What’s it like when an NHL player gets sent down?
From living in a hotel and eating out “every night,” to the 10x salary cut and the “weird dynamic” of competing with your teammates for a call-up, 11 players open up about the human experience:

Elias Pettersson donated $10K from the ASG to the Parkinson Society of BC and Minnesota in honour of Brock Boeser’s father
Boeser: "I was kind of shocked when I heard it on TV. It just shows the type of person he is and why he’s one of my best friends"

I know I'm beating a dead horse but it's still insane to me that you have Pettersson and Hughes at a combined roughly $2.5 million, Horvat, Miller and Boeser all under $6M and *this* is the capped out on-ice product

Looking back, it's crazy how much the Rick Nash trade is benefitting the Rangers today:
- Ryan Lindgren
- 2018 1st round pick (K'Andre Miller)
- Ryan Spooner (flipped for Ryan Strome)
That's a 2C and 2 top-4 D for a rental in Nash who only had 28 points in 60 GP at the deadline

There are five defencemen in the entire NHL making $8M+ (Karlsson, Doughty, Subban, OEL, Burns). Adding Tyler Myers to that list should be a fireable offence for whichever GM bites.

Calgary's recovered extremely well, but with the 30+ talent they have (and no U24 core pieces), Flames have a 2-3 year window before they run into trouble

Philip Danault played a combined 8:26 at 5-on-5 head-to-head against the Draisaitl or McDavid line.
EDM managed just 1 shot on goal in that sample -- Danault flexing his elite defensive chops once again.

Now they're re-signing Tanner Pearson, who has 11 points in 33 games at $3.25M.
This doesn't seem like ideal asset management to put it lightly
3 years. $3.25 mil aav for Tanner Pearson and the Canucks.

It’s unreal how much flak Brock Boeser gets for a U24 forward who’s scored at a 31 goal, 67 point pace in his NHL career. He may not turn into the 40-goal guy everyone thought he’d be after his rookie season, but he's not easily replaceable and dare I say underappreciated

John Tavares looks really slow. He's still a beast recovering pucks and making plays below the hashmarks in the o-zone, but he's been a non-factor in every other part of the ice. That contract looks like it could become a real problem

Betting long-term on Nate Schmidt (who's played RD) is better than the four-year deal it would have taken to retain Tanev. Schmidt's a high-end top-4 D and it only cost a 3rd.
I like this trade, even if there's a little risk at the tail end of his contract

There's nothing wrong with Elias Pettersson saying he wants to be in a winning environment sooner rather than later. The onus is just on the
