To be fair, this can be said any year lol

This feels worse. The vibe I'm getting is "hey, let's hear it for all that TRAGEDY for making this year interesting!"





And holy cow, Eric Lindros is a big man.

I kinda thought he'd take a break but no, no surprise.

I guess they're not totally screwed if Tavares leaves but they're basically riding on a GM whose most notable move in the last decade was dumping Dion Phaneuf's ass on Melnyk's lap. Team needs a goalie (admittedly something Lou took care of for the Leafs), and they'd need another C should Tavares leave, and their defence isn't anything special. There's work to do, but it's not any crazier than any other average team's workload.

But this is still a club that's done nothing of note in years, that has some pretty high-profile prospect bust chances, is still in a crazy arena/training centre flux that won't be resolved before Trotz' time there is finished, that plays in the toughest division in the NHL at the moment. That's quite the challenge to take on.

That's a great acquisition as well - Does Trotz coming on board entice JT enough to stay?
I don't know how the hell you pass up going to SJ. The only thing that would really give me any pause are either family considerations that would make me want to stay out east, or endorsement money considerations that would make me want to go to Toronto and the combo of SJ's location, chances of success and the anonymity afforded NHLers in that part of the world might just outweigh those things.

That explains the strange "I'm going to step back a bit" from Korn earlier in the year. Maybe they've been planning this for a while.

Friedge caught this in the handshake line in round one:

He thinks Trotz said "I'm done. I'm not coming back. I'm gone"


Greiss and Halak under Korn's eye? Could be good.

Had to check out who gave Hyman 4 pts for the Selke. McGran I could've guessed (at least a Toronto guy), but Arthur Staple?

/Man, people really hate Nazem Kadri
