Sens sign Tyler Motte.

Looking more and more like Formenton is guilty.

What info do you have pertaining to this? I haven't seen anything.

just chatter on twitter, but it is becoming more and more likely

[The BBKL Insider]

That is insane

[kyuss]

Chara and PK Subban are both done

[Shoalzie]

Keith Yandle is also retiring.

Subban retiring is a bit of a surprise but not every player wants to play well into their late 30s. Guys like Chara and Thornton are the exceptions to the rule. Some guys just want to keep playing but can't find an NHL gig so they you see a lot of those guys collect checks in Europe.

Expected, should be ok for the back half as the cap goes up.

[Shoalzie]

In my head, the over/under on his AAV was $11 million so good for him on getting paid.

The Avs have a lot of money tied in MacKinnon, Landeskog, Rantanen, Nichushkin and Makar starting next year but they'll have a lot of flexibility with how they want to fill in the rest of that roster. A lot of secondary/support players will be due new deals next summer so having the big ticket figured out first will help in getting the rest of their group slotted in.

I read today that those 5 still make less than TB's top 5 so I don't think it will be too big of an issue if they can find cheap players to surround them which I think is the optimal roster construction.

ya def not trading for mack now lol

[Bruyns]

I feel like an auction for him will be happening next Summer.

[Shoalzie]

Not just MacKinnon...he and J.T. Miller will make a combined $9.05 million more next year...some tough choices are going to have to be made after the season.

Mackinnon 60 point season incoming

Traded at a discount only for Mac to pull an Ovie and come back even better.

NHL overall goal leader when his career is said and done is available for the right price

[Handsome&FairMike]

Looking like Nolan Patrick's career is probably over unfortunately. https://sinbin.vegas/nolan-patrick-appe ... 23-season/

Man oh man, did I miss big on that draft.

[Shoalzie]

Ryan Ellis is going to be out long-term with a serious injury as well.

Are some of these guys playing through injuries to the point of permanently damaging themselves or are some of these just situations where someone gets hurt in a way that you really can't fully recover.

When it's all said and done, you hope these guys can have a good quality of life if they have to walk away from the game earlier than they would want.
