Fast forward two years later, and one of the players acquired by the Penguins in that trade has signed with a different organization.
On Tuesday, forward Dillon Hamaliuk signed with the Fort Wayne Komets, which is the ECHL affiliate of the Edmonton Oilers. During the 2024-25 season, the 24-year-old Hamaliuk suited up for both Nove Zamky Mikron HC in Slovakia and the Florida Everblades of the ECHL - affiliate of the St. Louis Blues - totaling eight goals, 17 points, and 44 penalty minutes in 42 total games.
Hamaliuk (24) was drafted by the @SanJoseSharks in the second round, 55th overall, in the 2019 NHL draft.
Drafted 55th overall by the Sharks in 2019, the 6-foot-4, 205-pound forward spent the 2023-24 season in the Penguins' organization. In 35 games with the Wheeling Nailers - Pittsburgh's ECHL affiliate - he registered 15 goals and 39 points, and he put up one point in eight AHL games with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.
Hamaliuk won a WHL championship with the Seattle Thunderbirds in 2017.
Things move fast in the NHL. A few years ago, it looked like Christian Jaros might carve out a long-term role on the Ottawa Senators’ blue line. The 6-foot-3, 224-pound defenseman had the size and mobility, and he was a coveted right shot to boot.
Back in 2015, when Ottawa selected him in the fifth round (139th overall), there was optimism that he might grow into a reliable NHL contributor. That same draft, the Senators had picked Thomas Chabot 18th overall.
At their first development camp together, they had chemistry right away. From this vantage point, the two looked for all the world like a natural pairing for the future. Jaros seemed like he might be the future Marc Methot to Chabot's Erik Karlsson.
While Chabot returned to Quebec Junior for a couple of years, Jaros took the development path through Sweden before joining the Belleville Senators. By the 2018–19 season, right after Karlsson was shipped to San Jose, Jaros looked like he was turning the corner, suiting up for 61 games with Ottawa and putting up 10 points.
But things quickly went off track. The following year, the arrival of Ron Hainsey, Nikita Zaitsev, and new head coach D.J. Smith altered the Sens' defensive landscape. Suddenly, Jaros was back in Belleville to start the 2019-20 season. Injuries didn’t help either, and Jaros struggled to find traction. He played only 47 total games that year, splitting time between Belleville and Ottawa. The year after, despite Hainsey's retirement, Jaros was blocked again with the arrival of Artem Zub and Erik Gudbranson.
Jaros was eventually dealt to the San Jose Sharks for the 2020-21 season but trying to stay in the lineup remained a challenge. Jaros managed just 18 games split between the Sharks and their AHL affiliate. Another trade sent him to New Jersey, where he dressed for only 11 games during the 2021–22 season.
Jaros finally decided to try his luck in the KHL in 2022-23. Over three seasons in Russia, he rediscovered some NHL desire. Last year, he appeared in 51 games with CSKA Moscow, recording 12 points and staying relatively healthy.
Now 29, Jaros returns to North America this fall, signing a one-year contract with the Columbus Blue Jackets earlier this month.
His odds of cracking the Jackets’ NHL lineup might be slim, but big, mobile right-shot defensemen like Jaros are tough to find, and maybe he found some of his old swagger in the KHL.
After years of setbacks and reinvention, it’s easy to pull for an ex-Senator product who's still out there battling, looking to prove he belongs in the world’s best league.
The youngster delivered for the second straight game since returning to the Mets.
Alvarez missed his first Citi Field home run of the season by a matter of inches on Monday night against the Angels, instead settling for a rally-starting double high and deep off the right-center fence in the bottom of the seventh.
But right back in the lineup on Tuesday, Alvarez made sure to leave the park.
After Brett Baty lined a two-out double into the right-center gap, the slugger dug in and demolished a seventh-pitch 87 mph fastball from veteran right-hander Kyle Hendricks 374 feet for a no-doubt, game-tying blast.
Hendricks held the Mets to just one single over 4.2 innings before the roof caved in.
“I was patient,” Alvarez said through a translator after the win. “I went to go look for my pitch that I could hit, I didn’t want to go and swing-and-miss, that was my approach and I was able to execute my swing on that specific pitch.”
The 23-year-old former No. 1 prospect has now gone deep 12 times over his last 20 games between Triple-A and the majors after struggling to find his power stroke during a disappointing first half of the season.
He did strike out with a man on third and two outs in the bottom of the eighth on Tuesday, but has still reached base a total of five times over his first two games back.
Alvarez is now hitting an impressive .333 with 10 of those blasts, 21 RBI, and a 1.335 OPS this month.
“I’m so happy for him,” Brandon Nimmo said. “I see how hard he works, he puts everything into this. For good people you want to see good things happen, and for him to take going down to Triple-A and go work and to be able to have the results right away is amazing.
“I know he has all the makings of an All-Star catcher, it’s just putting it all together. I know it’s easier said than done, but for him to have this impact right away is amazing.”
While the sample size is still extremely small, getting Alvarez back to his run producing ways would be a ginormous boost to the bottom of this lineup moving forward in the second half of the season.
“You have to give this kid a ton of credit,” Carlos Mendoza said. “From the moment he got back down there he just kept working. He could’ve pouted and felt sorry for himself but that wasn’t the case -- and here he is now, looking like the Alvy we know he’s capable of.”
Frankie Montas fell just short of becoming the second Mets starter to complete an outing of six-plus innings over the last month, but that's neither here nor there. His job was to keep the game close, and that task was accomplished.
While the veteran right-hander's performance didn't include style points, it was still a winning effort, as his 5.2 frames of two-run ball with a season-best six strikeouts helped the Mets rally to a 3-2 win over the Angels on Tuesday night at Citi Field.
"I threw some good splitters, good sweepers, good sliders. I thought I had a nice amount of pitches working tonight," Montas said after the game. "I feel pretty good. I would've loved to finish the sixth inning, though. But step by step, I definitely feel better and better every time I step on the mound. I feel like my pitches are moving better.
"I'm getting more movement, more strikes. I keep making progress every start... The first two innings, I thought I was missing my location. I tried to throw my pitches in a better spot after that. Things were working better after that."
Montas flirted with trouble from the jump, allowing a first-inning double and then a single to Mike Trout that fortunately resulted in Nolan Schanuel being tagged out on a bang-bang play at the plate.
In the second, he surrendered a two-out, no-doubt solo homer to Jorge Soler that broke the ice, and Schanuel managed to get some revenge with an RBI double in the fifth that bumped the Angels' lead to 2-0.
But Montas retired eight straight batters at one point, and although he left the mound trailing with eight hits allowed, he ultimately earned his third win of the campaign with a boost from the Mets' bats.
"I thought he was good. I thought the secondary pitches were good," Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said of Montas. "He used all of them in the strike zone, expanded when he needed to. He's got to be able to compete in the strike zone with the secondaries -- whether it's the split, the slider, the sweeper. The cutter elevated against a couple of lefties.
"The other good sign for me was, he was able to reach 97 [mph] in that sixth inning to get Soler for strike three in the top of the zone. That's a good sign. For him to reach there at 90 pitches, it was really good to see. So, a very good outing and very good step for him."
Montas, who threw 58 of a season-high 91 pitches for strikes, now owns a 4.62 ERA and 1.30 WHIP (five starts) since coming off the injured list in late June. He also has a strikeout-walk ratio of 23-to-6 across 25.1 innings, and his reliability will be put to the test next week in a scheduled road matchup with the Padres.
"Definitely feel better every time I step on the mound"

Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby has had a legendary NHL career, solidifying his place as one of the greatest players in hockey history.
Despite the Penguins missing the playoffs for a third consecutive season this past year, he remained dominant at 37, finishing the year with 33 goals and 91 points in 80 games. It was his third-straight season of 90+ points, and he compiled 30 points in the Penguins' final 21 games of the year.
His outstanding season puts him on the brink of breaking Mario Lemieux's record for the most points in franchise history. Crosby is ninth all-time in NHL scoring with 1,687 points, just 36 points behind Lemieux for eighth on the all-time list. Assuming he stays healthy this season, he will break that record and likely have it for many years to come.
Crosby is also only 68 points away from tying Steve Yzerman for 7th on the all-time scoring list and 84 away from tying Marcel Dionne for sixth.
In terms of assists, Crosby ranks 10th in NHL history with 1,062 after passing Gordie Howe during the 2024-25 season. He's only 38 away from 1,100 for his career, which would move him past Yzerman and Adam Oates on the all-time list.
The Penguins may not be very good this upcoming season but Crosby will give fans more than enough reasons to tune into games on a nightly basis.
Despite bullpen woes and a costly fielding error, a ninth-inning home run from Ben Rice helped the Yankees avoid a late collapse and outlast the Blue Jays, 5-4, on Tuesday night at Rogers Centre.
Here are the takeaways...
-- While it took the Yankees four innings to score against Max Scherzer in their June 30 meeting, they only needed four batters to tack on runs in Tuesday's rematch. After a leadoff single from Trent Grisham and a double from Cody Bellinger, the veteran right-hander grooved a full-count, one-out fastball to Jazz Chisholm Jr. that he clobbered into the right-center field seats for a three-run homer. It was the 18th blast of the season for Chisholm, who also happened to break the ice with a dinger off Scherzer three weeks ago.
-- Cam Schlittler took the mound for his second-career start -- it was delayed a few days due to reported arm soreness -- and the Blue Jays put him to work almost immediately. While the rookie's first inning included a pair of strikeouts, he allowed a walk and two singles that brought a run home and cut the Yankees' lead to 3-1. Schlittler then escaped a bases-loaded jam in the second that pushed his pitch total to a whopping 49.
-- Scherzer settled in after the first-inning homer, retiring six straight at one point and 13 of 15 with two outs in the fifth. But he just couldn't get the best of Bellinger, who crushed a solo shot to right-center to bump the Yankees' lead to 4-1. Scherzer completed the frame, finishing at a season-high 90 pitches. There was no way to predict a homer and pair of doubles from Bellinger against Scherzer -- he entered with a career .118 average across 16 at-bats.
-- Schlittler regained control of his pitch count after the second inning, needing only 21 pitches to complete the third and fourth frames. But he fell into trouble in the fifth, allowing three singles that resulted in another Blue Jays run. The rally could've been far worse if not for a slick 6-4-3 double play turned by Anthony Volpe and Chisholm up the middle. It was simply a grind for Schlittler, who gave up two runs on seven hits and three walks with three punchouts (90 pitches).
-- Tim Hill took over for Schlittler in the sixth, and the left-hander's rhythm was quickly disrupted by poor support behind him. A throwing error from Volpe on a routine grounder allowed leadoff man Miles Straw to reach base, and from there, a one-out RBI double from pinch-hitter Davis Schneider cut the Blue Jays' deficit back to two. The Yankees then turned to Jonathan Loáisiga to clean up the mess, but he gave up a first-pitch RBI single to George Springer that knotted the score at 4-4. Volpe now has 13 errors this season, tied for the most at any position in MLB.
-- Loáisiga surprisingly came back out for the seventh, and the attempt to steal outs with him backfired. He was pulled after one pitch, which Bo Bichette ripped down the left-field line for a double. By necessity, Luke Weaver was tasked with completing the frame, and he did just that by inducing a flyout and two lineouts. One of the outs wasn't pain-free, however -- TV cameras caught Aaron Judge flexing his right hand and grimacing after catching a ball and throwing it back in.
-- The ninth inning began with the game still tied at 4-4, but it only took five pitches for the Yankees to regain the lead. With one out, Ben Rice played the role of hero, smacking a first-pitch fastball from Jeff Hoffman into the right-center bullpen for a solo homer. Devin Williams handled the bottom half of the frame, and while he flirted with trouble by allowing a leadoff single and a deep flyout, he then struck out a pair to register his 15th save of the season.
Game MVP: Ben Rice
While it was Bellinger who had the best night at the plate, finishing 3-for-4 and boosting his season average to .285, the game wouldn't have been won without Rice's huge solo shot in the ninth. He didn't waste any time in swinging against Hoffman with a chance to do damage.
The Mets were down early, but a three-run fifth inning -- powered by Francisco Alvarez's two-run homer -- was the difference in their 3-2 win over the Angels at Citi Field on Tuesday night.
Alvarez hit 11 homers in Triple-A when he was demoted, but he went deep for his fourth homer of the season, his first since June and his first at home this year.
The Mets (58-44) have won three straight games and remain 0.5 games behind the Phillies, who won earlier in the evening.
Here are the takeaways...
- The Mets' defense helped out Frankie Montas early in this one. Mike Trout hit a one-out single with Nolan Schanuel on second. Juan Soto fielded the ball and threw a one-hopper to Alvarez, who tagged Schanuel to keep the Angels off the board.
Soto has six outfield assists after having nine all of last season.
Montas benefited from some great defense behind him as he scattered baserunners throughout his outing, only allowing one run on a Jorge Soler bomb in the second inning. However, things started to unravel for the right-hander in the fifth. Montas allowed two doubles with a walk sandwiched between, as the Angels took a 2-0 lead. But Montas would escape a bases-loaded jam and get through five innings.
Montas pitched into the sixth but could not complete the inning after allowing a two-out single to Logan O'Hoppe.
Rico Garcia picked up the final out of the sixth and ended Montas' night. The veteran right-hander tossed 91 pitches (58 strikes) across 5.2 innings, allowing two runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out six.
- The Mets' offense was kept in check by veteran Kyle Hendricks through four innings. The only hit came on a Mark Vientos bloop single that centerfielder Jo Adell let drop in front of him. But that all changed in the fifth. With two outs, Brett Baty hit a double and Alvarez plated him with a monstrous two-run shot that got the Citi Field crowd on their feet. It's just Alvarez's fourth longball this season and the first at home.
Ronny Mauricio singled and stole second before Brandon Nimmo singled him home to give the Mets a 3-2 lead.
- New York could not take advantage of shoddy Angels infield defense, as Alvarez and Mauricio reached on two errors to lead off the seventh. Nimmo and Lindor struck out before Soto was walked intentionally to load the bases. Alonso struck out to end the threat.
The top four of the Mets lineup (Nimmo, Lindor, Soto, Alonso) went a combined 1-for-13 with three walks and four strikeouts. Soto did pick up his 13th stolen base this season, setting a new career-high.
- The Mets were without Huascar Brazoban and Edwin Diaz after they worked two games in a row, but the bullpen pieced it together. Garcia allowed a hit in one inning of work before Reed Garrett picked up four outs without allowing a baserunner. Ryne Stanek came on to close it out and allowed a leadoff single.
Stanek bounced back, striking out Luis Rengifo and getting Zach Neto to fly out. Schanuel hit a single to set up Trout with two outs. The former MVP popped out to Alonso to end the game.
Game MVP: Francisco Alvarez
The Mets were being dominated by the Angels before Alvarez's two-run blast in the fifth.
The Chicago Blackhawks are hoping that goaltender Spencer Knight will become something special for them. The 2019 first-round pick undoubtedly has plenty of potential and has shown promise early on, but there is a real expectation that he has not hit his ceiling yet.
During this past season split between the Florida Panthers and Blackhawks, Knight put together a 17-16-3 record, a .901 save percentage, and a 2.72 goals-against average in 38 games. Overall, it was a solid year for the youngster, and it will be fascinating to see what kind of season he has as the Blackhawks' starter in 2025-26 from here.
In 95 career NHL games over four seasons, Knight has a 49-33-9 record, a .904 save percentage, and a 2.83 goals-against average. Due to his solid play over the year, he has now received more praise.
NHL Fantasy/Edge has named their top 10 goalies who are 26 years old or younger for the 2025-26 season, and Knight was ranked at the No. 8 spot. Knight beat out Joel Hofer of the St. Louis Blues and Leevi Merilainen of the Ottawa Senators on the list.
Given how Knight has performed early on in his career, him making this list is entirely fair. The potential for him to have a strong season in 2025-26 is there, and this is especially so if he taps into his potential more. Thus, he could be a good goalie for fantasy hockey managers to bring in once the big-name netminders are off the board.
Former Blackhawks Forward Had Monster YearDuring the 2022 NHL off-season, the Chicago Blackhawks elected not to send forward Dylan Strome a qualifying offer. As a result, he became an unrestricted free agent (UFA) and signed a one-year, $2.5 million contract with the Washington Capitals in July of that year. This was after Strome posted 22 goals and 48 points with the Blackhawks during the 2021-22 season.
Only one team went undefeated in Las Vegas — and they won their games by an average of 14.2 points.
Behind No. 4 pick Kon Knueppel, the Charlotte Hornets won the NBA Summer League crown, knocking off the Sacramento Kings in the championship game. Knueppel was named Summer League Championship Game MVP.
NO. 4 PICK KON KNUEPPEL LEADS THE @hornets TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP IN VEGAS
Another standout in the title game was Creighton center Ryan Kalkbrenner, who was a defensive force throughout Summer League but added 15 points in the championship game. The Hornets having two rookies with strong showings in Summer League is a good sign for a developing team.
Sacramento was in the title game thanks in part to strong play from rookie Nique Clifford in Vegas, but in the big game it was Isaac Jones putting on a show with 24 points and 11 rebounds.
What does winning the Summer League portend for Charlotte's future? Probably nothing. On the positive side, the Lakers won Summer League in 2017 behind Kyle Kuzma and went on to win a title in 2020. Additionally, the Grizzlies won in 2019 and the Cavaliers in 2023, and both of those turned out to be quality teams. However, around those wins, the Portland Trail Blazers, Sacramento Kings, and Miami Heat have also won Summer League, but haven't gone on to strike fear in the hearts of the league.
The Utah big man who came on at the end of last season played three games in Vegas and took home the Summer League MVP averaging 29.3 points a game on 56.1% shooting, including 39.1% from beyond the arc, and he grabbed 7.7 rebounds a game.
He is going to get a lot more run for the Jazz next season.
Duke had a good summer
The Blue Devils love Las Vegas.
The No. 1 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft and the biggest draw in Las Vegas? Cooper Flagg. Summer League MVP? Kyle Filipowski. The 2025 NBA Summer League championship game MVP? Kon Knueppel.
And the Blue Devils are stacked with elite talent next season as well, starting with Cameron Boozer.

The Dodgers still want, and need, to acquire a reliever in the next nine days.
But, at some point after July 31 trade deadline, they are hopeful of adding Tanner Scott back into the bullpen mix too.
In what could be the latest bullet the Dodgers have dodged on the injury front recently, Scott was put on the injured list Tuesday with what was initially described as “elbow inflammation” — preserving hope that his season might not be over after exiting Monday’s game with a “stinging sensation” in his forearm.
As of Tuesday afternoon, manager Dave Roberts and general manager Brandon Gomes said the club was awaiting its medical staff to fully review the results of an MRI exam that Scott had earlier in the day.
But both noted that Scott, who turned 31 on Tuesday, reported improvement in his elbow compared to how he felt Monday, when he walked off the mound flexing his throwing arm after spiking a slider in the dirt during the ninth inning of the Dodgers’ series-opening win over the Minnesota Twins.
“Tanner came in feeling pretty good,” Gomes said, “so we'll wait to see the full report and go from there."
“I’m still hopeful that we’ll get Tanner back at some point,” Roberts added.
Scott has underwhelmed in the first season of his four-year, $72-million contract with the team, posting a 4.14 ERA in 47 outings with only 19 saves in 26 opportunities.
However, losing him for the season would have been a significant blow to a Dodgers team that has already seen key reliever Evan Phillips undergo Tommy John surgery, and navigated around long-term injuries to Blake Treinen (who is nearing the completion of a rehab assignment), Michael Kopech (who is hopeful of returning from the 60-day IL when eligible in late August) and Brusdar Graterol (who is still expected back from an offseason shoulder surgery that has sidelined him all year).
“He’s not throwing the baseball as well as he’s gonna be throwing the baseball,” Roberts said, maintaining hope not only that Scott will return but also flash improved form down the stretch this year. “But just to have somebody that’s there, that takes the baseball, has been huge.”
Of course, Scott’s troubles (along with similar scuffles from fellow offseason signing Kirby Yates) have highlighted the need for the Dodgers to target another high-leverage reliever at this year’s deadline and bolster a bullpen that ranks 24th in ERA and a far-and-away first in innings pitched.
Before Scott’s injury Monday, president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman said “any time a needle-moving player is available, we’re gonna get involved,” when asked how aggressive the team will be in addressing its bullpen need.
To that end, there should be no shortage of attractive options, with as many as nine top relievers expected to be available to some degree — from Minnesota Twins flamethrower Jhoan Durán, to multi-time All-Stars such as Emmanuel Clase of the Cleveland Guardians and David Bednar of the Pittsburgh Pirates, to established veteran closers such as the Tampa Bay Rays’ Pete Fairbanks and Baltimore Orioles’ Félix Bautista, and maybe even young Athletics star Mason Miller.
Outside of St. Louis Cardinals right-hander Ryan Helsley, however, almost all of this year’s biggest relief targets are under team control beyond this season.
That means acquisition costs will be high, at least in the eyes of a Dodgers’ front office that has long been wary of overspending on relievers at the deadline.
"The prices are always crazy come the deadline,” Gomes said. “That's why we did everything we could this offseason to not have to be in the position to buy.”
The Dodgers do have internal depth they like.
This week, the team called up Edgardo Henriquez, a hard-throwing right-hander who missed the start of the year with a broken foot, and Alexis Diaz, the former All-Star closer for the Cincinnati Reds.
Friedman also suggested that, with Blake Snell and Roki Sasaki working toward returns from injury, there could be surplus starting pitchers who eventually get moved into the bullpen later this year.
“We feel like we’re gonna get to a place where we’re not gonna have enough starting pitcher spots for our starting pitching,” Friedman said. “So there could be some spillover of that into the bullpen.”
However, adding another high-leverage arm to the back end of the group remains a priority.
Had Scott been lost for the year, that burden only would’ve grown.
“Once we get Dr. [Neal] ElAttrache’s take on it, we’ll obviously have more clarity,” said Roberts, who plans to go closer-by-committee in Scott’s absence. “But right now, him talking to the training staff, we feel good about it.”
St. Louis Blues goaltender Joel Hofer once again had a solid season in 2024-25. In 31 games with the Blues on the year, the 24-year-old goaltender recorded a 16-8-3 record, a .904 save percentage, and a 2.64 goals-against average. This was after he had a 15-12-1 record, a .913 save percentage, and a 2.65 goals-against average in 30 games with the Blues in 2023-24.
Due to his strong play over the last two seasons, Hofer earned a two-year contract extension with an average annual value (AAV) of $3.4 million this off-season. Now, he has also earned some nice praise.
NHL Fantasy/Edge recently ranked the top 10 fantasy hockey goalies who are 26 years old or younger heading into the 2025-26 season, and Hofer secured the No. 9 spot.
The other goalies who made the list are Jake Oettinger (Dallas Stars), Dustin Wolf (Calgary Flames), Pyotr Kochetkov (Carolina Hurricanes), Lukas Dostal (Anaheim Ducks), Jeremy Swayman (Boston Bruins), Yaroslav Askarov (San Jose Sharks), Spencer Knight (Chicago Blackhawks), and Leevi Merilainen (Ottawa Senators).
Given how well Hofer has played at the Blues' backup, it is understandable that he is being considered one of the top young goalies for fantasy hockey in 2025-26. He has the potential to be a nice sleeper heading into next season, and this will especially be the case if he hits a new level with the Blues in 2025-26.
Paul Blackburn continued his rehab assignment on Tuesday in Triple-A.
The Mets' right-hander found himself in immediate trouble as he allowed a leadoff triple to MJ Melendez in the top of the first -- he scored the first run of the game just a few pitches later on a groundout.
Blackburn was extremely effective from there -- setting down the next five hitters before allowing a leadoff single to Diego Castillo in the third.
After breezing past that, he put together another stretch of five consecutive retired before issuing a leadoff walk in the fifth -- a stolen base pushed that runner into scoring position, but a punchout sandwiched between two fly outs helped Blackburn dance out of danger.
He returned to the mound for the sixth but was pulled after allowing a single.
Justin Hagenman entered in relief and worked around a double to close Blackburn’s final line with just the one run allowed on three hits and a walk while striking out five across as many innings of work.
He was able to stretch out to 72 pitches after throwing just 53 during his first rehab appearance last week.
It'll be interesting to see how the Mets use Blackburn when he is finally able to return from his shoulder injury with both Kodai Senga and Sean Manaea back healthy and in the rotation.
The 31-year-old has pitched to a 7.71 ERA and 1.98 WHIP across six outings (four starts) this season.
Paul Blackburn was strong tonight in his rehab start for Triple-A Syracuse:
Two new 99 overall Team Builder cards are live now in NHL 25 Hockey Ultimate Team.
A 99 overall Zdeno Chara and Jaromir Jagr are now available, as well as 14 new Chelebration cards.
The Team Builders can be built in sets, one 99 card can be acquired by trading in any 10 92+ cards. This is a good deal and a much cheaper way to build 99s than past events.
The new Chelebration cards are led by four 97 overall players, they are Wayne Gretzky, Daniel Alfredsson, Mikko Rantanen, and Zach Werenski. 96 overall Mathew Barzal and Patrik Laine, 95 overall Jordan Kyrou and Adam Lowry were also added.
Olympic and Paralympic committee tells federations it has ‘obligation to comply’ with executive order issued by Trump
The US Olympic and Paralympic committee has in effect barred transgender women from competing in women’s sports, telling the federations overseeing swimming, athletics and other sports it has an “obligation to comply” with an executive order issued by Donald Trump.
The new policy, announced on Monday with a quiet change on the USOPC’s website and confirmed in a letter sent to national sport governing bodies, follows a similar step taken by the NCAA earlier this year.
