The boqvist brothers are now in florida. Would Adam become like Forsling? No You know what? I wouldn’t doubt if Boqvist under fellow Swede Forsling’s leadership, he becomes a solid player. He has the skill. So ya never know!!! Skill was never the problem, he's fragile. The first time the Boqvist bros played each other in the NHL, neither finished the game.

The first time the Boqvist bros played each other in the NHL, neither finished the game. After all the hype he just is not very good. I will say skill is a problem he does nothing real well and is slow. I will take Adam Clendening over Bo everyday

Especially the many gold medalists from the last two World Juniors, nine total, at least 6 will be full time NHLers.

Canes terminate Kuznetsov's contract with 1 year remaining on it.
Gives them some extra money for a Necas deal.

I think the one thing i really hate about summer is no hockey.
Anyway, heres a somewhat interesting news;
“The KHL will be testing a new backcourt violation rule in their junior hockey league, the MHL. The rule that will come into effect for the 2024-25 season will forbid players from skating the puck back to their side of center in overtime more than one time. A first violation will cause a stoppage in play and the team guilty of the backcourt violation will see a faceoff occur in their defensive zone. Any additional violation in overtime will cause a minor penalty to be called.
The trial run will be interesting to watch as there have been calls for this type of rule in North America, although no change to the rule is pending. NHL clubs have been utilizing their defensive zone in recent years as a reset during overtime and it has made 3 on 3 overtime in the NHL far less exciting than it was when it was first introduced.”

Just for the sake of dull summer conversation, how about another 20min 5-on-5 4th period OT? Go away with losses and ties in the standings. Just wins (and # of games), reg and OT wins are the same. Then the tiebreaker would be goals-for total in the season, not goal differential. No one is going to play for a tie, the goals-for would increase the importance of scoring. There will be no reason to get mad of the other team “running up the score”

There’s a great article in the athletic on taxes. The first half of the article talks about Tavares. He received a 15 million dollar bonus when he signed. Most players say they live in Florida to dodge a bit of taxes.
The Canada Revenue Agency is now saying he owes 8 million of that 15 million bonus.
The title was “Anywhere…. But Canada”. The Canadian teams are at such a disadvantage. First off they have 30+% exchange rate. Which is basically another tax. Then players and orgs are taxed at 53%. It’s just too much and it’s getting worse. They raised capital gains tax. Went from 50% to 67%. So a player trying to take money out of savings when they retire, would be subject to this.
I know I’ve said this many many times on here. I know I’m walking a fine line of getting political. But it’s insanity for people like me, but imagine having to pay your agent, taxes and housing in a different city? 1 million is the same as 390k after taxes.
My fear is that Canadian teams will all be in perpetual rebuilding, like Arizona was. No good players are gonna want to come to Canada if they lose over half their money. There’s absolutely no incentive to do so.
I get it. Not every player can play in Florida, Texas etc. but they’re gonna want to. Paying 37% compared to 53% is massive. And I think we’ll start to see many players refusing to come up here. And many more that are about to sign a big ticket want out!!!

Gawd dam Scambo gets another team on the cusp of a Cup. While I do not think the punishment fit his crime. I don’t care for his work. It’s a lot colder up there than Chicago. Now it’s really hard to root for them. I’m not sure Scambo gets them over the hump. I thought the moves made before he came in were good by Jackson. Kinda weird that he’d do all of that then hire Scambo? Literally, there’s nothing to do with that team now but sit back and watch someone else’s work come to fruition…….. again!!!

All honesty, I don’t know why they would take on this reclamation project except maybe he comes cheap being desperate to get back into the league. I believe Jackson still runs everything with Bowman having little autonomy, just doing the mundane everyday stuff Jackson can’t be bothered with.

Bowman is the Oilers new GM 🤣 I actually thought Oilers had a great offseason, and then this. Its a lose-lose situation for Bowman too. If the team doesnt win a cup, its a step back from how they finished this season. If they do, no one is going to give him credit

If the team doesnt win a cup, its a step back from how they finished this season. If they do, no one is going to give him credit Bowman got all the credit for 2010, despite the fact that team was put together by Tallon. I don't know for a fact, but I'm not sure Tallon's name is even on the 2010 cup. So if the Oilers win, I guarantee Bowman will TAKE the credit, whether he gets it from anyone else or not.

The think if the teams split the arena, they’d be very profitable. Phoenix area has the 5th largest population in the USA. So it’s worth it to have a team there!!!

The suns /phoenix built a new arena but for basketball only, like that shitty barclay center in brooklyn. That was why the Yotes had to move to gila arena. This was all under the original owner. The last guy had 1.7B from his group to invest in the complex but the neighboring town to phoenix said no.

The last guy had 1.7B from his group to invest in the complex but the neighboring town to phoenix said no. There’s gotta be more to it than what meets the eye. Why would a city on multiple occasions not approve an arena for professional sports teams? I think they could build the new arena, sell off the old arena/land. Or transfer with the city, and get some tax dollars to go with it. Deals like that go down all the time. I remember reading an article where Michael Wilbon said he disapproved the new arena deal. He didn’t give details. But he lives near there I guess and a lot of people were saying they didn’t want the 2-3 years of construction in their backyards. Maybe it was all the old owner? He did have a shitty reputation!!!
