Link In The Notes

Representation station

• Mike Grier GM of the Sharks. Kevin Weekes breaks the news… in front of a shark tank. First black GM in NHL history. 


• Maple Leafs: Dr. Hayley Wickenheiser assistant GM. 


• Coachella Valley Firebirds (Kraken AHL affiliate): Jessica Campbell assistant coach. The Athletic has a whole article about her road to this job. 


• Devils: Kate Madigan assistant GM. 


• LA Kings: Manon Rheaume as Hockey Operations and Prospect Advisor. 

NHL draft

• Jack Hughes the second. Eventually got drafted 51st overall by the LA Kings. 


• NY Rangers: Brendan Othmann finally got that proper draft moment. Vegas: Artur Cholach, from Ukraine, also gets draft moment. 


• Morgan Geekie gets sassy on Twitter. 


• Prospect fell down the stairs after being drafted. Link is dead. 


• Cutter Gauthier drafted 5th overall to the Flyers - used to be a Crosby fan growing up. Can we still change our pick? 


• Stars pick Bichsel is a kitchen legend. 


• Frequently bought together, do not separate: Anaheim Ducks draft Tristan Luneau and Noah Warren. 


• Canucks complete their collection of Elias Petterssons. Twitter has fun with it. But the Petterssons have never met. Weird name stat! Don’t worry though, Petey 1.0 is having fun with it on social media. 


• Devils, come get your food! 


• Puff’s Juraj Slafkovsky segment: the Wingate damage. The Leafs Hat. He can cook - with a stove. 


• Draft prospects discuss hockey debates. 


• Isaac Howard best dressed sass. 


• Top draft picks in 2022 draft: baby pictures edition. 


• WHICH PROSPECTS WILL WE ADOPT?

Free agency

• Ryan McDonagh interview after being traded to the Preds… gets interrupted. 


• Connor Brown traded to free up his number… True or false? 


• Jaromir Jagr is still available. 


• The Canes do a very moving Twitter tribute. 


• Johnny Hockey to Columbus - to get over his fear of the cannon? Either way, where he goes Andrew Brown would like to follow. Don’t worry Andrew, Fox 28 Columbus has your back. 


• The city of Chicago did not like the DeBrincat trade. The Ottawa Senators REALLY DID. 


• OUR THOUGHTS on signings and trades. Iris hyped about Sens Girl Summer. Puff distraught about more years of EKane. 

Development camp

• Hi this is a Luke Prokop stan account. 


• Caps babies: OMG they were roommates. 


• Such a nice prospect, that Dumais guy. 

Social media

• Joel Farabee knows real champions. 


• Best schedule announcement ever award goes to: Dougie Hamilton and the corniest thing we’ve ever seen. 


• Evgeni Malkin is a troll. Doesn’t want to play against Kris Letang. 


• Samuel Girard is a troll who misses Tyson Jost. 


• Spicy pork in New York? Louis Domingue wants to know. 


• Mitch Marner: I heard David Kampf is shredded. 


• Jack Johnson cup day: let them eat… ice cream. 


• Ducks prospect Will Francis beat chemo. 


• Be careful what you say on social media. Someone’s family might be watching. 


• Who has money to print an NHL contract anyway? Jeremy Davies sure doesn’t. 

Weird stats

• David Perron only ever signed a contract with the Blues. 


• Rangers Ryans per season count.
