NHL Offseason Thread: Plugged Up Cat Butts and Unknown Russians

[Deader2818]

Wait, so Richards was... questioned going over the border about having a prescription drug in his possession, but with no actual charges filed against him. And that warranted his contract being terminated?

What did the Kings do to Stoll after his cocaine bust?

Nothing. Stoll is a UFA.

DL and Soloman are lawyers though so for anyone that thinks they just did this and are hoping for the best don't know them every well.

Oilers traded Boyd Gordon to Phoenizona for Lauri Korpikoski.
I guess it's a small upgrade for cheaper? But Gordon was a decent faceoff guy

Actually reading up on it is a bigger issue than people think it is. Oxycodone is a big problem in Canada and has been for the last few years. Reports are also they he had them in a bottle that was not labeled as Oxycodone.

[Richybear]

I used to work warehousing for a drugstore company, and the Rx area was keycard access only etc. But one day they needed help picking orders, and the guy they had helping tried to steal some Oxy's. lol insta-fired

[Obsidian]

If he didn't have a prescription for the oxy and/or tried to conceal it, he's in trouble.

From what ive been reading that seems like it might be the case.

I know people in the US see Oxy and think its a joke but apparently its pretty serious in Canada.

His girlfriend is a doctor in Winnipeg, I know another doctor who was in her graduating class. Hoo boy, this could get interesting.

Hawks said they traded Saad because they were scared of an Hostile offer

He supposedly asked for 6 years at 6.5 mil per year. Dude is talented as fuck and all but thats close to what Toews and Kane made before their new contract kicking in and uh...you're not quite on their level to demand that much.

[Richybear]

Plus as good as he is, unless they have him with a Johansen etc, his numbers will drop.
Would be like putting me on a line with Hall and McDavid, then when I become a UFA saying "Look at my sweet stats! I want eleventy billion dollars" when you know damn well you can put a pylon out there and sometimes a puck will bank in off of it.

Ohhhhh, reading his girlfriend/fiancee aren't together anymore.

Now you just feel sorry for the guy.

[Sepukku]

Speaking of wives/gfs, how do the Hawks feel about Sharp sticking around now? Didn't he bang another player's gal?

[Richybear]

Nah, they patched things over when the player involved was like "I don't blame ya, he is soooo handsome" so now it'll be a superstition like "When Sharpie nails my waifu, we win the Cup that year."

[Selamis]

He never banged anyone's wife, it was the NBC 5 reporter lol, and I doubt that happened either. Media made all this shit up.

But with Bettman in charge it'll be like "I've reviewed the requests for expansion cities, and while Quebec City has that new arena, Toronto could support a 2nd franchise there and Seattle has been dying for a team for some time now, I've decided to expand as follows: A second team will be added.... to Glendale. After further review, no other expansion seems worthwhile, but we will be relocating the Montreal Canadiens to the future of hockey in Gainesville Florida."

The NY post is basically a tabloid parading around as a real newspaper.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? You have guys like Zach Bogosian and Josh Gorges signed for multiple years. You're fine on defense!

Seriously though, Buffalo right now only has 4 NHL defensemen signed (Bogosian for over $5mil cap hit a year too until 2020 lmao) and 6 non-NHL roster defensemen. You are right fucked lol
