SNES sign Anton Forsberg to a 1 year extension. I’m good with it, but how the rest of the goalies flesh out the spots in Ottawa/Belleville will be interesting. Has there been any word about if there will be a “taxi squad” next season?
I think it pretty much means they are planning to lose a goalie to the expansion draft.
Maybe by some miracle they take Murray and Forsberg is the veteran backup needed for the younger prospects. But likely one of Gus or Daccord is gone.
So
Murray
Forsberg
Gus/Daccord
Mandolese
Søgaard
Where does Hogballs fit into all this? Is he available to Seattle?

The new ESPN and TNT 🧨 contracts here in the US should be paying each of the 32 clubs appx. according to my math 19.5 million each season. I obviously could be wrong. There’s Rogers and their 5.2 Billion 12 year deal and I believe Ottawa has its own TSN contract. Hopefully this all means more and more money to spend on players. Only downside is Melnyk might actually make money and have no incentive to ever sell
Time to cash out once the Seattle money is in. Valuation of the the team only goes up with the new tv deal.
The streaming options with exclusive games split between the contracts and no NHLtv is going to be a PITA to figure out.

In light of Vancouver's scheduling problems, something like 19 games in 29 days, should the NHL cancel the 2 games they have against Ottawa as the results of those 2 games will have bearing on who makes the playoffs?
