My other piece today…
The PWHL season is dropping the puck Friday night, but it’s not too early to predict who might take home the hardware at the end of the season🏒
My predictions @TheHockeyWriter#THW#PWHL

Mike Commodore on @JasonGregor's show:
“Mike Babcock’s not an idiot. Connor and Leon are going to get treated like gold. It’s the 3rd and 4th liners, the 5-7 defensemen, the rookies, the arena staff, it’s people like that who are going to be abused.”
Just the epitome of how this season has gone so far…
Pinango hits a leadoff triple.
Springer, Lukes, and Vladdy all strike out.
Consistency is dangerously lacking right now. Everyone needs to step up. #BlueJays50
With essentially a one-year McDavid window, the Oilers hiring a guy who hasn't coached an NHL game in 7 years and got fired from his last job before even stepping behind the bench would legitimately be one of the most insane management decisions of all time
Sources: The Edmtn Oilers are consulting with the NHLPA to see if there are objections that must be resolved before potentially hiring Mike Babcock. Amid allegations of invading players privacy, Babcock resigned in CBJ as Head Coach in 2023. Further investigation may be required.
Less than a month from free agency and Anders Lee will likely be available. Here why’s the #LetsGoOilers should consider signing him.

PWHL Detroit signs Daryl Watts to a record 4-year contract. This is Detroit's EFO signing.
Watts is the first player in franchise history. It's the first 4-year contract in PWHL history.
Someone needs to tell Okamoto he can challenge pitches. Guy has had countless chances this season, some of them at pretty critical moments.

The #LetsGoOilers have a decision to make with Quinn Hutson, and it’s coming soon.
I look at what the team could do going into next season in my latest @TheHockeyWriter#THW#NHL

We gotta stop with Jeff Hoffman in high-leverage situations. He can’t handle it. He was doing fine pitching the middle innings. Leave him there.
#BlueJays50
Regardless of opinion, he’s not going anywhere soon.🏒
My latest @TheHockeyWriter dives into why the #LetsGoOilers won’t be moving Darnell Nurse in the near future.

Another hiring…
PWHL Detroit has tapped Josh Sciba as their first head coach.
Sciba spent the last 2 seasons as an assistant coach with the New York Sirens.🏒
