With the Tampa Bay Lightning playing the Vancouver Canucks tonight, the Canucks SBN site has a proposal for the two teams regarding a talented, young, winger that’s in need of a fresh start for a big defenseman in need of a new opportunity. The proposal is Nils Hoglander for Cal Foote, a trade I would do immediately. Is this something the Canucks would actually be willing to do? [Nucks Misconduct]
“While the fanbase seems eternally ready for a rebuild, a win-now mindset is still being prioritized by the new regime. That mentality has made this management group look nervous about making big changes. And although Nils Hoglander is in the AHL, he is a young asset that could be used to shake up the future outlook for this team.”
There were a couple of waiver acquisitions yesterday. Good luck with your guy, Rangers.
#NYR claim Jake Leschyshyn off waivers from Vegas, and Panthers claim Casey Fitzgerald from Sabres.

I wouldn’t pick up either one, myself, but Leschyshyn is quite possibly the worst skater in the league. pic.twitter.com/osqGt7npwn

It took me a moment to think of the right words, but it’s truly a privilege to be able to create art that celebrates Blackness and hockey.🖤
Here’s the explanation behind my design, to better understand the creative direction I went in 🫶🏾 https://t.co/K49RtNooyG pic.twitter.com/yiPLQerM6k

This is a very interesting thread on Russia and their future involvement in international hockey. It seems, especially on the Europe side, that a switch won’t be flipped to bring them back into the fold.
The biggest unknown is when Russian teams will be allowed to compete internationally again, and it’s not as soon as people might think. Even if Russia left Ukraine immediately, it may be years before teams are allowed to compete, due to hostility and anger, especially in Europe.
