Don't confuse Sioux> with the facts Stoney. He's our version of LakesBison and DrunkHockeyGuy. He has an opinion on everything, usually negative and always unsupported by a factual or evidentiary basis.

Wow that’s kind of an honor to be held to such high accord as Lakes. I’ve finally made it to where people actually know who I am and actually read my posts!

I mean, everyone can have an opinion, but saying Blake didn't show up in the playoffs is pretty easily refuted with real stats lol.

Yeah I didn’t do any actual fact finding research to come to that misinformed opinion. I missed his assists in the frozen faceoff game. I didn’t even consider the Miami series as part of the playoffs. My feelings from the playoffs weren’t backed by facts. I just wished this team would have stepped up and tied it up to those Michigan goals.

Ditto, brother. Ditto.

The longer it takes, maybe the more likely he comes back? I would assume he wants a game or 2 this year, and if he doesn't get it, why not return?

Schlossman is so dialed in. I genuinely have no idea why he hasn't signed or what the holdup could be, but that shipped unfortunately has all but sailed.

Barring any unforeseen changes, that will happen by the end of the week.

An anonymous source has told me that Berg isn't signing, he is 100% coming back. On the subject of Whitelaw, he has some ability, but is not well-liked by teammates.

Thats too bad...I rather enjoy a good WhiteClaw.

How does someone tell you and stay anonymous?

They use back channels. I don't know the identity of this person either.

Unless something is official (from the player himself or Schloss), I wouldn't put 100% stock in it anyway. Blake was supposed to have signed with Carolina on Monday and we are still waiting for it to happen.

I'm a social media idiot, so I'm sincere here.   What is a back channel in modern social media setting?   Someone published to a person who then contacted you?  Again, I'm not questioning the accuracy of your statement--just wanting to understand the process.  Mostly because a shyt ton of the information we consume moves in manners similar to that.

Was this Berg's other friend that was with him at the bar that night ;) Just kidding. I've heard he's staying, too. I hope it's true.

Berg was drafted in summer 2021 (NYI).
If he stays, -22, -23, -24, -25, that's four seasons after being drafted; he'd be a rookie UFA. 

Berg kinda has NYI by the 'short and curlies' like Blake has CAR.

It would be a gut punch to lose either Blake or Berg. Losing both would really hurt. Like about two gut punches worth.

You hope that part of the payoff of getting a player who isn't a first-round draft pick is having him stay that extra year (or two)...whatever that means for a particular player.

While we await Blake and Berg, the staff had better be working the phones. 

Assume Swanson, Boisvert, and Croal incoming: There's still Emerson's slot to fill plus the outcome of the Blake and Berg decisions. Even if you assume in Littler (for Emerson) you could still have two slots!
