This is the equivalent to your dog walker telling you they can't walk your dog anymore....after your wife leaves you.

Kinda curious with the Gaudreau timing. Wonder if there was a chance to sign him at a discount if Johnny stayed.

I doubt it. Players are all looking after themselves. Winning is rarely top priority when you are a depth player. It's all about maximizing your earning potential.

Yeah 100% on point what I was going to respond. You don't take a pay cut as a 4th-6th defensemen based on what a star player signs. You have to look after yourself because you never know if you have a bad year or even get injured it could be one of the last good paydays you get in your career

Those who watched Stockton closely said Valimaki didn't even look good at the AHL level. At this point, I think that shot needs to be given to someone else.

Earned a big payday after his play this season. Glad he will be getting it from someone else.

Is that market in Novaya Zemlya? Has he done his Mandatory Military Service?

Don't think he's going home any time soon. He's been openly anti war . He'd likely end up in a gulag without military service.

So we're losing the tall guy and the short, fast guy. I guess we're left with team fat guy.
