I have to imagine the Wings are trying to move one of their top 3 goalie prospects this offseason for immediate help.  Guimond, Pradel and Gylander all showed some promise last season too I thought.  It is a bit insane the goalie prospect depth they've built up, hope they can weaponize it.

I honestly can't get my head around this Chayka hire for the Leafs.  He must be very cheap and be quite a salesperson because he was absolutely awful in Arizona.  It also seems like most of the league hates his guts.

Steve Simmons is a moron too but this was hilarious:

Quote

When he was general manager of the Arizona Coyotes, there were so many computer terminals on the giant-sized desk of numbers guru John Chayka that it looked like he was trading commodities on Wall St.

What was appearance, though, and what was indeed reality were two very different things.

When Chayka was shown the door in Arizona in 2020, it was quickly determined that just one of the computer terminals on his massive desk was in working order — the other five, with data frozen on each screen, were nothing but show.

It’s an insane story. 🫣

And up until last week wasn’t Chayka managing 15 Wendy’s franchises, having been out of hockey for 6 years?

Edit: Yes. But it was 50 franchises.
