With Chabot out, it's considerably less "fun" to watch.

Kelly/Gambrell/Watson/Gaudette/Ennis/Mete/MDZ all fringe NHL players, I wonder why?!

I know the league is doing its due diligence right now. Could be days or weeks until we know.

***Update on Gord_Wilson_2.0, he's out of surgery and will be staying for observation overnight. So good news so far!***

Does anyone have any expectations for Hamonic tonight? I gotta say, his presser from this morning was actually really good.

not be as bad as J.Brown

Kucherov rule might be coming, extending salary cap to the playoffs and 1M raise to the salary to 82.5M next year

Oh interesting! It's about time.

Big expectations lol!

North Dakota is tied at 1 with Notre Dame after the 2nd period. Remember if Dakota loses, Jake Sanderson should be signed not long after!

Until this team gets rid of Zaitsev it wont matter what changes they make on the blueline. Like Mete is any worse at this point. Whoever plays with captain chaos has struggled defensively big time. Now Holden is struggling with Zaitsev.

For all the Chabot haters it certainly has shown his worth to the team!

The only elite player Ottawa has. On any decent team he'd be up for the Norris every year.

North Dakota season over, lost 2-1 in OT, will Sanderson Sign or pull a Hayes

Its crazy because Notre Dame scored at the end of the game, the goal was overturned. Then they went to OT, then Notre Dame won in OT. Sanderson will be on his way to Ottawa soon enough.

Yes agreed!

It was a nice tip goal by Brady off the Zub shot. Colin White won a beauty faceoff in the offensive zone too.

The increase in the cap is not going to provide much relief for those teams that are already struggling to stay under. There is going to be some very good players made available to the teams that have sufficient cap to absorb the salary.

Without a doubt!

Many of us on here arent Melnyk fans. I was told he wanted to come to town this weekend for the game to talk to with Dorion face to face about the fiasco with Vegas. I'm told from a very good source that Melnyk's health isn't good right now due to complications from the transplant he had!

And when will Gustavsson start again in goal?! They are wasting a whole year of development with him. I've been told a few things from inside the org and many are furious with how DJ has handled him.

Yes, I am aware of the health concerns. My backing off in my criticisms of Melnyk over the past year has been (in part) due to the speculation on his failing health.

I see. Well the complications of his transplant are actually pretty bad right now, I'm told with someone very close to his family.

Nice to see the blueline TOI so balanced tonight. 12:37 to 15:06....it really balances things out.
