Yep, this. It would've been nice to have Burns back at that salary and only 10-15 minutes a night until the playoffs, but there was no way hell Brindy wasn't going to run him into the ground again.
If Burns is still putting in 20 minutes a game, I don't care how great of condition he's in, he will still be struggling in Denver. At 40 years old, the altitude will take its toll as the season progresses.
Very smart signing by the Avs. Take a guy that looked like he was skating in wet cement in a location that was close to sea level and sign him to a 7 figure contract a mile up from sea level. Galaxy brain thinking.
We were going to have to overpay to get anyone of quality here whether via free agency or a trade. This is an over payment, yes, but not by much, especially if Morrow can never get a solid game going at this level. I was really high on him until this year's playoffs. He looked very much...
I lay a lot of the Rangers' 2024/2025 season's woes at the feet of the coaching staff, especially Lavy's. That dude should've been shown the door no later than December, but the front office blamed everyone but the head coach.
Congrats to all gamblers that put money down on the Kings winning the West next season. RIP to all gamblers that put money down on the Kings winning the Cup next season.

Victor Wembanyama is not only the future best player in the NBA, but he can also bend it like Beckham. Lord, what a freak! LOL

Our friend, Coach Ryan of Hot Garbage Sports, teaches us everything we need to know about faceoffs. I never played organized hockey* so I didn't really know any of this.

*in Northern Michigan in the '70s/'80s, organized hockey was a rich kids sport...
My favorite part of the draft is when the kid had to stand in front of a wall-sized iPad and look like a kid fresh out of Wake Tech during his very first job interview he's ever done.
