Has the Ondrej Palat contract been THAT bad?
Two summers ago, the New Jersey Devils were looking to make yet another splash in free agency. And why not? Twelve months earlier, they convinced Dougie Hamilton to come to New Jersey. The Devils, despite having a down year in 2021-22, were viewed as a team on the cusp of turning the corner and being a really good hockey team, if only they could get the right supporting pieces around their young core. They had cap space to play with at the time, thanks in part to the team-friendly deals that Nico Hischier and Jack Hughes had already signed, as well as with PK Subban’s $9M AAV contract expiring. And their younger high-end prospects were years away from contributing anything at the NHL level. The time to go for it and spend money is now!

Novel Cordials and Mindful Mixology With Kitty Bernardo of NYC’s Paradise Lost
Walk through the nondescript door marked only with a creepy green glyph on Second Avenue in New York’s East Village and you’ll encounter the greatest entryway in modern bar history. Immediately, you’re bathed in neon and surrounded by foliage, drawn to the glowing letters “PARADISE LOST” like a thirsty mosquito to a bug zapper. Pass one more door and you’re trapped in uber-kitsch tropical hell (think: “Jaws” meets “Hellraiser.”) I’ve spent hours in this bar and every visit I notice something new and delightful artfully staple-gunned to the walls or ceiling. This joyful, spooky collage would be enough to keep me coming back again and again — the drinks could be an afterthought and I would still sing its praises. Fortunately for all of us, the drinks happen to be not only phenomenal, but thoughtful as well.
