I'm surprised he's still around. Kind of reminds me of JM Liles. For years I think he's retired post Leafs tenure and there he was with the Canes, still playing... up until 2016, if memory serves.

Yeah, because Liles wasn't the problem.

From the same article: In other Sabres news, defenceman Matt Hunwick has been recalled from his conditioning stint with the team's American Hockey League affiliate in Rochester, N.Y.

So this is a weird one coming out of Buffalo.

This article doesn't cover it, but Berglund's group missed the deadline for submitting his list of teams on his limited NTC, and was included in the O'Reilly trade as a result.

Auston Matthews said today that Mitch Marner insisted this shot against the Florida Panthers was meant to be a pass: "He said he was trying to shoot for a rebound to me. But it’s post and in, I don’t know what kind of rebound you’re trying to shoot for there." https://t.co/o07kjjxMzJ

I know it's all fun but I don't think Dermott is quite ready for the #2 slot.

Is he better or worse than the incumbent option? We don't even play our defense pairings in the traditional fashion.

Haha play Marincin and Holl

Marincin and Holl won't be able to take Hainsey's minutes and be effective.  I'm not opposed to trying it, mind you, but I doubt it'll be a successful, long term solution.

Further to this fun discussion: it's not necessarily Marincin or Holl directly replacing Hainsey:

Rielly - Dermott
Gardiner - Zaitsev
Marincin - Holl/Ozhiganov

Marincin can eat up Hainsey's PK minutes easily.

I know it's all fun but I don't think Dermott is quite ready for the #2 slot.
