Right, I’ve seen enough. PLAY CHELSEA DAGGER.

This is kind of a shot in the dark but I’ll ask anyways. My grandpa is on the left here, and Bobby Orr is beside him. The picture was taken in roughly 1983/84 during some event in Alberta. Does anybody know anything regarding whatever event this was? Just curious about what was going on here. Any ideas are welcome. Thank you

Steve Scebelo gets paid to promote NHL players to the masses, and even he admits the league has a problem.

“When you go into any sports bar, you have sports fans, and they can't tell you who the top hockey players are,” said Scebelo, the chief commercial officer of the NHL Players’ Association. “We need to change that.”

The Blue Jackets, Blues, Hurricanes and Wild are turning to the NHL’s newly created centralized production arm for their local telecasts beginning in 2026-27 following the closure of the Main Street Sports Group-operated regional networks that previously carried their games. Additional teams could join before the start of the season, with the Ducks a potential candidate after informing local streaming partner Victory+ of their intent to terminate the relationship.

Hey Everyone

I have a random ? What happens to a player signed by an NHL team but plays for an echl league when the affiliate changes

For ex

Colorado signs:

Sage Weinstein - ECHL Utah Grizzlies / Colorado Eagles

Now Colorado has. A new ECHL affiliate: New Mexico Goatheads

Does his rights transfer to the new echl or how does that work?

Now that this type of data exists , should it be something that is takin into consideration when making the schedule ?

Should a first place team get rewarded and have the easiest schedule ? Or the hardest schedule ?

Is this data skewed by only 1-2 games and really it’s not that important.

Is it solely based on who’s in what division?

Hey Everyone

New NHL follower. I have a few random questions about arbitration.

In a nutshell how does arbitration work?

Ex.

Jason Robertson says Leo Carlson signed for 18 million I want 18 million. Dallas Stars come back with 8 million. They meet for arbitration and let's say arbitration says in the middle of 13 million

Once the mediator has determined the price are neither or both sides required to sign?

Can Dallas Stars say that's still too rich for our blood counter offer with their final offer of 10 million or is it 13m or nothing?

Can robo say no I want 16 million.

Can either side just walk away? If so are they a free agent or are they still an RFA?

The ducks entered the offseason with many free agents and after getting rid of half their core McTavish, Gudas, and Trouba now they have to pay Leo Carlsson a 18 mil kings ransom and now risk losing Cutter Gauthier if they don’t pay him a kings ransom too. I think they screwed up.
