Looks like the NHL is looking into mandating neck guards due to the recent Adam Johnson tragedy.

Also, the Senators have to forfeit a future first round draft pick for their role in a voided trade that almost saw former Hurricane, Evgenii Dadonov, traded to the Ducks from the Golden Knights.

NHL wants to make them mandatory. Bettman put the puck in the NHLPA’s court. If they don’t push back we will see neck protectors next year, perhaps even later this season. 

If the players push back sounds like the NHL will do the same thing they did with helmets, visors, etc. Any vet is exempt, anyone new is mandatory. 
 

The biggest fan pushback I’m seeing is basically highschool, ncaa and up don’t require them so why should the NHL. 
 

Huh? Why would they have to forfeit?

It looks like the Penguins organization is already mandating neck protectors for their AHL and ECHL teams and are highly encouraging their NHL players to wear them.

As for the Senators, apparently they traded Dadonov to Vegas and made no mention of his trade clause. Vegas then later tried to trade Dadonov to the Ducks but was alerted that he has a NTC and the Ducks were on it.

Woah… going all the way to the AHL for a coach. 
 

Sounds like the GM and the HC got into it and the owner picked the GM… fans are pissed. 

Glad we don't have those problems here.

The Don and The Bod have a mutual respect that makes for a pretty seamless working relationship.

Based off of interviews with Dundon, sounds like they have each other's back when it comes to ownership. I remember Wads make a few comments to the media during Rod's contract situation in support of his coach(es)!

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      I’m honestly not trying to argue with you or talk bad about Scourton, I like him and I’ve watched all of his Purdue stuff/videos you linked previously. Just like I’ve watched all of Princely’s Florida stuff I’m only pointing out the weight thing because I’m excited about the idea of him being 255-260 and being more of a stand up edge here in Carolina like he was at Purdue versus at A&M And like you, I have a crap load of experience doing the whole cutting/weight/fitness thing and I know how crappy/sluggish I feel when I’m holding as little as an extra 8-10lbs of unnecessary weight. So for Scourton to come out and say he’s 255-260 now and feels good that’s exciting based on what he’s put on film at 280 and not feeling his best

      2024 College Football Thread

      I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game. They've created a nearly unending list of "what ifs". Hell, every HS, college, and pro team out there has a long list of them. It's also a good reminder that there's no such thing as a routine major injury. Even though sports medicine has improved dramatically in recent decades, major injuries are still somewhat of a coin flip on how a guy is going to emerge from it.

      I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
