Looks like France is on the verge of a 2nd wave of covid.

Next up, a 6 year Brandon Beane extension (I hope)!

Nice! Congrats Tre! Glad we will have him for a while. His best days are still ahead of him IMO.

first big surprise of today! 😂

https://nhl.nbcsports.com/2020/08/23/capitals-fire-coach-todd-reirden-after-two-seasons/ Capitals fire Todd Rierden after losing to Barry Trotz in the 1st round of the playoffs. 2 years after letting Trotz walk (when he wanted a new deal) supposedly because of how highly the GM thought of Rierden. He was getting head coaching interview opportunities and they didn’t want to let him get away. The GM also said he worried Trotz’s voice was growning stale. The offseason after the Caps had won the Cup. I’d have a lot of questions for Brian Maclellan if I were a Caps fan.

I feel the exact opposite of you. IMO If Adams doesn’t qualify him I’ll consider it a mistake. I don’t think he’s terrible. He had a down season but look at how he was used. Dude didn’t have a consistent partner,eve during a game. He was given a rotating cast of D partners and asked to play the left side, right side and sometimes even a few shifts at forward all in the same game. Last time Anaheim was in the playoffs (season before Montour was traded here), Montour was their best defenseman. He took over games. We haven’t really seen much of that player in Buffalo (maybe a bit under Housley) but what player has come to Buffalo and thrived? Skinner in his contract year riding shotgun to Eichel? I won’t be surprised if he’s traded and has a rebound year playing for a more competent organization. I am perfectly fine trying to trade him, especially if Krueger plans to continue to use him like he did last season, but he’s not the type of player you don’t qualify. He’s not in that class of depth/throw away players not worth their QO. He’s worth something. He’s a young top 4 right handed “puck moving” defenseman with good mobility, some offense to his game, a good shot and the ability to WB a power play. That’s a # of things teams look for and the type of asset that should at least hold some value in the current NHL. His contract situation and down season may hurt his value but if Adams has to let him walk for nothing to move him off the roster, it’s not going to fill me with very much confidence w/r/t Adams abilities as a GM.

Good! Hopefully he’s being honest (I think he is).

Boy do I wish he had the same type of standards for the US...
