2025-26 NHL Miscellaneous Thread

The NHL has promoted a referee and linesman to full time NHL status. Jordan Samuels-Thomas was promoted to full time referee and Ryan Jackson to full time linesman. Jackson’s father Dave is ABCs rules expert.
Linesman Derek Nansen retired as did referee Ghislain who moved to the German Elite League. Hebert worked more than 1,000 regular season games but never worked the playoffs. Good riddance.

Alex Pietrangelo might not be done. He was thought to miss the entire season but said yesterday that he’s not ruling out a return. That has major contradictions for Vegas. If he misses the entire season and goes on LTIR, they can use his entire $8.8 million cap hit. But if he can return, they can only use $3.8 million of it.

I saw this somewhere else, but liked it so much, I had to share. Wasn't sure where to put this, but here goes;
I've been missing hockey so much that I drove out to the zoo, just to boo the penguins.

Did they just do that today? I could have sworn I saw something about this last week.
Checks ... and yes. Formally placed on waivers today. I guess the report I saw earlier was that they intended to put him on waivers, or agreed that they would do so. But yeah, probably good for him to get a fresh start somewhere else. He's capable of being a very good goalie when he's physically and mentally healthy.

Looks like Barkov might have sustained a fairly serious leg injury in Floridas first “full” practice today. He was helped off the ice. Maurice said they’d know more tomorrow

Panthers' Barkov helped off ice after injuring leg

Jamie Benn had surgery to repair a collapsed lung, suffered in the Stars game against the Wild on Tuesday. He had signed a 1 year contract with a $1 million base with $500,000 in bonuses for reaching 20, 30, 50 and 60 games played. That essentially rules him out for all of October, a mint that Dallas plays 11 games. Depending on how he recovers, getting to 60 might be a stretch.
Leafs goalie Joseph Woll has taken a leave of absence for personal reasons and there is no timeline for his return. They signed James Reiner to a PTO. I wonder if they put in a claim for Ingram?

Maple Leafs Reportedly Pondering Big Decision Relating to Joseph Woll Situation

Well, they should probably do something. Stolarz ain't exactly been a picture of health and Reimer, while game, is officially ancient. Otherwise they have Dennis Hildeby who kind of sucked in spot duty last year and a couple of Russian guys who were meh to bad in the AHL. I'd think Ingram would be a nice 2/3 option.

What a blow to the Panthers, saw a clip of the injury, looked ugly and gruesome the way his knee folded back.
