For starters my son Tristan wants to join and then we had a few more on here that were interested but I don't recall who 🤔 So maybe post a call letter and we can go from there...

Edit: I believe @epyon415 was one of them?

Yes plus tentative draft date was set for 10/02 at 3PM EST (I THINK) if that still works for everyone

1 WEEK FROM SUNDAY!!!
 
The Montreal Canadiens scooped up free-agent defenseman Sami Niku on a one-year, two-way deal Friday after the Winnipeg Jets placed him on unconditional waivers earlier this week for the purpose of terminating his contract.

The pact will pay Niku $750,000 in the NHL and $425,000 at the AHL level with a guaranteed salary of $475,000.

The decision to end the 24-year-old's time with Winnipeg was reportedly mutual. Niku was named the AHL's defenseman of the year in 2017-18, but he ultimately failed to make an impact with the Jets. He suited up for 54 NHL games over the course of four seasons and registered two goals and eight assists over that span.


The Jets selected him in the seventh round of the 2015 draft.

Ah, okay. I don't remember that but I haven't been around as much. I'll post something in the fantasy thread and gauge other interest. Next Sunday should be fine for me but if we're adding some new teams we'll see how we coordinate it all.
 
Another bit of exciting news is that Seattle and MeiGray have signed a contract which means they’ll be carrying game worn/team issued jerseys, so eventually I’ll get my hands on a MiC jersey 😁
 
The NHL is cracking down on cross-checking.

Officials will be more strict with regard to calling cross-checking penalties during the upcoming 2021-22 campaign, the league announced Friday.

Cross-checking will be enforced more commonly in three specific areas of the rink: along the boards, in front of the net, and in open ice.


The league posted a video illustrating examples of instances that'll be affected by Rule 59.


The level of cross-checking enforcement across the league has been under the microscope in recent years, but it was most notably a hot topic during the 2020 postseason.

The NHL's most recent penalty crackdown came on slashing infractions ahead of the 2017-18 campaign.

Shae is not playing this year. Crackdown handled.
 
Mike Hoffman might be unable to play for the first week-and-a-half of the regular season.

Montreal Canadiens head coach Dominique Ducharme said Saturday that the forward could be out for up to four weeks in total as a result of a lower-body injury, according to Sportsnet's Eric Engels.

On Thursday, Ducharme said Hoffman was hurt before coming to Montreal.


The 31-year-old winger signed a three-year contract carrying a $4.5-million cap hit in July.

If Hoffman misses the maximum of four weeks, he'd be out for Montreal's first five regular-season games. The Canadiens play their sixth of the campaign Oct. 23 against the Detroit Red Wings.

The veteran notched 17 goals and 19 assists over 52 contests with the St. Louis Blues last season. Before that, he played two campaigns with the Florida Panthers after spending his first seven with the Ottawa Senators.

Hoffman racked up a career-high 36 goals and 70 points with the Panthers in 2018-19. He's scored at least 26 goals five times and would've produced 27 on an 82-game pace in 2021.
