Maybe Conroy is going to hold a presser and announce a trade with Pittsburgh?

If it is Boston and it is that close but they have to wait then it means there is a roster player involved.

Using the Google maps measure distance tool, the shortest distance from T-Mobile to the entrance of the casino at MGM Park is 155 metres. From where the entrance to Scotia Place will be to Cowboys Casino is approximately 130 metres. Edmonton has both Calgary and Vegas beat, with the casino attached the arena.

Of course, if you're an NHL team, you probably want to stay far away from any player for whom the proximity of your arena to nearest casino is a deciding factor.

Lohrei wasn't drafted in his first year of eligibility; mostly prep hockey that year and only nine games in the USHL so wasn't on the radar. Took a pretty big jump after that and was of course drafted in the 2nd round in 2020.

The thought did occur to me that Conroy might stall as much as possible to see if any other teams jump into the mix.

Standings are tight and Boston is currently in the 2nd WC spot. Some team around them might want to try and an one-up them.

Lohrei is in the lineup tonight

As mentioned it's his birthday, and his sister is on the siblings trip and did a pre game video hit for the Bruins

Wow. I didn't think there could be anything closer than the Park. Or NYNY for that matter. Quick- do New York New York. It's almost attached.

New scoop - Charlie McAvoy's sil and Lohrei's sister are besties and that's what's holding up the trade.

Was anyone of significance scratched from either game?

NYNY's Casino is at the front of the building facing the strip. You have to walk up through The Park promenade to get to the doors to the casino. Park MGM Casino is set back from the strip thus making it closer to the arena.

Have to think its not that close.




If they had the pieces agreed to in principal and were just waiting for Rasmus and team negotiate contract, they would be sitting guys.

Just so that I can wrap my head around where we stand right now. Boston has a close enough of a package to get to talk extension with Andersson. Vegas is going in with a rental price, figuring that they can sign him afterwards. Everyone else is on the fringes of a deal.

Does that sound about right?

All I can think is that both teams are comfortable with the risk and didn't want to scratch guys to draw even more questions to the situation
