What’s it like when an NHL player gets sent down?
From living in a hotel and eating out “every night,” to the 10x salary cut and the “weird dynamic” of competing with your teammates for a call-up, 11 players open up about the human experience:

Scoring in the 2nd period during the Stanley Cup Final:
Games 1-4: VGK 9, CAR 1
Games 5-6: CAR 3, VGK 0
The @Canes told me they were making an effort to cut down on the Vegas stretch passes that killed them in the first 4 games. That was clear in Game 6.

Years ago in Florida we did lot of interviews for an AHL head coach opening.
One candidate from the ECHL stood out to our younger AGMs & Analytics team for his innovative & progressive approach.
He was our #1 choice. He was going places.
It was Rich Seeley.

Canucks just named Richard Seeley assistant GM and GM of the Abbotsford Canucks. Seeley ran the Ontario Reign in the AHL for the last eight years.

NEW: Will the Red Wings get aggressive to try and stay competitive in the wake of Dylan Larkin's trade request? Or take a step back and embrace a deeper re-tool? And what if Yzerman holds firm and lets this drag out?
All of that explored, here:

Alex Tuch is very good. But is he great enough to warrant a $10 million deal in free agency?
A deep dive into his current value and trajectory on a long term deal.

Daren is one of the smartest people I know in hockey and this is a smart, smart hire by the Canucks.
One unique role I’d expect he plays in this position: Helping kids navigate the decisions they have to make. Teams should have a dedicated person who helps players make tailored choices on next steps factoring in level, role, coach, opportunity, etc. A liaison with the team for agents, families and players with a feel for lower levels and what’s out there.

General Manager Ryan Johnson announced today that the #Canucks have named Daren Hermiston Director of Player Personnel and Player Development.
