Clearly missing Chiarot was just too much for them

Chiarot of Tire Fire.

Neither Florida nor Calgary are as bad as they've started the season. Both have had legitimately very good key players shit the bed to start. Markstrom and Hubie in Calgary, Ekblad & Barkov in Florida.

Markstrom has a spotty enough track record tho.

And Ekblad was never very good prior to playing with weegar.

Not .890 spotty. If he was putting up a ~.910, I'd say nothing about him.

And Ekblad was never very good prior to playing with weegar.

Not caved in turrible though

 

[Habsy]

That's a suspension

 

[Habsy]

So the already reeling Panthers lose Barkov. Liking that first rounder.

I say the same shit at street hockey - why the fuck would a person go out of his way to injure someone like that.

It's not a fucking video game - the person has to live outside the rink, and in these guys' cases, perform while on it for their livelihood.

Such a shit thing to do.

Not sure if this was posted elsewhere, but a London Knight appears to have committed suicide yesterday jumping from his condo downtown.

London Knights player falls to death, LPS Major Crime Section investigating

The London Police Service (LPS) Major Crime Section is investigating after a man fell to his death from a downtown London, Ont. apartment building on Saturday morning. Hours later, CTV News London learned the deceased was London Knights forward Abakar Kazbekov.

I have no idea how Chiarot was ever worth a 1st to begin with.
Life is nice for a GM in Florida. Zito has been a disaster with that deadline+the offseason and it's fine.

We employ 2 members of that team now and they were recent additions. I think I have enough trust in Dubas not to bring in any of the players in question.

In this deep draft no less. Why would you offer an unprotected first in what many are calling the deepest draft since 2003?

Oh right, they thought they could significantly modify their team and that would be an improvement over a presidents cup winning roster. They figured picking in the 30 range?

So stupid and yes, Zito needs popped. He's awful.

Craig Smith on waivers for Boston. He's always been a nerdies darling with grit. Id be tempted

Expring, 3.1 million cap hit.

What would that do to our ability to add a big salary at the deadline though?

Muzz gives us all the space we need tbh. But if salary has to go out Kerf's caphit is still a freeby for any team that doesn't cost them any actual money at all.

I'm well beyond the point of ever expecting glasses to trade Kerfoot. At this point I'd be surprised if we didn't extend him.

 

[leafman101]

Smith is (was?) probably a good version of Jarnkrok, but I wouldn't waste the cap space.

 

[LeafGm]

I really hope there are better things we can do prior to the deadline with $3.1M in cap space than add Craig Smith.

 

[trujaysfan]

Wouldn't it just be easier to trade future considerations for him at 50%?. Team moving him get out of more cap hit than they would putting him in the minors
