@LukeGraham05 Luke, did you ever get any indication on what Lemay's injury was? I've been curious about whether the Caps sign him. (And of course, he can choose not to sign, and become a free agent in August.) TIA

3:10 p.m. — Short range weather models suggest heavy snow potential this evening With a coastal low beginning to rapidly intensify east of the Virginia Capes, the area continues to see widespread rain and snow with additional precipitation developing and moving in. Multiple runs of multiple high-resolution weather models show the potential for zones of 1-to-2 inch per hour snowfall rates this evening. One big caveat is temperatures that are only marginally cold. They have not moved far off highs in the mid- and upper 30s. With the sun going down, a more noticeable dip is ahead. It could still take until 5 p.m., give or take an hour, for snow to become dominant across the whole area. By about 6 p.m., we should start to see heavier snow zones congealing as temperatures fall through the mid-30s and toward freezing. Moving through mid-evening there could be rapid accumulation in some locations. Upwards of 1-2 inches per hour possible. Heavier snowfall will pull the temperature to around freezing, then it becomes a matter of how long it lasts. An additional complication is that the band may end up rather narrow, where some locations really pile up fast and others are missing out. If in the heaviest, you won’t want to be out on the roads. It’s a good idea to plan to be home as it develops. Also keep in mind our forecast map does not capture localized areas of 6-plus inches that may occur under a persistent heavy band. Recent weather models suggest it could affect the Beltway area, but the exact placement is uncertain. Our next update will be between 4:30 and 5 p.m.

@masnRoch 6'5" 200. I think I'm detecting a type in the bullpen.

#orioles acquired RHP Jackson Kowar from Twins for cash considerations. Colin Selby goes to 60-day IL with right shoulder inflammation

@vzmercogliano Thanks for this detail, Vince, and great work on this story over the past week-ish. Surely other teams were willing to offer him the same contract...? It's pretty damn reasonable for a guy like AP.

An important point to clarify here: Panarin (more specifically, his agent) talked to several teams, including some into the final hours, in an effort to negotiate and decide where he wanted to go. He ultimately chose the Kings and told #NYR to make the trade with them, but there were other teams he considered right up until the end. LA's ability to extend him gave them an advantage over some of the others we reported in recent days.
Vince Z. Mercogliano@vzmercogliano

Ultimately, LA was the team Panarin picked and the only one he green-lighted the #NYR to make a deal with, according to a source. That's how most expected it would go. Greentree was ranked No. 134 on @coreypronman's recent U-23 list and the No. 1 LA prospect not yet in the NHL.

Just cancelled my @washingtonpost subscription after 25 years due to the elimination of sports content and other changes. I'll miss CWG but the Post no longer bears any resemblance to the critical institution I grew up reading. I encourage others to do the same.

@bitsdoer I think I'd read at some point that someone considered him NU's best defensive d-man.. so I kinda defaulted to using that for his role. But I know back in his USHL days he had good offensive skillsets too. Either way, appreciate the clarification.

@NHLFoley @turinn2 wouldn’t necessarily call him a defensive defenseman but I sure do like watching what him and Vinny Borgesi do when they share the ice. Hope Jo can convince Vinny to join him in DC after they missed out on older Ritzy

Joaquim Lemay isn’t going to be your top scorer… but he’s damn well having in the lineup! Great impacts, hard earned impacts. #ALLCAPS look smart and Lemay looks ready

@NHLFoley So, in the end, did the Caps looks smart on Lemay? ;) There's some chatter about whether or not he warrants an ELC after the season. Hard to gauge defensive d-men with the relative lack of public advanced stats (and TOI) in the NCAA.

@MerrittSmithCO @wyshynski The dumb thing is that the sources it cites don't make those claims. My exact Google search was "nhl players who played all 4 years in college" if anyone wanted to see the full bit with the sources.

@turinn2 @wyshynski Another miss is that UMASS didn't win the NCAAs in Makar's last year there. They were runner-up. I wonder where the AI is dredging this up?

When they say “6 7” they didn’t mean 67 in a 35 😅

@turinn2 We update it about weekly. Certain guys that are slide eligible but playing in the NHL don’t officially start counting as a contract until their 10th game. We’ll be doing a round of updates for that soon

@PuckPedia Out of curiosity, how often do you update players that are slide eligible? Specifically, whether or not they should be listed in contract counts right now based on where they're playing. Keep up the great site, thanks!
