Karlsson is on pace for a 100 point season. When's the last time a D man did that?

No full update, but looks like Kyle Turris will travel on OTT's road trip. Begins tomorrow at NYR. Some good news, at least.

No break apparently, I read on Twitter, so maybe more like a month than several...I hope.

Melnyk in not gonna like Mike Hoffman when he realizes how much he's gonna make on his next contract. I'd guess it's at about 30 million right now, 25 if we're lucky - and it appears to trending up.

I fully agree. But I mean what's tgere not to like about this type of player. We've been waiting since the days of have at and Hossa fir these types of home grown players. You have to keep these guys and pay what you gave to to keep them. Melnyk said he'd pay when he would have to to keep players well the time is now. Hoff is amazing to watch.

He's awesome, he's an elite talent. How many gms are kicking themselves for passing on him on waivers.

He may yet get traded due to the budget.

stay tuned

Hoffman fills seats. Melnyk is a businessman. 2+2=4.

QED

Lack of defensive responsibility.

Dean Brown reported Turris walked onto the plane looking OK. Wow.

That looked AWFUL. How is he OK?
