How Doers get more done

Important Date: July 1st: Free agency. Sorry nothing interesting happens after this until October.

It's free agent frenzy time. Grab a cold one and enjoy watching GMs around the league make signings they'll regret for years. The top dudes available:

Artemi "Lefty" Panarin



Officer Sergei Bobrovsky



Joe "Take one for the team" Pavelski



Matt "Cool Dog" Duchene





And some other guys you can read about here: https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/nhl-best-2019-ufas-unrestricted-free-agents-list-rumours/

Kapanen & Johnsson re-signings = good

Yep.

Coyotes could be fascinating this year. They just missed the playoffs last year, but just picked up a Phil Kessel.

Ottawa and Toronto swap Codi and Zaitsev

Vancouver gets Lucic

Edmonton trades for Jack Johnson and signs Cody McLeod to multi year deal

Winnipeg signs Pionk to 8 year deal

Montreal trades for Chris Kreider who injures Carey Price in shootout practice

Calgary signs Mike Smith with the Rick DiPietro contract.

I want full Canadian collapse.

I thought this said Polak at first. Why not both?

In more news about players you may have never heard, former Leafs super prospect Jeremy Williams hosed off to Europe a long time ago, but he might have one of the saddest playoff records I've ever seen: never more than 3 points in a single playoff run despite being 35 years old and playing in leagues where he's usually PPG. Also, he played for a 2nd tier German team called Eispiraten Crimmitschau.

Not likely. He's 24 and has shown nothing at the NHL level.

N: Pierre LeBrun thinks Minnesota and Columbus are in on Zucc. Porty had also indicated CBJ's interest yesterday.

V: I want an all-munchkin line of Zucc, Cam Atkinson, and a tiny center. Maybe call up Nathan Gerbe for a game.

re: Kessel

Back when I lived in the GTA I'd play poker at Fallsview casino. One day one player turns to me and says "do you know who that is at the other table?" I look and it was a regular I recognized. Didn't talk much, played pretty tight. "No, who?" "That's Phil Kessel". And I laughed because I saw the resemblance, he kind of did look like a short, pudgy Phil Kessel

I didn't realize until much later it really was him.

I justified Treliving pissing away a 2nd rounder for him by saying pretty much the same thing.

The puck is a grenade on his stick.

Your AHL prospects will pass him on the depth chart, so good for him for getting a 1-way.

Are you able to update the teams on your NMC? Because he signed that contract with the leafs ages ago.

it's at the start of every year iirc, and after a trade the acquiring team has to agree to continue the NMC, iirc.
