Poile turning Myers, who had fallen out of favor with the organization in less than a year, into McDonagh.
The wonders of cap space.
McDonagh is 33 and worn down. 4 more years at $6.875m.
If he even merited that contract this season, it's becoming a problem. I don't get why Nashville would do this.

I'm very happy with this hire. Excited to see his approach with all the young guys the Sharks tried out last season.
Great to finally have a black GM in the NHL. Insane that it's taken this long but hockeysowhite
True equal treatment in that NHL clubs are willing to extend their disinterest in experience beyond just white men.
Yeah, I've been saying all season that this was setting up a truly awful contract signing.
Kadri should get that money, of course, but whichever GM signs him thinking he'll be their franchise center is going to regret it within 1-2 years at most.
The goalie market is pretty bad, and Kuemper's playoff inconsistency was partially attributable to injury. I wouldn't overpay for him, but we know the 1a/1b tandem with him and Francouz can win a cup. If the price is right, keep him.
That said, I don't expect he'll be back.
Toronto Maple Leafs fans voted NHL’s ‘most annoying,' ‘most delusional’
Leafs’ fanbase may be annoyed that the team can’t get past the first round but does that make them annoying? Survey says, yes, yes it does.

Any team with a shooter just in need of a play driver should be interested.

Not exactly a good sign that they can't get in touch with Kaprizov himself.

Can confirm.
I don't think either of those tweets necessarily means they can't get in touch with him. Guerin might be referring to contradictory information.
In the longer article that quote is from, Guerin says that he has been talking with Kaprizov's agent, but there's no indication that either he or said agent have actually spoken to Kaprizov. They're the "we" in information-gathering.
Here's the article:
Wild's Kirill Kaprizov remains in Russia amid reports of fake military ID, flight to U.S.
Wild GM Bill Guerin told The Athletic that Kaprizov has not returned to the U.S., contrary to reports.

Doesn't change what I'm saying. Speaking to his agent doesn't mean they "can't get in touch with Kaprizov". It's also the off-season where teams are just as likely to communicate with agents instead of direct to players. Especially ones passing time in Russia with weak English speaking/comprehension.
The NHL hopes that a draft in Montreal + a rigged 1OA pick in favour of the Habs will help to grow the hockey market in Montreal.Pretty bold to host the draft in a city that had this turnout during the 21 final:

Why not host the draft in an actual hockey market?
To think they actually moved the Quebec Nordiques in a vain attempt to increase interest in the Canadiens.

Everyone knows Gary Bettman will never give up the pipe dream of making hockey in Montreal work somehow. Hopefully the next commish just puts a pillow over the face of that unloved and ignored franchise.
There almost was in 1992 but the prospective owner didn't want to pay the fee. Ask amphteamints if he isn't currently banned
Also: geography. There are already a good amount of hockey fans in Wisconsin that follow the Hawks and Wild so you're not expanding your TV audience very much by planting a team there. Versus Arizona where there was nothing. Now there's next to nothing but Bettman and co. have a) sunk costs, and b) the notion that if Arizona ever becomes elite (will they ever draft 1st?) that the game will grow.
Thanks for that, Something Creative.
the Bradley Center was initially built with the intention of it being an NHL arena, but the Blackhawks didn't want a team that close to them, and the NHL has some weird competition clause that would have cost Milwaukee a shitload, so the Bucks played there forever as well as our arena soccer team and an arena football team briefly.
We do, however, have a NHL affiliate team- the Milwaukee Admirals are our AHL team as well as the Predator's farm team, so every now and then I'll get to see an Admirals player that i've seen live on national tv.
they also have the best fucking sports logo ever:
I mean that would make some sense. That market produced Auston Matthews, maybe not a top 3 or 10 player but he's firmly in the top 25 of the league.
Quebec just produced that bust Lafrenière.

Leafs and Oilers dumpster diving for goalies and may end up scrapping over the same cigarette butt with an inch of tobacco left.
Team Wright all the way for me.
Slafkovsky has talent and could well turn into a great player, but I have found his rise to the top of many draft lists completely baffling.
