Yes, the only things that are missing now are a Jankowski-titled thread where we can post more opinions about Sam, and a Bennett-titled thread where we can discuss Jankowski.

Mark Stone has asked for a trade.

Not a good source, but it would make complete sense. The Sens should move him (and Duchene) sooner rather than later.

Can't see that being true at this time of year.

Be aware of twitter accounts that get in random arguments with nobodies and tweet out bad jokes

Come join your brother Mark.

Sam Bennett would look great in a Sens uniform.

[mrdonkey]

I don't see how this could work with the Flames unless there's a lot of salary being sent back (which for obvious reasons Melnyk would not accept). Bennett+Frolik+Kylington??

I'd focus on fixing the goaltending before looking at another RW.

Rumor Break is not reliable, has been outed in the past as a fan account.

If the Flames didn't go out and get Neal, it would make sense to get Stone. Flames should spend the assets on a elite goalie like Bobrovsky.

He's the guy that faked his own death right?

Thought Dotchin looked decent in his callups with Tampa.

Bob McKenzie is saying that Dotchin arrived at camp a good 30 lbs overweight.

I know that there have been reports out there that suggested his body fat was as high as 25 per cent. I don't know if those numbers are accurate," McKenzie told First Up on TSN 1050 Toronto. "What I can tell you, and what I do believe is accurate, is that he was a good 30 to 35 pounds above his playing weight. So I don't know what percentage body fat he was, but I can tell you that the relative expectations of what the Lightning expect him to play at versus what he showed up as, it was a good 30 pounds.

Seems kind of harsh... I wonder if he'll do a grievance. Regardless if he'll agree to a two-way I wouldn't object to the Flames making an offer.

[Poe969]

I'm pretty sure the Flames are interested in him. They offered the all you can eat seats to lure him there...

Funny as this might be, and though he's a pro athlete subject to all the scrutiny that entails... Dotchin's still a person, and I'm sure he's already suitably humiliated.

We don't know what (if anything) he's going through, but for a 24-year-old pro athlete to just pack on 30lbs is pretty unusual.

I think we can safely assume all's not right in his world.

Maybe he's pregnant.

This makes sense as he's already eating for 2

Byfuglien used to do this every summer.
Go boating and pack on the weight.

And Kyle Wellwood. Without the boating.

Insider trading:

https://www.tsn.ca/video/insider-tra...a-deal~1493252

McKenzie's sense is that Nylander and Leafs want a long term deal rather than a bridge

Theodore would like a short term deal with Vegas but Vegas wants a longer deal

Ritchie and Ducks trying to get a bridge deal done but that has been really tough sledding

virtually no dialog of late between Wood and the Devils


Sharks and Karlsson may wait until after the trade deadline to sign a 8 year extension
Not saying that Karlsson does want to sign in SJ but if he does he will likely want the 8 year deal.


BJs GM has no interest in trading Panarin and his #1 priority is to re-sign him


Dreger says he has heard that the NHL's starting point with Voynov is a 1 year suspension IF he is cleared to return. Also heard 80 game suspension.
NHL waiting on Watson appeal before moving forward on Voynov
