Condolences to the Druce family, that's gotta be tough man...

Boudreau fired from Anaheim.

May 1st the place where I work is rolling out a whole new computer system and May is going to be a catastrophe. I have been contemplating early retirement, it's that bad.

Their loss. Someone else's gain.

Reoccurrences. If they check you and find you cancer free then you're in remission. If you go back a month later and they find cancer it's like a whole new thing for them, not your on going battle.

You find this out the hard way when you have a family member with cancer. After the first "relapse" in a short period of time you muffle the celebration when the doctors declare you cancer free. You never feel cancer free after a reoccurrence.

my sis in law was in remission for 8 yrs, then when it came back it was everywhere

FWIW:

If a player has a no-movement clause, his club will be forced to protect him in next summer’s expected expansion draft.

If, on the other hand, a player merely has a no-trade clause, his club will have no obligation to put him on its protected list.

Those details were reported this morning by TSN’s Gary Lawless, shortly after he’d reported that the NHL and NHLPA had come together on a framework for a potential expansion draft.

Per General Fanager, here’s the difference between the two clauses:

A No-Movement Clause prohibits a team from moving a player by trade, loan or waivers, or assigning that player to the minors without the player’s consent. This keeps the player with the pro team unless permitted by the player to move the player by one of these means. A No-Movement Clause does not restrict a team from buying out or terminating a player’s contract.

A No-Trade Clause is less restrictive, as it only places restrictions on movement by trade. A player with a No-Trade Clause cannot be traded by a team unless the player provides consent. A Partial or Modified No-Trade Clause is often less restrictive than a Full No-Trade Clause, and depends on the conditions outlined in the player’s contracts. Often these are No-Trade Clauses with conditions that give the player the right to provide a list of teams to which the team can or cannot trade the player.

So, for example, in Pittsburgh, the Penguins would be obligated to put Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Phil Kessel, Marc-Andre Fleury, and Kris Letang on their protected list. All five have NMCs, per General Fanager. Patric Hornqvist, however, would not require protection, even though he has a modified no-trade clause.

Now, granted, the Penguins weren’t going to risk leaving their superstars exposed anyway.

Where this rule could have consequences is if a team is forced to protect a player with a no-move, at the expense of exposing a player it would prefer to keep.

In Columbus, for example, David Clarkson, Scott Hartnell and Fedor Tyutin have no-moves, as do Brandon Dubinsky and Nick Foligno. So, assuming General Fanager’s information is correct, that’s five players they’d be obligated to protect, whether they’d want to or not.

We’ll let Jackets fans fret over what that may cost them. There will be plenty of fretting league-wide, no doubt.

But just remember, if the NHL only expands to Las Vegas — and that’s the most likely scenario — each team can only lose one player in any expansion draft.

We hear so much about the wonderful chemistry of the Hak line, but it's not reflected in any meaningful statistic. Not in goals scored/conceded, not in shots, and not in shot attempts.

All those fancy stats are well and good, but they can't tell you about chemistry. You have to go to the atomic level for that. They are covalently bonded.

Yeah. it blows

for the flyers only G and RJ Umberger have no move clauses

Wayne and Streit have no trade clasues

Maybe if I watch more Big Bang Theory I'll understand.

His shooting percentages have gone down as well, because he was not getting to good shooting areas. Read has been too much of a perimeter player the last two seasons.

Matt Read 2015-16

Goals 5
SH% 8.2
Avg Distace: 25.57ft


Matt Read 2011-12

Goals 24
SH% 15.48%
Avg. Distance: 26.88ft


Most notable difference is dramatic decrease in shot volume and shot%.

If Streit is hear after this year I leave him unprotected.

Just pick a burger joint. Bruce has been fired. He'll hit all of them in the next 24 hrs.

It's a waiting game really.

That's just mean. He's already missing legs, and now you wanna make him go deaf, too?
