The Sicatoka

Likely unpopular take: If I'm Mike Grier I shop that first overall pick. Generational talent? Maybe. I'm not sold. Background: SJS owes about $12M in buyouts or retained salary over the next two seasons. Offer me a high first (top seven), a couple thirds, a sixth and $10M cash and I'm in. Offer me a high first (top seven) and another from 25-50 overall and a fourth and $8M cash and I'm in. SJS needs bodies and cash more than a show pony. I'm ready; hack away.

A Vancouver kid and VAN has no lottery pick ... SEA at 6% ... that's the tin-foil-hat scenario followed closely by CHI getting Bedard then Celebrini. https://theathletic.com/live-blogs/nhl-draft-lottery-2024-live-updates/8EmP8LeUPj7p/

She made great skaters. Rare talent.

He's played over 60 games in the Q. https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/569299/kian-bell

I find that far-fetched.

Matt Rempe 2.0: the project.

This guy is a Brandon MB native who's played in the Brandon or Winkler system since 2014. Seems to like to stay close to home. But what is Acadia U that UND "stole" him from per Elite Prospects? https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/416924/dalton-andrew My guess: he's a project forward; likely the F14/15 this fall and see if he can develop. Guessing he has a hole in his game* that needs fixing at the NCAA level. And you can't teach 6'5" so there's that. *That's not an insult; when Mike Commodore got here he needed double-runner skates. But that got fixed.

Stonehill and Long Island wanted into Atlantic Hockey but Atlantic Hockey declines for now.

WPG would be an interesting landing spot for Hak.

ENG, 6-4 Canada

Emery plays a Pronger/Stevens type role for this team.

USA answers; 5-4 with 4:30 to play.

USA Connelly commits terrible major; Canada scores three on the power play. 5-3 Canada. Five to play.

The U18 gold game is on NHL Network. Lots of future collegians.

Simon and Garfunkle or Disturbed?

TOR44 is a liability; I’d start the house cleaning there. I’d shop TOR34 next.

Unfortunate. Just in case, Iron Chef America is battle: grill masters! US v Aussie. Either way it’s an adult Arnie: lemonade and sweet tea … vodka.

Samsonov not Woll?

They'll all deny, deny, deny.
