Wow the Summit is so desperate that they are going to take new start up western schools when conferences like the Big Sky want nothing to do with them. Heck maybe this will even get Northern Colorado to jump back to old NCC. Utah Valley starting D1 hockey could happen with the new hype the NHL is bringing to the metro. They could play at the practice rink in Provo or at the Maverick Center
They already play at Peaks in Provo, seats about half of what it did in the Olympics (took seats out for indoor soccer I believe). Maverick Center is 36 miles away.

If there was ever a more neurotic team that should meet their Carl Icahn moment it's TOR.
I used to think dump 16 and 44 but after the last few days I think it's dump 34 and 44.
Start at the top and get Shanahan out, his plan hasn’t remotely worked (I do enjoy Toronto fans hopes being dashed each year though
).
they have a new CEO/President of MLSE and the Steve dangle podcast showed the amount of AGMs they have. Get rid of all 5 of them and have one or two. One AGM who is the AHL GM and the other can do the player development that the other 3 do.
They need to break up the big 4/5 and add the right pieces and spend money smarter on players.

So is Vancouver tying a Vegas and using as many goalies as posable.

Maple Leaf fans: “Wait this is what it will take to fire Keefe?”
Maple Leaf players exit interviews: “We won’t play for Keefe.”
GM: “I’ll look into it.”
MLSE: “Ummm, you work for us so no.”

Wasn't there talk about Dane Jackson joining Hakstol in Seattle when he first got the job? If so, I bet Jackson is glad he didn't go that direction. If you last 5 years in the NHL it must seem like a lifetime.
Fun fact: Steve Peters interviewed for a position with Seattle after he was fired from the Coyotes.

That's the thing, no way was Seattle going to be able to do the same after every team saw the outcome the first time around. That's why I thought Seattle was doing the sensible thing by building draft capital and developing their young players. Guess we'll see if they have changed their philosophy and spend on high end offensive talent.
All he did was have cap space, then didn't use it like he said he would. Francis should have just said spend three years tanking to get top 3 picks.

Not everyone has guys on the LTIR like Vegas, though...
Or have a competent GM that fleeced everyone in the expansion draft.

I guess the lesson in all of this is not to overachieve in your first year as a franchise. Gerard Gallant gets the axe early on with Vegas after overachieving and so did the Kraken. I would think with the lack of finishing ability, the Kraken would wait until they get some high end talent, which I thought was why they didn't go head on into free agency, because they wanted to progress like most new franchises do. Very odd, but I have a feeling they have someone in mind they want to install.
When they hired DeBoer after Gallant I was like what is Vegas doing, do they not see that DeBoer sucks in the playoffs.
If Hak goes to the Sharks and gets them in the playoffs would be funny

He's scapegoating to save his own hide.
That only works for so long.
And if Tortorella can keep getting hired, then why not Hakstol?
Hak gets to the playoffs early, then fired because the team still needs the pieces.

If the Kraken don't improve after the coaching change, then Francis may be on the way out as well. Scapegoating only works for so long.
He made some head scratching decisions since he became the GM.

Dumb move, Francis should be shown the door also.
I don't think he'll get another NHL head coaching job, but Lindy Ruff ended up in Buffalo so who knows.

Not a former player, but a former coach, sounds like Hak is on the way out. Hopefully he finds his next spot quickly.
Dumb move but then again Buffalo Hired Lindy Ruff again because nostalgia.
Seattle are still 3 years away with how Francis is doing things.

Rumblings of Oshie retiring or going LTIR next year. Played with a broken hand

Oshie and the Caps get swept by the Rangers. Ovi without a single point. He looked tired tonight
They looked like they didn't want to be there, and a different team would have put in more of a fight. There was a video I was watching that said Ovi looks like he is only out there to get the goal record, and I have to agree. It like he just goes through the motions and he's just going to play until he breaks the record.

Construction of the Mosaic Iceplex in Tucson should start soon.https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6PPBCAypWA/?igsh=Y2wwMnpxN3FwcHBl
I was listening to PHNX and they talked about this with the whole Roadrunners moving to Mullett Arena. 2026 was the completion date but nothing has been started yet. Even the Wildcats player I talked to said they need $5 million to go D1. I hope this gets built but knowing the pettiness between Arizona and Arizona State i expect it to be bigger than Mullett Arena.
From what was talked about with the Roadrunners moving, the TCC doesn't want to not have hockey, and this gives the youth programs ice that they would have to drive to Chandler for.

Is he a relative of the Horcoff that used to play for Michigan State?
Sounded like there was a battle between Michigan and Michigan State for him. So I’m guessing he is.
