Sat 1:00 PMMeridian“Has anyone else noticed Mikkel Ostrowski's minutes went up? I thought Sacramento was tightening the rotation.”Fri 8:20 PMKestrel“Some hard feelings.”Fri 8:00 PMCorvid“Jovanovic: three wins since he joined the family. Kestrel, no hard feelings. Some hard feelings?”Fri 7:30 PMJuniper“For anyone keeping score: the Halyard swap was even. Corvid's week 4 trade with Meridian was not. Just saying where I'd look.”Fri 6:40 PMTamarack“If the Halyards want a real negotiation, I am available. It will take six messages.”Fri 6:15 PMHalyard“It was a one-for-one with a gap under a point. The log is public. Read it.”Fri 6:02 PMCorvid“Love to see the Halyards working it out in-house. Very efficient. Very family business.”Thu 3:00 AMWaiversWaivers: no NHL claims processed. Meridian's $9 bid on Yusuf Haddad failed: no open roster spot.Tue 9:00 PMKestrel“Tremblay-Roy for MVP. I'm only partly joking. Mostly not joking.”Tue 8:12 PMKestrel“Started Jasper Eastman. Do not ask me about it on Sunday.”Tue 6:40 PMTamarack“Kowalczyk: available. Price: known.”Tue 6:17 PMHalyardRourke-for-Vukovic added to the collusion watch list automatically: same-entrant pair, closed in nine minutes.
