Grand Master Y will ride it out with Blashill...Hopefully there’s no contract extension offered after this season.

1. He's already on the back end of his career, this lowers his value 2. Glendening's cap hit is 1.8 mil. Dobbers predicts he'll make half that next season. 3. Yeah he doesn't produce any offense 6. Every team has one or multiple players in the same mold as Glendening, most of which are younger fresher and at a fraction of the cost. Glendening is not special and he's probably going to remain on the team cause no one will take him.

That is exactly what I was saying the team should do. 1. Age is irrelevant if he's still productive. 2. I wouldn't consider 1.5 mil this season as overpayment. 3. He is a grinder, not a scorer. 4. The team as a whole has a very poor +/-, and Glendening is mostly used in defensive roles with a poor defensive team and dman corp. Of course he's in the negative. 5. Way to gloss over the fact that he is 7th on the team in scoring and +/- this season and has the best +/- of anyone on the team who's played more than 13 games. Only 2 players on this team are positive players. 6. He is 10th in the entire NHL in faceoff wins and 23rd in FO win percentage. He's at or near the top of the league among RHers. 7.He will get more back in return than you think. I would disappointed if its only a 3rd or less.

It will be nice to get him back if traded. Send him to a contender for a 3rd (2nd in a perfect world! ) and re-sign him to a nice raise for helping us out with getting another pick!

1. Hardworking bottom 6 Grinder 2. Right handed shot 3. Good at faceoffs 4. Defensively sound 5. Proficient at wing or center 6. Great teammate and locker room presence 7. Highly productive veteran presence There are always a lot of bottom 6 guys available. But I think if you add up all of Glendening's skills, qualities, intangibles, etc...you will find he is much better player than most at that level.

No. He will get a bigger return than what most expect.

Re Mantha: I would like to see a coaching change and see what that can do for his play before we put him on the market. His value isn’t exactly on a all-time-high right now.

Glendening will be on the roster next season even if hes traded this season.

I thought our poweplay is our enforcer? Comparable players can be had on the cheap in FA. I'd moved virtually everyone on this team st this point.

Reminds of the neighborhood garage sale where set up all your stuff for sale only to put it back away later cuz no one wants ur crap.

Yzerman: Bergy:

Marc Bergevin canned both Claude Julien, and Kirk Muller this morning.

I had to look it up to see if it's the same Andrei Nazarov that once played in the NHL back in the 90s. It is. All I can say is that this guy is as unstable as they come. He was that way as an NHL goon, and he's continued to be that way as a coach. He's even attacked fans at a KHL game with a stick. Not surprised he's a Putin fan and would not put it past him to fabricate such a story against an outspoken political rival. Straight out of the KGB playbook. Even if it was true: 1. It was 10 years ago. 2. It was before Panarin even played in the NHL. 3. He was never tried or convicted for it. 4. It was a Latvian woman, which is basically the same as a man anyway.
