Price traded to SJS for 5th round pick. Sharks also send a no name AHL defenseman back to Montreal. Like Metalhead predicted the return was very minimal.
Welcome. You have the same morning routine as me. I hope you post often.
I have been around for 16 or 17 years, but really just read. I will try and post more often.
I don’t know if it happened to anyone else, but i couldn’t register here, and just figured out a week later that the email to create a password was going to my Spam folder. All good now, just have to figure out how to do my profile
Edit: Actually figured it out.
Great to see guys trickling in. Glad you signed up and are posting, VBear. ..Is that the real BB from HB posting?….. This joint is starting to shape up.
Me too, the email from HHS went to my spam. Took me a month to figure out.
Forget everything I posted above. A kid will now be able to play AHL in his draft +2 yr, not his draft +1 yr. The rule is made for guys like KK who were not good enough for the NHL his draft +2 yr but too good for jrs.

Anyone read about the new CBA rule starting this season where teams will be allotted one spot in the AHL for a 19-year-old? Assuming the Hawks choices are essentially Vanacker or Spellacy if they decide to move one or the other up to AHL as they’re the only prospects that have signed their ELC that’d be worthy of the spot. Thoughts?
If it’s me, I’d move Spellacy up to AHL. Not sure how much more he’ll learn in the OHL and his ceiling/floor are a lot lower than Vanacker. I’d keep Vanacker in Brantford so he can get a full season of being the man with Lardis and O’Brien moving on and so he gets in a healthy season to gain confidence prior to moving up to AHL. He’s destined to be a crowd favorite when he hits the show but for now, let’s develop him properly.
18 year olds are still screwed or if they turn 19 during the season it’s ok?
A kid is drafted at 18 and after that he can only have 2 yrs of jrs eligibility left. So, no matter your exact age the very next yr after being drafted you’re considered 19 even if you still haven’t turned 19 to start the season and the following yr you’re considered 20.
So, just go by that and not exactly how old they are Any kid drafted, no matter his age at the time, will be eligible the very next season for the AHL under the new CBA.

I had the exact same issue with it going to my Gmail Spam folder. I hope the admin of the site realizes this might be making the process more difficult for people. I know there can be some modifications to email settings to help prevent it being marked as SPAM.
Hi Everyone, great to see the old squad from HB assembling here. Reading through the posts on HB and now here is my routine start of the day with a coffee. Look forward to the discussions, banter, and insights!!!
Same. I can’t wait for the season to start and the conversations to really get going. 🙂
Wondering if Kyle enters the chat for Carey Price’s contract. Brossoit for Price + 2026 conditional pick perhaps? Habs are currently $4.8 million over the cap. Swapping Price for Brossoit would get the Habs $3 mil under the cap so they’d still have room to play with down the line. Also nets them a solid goalie if he returns to playing in 25-26. For Hawks, they get something in return for Brossoit and let their problem become the Habs’ problem while absorbing Price’s contract.
I think it’s a definite possibility and a creative take. I’m super curious what is going on with Brossoit and if he will play again.
