I don't really follow the Canucks or their history but based on what the play-by-play/color guys were saying in the games I was watching last night, it sounds like their new front office basically boils down to "hey remember all these guys? when they played for us? well they're all the GM now" which sounds like a really dumb idea

https://twitter.com/MDeFranks/status/1467880125308051459 Almost not really worth posting in this thread with all the news going on, but big Ben is going to get some game action in for the first time in around 18 months! This is kind of a surprise, most Dallas fans were assuming his career was effectively over. It kind of screws up the team's cap picture if he re-joins the active roster, so they will be forced to make some trades to dump salary if they determine he can play at the NHL level.

https://twitter.com/PierreVLeBrun/status/1467886926548111364 honestly this is a great strategy. Pretty good emergency backup. Also Rask related: a lot of people are wondering how the Bruins will clear the cap space to sign him when he's healthy, but they are forgetting that Rask has said he would play for "league minimum and a bunch of free bud lights" Jamwad Hilder fucked around with this message at 17:47 on Dec 6, 2021 |

Professional sports with no contracts would be super interesting to me. Players just interview whenever and for whoever they want. With a salary cap it seems kinda feasible. Can't wait to see NHL player linkedin profiles.

Congrats to the Habs, Nucks, and Philly fans on finally firing coaches/gms. Lol that the teams are probably just going to play musical chairs and hire the cast offs from the other teams that were just fired. Bergevin to Van Benning to Mtl etc. How do you guys feel about Boudreau? I wanted the Sabres to get him.

Boudreau is one of those short shelf life coaches, right? He starts out real good, gets everyone working together then production falls off a cliff and he gets fired again.

Boudreau is the ideal coach to bring in when you've just fired a tyrannical hardass. If the Jets had fired Maurice and hired him they'd have ripped off a 19-3 run as sure as sunrise. The Jackets really should have hired him when they deep sixed Torts. Not sure how it'll go following Green and if defense is your problem he's not the guy to fix it. Won't be surprised if Pettersson immediately reverts to playing like a superstar under Bruce though.

In other incompetent-management news, on Saturday, Ottawa Senators' GM Pierre Dorion gave his first press conference in months, in which he walked back his "rebuild is over" comment and talked about how he "takes responsibility" for everything that happened so far this season. In the midst of one of Ottawa's poorest starts to a season since the initial expansion season, he was sending out DJ Smith, Tkachuk, and Chabot to answer all of the tough questions about the team. Strangely, though, he didn't face any tough questions from the media in the room. Because the Senators hadn't given media any notice that he would be giving a press conference, and the team knew that most of the media covering the team doesn't attend Saturday-morning media availabilities. Though they appear to have given team mouthpiece Bruce Garrioch notice. https://twitter.com/SunGarrioch/status/1467161921086447621 Leading to apologies to readers from the actual journalists covering the team that they missed Dorion's first (and likely only) press event before the end of the year. From Ian Mendes: quote:However, I was quite surprised to see the buzz on social media that Dorion was addressing the media on Saturday morning. In the past, the Senators have often given us advance notice for when the general manager is going to be made available to the media. It’s a professional courtesy they’ve usually extended to make us aware of a newsworthy session on the horizon. Sometimes it’s just a one-hour heads up, sometimes it’s a full day. But they didn’t alert us on Saturday, which is why I missed the Dorion presser that morning. And from St. Laurent at Le Droit (translated): quote:We would obviously have come on Saturday if we had been warned that the general manager intended to appear at the podium. Ottawa's just an absolute joke of an organization, top to bottom. Hosting a press conference preaching accountability, while making sure that nobody who is going to actually try to hold you accountable attends.

Current Habs' Lineup (Missing Petry & Armia (maintenance)): Lehkonen - Dvorak - Evans Hoffman - Suzuki - Drouin Perreault - Poehling - Caufield Pezzetta - Paquette - Dauphin (an all-AHL line) Chiarot - Savard Romanov - Wideman Kulak - Clague Allen Montembeault Toffoli is going to miss weeks apparently, Edmundson re-injured himself and is also many weeks away. The current non-playing cap is: Toffoli (4.25M), Gallagher (6.5M, Covid), Niku (0.75M, Covid), Anderson (5.5M), Edmundson (3.5M), Weber (7.8M), Byron (3.4M), Price (10.5M). That's 42 millions. If Petry isn't back for next game (he missed last), add 6.25M to that and get 48.5M. Armia is 3.4M which would put it at 51.9M and Ducharme said he was uncertain as well. https://twitter.com/JayGold85/status/1467208492792565768 MononcQc fucked around with this message at 18:37 on Dec 6, 2021 |

Rob Blake is the GM of the Kings. Ron Hextall was the long time GM of the Flyers, so was Bobby Clarke. Chris Drury is the GM of the Rangers. Doug Wilson is the GM of the Sharks. It's pretty common in European football too. I don't understand it. Why do you need a former player in charge of your team?

Thank god Bruce Garrioch was there to lap up all of the slop Dorion provided him with no follow-up questions. It’s funny that the team so obsessed with High Character they drafted Tyler Boucher 10th overall has a GM too scared to call his #1 goalie before he puts him on waivers. Gutless

He was slow for a while but he’s up to 30 in 22 now. I wouldn’t expect him to fully Daigle until he’s drafted. e: he has 11 points in his last 5 games. I don’t pay enough attention to know if he’s been moved up to the first line with Edmonds.

In spite of The Athletic's more "national" guys becoming more smug and tainting the brand, it's coverage like this:quote:This being the NHL, the older Red Wings players who’d skated opposite Boll during his days as an NHL brawler couldn’t pass on a chance to take runs at Boll behind the bench that they’d never imagine taking if he was on the ice. ...that keeps me reading the local guys.  https://theathletic.com/2998186/2021/12/05/blue-jackets-sunday-gathering-jared-boll-moves-behind-the-bench-a-tale-of-two-tarasovs-and-more/
