I almost forgot that ESPN even had a hockey department.

Do you think they ever kick themselves for not renewing the NHL contract this time of year

not that they were players at all really, and when they had a contract, they sucked at presenting it, but it looks like ESPN is running away very quickly from the NHL. Bucci wont be renewed either. Looks like they're all in for hoops and hot takes from Stephen a and jemele. Maybe they'll bring back billiards, darts, bowling, and I believe they even covered arena football for a while.

Its not just NHL they are cutting people from every sport media side, probably because they are failing as a network.

I haven't watched ESPN in a long time because it's all becoming debate/hot take shows.

No reporting. Nothing interesting, and nothing I can't see in a tweet.

ESPN The Total Sports Network


As long as it's not the NHL, we will cover it.


ESPN has been a joke for many years now.

Is there a new report today?

I saw that there were recent talks and he was still expected to sign. But nothing concrete. Makes me curious who he would be talking to if GMTM is gone?

I was banking on expansion casualty (Sami Vatanen). Also would look at a one year veteran signing. Possibly Campbell or Daley

Gerbe. He's picking him up at the airport too. Then he's going to show him around, buy him some fresh new gear at Hot Topic, take him out for some fro-yo, and then go axe throwing at some sh!tty new downtown repurposed warehouse.

Carry over from last blog..

Again this is very basic work so far but Gabe Vilardi could wind up being a steal for someone.

The points havent piled up but his expected goals for and primary assists are very good

I think hes this years version of Draisaitl. Maybe not the same upside tho
