There are rumours he did something not good at the draft. Made ppl feel very uncomfortable, there are also rumours Amazon has scooped him up cuz they gonna get the next nhl contract. Actually a few games this season will be on Amazon also.

How is TOR not like 20 over?

Because only 4 guys are getting paid there 

Oilers decline to match the offer for Broberg and Holloway.  

Thought they would have matched at least one of them after trading Ceci yesterday.  That trade gave them the cap space (assuming they put Kane on LTIR) to match both.  Maybe they want that money to extend Leon?

 

Hopefully untrue but there's a rumour that  Johnny Gaudreau and another killed while riding bikes. CBJ or JG have yet to respond.

I saw the posts on X. The hockey reporter who posted that out of respect to the Gaudreau family should have waited until the story is confirmed. 

Sisters wedding tomorrow apparently so hopefully not true.  You’d think by now tho someone would confirm it’s not true. So makes me think it is. Him and his brother apparently.

RIP to both Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau. Hasn’t been confirmed but reality is if it wasn’t them, it would have been debunked by now. Feel like gonna hear confirmation in the morning.

Tragic really. Eerily similar to Kobe. Not the same way of dying but the whole waiting hours to find out it’s true. Can pray it’s not true but…

It's now been confirmed. Sad news.

By a suspected drunk driver. Ffs.

So sorry to hear about Johnny Hockey and his brother 😢 Condolences to their family …

What a terrible tragedy for that family.  I can’t even imagine.

Apparently he wasn’t drunk. It was just dark and very rainy. He apparently stuck around and didn’t flee the scene

I see on sportsnet it does say suspected that the driver was under the influence. What a ******.
