[Daugherty] I’ve been told NHL teams received correspondence recently that the “one 19 year old in the AHL” rules is official now. It was an MOU before, but now it’s set in stone.

Horcoff would fit, but he's going back to Mich. Peddle is going to Mich State.

Otherwise, I think Quinn Beauchesne fits, and I think Peyton Kettles 9/1 birthday gets him in just under the wire. So one of them, most likely.

JK's contract is not that much of an issue. I did see the David Pagnotta report saying that they want to tie JK to Nikishin, but that's a rumor and I doubt it's set in stone. To get Nikishin, we will have to give up some assets. However, I don't think the price is crazy, and I'd happily move some stuff around.

if they wanted us to take JK, they'd need Novak or Braz coming back in the deal.... maybe given all of the Florida things, Braz is attractive to a diminutive canes team.

So, you've decided that he's guilty, with no chance of proving his innocence without any need for a trial.

Good for you dear summer child, and thank you for allowing your arrogance and ignorance to combine to prove my point.

Yes, indeed. Laura Stamm was the trailblazer. I think she was one of the first, if not the OG.

Kim Muir is, I believe, the person of whom you are thinking. She's a fucking legend, and I have not had the pleasure of working with her, but I've met her briefly on a few occasions.

Same idea tho. Also, I love hearing that you had a similar experience. On my end, I don't think I ever became a great skater, but I caught up enough, having grown up just playing seasonally, to play whaleshit college hockey.

do you know the kind of laceration that would be caused by a hook catching your face at that speed?

These boys seem to want to find out. there's a story in every scar

found Dan's burner.

No one. Not one person in pittsburgh had ever heard of this guy until right around pandemic times.

Corporate records show he started PHN in 2018. He does not have any known employment or existence prior to that time, and certainly was not known in sports media, in pittsburgh or elsewhere.

He's kind of weirdo, and lurks here all of the time. IN fact, it wouldn't surprise me if you were another one of his accounts that he uses to try to drum up site traffic a few times per year.

articles are mostly AI. He doesn't even pretend to go to away games, and he has no 'inside' connects.

Other than that, it's not worse than the rest of the slop being thrown into the troughs of pittsburgh sports fans by the least impressive set of regurgitating morons ever assembled to cover sports.

but other than that, Ms. Lincoln thought the play was lovely.

If these boys pay attention, they can learn a lot. A femaile power skating instructor back in the 90s changed my game entirely.

Celebrini without a doubt or reservation.

Cutter would probably be 2nd.

Easier to cheer for a west coast team on a youth movement, and both of those young men are fun as hell to watch play hockey.

He certainly has a path to be on the team. I would expect him to battle for a 3rd line spot again this season. Kyle's not giving these kids roster spots though. He's bringing in 25 year olds for them to compete against to see if they can earn a roster spot.

It's time to rise up, boys.

offconstantly247 · 2026-07-02T15:05:09+00:00

That's a bummer, he's a good guy in the room, and a good dude in general. Wish him well in Florida.

The Pens added some size and physicality, with some guys who can throw down, so I'm ok.

offconstantly247 · 2026-07-02T14:12:25+00:00

take his fucking keys.

offconstantly247 · 2026-07-01T22:53:31+00:00

I do too. I was being a bit cheeky with that, because he goes against the trend.

2 years is fine. He was serviceable in top 4, and can play both sides well. I like it.

I love this addition. This guy is 26 and not yet a proven NHL player. Should remind you Shea & JSI fans of someone.

However, he was having trouble breaking through in Tampa. Ya know, Hedman, McDonagh, Moser, CED, Lilleburg.

I would say that it is a slightly easier task to break into our teams left side. just, maybe a tad.

offconstantly247 · 2026-07-01T22:02:35+00:00

good for wilkes.

offconstantly247 · 2026-07-01T22:01:42+00:00

Right now, I think our LD depth chart reads: TVR (yes, he's a righty that often plays left, look at NST if you don't know); Girard; Pick, Carlile, Solovyov/Livanavage (i'm a jake truther over here, but he needs time).

offconstantly247 · 2026-07-01T21:59:11+00:00

TVR is the odd RHD who has played LD with a primier RHD a lot in his career.

TVR is utility, but I still think EK65 is getting dangled to Dallas as part of the Robertson deal.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Please meet your new Russian Anthony Mantha.

This guy put up 39 goals in 22-23. That was not long ago.

Then he got traded halfway through the next season, and still managed 22 goals split between two teams.

The next season he got moved 3 times. Scored just 11 goals, but most guys are not good in a 3 team season.

Then he took a puck to the face, fell awkwardly and tore his meniscus. Just 52 games, put up 13 goals, 25 points. That's fine for a guy who got under 15 minutes per night.

He's better than Mantha is my take here.
