Freiman's 31 Thoughts Dec 27

You have to think that this would just gut Principe ......

You can tell the storyline annoys him as McDavid gave quite the stink-eye to Sportsnet sideline reporter Gene Principe when Geno asked him about it during a pre-game bench interview last Saturday. (Sorry, Gene. That was the studio’s fault.)

Friedman mentions in this article that the Coyotes are looking to give Anthony Duclair a fresh start.

I'd trade Lazar + a prospect for Duclair.

Hmm which prospect? Lazar is not really worth anything.

Interesting quote about Stephanie Vail and her GIF's

29. Last Wednesday the NHL closed a lengthy pursuit of Stephanie Vail, whose online GIF work through the Twitter handle @myregularface made her an essential social media follow for hockey fans.

There were failed conversations a couple of years ago (which involved different people than now), but I don’t think the idea of hiring her truly went away. You can follow her work through @NHLGifs, but she has also been given a “central dropbox” where teams can pluck her stuff and post it on their own feeds.

The reason I mention Vail is this: People ask all the time about getting into hockey or into the media. The greatest advantage this generation has is the ability to give yourself a voice. We didn’t have this kind of mass communication when I was 10, 15, 20 or 25. I strongly believe that the right people are always watching. Always. You are constantly being evaluated, whether you recognize it or not. Remember that.

Both players might benefit from a change of scenery.
