Anything from the BK lobby on this or speculation?

Elway did not win a ring one until Davis got there and ran him to 2.

Manning went forever with one ring, one his second one when he was essentially useless.

Kyle Shanahan choked last year and allowed the Chiefs to win their first. He lost because he abandoned what worked the first 2 and a half quarters.

The Chiefs have two, they won SB IV. Len Dawson was the MVP.

It seems you should do some trading w/ Vegas now that they signed Lehner and have to trade MAF!
Maybe get MAF (no salary retained) and Tuch (sweetener) for Hutton, Mittelstadt, and a 3rd.
Vegas has $8M to re-sign RFA's and shop for an FA
Sabers have improved goaltending and a solid top 6 forward!

- HenryHockey


I am sure Vegas would take the deal and thank Adams.

The Tennessee Titans had two positive tests come back today. One player and one coach per sources.

And that should do it

There is no reason the NFL didn’t do a bubble.

AFC East
AFC Central
NFC East
NFC Central

One bubble (and so on for the other divisions) and work your schedule with those teams.
For the playoffs do like the old divisional series in Hockey. No team leaves the bubble until the second round. Two host cities for the second rd and third rd. One for the AFC and one for the NFC.

It would’ve been difficult but it could’ve been done.

I agree, but I don't see them canceling games just yet, I think Tennessee is gonna be investigated because there is a possibility that some players weren't wearing there contact bracelets.

3 nhl.com mock drafts have the devil's taking holtz and saw perfetti goes 8th in at least one of them

Devil's are open to trading the 18th or 20th for a young forward or top 4 dman with term or under team control such as RFA

I don't either right know, if the NFL investigation proves that they broke the protocol, they might have to forfeit what games are postponed. Depending on how bad they broke the rules.

It was and is selfish. I get the not wanting to be away from your family but on the flip side we are talking about high end salaries. They could’ve done a 14 game schedule and had everyone in a bubbles. NYC, Miami, Atlanta, LA, Dallas, Chicago, Boston, Vegas, Arizona all would have been in the running for host cities.

Montour, pending on how NJ feels about him, would be the only one of those that fits that bill from Buffalo. Feel it’s light though, would need an add on Buf side

I agree, they should have planned it out better. Unfortunately it is coming down to a team and players breaking protocols that were agreed upon by the NFLPA and NFL, this might not have got so out of hand if they didn't.

Maybe Montour and a 3rd

Risto would also fit the bill but not sure if the devil's would be interested

Also feel it may be one of those last second deals where NJ sees who is available at 7 and who is on the board around 18

If Drysdale is there I think devil's take him 7th as Fitzgerald had good things to say about him, didn't seem as hot on Sanderson but wouldn't be a shock there.

The devil's do have some nice D prospects (not Earth shattering) in ty Smith, bahl and Walsh but do need D but also need help on the wings

I wouldn't be shocked if the devil's trade palmieri if there is a good offer

Good Center depth especially if Hughes takes next step
Nico
Hughes
Zacha
Zajac

But wingers are a work in progress
Bratt looks good but he misses time
Palms is a good stable consistent winger
Gusev was very good

So two more positive tests in Tennessee this am brings it to 18 positive tests in the past week. Next week’s Titans-Bills game now in jeopardy.

That rumor about the Devils taking Askarov at 7 has to be baloney, right?

So I think that all started when Fitz was talking about multiple prospects and praised askarov so people went running with it

He may be a great goalie but think it's a little too high based on the other talent in the draft and the devil's have other holes to fill

The devil's goalie prospects aren't great but blackwood has shown he is capable and he had stolen games or kept the devil's in games even behind an dumpster fire of a defense. So while the devil's won't be competitive for a couple of years which is probably when askarov would be ready I think the devil's will look for other areas that need help. The devil's need a sniper like holtz as they have alot of playmakers but not many shooters other than palms

Would I hate the pick if they went with askarov no, since if he stays healthy and hits then he can be a top goalie, but think there are too many holes elsewhere so would prefer a forward of it isn't Drysdale or lesser extent sanderson

Fitz, as in the Fitz that posts here?

I've seen the rumor shared by some rumor sites for at least a week now.
