It is with profound sadness that I announce that my cancer has returned.
I have been informed that the leukemia that I beat in 2017 has relapsed. I will be spending the next several days trying to find the inner strength that I need for another fight, and will have a more

Jeff Marek is the best host in hockey. And he's also a true kind soul. Throughout my two battles with cancer, he always took the time to shoot me private notes of encouragement.
If he indeed parted ways with Sportsnet, they lost a good one. And it is indeed their loss.

Oh, I was also told they have a 100% donor match for me. They are using a different donor this time. "A new army to fight" is the reasoning they used.

I would have Erik Karlsson on my team until June 30 2019. I would make public my offer of "max salary, max term, whatever NTC he wants" and leave it until then.

Tampa Bay got four points out of Tanner Jeannot in the season, zero in the playoffs and scratched him at the end.
Nashville got four points out of Cal Foote in the season, zero in the playoffs.
Nashville got Foote, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th for Jeannot.
Incredible.

My thought on this is - had the 30 GMs just let a player go, per the rules, Vegas would still suck to this day. Suffering would continue.
But instead, many GMs tried to game the system. Find loopholes. Strike deals. Protect guys.
Vegas played them like a fiddle. Good on them.
@DobberHockey
As a Leaf fan I will never be a Vegas fan because of the way the league made it so easy for them to be a contender right away. I guess it is the same for Seattle. Where is the pain? Remember when Washington came in? They paid their pain and got a cup. OK with that. Vegas did not.

Normally, yes. But I have to admit - my recovery is going very slowly and I find myself exhausted later in the day. So instead of working on it until 2am, I have to quit at 9pm. Plus the odd nap. It's been a tough go!

Quick thought on Vegas being exempt from the expansion draft - probably shouldn't be the case. It's four years later, assets have been built. They can seriously game the system here and load up on players who would be exposed by other teams via cheaper trades, etc.
