The list of players that are still available should be reassuring but it's just confusing to me. How on earth are some of these free agents still available when some teams haven't even used their EFOs? Are they just being nice and not forcing anyone to play for them?

expansion teams you want to take gabbie hughes over fanuza kadirova sooooo bad. hughes is so much better you want her not kadirova I promise.

looking back I think that 2024 charge team could have done some damage in the playoffs if they hadn't gone full red wings during the last week of the season

2024: Charge lose their top goalscorer to free agency 2025: Charge lose their leading scorer to free agency 2026: Charge lose their leading scorer to free agency

it is really impressive that in just 2.5 years the pwhl has managed to cause charge fans this much pain

the lesson here is that you all should have listened to me when I told you to buy savolainen stocks on november 30th 2024 at approximately 5:30 pm.

the ottawa charge are the ultimate team for gatekeepers. like oh you like the charge? name 3 players. weeds out the people who only know the olympic teams.

I do wonder if the Charge are talking to Jamie Lee Rattray

welcome to your savolainen years

Ottawa has now lost all 3 of their first 3 signings to expansion.

Just like with Jenner, I'm somehow shocked to see Emily Clark leave even though I fully expected it.

Shea Theodore wants to be Ronja Savolainen so bad

PWHL GM: Hey we think you'd be a great fit for our expansion team and we'd love to offer you a contract. PWHL player: I'm pregnant and it's my teammate's.

pwhl players allegedly threatening pregnancy to get out of playing for expansion teams is so funny oh my god

listening to my ek65 trade playlist

hey at least she'll get to hang out with fellow MAGA hockey player dylan lar- oh wait

alright maybe I can start a rivalry with detroit

they're going to have to hold a one team expansion draft just so pwhl vegas can force people to play for them

I don't really have much to say about Guilday tbh because I did not find her very memorable as a player. Except for that one play of course.

Rory Guilday's last play as a member of the Ottawa Charge was scoring the Walter Cup winning goal on her own net

When I put aside my feelings about anyone filling Jenner's shoes it is an interesting question though. If Clark stays it's almost certainly her. I could see Mrazova but she had a down year and is in decline. Leslie maybe but that's so much pressure on a relatively unproven player. Savolainen maybe?

If I understand the expansion process correctly (which I probably don't), Ottawa couldn't have signed Jenner during phase 1 without protecting her, and can't sign her until this phase is done, so maybe that was the issue? I can’t imagine they weren't going to sign her at all?

the daryl watts/alex debrincat parallels...

Good for Watts, getting paid what she deserves. Maybe we will have a rivalry with Detroit after all.

sick to my stomach picturing anyone else wearing the C for the charge

when I attended the first charge game of 2024-2025 and instantly became obsessed with ronja savolainen I had no idea how much heartache I was saving myself like wow at least my fav is safe from expansion

really banking on leslie being able to produce without jenner

IAN KENNEDY SAYS IT WASN’T EVEN AN EFO

the cat is screaming at me I think she's mad about jenner too

I hate expansion and I hate the city of hamilton ontario

WDYM THE CHARGE DON'T WANT HER THAT’S LITERALLY MOTHER

NO

an amazing day for the president of the red wings hater club @cbeatae.bsky.social

It's a big blow but Detroit Red Wings fans can remain calm knowing that they have Justin Faulk.

all part of the yzerplan

glad the charge didn't overthink their protection list too much. philips and savolainen were the right choices. third slot could have gone to jenner, leslie or kadirova and I'm not sure there's a wrong answer between them. I probably would have kept jenner but I'm fine with this.

savolainen safe that's all that matters for now

at an event where there's a raffle and we don't get to choose which items we want and unfortunately I'm really worried that I'm destined to win the signed habs merch

making up for our lack of charge content this year with a full episode about the charge. this is NOT a safe space for victoire apologists.

I will always respect the bit of cherry picking stats to make your own team look good but habs fans' commitment to not knowing what expected goals are is very funny

gonna sound like insane cope but it's actually nice to see the hurricanes look this dominant after all the experts said that the sens are just a slightly worse version of them

TWO too many men penalties with your season on the line??!!!

hilarious that the hurricanes' opponents got easier with each round

bestie made a pwhl player salary data sheet complete with charts and stats according to nationality, age etc everyone go check it out docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

so much has changed since then, but if you weren't around for pre-PWHL women's hockey, you need to understand this is where the players were coming from, and how important it is that the standard has been raised so much in so few years:

fantastic cost per point numbers on ottawa's top line though

all PWHL players are horrifically underpaid so I will never act like a player is paid too much. but if Hamilton wants Emily Clark who are we to stop them
