what a shit show i was happy when we replaced our trainers cause players been coming back and getting reinjured at an alarming rate last couple seasons but seems there might be more to those replacements

The two longtime Philadelphia Flyers athletic trainers who filed a lawsuit against team ownership in April after receiving similar medical diagnoses they allege came from unknowing exposure to cancer-causing carcinogens at the Flyers training facility, amended their complaint Tuesday to accuse Comcast Spectacor of intentionally punishing one of them, including through verbal abuse from head coach John Tortorella, according to court documents, obtained by Crossing Broad.

McCrossin developed the rare medical conditions essential thrombocythemia, myeloproliferative neoplasm, and the blood cancer myelofibrosis, which is terminal.
Raffa developed thrombocythemia, which is incurable and is proliferative for other blood diseases, such as cancer, or inducing strokes.

After exhaustive research, the pair allege the contraction of these diseases was the result of excessive exposure to cancer-causing carcinogens that are emitted from Zambonis, used to cut and clean the ice surface at the Flyers practice facility, and the result of the training room, where they have worked for the past two decades, butting up against the Zamboni room where these carcinogenic chemicals were potentially ingested extensively due to inappropriate ventilation or through a shared drainage system.

[Wyshynski] Bettman: If escrow balance is paid off this season, cap could jump $4 million for 2023-24. If not paid off, it will increase by $1 million.

If that's their starting point that makes sense, but Horvat is a tier below Couts as a player and should be paid according to that.

There was also a report that the Canucks opening offer started with the 5, so perhaps they meet in the middle at around 6.75

Average defense + 2nd liner offense should not get you 7+M

Agreed, he's basically just a pure goal scorer that can win you faceoffs. No way they should lock him up for 7+m though


Canucks Bo Horvat has 18 goals in his last 23 games, dating back to March 9th. His 0.78 goals per game in that time ranks 1st in the NHL.
