I ran into Joe two or three weeks ago. I told him he should go to the Leafs. He made a sound that made it perfectly clear that's not happening.
Good move by Bargainbin! Benning/Linden said they'd consider doing that.... but there's another opportunity missed
Bahaha:

I like to think of GM moves as having a bit of random walk to them because the player market in hockey is so illiquid.
I remember there was a lot of talk of Bergevin having grown as a GM around January 2015 from people who should have known better. Therrien was still the goddamn head coach.
I was listening to Scorpion all day yesterday and shit just popped up in my head.
To clarify, I wasn't listening to it on repeat all day, I basically slogged through it throughout the day lol
Love that trade, good to see Bergevin using that cap space for futures, and Amria seems like a decent bottom 6 option. Better than a Reaves anyways.
Ya I'm really disappointed in it, it's just so fucking boring.

A common (and sad) refrain from Canadians/Americans. Goals are required because they can't appreciate the skills or tactics :(
I tuned in the other day just in time to see Japan's bold "hold the ball the last 12 minutes and pray Senegal doesn't tie their game" strategy. If you can call it that.
That was down to perverse incentives of the group stage of tournaments. Not much different than teams tanking for higher draft picks in North American sports.
I much prefer watching soccer to hockey these days, with the not stopping the match for commercial breaks being a huge reason for it, but I don't follow the group stages of club or international tournaments that closely.
Ok? That was embarrassing. No one is going to disagree with that
(not including the Galchenyuk trade)
Trading down at the draft to accumulate picks and taking a salary dump in exchange for three assets feels like a shift in strategy on his part.
With the Bettman point teams colluding for regulation and doing nothing like Japan in that match for 60 minutes before trying to win in overtime/the shootout is actually the optimal regular season strategy in the NHL.
Rack up 82 points for doing nothing and win just half your OT/shootout games and you would have more points than Nashville got last season.

That is really common. Even Benning did that. It doesn't happen all the time because GMs each know how it can be beneficial and it requires someone coveting an available player.
"I'm taking my talents to Toronto."
Tavares re-signs with the Islanders, who are immediately relocated to the GTA.

Pretty sure DiPietro's contract is still on the Islander's books so you should be safe.
If nothing else, I guess that perhaps implies the decision is between the Islanders and another team(s) as if he wants the 8 year deal he has to re-sign with the Isles today?
Indeed it is. Only another 11 seasons to go before DiPietro's contract comes off the books!
I'm fine with this buyout now. So in summary: we got Armia and draft picks for free because we had the space for mason to buy him out
You owe us one Jets.
