Around the League 2019-2024 Edition

Anaheim may actually be worse than the Habs. Been gifted chance after chance and just let us tie them.
 
Pointed this out as a specific possibility during pre season when he was being written into the 1st line by everyone in the media without alarm bells going off.
 
Kind of funny that even if Caufield spends the rest of this season in the AHL, he won’t be eligible to win the Calder trophy next year.

Whereas 26 year-old Michael Bunting, who played 21 regular season games last year, is eligible to win the 2022 Calder trophy.
 
BTW, could that horrible press conference be the end of Betteman? I can only hope. This league desperately needs new vision.

Even crazier is the fact that the guy who finished 3rd last year in Calder voting (Alex Nedeljkovic) is eligible to win it this year because he only played 23 games in a covid-shortened season.
 



Bettman looks terrible in all this, and him and the NHL weren't even a part of the original issue. Not sure how you can fuck this up so bad. All they had to do was take Beach's side, and settle the lawsuit and its great PR of the league doing right by its players.

But I guess the owners like that Bettman takes all the heat.

You would think the other owners would be more than happy to feed the Hawks to the wolves and not be associated with them in any way, but, old boys whities and all that.

It’s because a lot of these owners have been around for a looooong time, and I’m sure they’re well aware they have a multitude of similar (and worse) skeletons just waiting to tumble out of their closets.

So, Bettman is probably under strict orders to make Westhead persona non grata, and to keep trying as hard as possible to sweep all this under the rug.
