I have no problem with this outcome. Embolo embellished with the intent of getting another player booked. It’s a yellow card for simulation — not sure what the controversy is here? Don’t dive
Thoughts and Grades on the Panarin Deal:
Grade: D+
Chris Drury backed himself into a corner, I’m not sure what the need was to release a letter and tell the whole league you have no interest in winning games. If Panarin tells you, it’s Kings or bust, and the Kings completely remove a 1st from the table. Why don’t you re-visit an extension for him, especially if it’s just 2 years?
You just hired Sullivan, signed Vlad to a big deal, you have Fox/Igor/JT/Zibs on unmovable deals. You went into the season with an intention to win, why not at least kick the bucket down the road and see if you can fix this team - move Schneider for assets/sign or trade for someone/draft someone in Top 10. Worse comes to worse, you revisit this next season. It would of been hard to get a lighter package for Panarin at any point
I’m all for a full rebuild but you need to act like that now… got to start moving pieces, if you are willing to take .50 on the dollar for Panarin, do it for everyone and get these forever contracts off the team
Now as far as the return goes, Liam Greentree is a solid prospect. Power forward winger with a big shot. Not a player driver or creator but can be a nice complimentary piece. 119 points in 64 games for Windsor in 24-25, started slow in 25-26 but 11 points in last 7 games. He’s a projected NHLer Middle 6, who’s already signed to a ELC. He scores goals
The 3rd Round Pick can potentially turn into a 2nd if LA wins a playoff series, pick will be in Top 100. So that’s an extra Top 100 pick, ideally this would be a conditional 2nd that can turn into a 1st but somehow couldn’t get that
It’s not a good return by Drury, it was bad process to eliminate an extension before seeing the potential return. But this needs to be the start of a full blown tear down. Also had to retain half, also the extension wasn’t much at all. He was in a corner due to NMC, but Panarin wanted to extend so… mixed emotions

@SleeperNHL Just wondering if there is there a plan to bring fantasy hockey to the sleeper app? Would love to move our dynasty league over to this platform!
Jalen Brunson is a generational playoff riser.
There is literally no one in the league I’d rather have with the ball in their hands and the game on the line.
Don’t take this for granted. What we’re watching is special.
The NFL has turned the Pro Bowl into a flag football game
NBA All Stars don't even break a sweat or play defense in their game
NHL players are throwing haymakers 3 seconds into the #4nations game and it looks like the Royal Rumble
