Welcome to the middle of July, when a badly translated article written by someone who probably doesn’t have a good grasp of how the league works can send all of twitter into a frenzy.

Oh wait it’s Saturday, I’m supposed to talk about the NHL.

Umm.... yeah there’s almost less going on with men’s hockey than there is with women’s, which is a feat. [Arbitration dates are coming up,](https://www.nhl.com/news/30-nhl-players-file-for-salary-arbitration/c-290306750?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) which means RFAs are getting signed everywhere you look, but the Leafs haven’t got anyone scheduled for arbitration this year. We’re all just waiting on Connor Brown to hurry up and sign a contract so everyone can hate him for being overpaid and talk about how terrible the front office is as if it’s 2013.
