It’ll be Martone and Beaudoin, not Iginla sitting tomorrow. Those three were all in blue but figured Tij was going to sit because he wasn’t getting PP reps.

As there was no Weekend Edition, I post this assessment of how things stand along with a link to a summary of a Goolsbee's comments at the recent Economic Outlook Symposium which put a lot of clarity to these charts for those of you who don't speak T/A. (a thread)

Based on line rushes today, I'd guess Tij Iginla and Porter Martone sit tomorrow against Sweden in the first pre-tournament game. Looks like scouts will get their McKenna-Stenberg matchup.

1/ Citadel got DeFi wrong. Today, DEF, @a16z, @DigitalChamber, @orca_so, @theblockprof, & @UniswapFND wrote to @SECGov in response to @citsecurities' letter misrepresenting how DeFi technology works. Why this group? Citadel blatantly miscited us, and we feel obligated to

Peek behind the scenes in Saginaw where #Gophers commit Levi Harper is playing this season. “Where some teams want just one Harper for their power-play role, he and Lazary wish they could have one on every pair and want offense from all six of their D.”

It was awesome having Scott with us earlier this year (3-0-0-0 with him btw). Great read as always about some of the philosophy behind this team and what makes it so special.

Junior hockey defending here, but Bryce Pickford (MTL) is on pace for 54 goals in 68 games as a defenseman. A defenseman hasn’t won CHL Player of the Year since Ryan Ellis 15 years ago, but I do wonder if he keeps it up…

Brady Martin (NSH) was delayed getting to Niagara due to weather yesterday in Sault Ste. Marie. He’s arriving today and may join practice late. He could be in line to skate with Bear and Luchanko.

I wonder if they’ve got Beaudoin as a placeholder for Misa and they’re imagining a Bear - Luchanko - Beaudoin line. D pairs are revealing of the early depth chart as well, I think. Carels ahead of Smith/Mackenzie and Danford ahead of Verhoeff.
