Seven months between signing a UFA and paying a 1st to dump the contract. That’s the Stan Bowman we all know love.

I have a vivid memory of watching one of Myers' first games as a Rocket in 2005, because was standing next to Tyler Spurgeon, and there was a full two foot height disparity between them.

Those two have the makings of a very fun buddy cop comedy.

The Edmonton Oilers are so stupid (complimentary)

Oh hell yeah, all my Categories league fantasy hockey managers know Rantanen is elite. Gets you all those PIMs that you usually need to waste on some plug defenseman.

We were close - from PuckPedia:

After putting Janmark on LTIR today, Oilers then send Howard to minors tomorrow. That gave them $2.4M space available, & after acquiring Murphy @ $2.2M, they now have $200K of cap space remaining in LTIR with 21 active players (12F/7D/2G) + Janmark LTIR

As always, the best answer is move Nurse to left wing.

My cap compliance chops are a little rusty, but I think a combination of putting Janmark's $1.4M on LTIR and the $1M they save burying Mangiapagne in the AHL could cover it.

Not official but Spec is reporting on the other site it’s for a 2nd and half salary retained.

Fine with, maybe even happy with, the Connor Murphy trade. He's got the best xGF% on a bad Hawks team, he'll push Emberson down the depth chart, and a 2nd for an RHD with money retained is a reasonable price.

Wildly funny that at the same time Pierre Trudeau's son is dating an American pop icon, Brian Mulroney's son is involved in a plane-based scandal.

I think the biggest surprise about this is I just assumed Mangiapane had a no move clause.

Canada’s immediate support for the Iran attack, and the surprise with which I think many are responding to it, is kind of a reminder that despite our Prime Minister’s oratory prowess, the philosophy behind our foreign policy is still rather hard to pinpoint.

Nah, he very easily could have matched Holloway. Broberg's OS gave pause, but lots of us at the time saying keeping Holloway was a no-brainer.

Extremely funny that Stan Bowman declined to match Holloway's $2.29Mx2 offer sheet, but decided Frederic needs $3.85Mx8 and Mangiapagne needs $3.6Mx2.

in 2025-26
Holloway: 11G 10A in 35 games
Frederic: 2G 1A in 56 games
Mangiapagne: 7G 7A in 51 games
