team has under performed expectations in virtually every year under Fitz, except one.

And that one year was probably saved by Blackwood getting injured early in the season.

The lack of puck handling skills outside a few players is very apparent.

Seems like they are setting up Miami jumping ND if the ACC loses out on the autospot.

I do laugh about coaches wanting an NFL-like calendar but omit that NFL teams aren’t allowed to poach another team’s head coach.
