Kane was also accused of some sort of sexual assault. I just remember Jets fans chanting "she said nooooooo" at that one game. Gold.

I think you're all talking about different Kane's here

Imposter Kane is back?

No suspension from the NHL for Kuznetsov because cocaine is not considered a performance enhancing drug. :lawl:

-will be interesting to see the counter offer from Benning in response to Boeser's agent.

Brock's agent: 4 year, 28 million US.

Per CapFriendly, the Canucks have just $5.06 million in cap space with Boeser and Nikolay Goldobin still in need of new deals. Benning said Monday he's not concerned about the cap crunch and noted he has the permission of ownership to demote veterans.

“Guys who deserve to be here will be here and we’ll probably have to make some tough decisions,” Benning said when asked if the club would be willing to demote veterans.

“That could happen but we have options and LTIR and different options. A lot depends on camp.”

Kuzma notes the team could free $3 million in cap space by placing Antoine Roussel on long-term injured reserve. Roussel underwent surgery for a torn ACL in April.

These two quotes are awesome lol
"I never took drugs, give me a drug test and I’ll pass it," he told Russian media outlet Sport Express in May.

"It’s not possible for us to control athletes who at a young age leave Russia for places with a completely different culture," minister Pavel Kolobkov said in a statement.

Knowing JB, probably something like 4 year for $30 mill US and a no movement clause.

Nah, JB plays hardball with the talented players.

It's the "meat & potatoes" "character" "foundational" guys that he hands out the big money contracts with little-to-no negotiation (e.g. Gudbranson, Sbisa, Dorsett, Sutter, etc.)

I really enjoy missing the playoffs by a mile 4 years in a row and trading away our first round pick to make the best team's cap crunch into our cap crunch.

Should've been a 1st coming OUR way, not the other way around. :rukidding:

don't think it's the 7 mil that's the issue, it's probably the term that they haven't agreed on.

Coyotes sign Keller to eight-year, $57.2M contract extension

Not sure if that impacts Boeser's asking price.

Benning signs Goldobin for1 year at 900 grand.

Almost hockey time!

anyone know what the story is behind Pierre Maguire's demotion? too lazy to look it up

There was some controversy around him and Kendall Coyne Schofield last season that may have contributed to it.

Official reason hasn't been stated yet.

This seems like it shouldn't have taken 2 months considering his QO was $874k (on a 2-way).

thats abit of a good sign

Yeah, EP looks noticeably beefier this year but doesn't seem to have overdone it. I think this is a good thing too.

Surprised no one posted this.

Semi NSFW

He didn't go ultra super saiyan, he went ssj2. lol

Higgy returns to the team in a player development role.
