Note: We are now in the quiet stretch of time which silence may be broken with news of a signing of the remaining RFAs (Vlardi, Barron, Stanley & Chisholm) as well as a potential free agent or two. We did learn courtesy of the NHLPA the arbitration dates scheduled for Gabe Vilari and Morgan Barron.
Note II: I will be chatting with “new” Moose forward CJ Suess today and our chat will be posted on here and on our Illegal Curve YouTube page.

When a fourth goalie magically appeared last week in Winnipeg there was some confusion as to why Noah Giesbrecht was suddenly in attendance when the previous days had been Winnipeg goalie prospects Logan Neaton, Thomas Milic and Dominic DiVincentis. Now we know the answer.

NHL.com: Dubois excited for opportunity to ‘fully be me’ with Kings. Obviously he never drove from River Heights to Transcona cause even in Winnipeg you can “drive 30 minutes and it feels like you’re completely in a different area”. Looks like the former Jets forward is on the ‘fix his reputation’ tour.
