Seems like you can do that before your problem leads you to do other things that cross the line. If you do something fireable while drunk, having a substance abuse problem doesn’t get you off the hook.

It doesn’t but I suspect there was time to deal with it between the healthy scratch and the waivers.
 
Habs sign goalie Sam Montembeault to a 3 year extension at $3.15 million AAV. They’ve used him, Jake Allen and Cayden Primeau this year for 9, 9 and 5 starts, respectively. Which do they move and for what?

You'd assume they'll try to move Allen. He has no upside and is the most expensive of the 3. It's not like they don't have Cap issues, so I'm sure they'd love to have that $3.whatever million off the books for next season.

$3.85 million cap, $4.4 million actual, with a $500k signing bonus (presumably) already paid. Next year is a $1 million signing bonus and $2.3 million salary. He has a 7 team NTC this year and a 3 team NTC next year.

Yeah, it's a little pricey for a guy who's not going to be anything other than average. But they can retain a little to shave a lot off that $3.85 cap hit.
 
The University of Delaware will upgrade their women’s hockey team to NCAA Division I. They play in ACHA Division 2 now. They’ll be the 45th NCAA Division I program, compared to 64 men’s teams.

They have 2 men’s teams, one each in ACHA Divisions 1 and 2 (which is where NC State, UNC, UNCW, etc. play).

The Wings already had 23 players on the roster so, to get Kane on the roster, they put Dylan Larkin on the “Active Non-roster“ list. That can only be used if a player is unavailable for reasons other than illness or injury. But he’s injured, with coach Derek Lalonde calling him “day to day“ on Tuesday. Larkin still counts against the cap but not against the 23 man roster.

Dylan Larkin has been missing from the Red Wings lineup because his wife suffered a miscarriage He’ll be back in the lineup tomorrow.

Wow, isn’t that type of injury that Dougie suffered a very long term thing? Torn pectoral sounds like a pretty serious deal.
 
The IIHF will mandate neck protection for the World Juniors and Men’s U18 championships. A final decision on the Men’s and Women’s World Championship still has to be made.
 
Habs place Alex Newhook on IR. He’ll miss 10-12 weeks with a high ankle sprain.

Depends on the specifics and there are a lot of variables. One thing's for sure ... the Devils' bad injury luck isn't going away.
 
At today’s NHL Board of Governor’s meeting, the league reaffirmed that the formula in the Memorandum of Understanding between the league and players is still on track and the salary cap will increase to about $87.675 million, an increase of $4.175 million.
 
That extra cap space is going to allow someone like Edmonton to offer Brady Skjei $8.5 million per in free agency....
 
Jacob Markstrom hits IR just in time for the Canes to hit Calgary. He has a fractured finger and is week to week. He’s at 2.94/.896 in 16 appearances this year. Dustin Wolf was recalled from AHL Calgary. He was a stud for them last year at 2.09/.932. But he hasn’t fared well in the NHL this year.

Dan Vladar is Markstrom’s backup, he’s at 3.20/.883 in 7 appearances.

I wonder what their save percentage is on shots that hit them in the crest.
 
The IIHF has mandated neck guards for all sanctioned competitions. A specific effective date is dependent on the supply availability. But that means they're required at both the senior World Championships and Olympics, both of which feature NHL players.
 
The Senators just shortened head coach DJ Smith’s leash considerably. They brought in noted bridge troll Jacques Martin as senior advisor to the coaching staff. His last head coaching job was with the Habs, where he was fired 32 games into the 2012-13 season. After that, he spent 5 seasons as an assistant in Pittsburgh and 1 with the Rangers in 2020-21.
