Ohhh yeah, baby! It’s Independence Day! ‘Merica, Baby!
Meanwhile, it’s still early in the Free Agency period. I doubt there will be any transactions today, since it is a national holiday – indeed, THE national holiday.
EDIT: I have just been informed that seven of the teams in the NHL are actually located in Canada – where they largely don’t give a crap about American holidays. Therefore there may actually be transactions occurring today. What a bunch of stupid pinkos! Therefore, we shall include the Free-Agency Trade table again. Needless to say, the people who misinformed me have been sacked!
EDIT: I have just been informed that Canada is a long time NATO member, and is really not particularly “pinko” at all. The people responsible for the sacking have been sacked.
This is so confusing. I need some fucking pie.
And please – don’t mess with my pie, or I will run you the eff through.
*MERICA*

Apparently, Markov is asking for multiple years at ~$6m
So I guess he’ll be bankrupting a KHL team very soon.
Hello folks.
Enjoy your celebrations today.
I am at work, but mostly flicking between Wimbledon and the Tour de France. I do enjoy the non-soccer season!
Also, some sort of gourmet fudge stand has appeared outside the building. I am going to gain a lot of weight today…
Good morning, pals!
Happy Fourth of July!
