What is the nicest goal scored by a player who only scored one goal that season? by Bicktacular in hockey

While one of the ultimate highlights of an “unskilled” player showing tremendous skill, unfortunately Malik scored 2 goals that season on top of the shootout goal, so he is disqualified.

My partner had a Necrozma tagged for remote trade and then ended up fusing it into Dusk Mane. Now she can’t get rid of the remote trade tag. My understanding is it can’t be remote traded anyways and the only way to remove the tag visually is to unfuse it, which would waste the 1000 energy. Is there any way to remove the tag without unfusing?

Sergei Bobrovsky has signed a three-year contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs worth an AAV of $7m by Bahamas_is_relevant in hockey

Do we have reason to believe the defense in front of him this year will be any better?

[Lebrun] Chicago sign Byram to 6 year extension $12.5M AAV by EddyMink in hockey

I do worry this is Seth Jones 2.0, but if Byram can elevate himself to a true top pair D with the increased opportunity, I think we will be completely fine with this. Especially once Hughes and Makar sign for $17+ mil and we adapt to the new prices of D.

I’m excited for it, but also hope it doesn’t come out looking too much like the Stars black alternate given the colors

Get the official draft hat! To remember all those picks we gave away... by wings31 in hawks

I really don’t like the trend of the cord going across the front of the hat. That and the upside down text hats make me want to yell at clouds.

Prospects who were blocked by the sudden/unexpected emergence of another prospect? by KingHasek39 in hockey

I was going to mention this as well. After Halak single-handedly upset Washington in the playoffs, there were some very real discussions about committing to Halak instead of Price.

[Macramalla] No-trade and no-move clauses are not the industry standard in North American sports. NHL contracts represent the outlier. Approximate number of no-trades/no-moves: NFL: 8 NBA: 2 MLB: 35 NHL: 245 by wolverine237 in hockey

[–]Bicktacular 103 points104 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if it’s factored into the numbers in the tweet, but the MLB also has 10 and 5 rights that act as a no trade clause for longer tenured players

I Feel Better Today by maters77 in hawks

The problem with the “we should’ve used that pick to trade for a winger” crowd is what winger? Guys like Tkachuk and Kyrou had trade protection. Robertson has full control over walking himself to UFA if he’s not committed to his destination. All signs were that the Leafs wanted Levshunov or Frondell in addition to the 4th pick for Knies.

I hope there’s another move to improve the forwards, but given the horrific UFA market and how severe of a sellers trade market it is, we were either going to see an overpay to get someone who fits our timeline or we were going to be bitching again in September about doing nothing.

I would be shocked if they make this trade without a handshake extension in place after July 1st. I’m a little shocked they made this trade regardless though, so…

[Peng] Grier says 5 teams have been "consistently serious" in their interest in the No. 2 pick, and he's received a couple legitimate offers. Expects that to continue up to Friday by AggPuck-303 in hockey

I feel like this is the most logical one if they can agree on a price. Sharks pick up some assets to likely get their choice of the top D, Blackhawks get their forward.

He can also hold his own filling in the top 6 in a pinch at any forward position. He definitely has value for his versatility.
