If he does go to market though, my money is on Seattle given the Francis connection.

So Rempe doesn't start and the Rangers lose game one and Laviolette has to deal with that pressure now also.

 

The easy answer is start Rempe and then if he creates conditions where you want Chytil instead you dress Chytil instead.

 

This team looks different when Rempe is playing.

Agreed. Rempe needs to play himself out of the lineup, and Chytil needs to play his way in.

Best part about this is it can also speak to the Rempe effect! Homer is Rempe. Peter is the entire Canes defense.

he's a unique weapon.  Lavi must use it.

 

 

 

 

on a side note: can you ban @BrooksBurner please?

Ban reason: insufficient fandom

i want to see fear in Skjei's eyes when he sees Rempe bearing down on him

I want to see pain in his face after the first time he gets trucked. Then next shift, I want to watch the Canes just give the puck up and not go into the corners at all.

Have to see if Rempe even plays…this is kind of an anti-Rempe matchup here.

It is, but given how much of a physical impact he had in the first series, how can you take him out right away? I have a feeling he plays until they lose.

Same as Cooper — anywhere but New Jersey. I don't care. Just don't go to the Devils.

What's the over/under on number of Canes defenders Rempe knocks out of this series — 1.5?

I think you're underestimating the Rangers. They're a great team, well-coached, and can play any kind of game the opponent throws at them. Going to be a battle and the Canes need to be sharp defensively because they're missing 2 NHL D-men, one of their best defensive forwards, and their goalie can get injured or lose confidence at any point based on how his career has went so far.

Quinn Hughes. For America.

Deleted?

Yup. Said he heard Rangers-Canes would kick off on Sunday.

This is great news. Specifically because it takes him off the table for the Devils.

Hear you both. I can see the argument for Tavares being "the" mistake in that he was the first, and a luxury. I still think their were multiple off ramps since that deal was signed, though, and the Leafs missed both.

Team mutinied.

All the talking heads have been saying that Utah plans to spend big. If TBL truly low balls Stamkos out the door, I could easily see them snapping him up.

Feels like he's about to request a trade and he wants someone friendly with the GM to broker it. 

Exactly.

The team's creative accounting was a constant source of concern around the league. There were incidents over the years of the Coyotes skimping on money. The Coyotes would try to stay at lesser hotels than the collective bargaining agreement stipulates. Ownership tried cutting corners when they could, like removing the printer and copying machine from the coaches' room.

Quote

Other sources indicated local businesses would come to the team seeking payments, would be offered a fraction of what was owed and then would be negotiated down to take less than what was actually owed.

Doan worked for the Coyotes after his retirement as chief hockey development officer but had higher aspirations, eventually seeking to become their president of hockey operations in 2023. According to a source, he was told he "wasn't ready" for the position, a verdict handed down by the owner's son Alex Meruelo Jr., the team's chief brand officer who had taken a more active interest in the hockey operations department.

 

Doan, the franchise's most iconic player, left to join the Toronto Maple Leafs' front office.
