Two or three times per year, the dumbest people in North America log on to the internet to tell the world that they do not understand the difference between "innocent" and "not guilty.".

Gabe Vilardi is a fantastic player but I will always remember that, when he got drafted, the NBC broadcast said his player comparable was Jaromir Jagr.
Gabriel Vilardi, signed 6x$7.5M by WPG, is a scorer who despite being very slow, not physical, not a good passer, not active with the puck, and frequently injured, puts the puck in the net extremely efficiently, forechecks well, and draws way more penalties than he takes.

If NYR are still looking to upgrade the top-six (they should) then Chinakhov would make a lot of sense. One of the few players out there whom they could fit under the cap without heavy lifting.
Yegor Chinakhov:. I had some misunderstandings with the coach during the season. Now I would be glad to have a trade. I would like to move to a different location. Will I return to Russia? As long as I can play in the NHL, I will keep developing here @BlueJacketsNHL

No disrespect to Jacob Trouba but, when Anaheim visits MSG, I really hope NYR give Kreider a separate, lengthy welcome back.

Dubas has done a really good job of draft pick arbitrage but I just don't see how it will be enough for Pittsburgh to exit the rebuild stage prior to Crosby's retirement.
The Penguins have acquired goaltender Arturs Silovs from the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for forward Chase Stillman and a 2027 fourth-round pick. Details:

My intuition is that Ryan will be a very good coach.
Providence Bruins announce hiring of 34-year-old Ryan Bourque as new assistant coach. Son of all-time great Ray Bourque replaces Matt Thomas, new head coach at RIT, on P-Bruins staff.

The New York Rangers have signed 29-year-old defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov to a seven-year contract with a $7 million annual cap hit. The top defenseman available is off the board and heading to...

I think he did some good things and, even if certain decisions don't work out, the methodology is logical. They are also still nowhere close to matching the top teams in the East, have very little cap space to work with, and their top-3 centers are 32 years old.
How would you grade NYR And Drury's off-season?. I know he's had a lot of haters over the past year so I'm curious.

I really like Taylor Raddysh’s game but NYR have a lot of fourth line wing options and limited cap space. Confusing fit.
The #NYR signed 27 y/o F Taylor Raddysh to 2 year $1.5M Cap Hit Deal. 27P in 80GP. 1st on signing @glovesavegaming . Rep'd by Dave Gagner @wassermanhockey .

Trade Grades: there are valid reason to agree or disagree with NYR’s decisions today. But for the first time we actually see what Chris Drury’s vision is. Plus, the Hurricanes bet on upside.

If we're working with the premise that Martin Necas was an expiring asset, the Hurricanes turning him and Jack Drury into Miller and Logan Stankovan is pretty damn good maneuvering by Eric Tulsky.

My analysis of the Miller trade will publish soon. One aspect that makes more sense now is the departure of Zac Jones. Aside from doing him a favor, NYR had a replacement in mind. Morrow is very similar but offers maybe a little more certainty.

😏.
Educated speculation but I wonder if Scott Morrow is headed to NYR in the Miller trade. Carolina has a surplus of defense and he struggled to find a full-time job with the hurricanes. Hockey East product and would address NYR's need for a puck-moving defenseman.
