Just read through Vegas' expansion thread from four years ago, and here are some quotes for all of you folks feeling like the end of the world is near after watching the draft unfold....

 

"Man that's ugly. Most thought they were going to start with a pretty solid blue line. Not so much.... "

"need these trades cause it really feels like they're going for a fair number of suboptimal guys. "

(in response to the picks being leaked) "I'd like to take a leak on some of these choices... woof."

"Bummer. "

"Kind of disappointed... Knights had a chance with the weak Pacific to be really competitive and reach playoffs this season but these choices kind of kill that."

"Quote"does this team even reach the cap floor? "- "The better question is how many wins can that team even get? "

"Ugh. "

"Same for me. I'm disappointed. "

(On tanking) "I think this is the right play if the end goal is to win the Cup as soon as possible. You need elite players to be a Cup contender. Pretty much all Cup winners draft their elite players. You may get lucky a time or two with a guy in Round 2-7, but most elite players get drafted top 5/10. "

"They'll be a bottom half of the league team for sure, but maybe more towards the middle of the pack than the bottom. A lot of it will come down to how these guys gel in the locker room, how well Turk runs them, and to what extent they get return from the prospects they bring in from trade. "

"Wooooooof."

 

Any of it sound familiar? :D

The Kraken will open their season on Oct. 12, visiting the Vegas Golden Knights -- the NHL's 31st team, which began play in the 2017-18 season. Seattle opens their home -- the Climate Pledge Arena -- on Oct. 23 against the Vancouver Canucks.

The Philadelphia Flyers are acquiring defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen from the Buffalo Sabres, according to multiple reports Friday, in exchange for a package including defenseman Robert Hagg and draft picks.

Ristolainen has spent his entire eight-year career in Buffalo after being selected by the Sabres in the first round of the 2013 NHL Draft. The 26-year-old compiled 18 points (four goals, 14 assists) in 49 games played in the 2020-21 season.

Ufff, tole bi znalo bit zelo dobro za Flyerse. 

aja je ze done deal lel

Texas and Oklahoma will send letters to the Big 12 on Monday informing the league that they do not intend to renew its grant-of-rights agreement upon expiration in 2025, multiple sources told The Athletic.

Such a move is the next necessary step in clearing a path for the two schools to leave the conference and join the SEC, starting a massive ripple effect throughout college athletics. 247Sports first reported the news Friday.

Meanwhile, the remaining eight members of the Big 12 are making contingency plans and assessing what their value would be to other conferences, sources said. Those schools pledged during a call Thursday evening that they would try to stay together, but they are planning for an alternate future in the meantime.

“I’m shellshocked,” a Big 12 athletic director told The Athletic on Friday morning, relaying what has been a mind-blowing 48 hours chock full of confusion, angst and a chilling feeling of betrayal.

Reaching out to the Pac-12 about a potential 20-school merger was discussed during Thursday’s Big 12 leadership call. Such a move seems to be a more favorable alternative for the Big 12 than bringing in new members, which might involve raiding the American Athletic Conference, to lift its membership back into double digits.

“Bringing in a Cincinnati and UCF doesn’t bring any eyeballs,” the AD said.

A second league AD said, “There is no combination of Group of 5 members we can add that will garner our same TV deal, but it’s all on the table right now,” then added, “I don’t think (Texas) A&M has been very successful in blocking this.”

Texas and Oklahoma’s flirtation with the SEC appears to have been months in the making. Though the story leaked Wednesday, just before Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher took the microphone at SEC media days, sources indicated that the process began long before that.

Last week, Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby remarked how stable the league was and categorized realignment as “not one of the things that keeps me up at night,” citing a shrinking cable market as more consumers have migrated to streaming services.

Bowlsby has yet to comment publicly on Texas and Oklahoma’s potential move.

Several sources indicated that the current sentiment among the remaining Big 12 members can best be described as “pissed at Texas and disappointed in Oklahoma.”

“I’m not surprised by Texas, but I’m really disappointed by the way OU has handled this,” the second Big 12 AD said. “They’ve participated in all our meetings without saying a single word.

“I think this has been going on for six months — at a minimum of probably three months — and ESPN has been right in the middle of it.”

The grant-of-rights agreement makes it difficult for Texas and Oklahoma to leave the conference quickly. Under the contract, any school that leaves the Big 12 before its expiration would forfeit its remaining media rights distributions, plus pay what it would have received for the final two years of the contract as a buyout.

The Big 12’s 2020 payout to schools was $37.7 million. Sources believe Texas and Oklahoma would be looking at a fee of potentially $80 million or more if it entered the SEC with two years remaining on the grant of rights. Under the terms of Big 12 bylaws, if Texas and Oklahoma do give notice next week as expected, the schools would not be permitted to exit until June 30, 2023, at the earliest. Granted, these requirements might merely be a starting point in the expected exit negotiations.

Sources told The Athletic on Thursday that the Sooners and Longhorns are prepared to wait until the grant-of-rights and media rights deals expire in 2025 before moving to a new league. That would remove any possibility of legal action from the current Big 12 members.

That doesn’t mean Texas and Oklahoma aren’t looking for a path to get out sooner.

“Attorneys are digging into the grant-of-rights agreement — what does that look like? Think about the alternatives,” the second Big 12 athletic director said. “If they’re getting out before then, there’s gonna be so many legal battles and all the back and forth.”

Once the Sooners and Longhorns declare they’re not renewing, the SEC can begin officially engaging with the schools. For the two schools to gain admittance to the SEC, they must be approved by at least three-fourths of the league members, meaning 11 of the 14 SEC schools must say “yes” to invite Oklahoma and Texas into the league.

The AAC, as a conference, would like to try to poach the Big 12’s leftovers, multiple high-ranking administrators told The Athletic. But individual schools within the AAC might be more interested in trying to jump to the Big 12 if it stays intact. The Big 12 will retain its designation as an Autonomy 5 conference regardless of whether it loses two members. That is significant from an NCAA governance and representational standpoint, and losing members does not immediately jeopardize that status.

 

 

a bo to uniclo Big 12?

Dober pick ta Beniers po mojem, razen tega, da je Pats fan in rekel, da je bil vesel, ko so jim Hawksi podarili SB. Ne ravno pametne besede ob prihodu v mesto. :D Pa verjetno bo tudi šel še eno leto nazaj na Michigan skupaj s Powerjem in ostalo falango.

 

:lol:

 

 

Pa ne vem, kaj tem ni jasno, da so ga draftali. 

 

The Habs took Logan Mailloux with the No. 31 pick just days after the defenceman posted a statement on Twitter asking teams not to choose him in this year's draft.

 

Mailloux's statement followed news that he had been charged and paid a fine in Sweden for distributing a sexual photo without consent.

 

"Being drafted into the NHL is an honour and a privilege that no one takes lightly," he wrote. "The NHL Draft should be one of the most exciting landmark moments in a player's career, and given the circumstances, I don't feel I have demonstrated strong enough maturity or character to earn that privilege in the 2021 draft."
