Major cheat code in life: Be the one who reaches out. Text first. Call first. Plan first. Initialize first. Most people wait to be chosen. Be the chooser. Connection requires initiative. Friendship requires effort. Love requires action. Stop waiting to be picked. Start picking. Initiative is attractive.
One of the best bits of advice I've ever gotten, that has consistently held true for the decade since I first heard it from @Mazzeo:
When you have bad or difficult news: call the person. Don't text, don't email. Call.
Or better yet, meet them in person.
Pangotta says TOR & MTL agreed to a Knies trade before the deadline. It did not get done because of "complications".
Would have been Zharkovsky, another prospect + two 1st rounders for Knies.
John Chayka, Mats Sundin, Tie Domi & Gary Roberts all reportedly could be involved in the Maple Leafs front office.
@Sid_Seixeiro has some thoughts.

Putting these in a hockey arena and anyone who yells “SHOOT” when the player has 5 defenders directly in front of them immediately has their seat eject straight up 30 feet in the air
Anyone who knows Brady also knows he and Robert Thomas are best friends. #1 even if Ottawa knows Brady doesn’t have intentions of resigning there, the price to get Brady Tkachuk out of Ottawa would be absolutely enormous. It seems premature with two years left on his deal but never say never. Also, I don’t consider the chances of Brady coming to St. Louis very high anyway, but there is zero chance Brady would come to St. Louis w/o Thomas being here.
