Melnyk can't afford to pay staff salaries so he took out a loan from the NHL.
I didnt realize it was that bad.

Can you rememeber the last time a team could not make payroll? Maybe his "move comment"/freakout at the All-star weekend (Or was it just another outdoor game?) was genuine.

Anyways.... maybe Atlanta?

This could be serious. A "Bridge" loan is just a loan. The term "Bridge" is used to make it sound temporary but they must be in deep poop.

Could we be seeing the new Quebec City franchise? I doubt he would move another Canadian franchise outside of Canada --- even if they were broke.

"Lee was arrested on harassment charges, with the maximum penalty being a ~$250 fine and 15 days in jail, although he is not expected to receive jail time"

puzzled by the state of NY. How is this NOT a crime? So what is the difference between a "violation" and a "crime" when they both result in jail time and charges? I'd also say $250 fine is extremely light.....but cheat on your taxes and you'll get years of jail time. Crazy

They'd have to let thousands of people out of jail for pot smoking to make room for the perverts. They have to keep the public safe you know....

After the top five, I have Lenni Killinen and Toni Utunen who I like in the fourth and fifth round. Killinen is a very talented offensive winger with good size (6-2, 181) but consistency has been a big issue for him. And not just from one game to another but from one shift to another as well. If he can become more consistent, he has some serious upside. Killinen had a very good season in junior league where he scored 13 goals and 41 points in 38 games. But his consistency issues became very visible for the big audience at the U18 Worlds where he started on the second line and was demoted again and again until he didn’t see any ice time at all.


Santeri Salmela spent most of the season in Liiga but he’s a stay-at-home defenseman, so feel free to ignore him for fantasy hockey purposes.


Both of these players are on my "list". Rounds 5-6-7 if they are still there.

Everybody is trying to be Pronman.

He's at 13 in my rankings.

he performed very well at the worlds and was solid for the gold medal game. Lets see what he can do here 1st
- SMBDragon

Nilsson played behind pretty good D at the worlds plus the larger surface helped him.

On NHL sized rinks behind our D he won't be stellar. There's no reward for the risk of keeping Nilsson here. Have Demko back up Marky and call 'er good. Got a feeling Demko will be our starter by TDL anyways.

It is 5 p.m. The #FlaPanthers and forward Adam Mascherin have officially parted ways. He will re-enter the draft.

That's actually news. 40 goal man for Kitchener. 3x plus 30 goals.

Where do you think he moves up in the draft?

You don’t know that, that’s just your opinion.

Shot 89 today btw, showed up ten minutes before my 9:20am tee time because I was busy and paid for it.

Agreed, but would rather keep the pick.
Just keep drafting until we have enough pieces.
