No choice really. So long as Medvedev is healthy, I can't see him starting though. Hexy wants to let Ghost marinate a little longer too.

As he should, he can still benefit from some more time in the AHL to both work on his play away from the puck and to adapt to the speed and physicality of the pro game.

The depth of talent isn't THAT shallow. If there were as many NHL franchises as Subway franchises, Vinny still wouldn't even be a 4C.

LOL, Flint coaches all re-hired:

Even Nilsen's son, defenceman Hakon Nilsen, revolted against his father's decision. According to sources, Hakon could be heard making phone calls to his father, saying "What the (bleep) are you doing?" and "You can't do this!" Hakon, who appeared in all three games over the weekend, then joined his teammates in solidarity and returned his jersey.

Very funny situation, but man, it has to be a bit awkward for the son.

Doesn't matter, he'll be 27 before he plays 7 Accrued seasons anyway.

To be fair, it's not even in the same zip code as funny, so not interpreting it as a joke is excusable.

The 40 game mark only matters for teenagers like Draisaitl last season, correct?

The actual slide rule is for players aged 18 or 19 who don't play 10 games, and are sent back to Juniors. What he is referring to, is the rule for when a player qualifies for free agency, which is 7 accrued seasons ( which is 40 or more games played) or 27 years of age.

The owner is a bit lucky they took the jobs back. A lot of people wouldn't be so inclined to go back to an employer who cut them loose so frivolously.
