Yes, I know, but I thought I'd start the pestering a day early for 1st game of the season :wackysmile:

Yeah I dunno, I had high hopes for Alexeyev a few years ago, but Covid, and other issues kind of F'd up his development. The fact that Pitt signed him and then cut him tells me its not just the Caps, but it is too bad. He's a big rig and actually hits people (unfortunately sometimes in a bar in Clarendon) I believe he was a first round pick (31st overall in 2018, and there were 31 teams so....)
He could go play with Kuzy in KHL....i saw where nobody in NHL really wanted to take a shot on Kuzy this year and his former KHL team and he agreed to negate his 4 year deal after 1 year at the end of last season. Kuzy now signed a 1 year deal with another KHL team. I think he's working for beer money, but he has to run the zamboni after practices too. According to RMNB, the contract is 1 year 10million ruble (which is $123k US) NHL minimum is $775k, and his KHL contract from last year was ten times that amount.

So, in a nutshell, I guess we'll see if Lappy can replace Eller as 3c. Not really worried about the 4th line. Though, still not sure what's supposed to be special about Sourdif. Dudes another midget.

Anyone hear about or watch either of the last two Panthers vs Lightning pre-season games?
They played 10/2 and had 186 PIMs
played again 10/4 and had 322 PIMs
They had also played each other 9/30
Apparently by the 3rd game in a row vs each other they were quite chippy. I watched the 9min condensed replay, and of course...they did not show a single penalty or fight in the highlights ::)
