Could be, but he's not there yet. Agreed that Binnington has yet to prove he can keep up his 2019 self.

If he’s playing in the NHL this year he’ll surpass him.

I actually think Binnington, along with Markstrom and MacKenzie Blackwood, has a big year. Losing Vince Dunn hurts (same with the Flames and Giordano), but I think he's still got enough D to excel, if he can regain his "old" form.

The only reason he was good before was because of that elite D core in 2019, after he lost Piet and JB he was lost. With the defence looking worse he’ll most likely decrease.

Question for all: Devon Toews is out for this start of the year, and he's on my fantasy team. My current defensemen are now Pietrangelo, Pionk, Justin Faulk (who I like a lot, he flew under the radar last year) and Parayko with the injured Toews on the bench. Do I cut Parayko and pick up one of the following defensemen-Vince Dunn, Bowen Byram, Matt Grzelcyk, Noah Dobson and Jamie Drysdale-or stay with what I have? (Not committing to switching based on what people answer, but would like to get a general opinion)

If you sent Sabres management on a coffee run they’d come back four hours later with exactly one sock because they lost the other one. https://t.co/f5C2jH9M0O

Not good news for the Habs: Paul Byron, Mike Hoffman and Carey Price all failed their physicals and all 3 are expected to be out for all of the pre-season.

We already knew Byron was out until like December, Price had an injury but should be back for regular season, so Hoffman is the only real surprise

Confirmed: Evegni Malkin will miss the first two months of the year, per Ron Hextall. I honestly believe the Pens will finish 7th in the Metro.

10 of 32 will require proof of vaccination only, 8 of 32 proof of vaccination or negative COVID test, 14 of 32 won't require any proof, 21 of 32 will make all fans wear masks. 2/2 @Sportsnet

Interesting, so all arenas at 100% except Vancouver and Montreal, and some cities won't require masks, ugh, great way to transmit it guys

There’s no shot Calgary and Edmonton operate at 100% to start with, Alberta is f*cked right now lmao

Jack Eichel is no longer captain of the Buffalo Sabres, said GM Kevyn Adams. Adams told Eichel and the team.
— Lance Lysowski (@LLysowski) September 23, 2021

Who's next

I hope they go captain-less for a few years, or just give it to randomoldguy.jpeg for a year or two because Cozens would realistically be the best choice of captain long term. If Eichel gets dealt there are some other good young leaders they good bring in (for example for the Monahan+Dube+Zary+1st deal, Dube would be a good captain too).

Probably will be in places where A) majority are vaccinated already, or B) Negative Covid tests/proof of vaccination is needed to enter, so no need

I'd still wear a mask in a 100% full arena even if i didn't have to, Arenas seem like a great way to create a superspreader

Stars staff and NHL roster are fully vaccinated, except Joel L’Esperance who is unvaccinated due to personal reasons. Jim Nill said the team supports his decision.
— Saad Yousuf (@SaadYousuf126) September 23, 2021

Proud to see almost all of our players vaccinated.

I assume Joel has medical reasons so we’re all good to go.

#NHL announces investigation into accusations #sjsharks forward Evander Kane bet on hockey has been completed and "found no evidence to support those allegations." pic.twitter.com/raNuTsqgER
— Frank Seravalli (@frank_seravalli) September 22, 2021

So basically the investigation about gambling is completed and Kane is cleared. Right as the investigation was about to end, another accusation comes out. Seems kind of fishy….and if the first accusation was wrong…and the second accusation is basically unprovable…come on now

1) cool, the Kachinas are here.

2) At this point, Phil should just shave his head. That hair is thin as hell.
