Yeah, I don't think it will ever be possible to achieve uglier.
He would've had better chances if he had kept growing out that mullet! Those are badass ladykillers and have special powers too!
...and at the very worst he can still do a backwards comb-over and cover his whole face that way.

TRADE ALERT 
The Florida Panthers traded forwards Brett Connolly and Henrik Borgstrom, defenseman Riley Stillman, and a seventh-round pick to the Chicago Blackhawks for forward Lucas Wallmark and blue-liner Lucas Carlsson, reports TSN's Pierre LeBrun.
Connolly, 28, has produced just two goals and two assists in 21 games this season. He's signed through 2022-23 with a cap hit of $3.5 million per season, per CapFriendly, which now gives Florida additional space ahead of the deadline.
In exchange for taking on the contract, Chicago receives Borgstrom, the 23rd overall pick in 2016; Stillman, a 23-year-old defenseman; and the draft pick.
Wallmark, 25, has served as a fourth-line center for most of his career. He spent a seven-game stint with the Panthers last season after coming over from the Carolina Hurricanes in the Vincent Trocheck trade.

No but it frees up money
for the Panthers to possibly get someone else or sign a UFA in the offseason.
I gotta say that Binnington's 50 save game (50/51) last night was one of his best games in a long time...best of this season at least.
Glad to see them back in the win column after losing/not winning so many in a row.

WE HAVE A TRADE TO ANNOUNCE:
The Toronto Maple Leafs acquired Columbus Blue Jackets forward Riley Nash in exchange for a conditional seventh-round draft pick in 2022, the team announced Friday.
The seventh-round selection will become a sixth if Nash appears in 25% of the Maple Leafs' playoff games in 2021.
Nash, 31, is out four-to-six weeks after suffering a knee sprain on April 4. He's in the final year of his current deal and is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason.
The 6-foot-2 pivot, who's tallied seven points through 36 contests this season, isn't known for his offensive bona fides but is an extremely productive shutdown forward.
Nash has done a remarkable job at consistently limiting his opponent's offense at five-on-five, according to Hockey Viz's isolated impact model. Red (positive) is good in the offensive zone, while blue (negative) is good in the defensive zone.
The Alberta native has also recorded eight points over 32 career playoff games. Nash's teams have defeated the Maple Leafs in the opening round of the postseason in two of the past three seasons - the Boston Bruins in 2018 and Blue Jackets in 2020.

TRADE ALERT
The Colorado Avalanche acquired goaltender Devan Dubnyk from the San Jose Sharks for defenseman Greg Pateryn and a fifth-round pick in 2021, the team announced Saturday.
The Sharks aren't retaining any salary in the trade, but the Minnesota Wild are already paying 50% of Dubnyk's earnings thanks to the offseason trade that sent the veteran netminder to San Jose, according to The Athletic's Peter Baugh.
Dubnyk's posted a .898 save percentage in 17 games this season and struggled last year as well. The West-leading Avalanche were known to be hunting for a backup goalie behind starter Philipp Grubauer ahead of the April 12 trade deadline as Colorado had their championship hopes dashed in the bubble last summer due to a slew of injuries in goal.
The Avs still have nearly $2 million in cap space after the trade, according to Cap Friendly. By dealing their fifth-rounder, the club only has picks in the first, third, and seventh rounds of the upcoming draft.
Pateryn is an unrestricted free agent at season's end. The 30-year-old has appeared in 11 games this campaign, registering two assists.

The Buffalo Sabres traded defenseman Brandon Montour to the Florida Panthers for a 2021 third-round pick, the teams announced.
The Sabres aren't retaining any of Montour's $3.85 million salary, reports TSN's Darren Dreger.
Montour, a pending unrestricted free agent, joined the Sabres from the Anaheim Ducks during the 2018-19 campaign. He has 14 points in 38 games this season while averaging over 20 minutes of ice time per contest.
The 26-year-old's advanced stats took a major hit after joining Buffalo:
The Panthers are in the thick of the race for top spot in the Central Division and entered Saturday one point back of the first-place Carolina Hurricanes. Florida was widely expected to be in the market for a defenseman after top-pairing stalwart Aaron Ekblad recently suffered a season-ending injury.

No idea.... bad move all around. Bergevin is losing it.
And it looks like he traded for Merrill from Detroit. Lateral at best I think, although it was a cheap move. Definitely won't change a thing. Mete was probably better.

The Montreal Canadiens have acquired defenseman Jon Merrill from the Detroit Red Wings for a 2021 fifth-round pick and forward prospect Hayden Verbeek, the team announced Sunday.
Merrill carries a cap hit of $925,000 and is an impending unrestricted free agent. He's put up only five points in 36 games in 2021 but is highly effective in his own end.
The Canadiens have just over $1.6 million in deadline cap space remaining, according to CapFriendly. Montreal owns Philadelphia's fifth-round pick in 2021 and 11 selections overall.
Verbeek, 23, is an undrafted center. He's posted three points in seven AHL games with the Laval Rocket this season.
