What's the latest on Zegras and/or Vatrano?

Pospisil got 3 games for boarding Dunk.

Tarasenko is a Panther.

Oh, by the way, Tarasenko is now a Florida Panther. https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/2854503/report-senators-trade-tarasenko-to-panthers-for-picks

I don't know how anyone sees that as a "clean" hit. Pospisil is seeing nothing but numbers and doesn't even slow down. And it's not like Dunk turned at the last minute. Here's the whole story, and it's not good:

I'm usually against moving prospects for anyone at or north of 30 years old in this league. Having Pono for the next 5 years will likely pay off a lot more than a Jake Guentzel for the next 1 or 2 (maybe) seasons. I have to believe Pesce is in play right now and I'm okay with it. Chatty is ready to move up to the 2nd pair and TDA could slot into the 3rd pair. Orlov can also play his off side with Skjei. At least the Canes have options on the blue line.

I'd ask that you take a look at the stats of Noesen and Bunting when they're on his line. I'm not saying KK is a below average hockey player, but he's making a helluva lot of money to not produce at a higher level. Line pairings mean a lot and that line is a mess.

Tag and trade, throw in BY9 and a couple mil, maybe there's a QB out there somewhere.

2 years @ $52M makes Baker Mayfield suddenly elite.

I made that same observation in the TDL thread. I think I called it a spiteful QO move that has negatively impacted cap space and about made KK impossible to trade.

My take is different, but I will question the head coach and each of the players with a letter on their sweaters. I'll discuss more when I'm sober and not on vacation.

Welsh gets the win. That's more than I can say about the utter collapse of the team in what I consider to be a lack of coaching and leadership. I'll have much more to say about this when I'm not borracho y loco on tequila and beer. The head coach and anyone with a letter on his sweater should shoulder the blame for this disgraceful performance.

And this is how the Canes will exit the playoffs. I called it.

Pull goalie, lose 5-3. W T F.

Game should have been over. Now they'll be lucky to get a single point.

No. Excellence El Carmen.

3-0. 2 Don Julio's and a Pesidente. The sunscreen is to protect me from Canes heat.

Best I can do down here in the Caribbean is watch The Score app. No TV coverage here. Not to mention I forgot to set up my international plan. But 8 SOG in the first 5 minutes and basically nothing since.... c'mon.

Staying with Skjei at home against the Jets.

Pyotr is unhinged, as they say, and as unconventional a goalie as there may be in the league. Martin, on the other hand, may be the best goalie on the roster tight now.

Turbo last night. No winners. Back home for Winnipeg tomorrow.

TDL means nothing at this point. KK is a cap anchor that's preventing any cap flexibility. One of those spite moves making a QO to land him is costing the team now. Not heard anything to suggest either Pesce or Skjei in play.

Staying with Skjei. He's been jumping and had a couple good chances in Minnesota.

Staal last night. No winners.

Sitting in RDU @ 4:30AM waiting on our flight to Charlotte and on to the Dominican for a week of doing nothing. Stayed in Raleigh last night and watched the game at the Briercreek Ale House. No fans there to watch except us. 3 hours of sleep and here I am! We'll be keeping an eye on the games!
