Re: The Official 2024-25 Season Talk Thread
How many teams have traded their captain midseason and made the playoffs, period?*

Re: The Official 2024-25 Season Talk Thread
And this is why the cap needs to be kept. In addition to killing smaller markets, the on-ice quality of games would suffer greatly. 4 or 5 markets would gobble up all the stars (and grossly overpay...

Re: The Official 2024-25 Season Talk Thread
Mid-season? Hmm, no I don't think so.
Pre-season? I can think of at least one very famous example.
Personal anecdote: Game 7 of Oilers/Kings was April 15, 1989 and was joined in progress on...

Re: MLS Discussion Thread
You're right, they won their "home" game in Portland last year (and one of the best-of-3 against LAFC).
After bonuses, the Whitecaps received $22M US for selling Alphonso Davies to Bayern. Where'd...

Some fascinating stuff here. The cap didn't hit the 77M payroll of the 03/04 Rangers until the 18/19 season!
EDIT: The 03/04 Rangers...

Interesting. Sounds like players don't like the dressing rooms. Attached a snippet of the player poll from The Athletic.

Re: The Official 2024-25 Season Talk Thread

Re: The Official 2024-25 Season Talk Thread
There's speculation that it went down like this:
1. Rantanen wanted to have his cake and eat it too. He wanted to stay in Colorado for his price, or as close as he could get to it as possible. He...

Re: MLB Off-Topic
I'll believe this when I hear baseball execs and former players say it. Bonds and Clemens each received about 65% of the BBWAA votes on their final HOF ballot. Once the Veterans Committee (13/16 of...

Brind'Amour: When Rantanen showed up, he said, "There’s four teams I’ll go play for and you’re not one of them."
Apparently those teams were Dallas, Edmonton, Florida, Toronto.

Wait, the Wild are (mostly) free of the Parise/Suter millstones this offseason, correct? They really could add Boeser and Nelson to complete their collection of Minnesota Brocks!
