A bit like asking a father for permission to marry his daughter, even though it isn't strictly required by law or anything. On a somewhat related topic, nice to see that Sean Penn has a "sense of humor" of sorts: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another respected Swede, still with the organization. I'm sure OEL asked permission from both of them before he even considered taking #23!

Are the coaches allowed, by the CBA, to be at these skates though? I’m not too sure how that all works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Nugent Hopkins and Zach Hyman just signed 5 million for 8 years and they're around the the same age. We paid 2 million a season more on the capto save 2 years of dead cap. We got best deal so far of the off-season. First logical post about this I have bothered to read. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does indicate either his fitness level, his level of effort, or his skating ability. According to some AZ fans I saw commenting, this is an indicator of his his skating, as he hasn't had the same jump since his knee surgery, and some facets of his game, like his ability to close gaps, have been called into question. I know we like to look at everything with rose tinted glasses here, but can we not pretend it's a nothingburger that the supposed "number one defenseman" that we're paying 7 mill and change for just embarassed himself?

This is the information we have available to us on the player at the moment, and it is concerning, especially considering that his foot speed has been a big issue for him since his knee surgery. Nobody is doing the team of the player any favors by looking for excuses to give the guy a free pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
