On the one hand professional football is a very short career and a player needs to secure the best compensation possible. On the other hand there's still something to be said to playing for one team, carving out a nice career where you are well compensated and building something in the community setting yourself up nicely for a career after your playing days in or outside of professional football.

I wonder what the rule is when a goalie's skate blade comes off during play and when/if it needs to be whistled down?

Yup sooner than later it's going to go from 'Hey I was a fan of his father' to 'Crap, I followed his grandfather'.

NHL Trade Talk Oilers and Corey Perry Showing Mutual Interest In Signing Shocking said no one ever. Fingers crossed they do and fingers crossed it doesn't go as planned.

Dru Brown to Sask? That will make it near if not impossible to hope for his success.

At least Ehlers is playing.

Random question in a random Jets thread. Like football, are their practices non contact? It says Ehlers was hurt in practice, I assume it was a non contact injury.

Feck and if NE is a late scratch, depth will be tested tonight. Hopefully we take advantage of Philly playing yesterday.

Yup but not always for a rental. Sometimes the goal is to lock up said player acquired at trade deadline for next season(s).

I've never liked you.

I wonder if KC uses BL in anyway in a trade package or is he off limits? KC does believe in the draft, develop, play approach so likely answer is no it would have to be a steal for us to give him up.

Protect NE at all costs please and thank you. He's just starting to get his mojo back.

If I was Dru Brown, Calgary is the best landing spot for me. I can get the cash, DD is a former QB with some similarities to me in how he played and JM I can beat out in TC.

Looking forward to getting VH back after his conditioning period and see if he can pick up where he left off after his best TC with us.

With all this aging can't play in poor weather talk, I know I'm cutting against the grain but I still feel pretty good with ZC behind centre for us but obviously important to not go into the season without a competent 2nd stringer.

Well if your guess is correct that needs to be communicated directly to the teams and fans of the league.

To me this makes no sense if he's a confident young man in his abilities as he'd want to play on a top tier team. Also, if you believe what he said, he said it had nothing to do with the coach.

Taken from The Score Josh Wegman: Cutter Gauthier didn't divulge the exact reason for his trade request from the Philadelphia Flyers, but he did shed some light on his decision. "It wasn't one specific reason why I asked for a trade," Gauthier told reporters on a Zoom call Wednesday, including The Sporting Tribune's Derek Lee. "It was multiple, re-occurring issues that I'd seen over the past year and a half, two years of being under the Flyers organization. It kind of hit me all at once, thinking 'I can't move forward with this' and 'I really need to step up for myself and see what's best for my future' and that's what I did." He added: "I haven't seen one thing that's been remotely close to the reasons that I decided." Cryptic at its best.

Man, spoken like a Knight fan. Gross.

Reading the The Golden Knights are struggling right now. Awwwwwwwwwww. Man there's a team I would love to see drop real quick right out of a playoff spot.

Great question. Reasonable to ask so decisions are evidence-informed not a small group of people cooking something up.

Absolutely, but in some cases like this one in particular, its not the what he's doing, its the how he's doing it. But at EOD to each their own.

I always love it when the family of the player gets involved. Get yer popcorn here.

Ahhhhhhhh I guess we will see. I hope you’re correct.

Yes but not at his quality. I think we will find that out next year if we don't re-sign him imo.
