@Berger_BYTES Haha!

Someone in #Edmonton had enough time in his or her life to point out that the #Oilers hire only coaches with phallic inferences in their name.😳😱🤣 #NHL #Gretzky #Leafs

@ryker_nuck @xTechHockey I stand corrected

@Daxson35 @xTechHockey

If Byram fetches the 4th overall… what the hell is Hronek worth

@JinzoNFT @TheMugNHL You need everyone pulling in the same direction. That's why.

@Daxson35 @TheMugNHL Why would any of the other bums matter

Mike Babcock: “I told them [McDavid, Draisaitl, Hyman] if you’re not 100% all-in on Mike Babcock, I have no interest in being the coach.”

@Dr_Sinister187 @TheMugNHL Did i offend you?

@Daxson35 @TheMugNHL Fuck your feelings, bitch

@TheMugNHL To me if Babs is saying he will only be the coach if these guys are all-in is short sighted. He needs the all-in with all the players.

@Daxson35 He was asked specifically about the meeting with those three players - hence the comment he made.

@princessrica84 Trading the vets should be part of the rebuild plan.

#Canucks fans: “don’t rush the rebuild!” Also Canucks fans: “trade all the veterans this instant! Why are they waiting so long?!” (it’s been 2 months)

@JordanSpinks42 Let's face it, our players are worth shit all throughout the league. We have nothing to offer.

RJ after spending 4 years with Patrick Allvin - “You wouldn’t believe the offers I got for Pettersson, DeBrusk and Boeser” Proceeds to do absolutely nothing

@Petey4Hart I can see that. I don't think RJ is ready for this. Needs an advisor at least.

RJ is going to get us a 3rd round pick in 2029 for Debrusk

@Mack_Maring @JLazzy23 @_JordanDecker That is part of it.

@JLazzy23 @_JordanDecker The crux of the problem is that management doesn’t tend to do right by players so there’s no incentive for players to do right by the team when they choose to move on. The reality is the best solution is a common respect between player and management. Easier said than done tho

Here’s my issue with it: Hypothetically, if Zach Werenski walked into the CBJ front office tomorrow and demanded a trade to Florida because he only wanted to reunite with Seth Jones and chase a Stanley Cup, would everyone be celebrating it as “player empowerment”? He has a full NMC. He has leverage. He hasn’t made the playoffs since the bubble. So what’s stopping him from doing it? At some point, this stops being player empowerment and starts looking a lot more like a transfer portal, where contracts don’t matter and the competitive balance takes a back seat to the leagues top players handpicking their next destination.

@seyerpa Leafs are screwed!

7 years at AHL and 6 years in NHL. Is 30 now and had a huge season passing it to Kucherov in his Hart year. 8 x 8.5. I love it

@PierreVLeBrun @drosennhl He went off this year but was absent during the playoffs. Is he really worth all those years? 8 mill is a overpayment in my opinion as well.

Confirming that Toronto and Tampa Bay are finalizing a sign-and-trade involving pending UFA Darren Raddysh. Hearing that it will be an eight-year deal with an AAV in the 8's (north of $8 million).

@hotdogthrill @TSNRyanRishaug Say this just shows how much Babcock can ruin a player.

@TSNRyanRishaug "Today’s Babcock news doesn’t change anything as far as the players willingness to consider a return to the Oilers" How can you make a statement like this? You have no clue what every player in that locker room is thinking.

Sounds like there’s been some discussion between the Oilers and Connor Murphy’s camp. Today’s Babcock news doesn’t change anything as far as the players willingness to consider a return to the Oilers, but term and dollars will have to make sense based on the market.

@deniz_people @taj1944 They clearly can't afford what they are doing, so they are cutting corners. They really should look at selling the team.

@taj1944 this is not genuinely about moving on for the rebuild.. Aqua just doesn't want that money on the books. You're going to see just how cheap an owner can get in the next few years.

Lebrun on Canucks: Pettersson, Boeser and DeBrusk are available. They want to tear it all down...On Pettersson...I think Canucks are willing to retain. (Oilers Now)

@SanJoseSharks So much for the Sharks drafting a D at 2.

WE’VE GOT A TRADE 🔀 Hello Michael Kesselring and 27th overall!

@RobTheHockeyGuy 😅

So to recap... Hockey Night in Canada brand belongs to CBC Hockey Night in Canada theme song belongs to TSN But the games are airing on Sportsnet.

"The Hockey Night in Canada brand is owned by CBC and will remain with the public broadcaster." It's the end of an era for watching NHL hockey in Canada. dailyhive.com/vancouver/cbc-…

@DhaliwalSports @Adamkblat Top bad because I want him gone.

Marcus Petterson’s agent shoots down report his client wants out of Vancouver.

@reporterchris @samanthacp_ That is a major shift away from the roots of Canadian television. Unprecedented!

As Sportsnet's new Canadian national rights deal takes effect, this announcement marks the end of "Hockey Night in Canada" as we know it:
