So, here's who seems to have emerged from the post-3 p.m. rubble in better shape. MORE: Full list of moves | The Deadline blog Buffalo Sabres: GM Tim Murray did most of his work in the days leading up to the deadline, but the haul is still impressive. After starting the day with 10 first- and second-round picks in the next two drafts, Murray stocked up a little more, getting second-rounders and Torrey Mitchell for winger Matt Moulson....
In 2021, well, not nearly as much as just 26 players got new sweaters in 17 trades. While a couple of expected names got sent packing, there really weren’t any unexpected, blockbuster deals. Obviously, the big question is where does it all lead? For now, that’s anyone’s guess — especially considering quarantines will keep some guys off the ice for a week — but that won’t stop us from taking a stab at assessing the biggest winners, losers, and those who fell in between....
“I had a great time in Tampa, loved my time there, but after the trade, I wanted to stick it to them,” explained Boyle. So, Boyle has a solid perspective on what both Sami Vatanen and Adam Henrique feel heading into Monday’s game between the Devils and Ducks at the Prudential Center. Less than three weeks ago, the Devils sent Henrique, the popular center, to the Ducks along with fellow center Joseph Blandisi in exchange for Vatanen, a much-coveted defenseman....
While a good amount of the participants at these camps have locked down roster spots, there are quite a few players who are trying to beat out others and earn their way onto the club. There are veterans who are trying to prove they still have enough left in the tank to play in the NHL, but on the other side are the rookies. Every year, there are a handful of youngsters going into camp with the hopes of making a dream come true and make an NHL roster....
In 2014 as a junior at Boston University, Rodrigues and the Terriers were scheduled to play in Frozen Fenway, an outdoor event hosted at the Boston Red Sox stadium. Four games in total were played, two weekends each featuring a double-header, with the action concluding the second Saturday in January with Boston University against the University of Maine. But Rodrigues was held out that game, a hand injury sustained weeks earlier relegating him to the press box....
Some of the guests might now wish they’d never met Kozeny. At the bash and after, the 35-year-old Czech native with an Irish passport and a Harvard degree met with several new acquaintances and spoke to them about a potential fortune to be made in post-Soviet Azerbaijan. Now, nearly two years and $450 million later, Kozeny’s plan to take advantage of Azeri privatization schemes has turned sour. NEWSWEEK has learned that some investors, including Wall Street hedge-fund guru Leon Cooperman, have consulted lawyers and detectives to see if they can prove misrepresentation and perhaps recoup their presumed losses–by seizing Kozeny’s Aspen chalet, for instance....
But most quarterbacks who do something like that are not viewed as a pure backup to a young franchise QB. The Eagles don’t have to do anything with Foles soon, as he’s under contract for another year with a bargain $7 million coming his way. But as they get closer to the 2018 season and learn more about Carson Wentz’s recovery timetable from a knee injury, the Eagles’ good QB problem will get tougher....
It was only seven years ago that Nolte was dubbed ““the sexiest man alive’’ by People magazine, after his performance in Barbra Streisand’s ““The Prince of Tides.’’ That wimpy accolade was surpassed this year when both the New York Film Critics Circle and the National Society of Film Critics named him best actor for ““Affliction.’’ The film, based on Russell Banks’s novel, is as close to Greek tragedy as movies come....

We respectfully ask for privacy during this special time as we focus on our family....
The Alabama and Jackson State coaches on Wednesday teased a new ad for Aflac — for which they are both spokesmen. The obvious implication is the two are now on speaking terms after Saban alleged Jackson State of using NIL endorsements to pay $1 million for Travis Hunter, the top player in the 2022 recruiting class. Here is the 13-second tease for the ad, which ends with the following text prominently overlaid atop the two coaches: “2 GOATS, 1 DUCK, No Beef....
The request came Thursday on Saban’s weekly call-in radio show, when one intrepid fan asked the coach, “Would you object to me putting you as the write-in for the president of the United States?” MORE: Week 10 picks: Can LSU pull the upset? Saban, tactful as he is, politely declined the opportunity: “I have all I could handle right here,” he said. “I don’t need all those problems.” Of course, Saban would likely get a hefty amount of votes from throughout the Southeast in a presidential election — but only because voters would rather see him running the White House instead of dominating the Southeastern Conference....
The basketball players filmed a public service announcement for “Jimmy Kimmel Live” and while it’s obviously supposed to be a joke, they have a point. Wobbly tables are the worst. MORE: Allen Iverson cries at birthday party | Kobe Bryant realizes he’s old | Relive the awesome NBA Finals There’s nothing worse than spilling fruit punch on your slacks, as Lin points out. Not exactly sure how wobbly tables makes Mutombo feel like he’s on a boat, but I think he just wanted an excuse to wear a sailor outfit....
Young reinvigorated his career last season as the leading scorer on a depleted Lakers team, averaging 17.9 points.

The Australian star, 54, is starring in an upcoming series set in the region that has been described as “soft propaganda.” Expats is based on the novel “The Expatriates” by Janice Y. K. Lee that follows the personal and professional lives of a tight-knit group of expatriates living in Hong Kong. The Big Little Lies actress was allowed to skip Hong Kong’s mandatory hotel quarantine of up to three weeks in a move that is said to have sparked public anger....

And the former Werder Bremen man is confident that Gernot Rohr’s men have the ability to do well in the tourney provided they stay clear of injury....
Like the video, the MSCHF shoes incorporate Satanic imagery. The sneakers feature a bronze pentagram and an inverted cross containing a drop of actual human blood. MSCHF’s design came in a limited edition run of 666 pairs with a $1,018 price tag—a reference to the Bible verse Luke 10:18 which states “I watched Satan fall from heaven like lightning”—and sold out in under a minute after going on sale at 11:00 a....
The reigning MVP continues his somehow under-the-radar charge for the award in 2021-22, posting absurd line after absurd line for the Nuggets. Against the Clippers on Sunday, Jokic tallied 26 points, 22 rebounds, eight assists, two steals and two blocks, leading the Nuggets to a 103-100 win. The performance marked his second consecutive 20-point, 20-rebound game after he put up 29 points and 21 rebounds against the Hornets nights earlier....
