A tasty bit of someone else’s pain to start you off: > In 11 years at helm, this is the 5th time the Habs would have missed the playoffs, 3rd in a row and 4th in 5 years. While well-intentioned, the commitment to results and winning has fallen well short. It's too bad. Even my 6 year old son asked me why the Habs 'are always bad'.

I found that from one of those “who knows where this is clipped from” tweets that are all the rage (why are media companies laying people off and folding, it’s a mystery): > Lawrence Pilut's agent told the Sabres that he could look for a European deal and then the Sabres were surprised when he signed KHL contract lmfao [pic.twitter.com/lXqEor6lKw](https://t.co/lXqEor6lKw?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — J (@Account4hockey) [June 11, 2020](https://twitter.com/Account4hockey/status/1271226574344519684?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Okay, sorry, my mistake, they did film a little bit yesterday. > 👀 The boys are back in town[#LeafsForever](https://twitter.com/hashtag/LeafsForever?src=hash&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) [pic.twitter.com/E5RawZPpFt](https://t.co/E5RawZPpFt?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Toronto Maple Leafs (@MapleLeafs) [June 11, 2020](https://twitter.com/MapleLeafs/status/1271196842131365889?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Prospect stuff: > Hockey Canada announced the 46 players on Thursday that were to attend 🇨🇦 Canada’s National Men’s Summer Under-18 Team selection camp, as well as the coaching staff for the camp and the now-cancelled 2020 Hlinka Gretzky Cup: [https://t.co/qGG66UWmyY](https://t.co/qGG66UWmyY?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)[#TSNHockey](https://twitter.com/hashtag/TSNHockey?src=hash&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) [pic.twitter.com/x51HNr5QXl](https://t.co/x51HNr5QXl?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — TSN Hockey (@TSNHockey) [June 11, 2020](https://twitter.com/TSNHockey/status/1271186996736729090?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) The inevitable back-channel backlash (whole thread): > Just had one of the most upsetting phone calls of my entire life.

(Ours is better.) This is a thing I also missed, and I think it’s extremely dumb, wrong-headed and just plain asinine, the trades more than the other stuff, but the other stuff is dumb too: **10.** Teams that are out of the playoffs can make trades with each other. Another idea being discussed is whether or not those clubs will be able to buy out players or give qualifying offers later this month. That would be the normal window, but this world is anything but normal right now. And the really interesting bit of news is this: **18.** Speaking of the AHL, five NHL GMs (Kyle Dubas, Ken Holland, David Poile, Don Sweeney and Steve Yzerman) will be part of group working together to plan the AHL’s process for the 2020–21 season. Not just in who is really the power in the AHL (not the AHL), but also who Dubas will be hanging with on Zoom. Everything we’ve done is on the front page, and you know where that is, so, I’ll leave with a Happy Friday! Ask me nice and I might hint at who came first in T25 voting and give it all away.
