We will take that second round pick and run with it and that’s another 5 million off the books. Can’t believe somebody traded for him.

I’m striking while the iron is hot. At this point I’m putting myself on waivers I figure I can pull at least $750 playing in Wilkes-Barre for the Pens when Hexy claims me.

The Bert and Hronek trades, both for picks, is Yzerman letting us know that the rebuild isn't quite ready for the next level yet.
We're a patient bunch here, but with all four Detroit teams stuck in rebuilds it's already been a loooong time since any team has had a playoff win, much less a run...so we're getting antsy. I actually think The Lions are the best hope, currently.

Funny because somehow I thought the Wings were emerging from their rebuild and we're ahead of Ottawa but I guess not

The Boston Bruins have signed superstar winger David Pastrnak to an eight-year contract extension worth $11.25 million per season, the team announced Thursday.

Pastrnak was due for unrestricted free agency this summer. His new deal will make him the league's sixth-highest paid player when it kicks in next season.

@Ginormousthumbs Pasta deserves every penny of that new contract extension!!!!

I did too...but at closer inspection, they are clearly missing an x factor. Larkin is a nice player, but until they somehow add a truly elite player they'll be just mediocre.
