Whoa!! Didn’t see that coming! It will be interesting if he is claimed, otherwise back to the AHL unless he wants to be released and possibly play overseas.

No need to play overseas he has a 1 way contract so he gets the same pay down in AHL. At the end of the day he is just not good enough for NHL but he will have a long career in the A

Might not happen this year but sounds like it's going to happen. I don't think a draft venue has been decided on for the '24 draft so it may very well happen this year.
Well done nhl.

If this is the case, i'm a bit better with it. Correct me if i'm wrong but i believe last draft we went thru the entire first round without a transaction of any kind. After the first (and 19th) pick, i found the rest of the first round kind've boring at the time.

I still think he woulda been better off playing em all at Rockford than sittin' half the time with the big club last year and his value night have been better too. He'll more than likely be no loss but was there any doubt he'd be included in a trade last summer?

Depressing factoid o' the day. DJ better figure it out soon,mgnt has given him what looks like three legit #1 D-men and they're paid like it too. Chabot's on a 8M max deal,Sanderson's 8M max deal starts next year and Chychrun's will be due soon too,Zub makes 4.6M for 4 more years also.....that'll be almost 29M dedicated to four D-men. I'm not too sure they've figured out their GT situation either,even though they also made another sizable commitment to Korpisalo this summer after trading 25yro Gustavsson to MN last summer. Both Ottawa GT's haven't looked very good so far and the truth is,neither has ever been that stud #1 starter at this point in their careers. Buffalo's another team with a few young,highly-paid,D-men and they give up tons of goals too,but that'll happen when you back your 21yro GT prospect up with these two.... www.nhl.com/sabres/player/eric-comrie-8477480www.nhl.com/sabres/player/ukko-pekka-luukkonen-8480045

How bout them 1-5-1 Oilers? Highest ranked team they’ve played so far is #5 Rangers. How long will that be tolerated before someone is axed?

Vaderx. the way I was told, all the staff will stay back at their own draft room, scouts, GM, All the people I guess that have a say in who we pick, asst Gm might be at the real draft, but that's not a sure thing yet, and this was brought up by the GM's at the resent get together, still has to be voted on and approved, by the NHL, which I think might even have happened., the traditional draft , 32 teams so close together having to shout over others is getting to, confusing and loud, GM's like the privacy I guess, LOL On the money side they can have it anywhere, with out having to house all the teams, so owners will like that . but I'm with you I enjoy watching the draft play out ,the players are the ones loosing out , no more meeting all the staff, star played sometimes, I know that must be a big thrill
So the Gm calls Betman, he goes up and announces the name, said player comes down and gets his sweater, I hope they have someone there besides betman to put it on , poses's for pics then goes the F--k home I guess

Haven't yet listened to marek's podcast regarding this so i can't comment beyond this tweet. One of the best things about this league has always been the draft. Why fuck with it?

I’ll admit I don’t watch them much but Woodcroft introduced a new defensive system this year. So far all I’ve seen are confused players. They look like a Colliton team in their own end. Woodcraft defends this by saying the system is good,it’s the players. He’ll lose the room soon if they don’t turn it around.

I don’t want the politics of it. I’m sick of hearing it. But if they’re allowed back in, I’d bet the Oil would 💯 reach out!!!

Have you heard anything about that? NHL always seems to have some kind of PR debacle ongoing, would this just be another one? Anyways, management has backed him and McDavid being out gives the whole org a reprieve.

I know back in September Q and Scambo spoke to the NHL GMs and executives at O’Hare airport in a conference room. I’m not sure what the point was except to be the next step in them both returning. I will say that Babcocks recent debacle may swerve Gary’s decision the other way. Basically the old guard may not change their ways!!!

They have to be thinking “Why take the chance?” on reinstatement. The league isn’t exactly a paragon of virtue and ethics but they are big on image. Even someone with Q’s pedigree isn’t above the league when it comes to that. I don’t even know what would motivate Q, at the age of 65, to return and possibly reignite all this unless it was about cleaning his legacy. There’s no way to catch Scotty for the all-time record. I’m curious how this plays out.

I’m curious how this plays out. I think it’s just love of the game. He’s not ready to kick back and retire to Florida. The only reason why I think they’ll be reinstated is because I doubt they do one without the other. And Scambo is the son of gawd it seems. Also Scambo is younger. He’s only 50. So I doubt they reinstate one without the other. It just wouldn’t make sense!!!

Scambo I think will have a long road back to any spot of importance on whatever team would hire him.

I will say that Babcocks recent debacle may swerve Gary’s decision the other way. Basically the old guard may not change their ways!!! Regardless how I fell about either guy,I still see a difference between their actions and Babcock's,I also know many won't. IMO,Q and SB made one VERY BAD DECISION and Babcock exhibited a long career pattern of abusive behavior. Even though those decisions came at the behest of an iron-fisted CEO/President,either the GM with the influential,hockey god father or the long tenured,well respected HC,still could have demanded the AC's immediate dismissal......neither did. These decisions came in the heat of the biggest battle of their careers at that point,heading into the SCF as prohibited favorites and neither covered-up or kept anything from their superiors but they were decisions that cost both dearly none the less. This isn't to justify those decisions either but look deep inside yourselves and think about the decision you'd have made in the same scenario. I think it's fair to say this was the only indiscretion on the part of Q or SB throughout their careers. BabCOCK on the other hand was both iron-fisted,authority figure and antagonist with a long history of abusive behavior! He didn't make one bad character decision while following the instructions of his superior,he was one bad character,keeping his abusive behavior from his superiors. That's the difference I see.

Babcock is a terrible person, so it's good that he stays away from the NHL but you're right, it's totally different with Q. He's a real leader and him not wanting to talk about a troubled kids actions when they're on the brink of a Stanley Cup finals shouldn't be worthy of not being allowed to coach again. Guys higher up messed that up and now he's paying for it, doesn't seem fair.
