The talk today is that the Bruins might be shopping Marchand and/or Chara. Mendes is on the radio advocating going for Chara, even as far as a 1st round pick and a Puempel/Prince level asset.
Chara is 38, has this season and two more on his contract. Cap hits of $6.9M, $6.9M, $4M, real money remaining is $7M, $5M, $4M.
I'd take Chara of 3 years ago, but not now. No. Way. Jose.

I don't see that suspension sticking. The NHLPA will vigorously defend the member who deliberately injured another member. He might end up with half that.
If that happens, then the NHL should have the NHLPA sign a binding agreement that no current or future NHL players can sue the NHL over concussion related lawsuits. The players are part of the problem and refuse to take responsibility.

Zach Kassian has been entered in stage two of the NHL/NHLPA substance Abuse and behaviour wellness program (I've no idea what Stage two means). Part of this entry into treatment is a suspension without pay. I find the last past quite curious.
I don't know all the details, or what criteria they use to move someone past stage 1 and into stage 2 (voluntary admission or not I think is a big part) But in stage 2, along with the suspension without pay, the player is not eligible to return to playing until cleared by the doctors in the program.
Stage 1, they have conditions to adhere to, but can still play.

Holy crap the NHL grew a pair !! at least for today they did.
Torres suspended 41 games.
You know, that's unfortunate, a real damn shame isn't it.

Torres has made an amazing comeback to even be back on the ice after a serious knee injury and the Sharks were very happy or should I say DougWilson was that Torres was going to be back to contribute. This is how he pays back the Shark front office and himself. It was a frikkin exhibition game that doesn't count for anything and he does THAT!

He'll not get more than a few games -- I don't the NHL doesn't want to set a precedent of big suspensions, even for repeat offenders, after the circus that Deflategate became.

Sharks' Raffi Torres strikes again. He received a match penalty for an illegal hit to the head to Silfverberg.
Sharks coach Peter DeBoer called the play "unfortunate."
Torres is a repeat offender (suspended 4 times already). With the concussion related lawsuits against the NHL being in the news lately, it's time for the NHL to make an example out of Torres. Guys like this must pay the price for reckless plays.
If the NHL comes down hard on Torres, my reaction will be the the same as Peter DeBoer. "Oh... how unfortunate". Or a classic Seinfeld "That's s shame"

Just watched the lafs - Red Wings highlights. Wonder if Bab**** has realized yet what a terrible mistake he made. The money may be good but pretty sure his head will explode by end of season.

Since the Kings ultimately did not need to terminate Voynov's contract, the defenceman will remain property of the club, should he ever attempt to play in the NHL again in the future. In that case, if Voynov were somehow able to reside in the United States again, the NHL would also need to reinstate Voynov.
Probably wont happen, but still they are keeping him as an asset.
