And apparently, the Rangers turn around and use that cap space to sign Shesterkin to an 8- year, $92 mil contract ($11.5 mil AAV)
Why would he waive it for the ducks over the cbj??
Southern California >>>>> Central Ohio
Ah... Uh... Touché good call
Now now, the Canadian Government has apologized for Bryan Adams on SEVERAL occasions!

Hell of a career. I'd completely forgotten he was on Tampa's Cup team in the bubble. Produced 13 points in 25 games during their playoff run. From what I recall, he was very well liked in the room throughout his career. Will be curious to see what he does in the future.
...but whatever, the Blues won the Cup!!!!!

I did not expect the Avs to replace both their goalies by the end of the year.
Their goaltending has been absolutely atrocious with a team .882 save %. That was bad in the 80s when goalies were all 5'8" and barely took up any of the net. If Blackwood can provide play at or even just below the level he has so far this year, the Avs will probably wind up playing their way back into the divisional top 3 fairly soon.

Unreal.

Perpetual rebuild. I'm thinking tanking is not an option unless you are getting a generational player out of the draft. And that isn't a guarantee anymore.
Hard to figure out. At one time, I do think it was just simply finding the right coach. They've pissed away a lot of good players over the years. Fucked up organization.

What constantly searching for a goalie will do to an organization.
Just a Russian propaganda account

I can't complain about our goalie situation. We've been pretty stable in net for a very long time now.

We've had guys in the past who couldn't win in the playoffs but we've always had success finding stable goaltending.

Because it's on NHL Network atm, it's the sabres vs pens stadium series in 2008.

The goalies are Ryan Miller vs Ty Conklin

This was pre-ROR, which I found out he was an av before a sabre, which I don't remember... I knew he was an av but thought it was post-blues...
