It's NHL wedding season! I'm aware of 10 NHLers who got married over the July 7-8, 2023 weekend as well as two related weddings.

From Women in Diplomacy to Women's Diplomacy?
The history of women in international affairs is long and important. In his book "Messengers, Heralds and Envoys in Savage Societies" (Göteborg 1947), Ragnar Numelin, the foremost Finnish writer on the history of diplomacy, analyses the prehistory of diplomacy, concluding that the role of peacemaking and maintaining harmonious relations with others has always been devolved to women, while men have been the warlords. It is a challenging thought that women’s emergence on the diplomatic stage could usher in improved peace-building procedures, and effect a qualitative change in international relations.
Tyyne Leivo-Larsson told a female audience in Oslo in 1965 that someone (a man?) had suggested that diplomats were involved in solving problems that would never have existed without them. This is most certainly not the kind of reputation a women diplomat would ever want to have.

Joku muu sanoi samankaltaisen mutta:
Keitä annos esim jasmiini riisiä
Paista pannulla rapeaksi 'ruokaisat palko kasvikset' sekoitusta, lisää mausteet.
Tarjoile noi pannun jutut riisin päällä.
Voi lisäksi paistaa kananmunan.
----
Ja yleinen vinkki että kun keittää noodeleita niin sinne voi heittää mukaan kourallisen punaisia linssejä, ne keittyy nopeasti ja lisää ravinteikkuutta noodeli pohjaiseen annokseen. :D
-----
Ja melkeen kaikkeen ruokaan voi rouhia kourallisen maapähkinöitä, ne on kans halpoja ja tuo lisää kaloreita.
-----
Leivo ite sämpylöitä ja lisää taikinaan auringonkukan siemeniä ja valitsemaasi halpaa pähkinää. Sämpylöiden teko on helppo oppia ja reseptin saa Googlesta.
-----
Ku en keksi mitään syötävää ni teen lettutaikinan tai keitän mannapuuroa.
------
Jos tykkää maku proteiini rahkoista nii osta perus maitorahkaa, lisää siihen vähä maitoa ja vanilja sokeria, sekoita, lisää siihen rkl jotain hilloa tai marmeladia. Ostin kerran aprikoosi marmeladia ja tää paketti maistuu itelle paremmalta kuin kaupan maustetut proteiini rahkat.
Oisko kellään ideoita edulliseen opiskelijaruokaan? Tai yleisemmin reseptisuosituksia.
Osaan kyllä kokata, mut mielikuvituksen puute vaivaa. Mun on hankala lähteä seikkailemaan jostain tutusta kanakastike + riisi kombosta 😅

The Blues GM Doug Armstrong might have the largest influence on the NHL trade deadline, according to Wiebe's World
Doug Armstrong doesn't hesitate to take a stand on contentious or perhaps unpopular issues.
When you work as a general manager in the NHL, there are times when that is just the price of doing business.
In this flattish-cap society that people are living in today, it is very difficult to please everyone and keep everyone happy.
The St. Louis Blues' owner may be the person with the most influence on the NHL trade deadline in the weeks building up to Mar. 3 because of the conviction with which he runs his business.
Armstrong has firsthand experience with what it takes to pull off the biggest comeback in NHL history, a season that was in ruins in December of 2018 before the Blues won the first Stanley Cup in franchise history a few months later.
Armstrong is now forced to restructure his roster on the spot because the Blues aren't exactly in the bottom half of the standings these days, but they're also not exactly in a good spot to be considered a serious contender either.
A complete overhaul is not necessary or expected given the makeup of the roster and the core players who are under contract moving forward, but major surgery may be in the works given the Blues' current standings in the Central Division and the Western Conference, where they are fifth and eleventh, respectively, and eight points behind the second wild card spot (and the Colorado Avalanche holding three games in hand).
With 31 games left in the regular season, the arithmetic isn't in the Blues' favor, as colleague Elliotte Friedman loves to point out.
The Blues' most recent trip to Winnipeg confirmed what has been obvious for some time: these aren't the Blues of 2019 or even the Blues from the previous campaign.
Of course, this squad has endured some difficult injuries, but something doesn't seem quite right.
It would be an exaggeration to suggest the franchise is experiencing an identity crisis, but this is undoubtedly a team in transition, and Armstrong must find a way to rebuild the roster, much like he did in 2018.
Armstrong made the decision to trade veteran center Paul Stastny to the Winnipeg Jets for a package that included a first-round pick in 2018 and forward prospect Erik Foley while the Blues were fighting for a playoff spot that year.
That summer, Armstrong signed free agent Tyler Bozak, brought back David Perron, completed the splashy trade for Ryan O'Reilly, and signed Pat Maroon, a product of St. Louis.
The reward was being able to drink from Lord Stanley's mug in 2019, but the difficult decisions continued when captain Alex Pietrangelo left for the Vegas Golden Knights as an unrestricted free agent after the 2019–20 season.
Speaking of retiring captains, David Backes signed the Boston Bruins as an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2016 after helping the St. Louis Blues defeat the San Jose Sharks in the Western Conference semifinals that spring, ending his ten-year association with the team.
Perron's production and leadership have been missed this season because Armstrong emphasized the signing of up-and-coming forwards Robert Thomas and Jordan Kyrou last summer, making it practically impossible to bring him back.
All of this is to suggest that a quick scan at the CapFriendly website reveals that choices are about to be made on the UFA forwards Vladimir Tarasenko, Ivan Barbashev, Noel Acciari, Tyler Pitlick, Josh Leivo, and O'Reilly, the defenseman Niko Mikkola, and the backup goaltender Thomas Greiss.
Although it's not out of the question that some of those players sign extensions or decide to rejoin the Blues in the summer after being traded, it seems more likely that many of them will be moving before the deadline.
Armstrong and the teams trying to sign Tarasenko ($7.5 million AAV) and O'Reilly ($7.5 million AAV) may need to exercise some patience because so many of the top contenders are either close to the cap or have already entered LTIR.
O'Reilly's foot ailment might also lower his market worth, but he is a seasoned captain with outstanding credentials, including the Conn Smythe and Selke Trophies for best defensive forward in the league in 2019 and 2018–19, respectively.
O'Reilly has the ability to play against the best opposition and still contribute offensively, even though his production this season has decreased.
He also brings a lot of intangibles to the table, which further increases his street cred.
Tarasenko has occasionally been a game-changer during his career in a league where goals may still be hard to come by, especially when the playoffs start.
Six of his seasons, including one in which he scored 40 goals, are listed on his resume.
Tarasenko was very productive for the Blues during the postseason in 2016, 2019, and 2022 (nine goals, 15 points in 20 games) (nine points in 12 games).
He can give a power play a lift and is a skilled shooter.
There is a lot of interest in Barbashev as a player, and for good reason.
No, he hasn't been able to duplicate the output he had in 81 games last season when he set career highs in goals (26), assists (34) and points (60), but Barbashev is a solid two-way player who plays a rugged style of hockey, helps on the penalty kill, and consistently scores in double digits.
He will be appealing to all competitors due to his flexibility and his AAV of $2.25 million, which will probably spark some competition for his services.
He is exactly the kind of player that the most recent Stanley Cup champions coveted before the deadline and might end up like Nick Paul, whose brief rental period evolves into a longer stay.
Acciari, who is largely recognized for his checking skills, is currently enjoying his best successful season since recording 20 goals and 27 points with the Florida Panthers in 2019–20.
He will also be a desirable target because to his 54 postseason games of experience, versatility up and down the lineup, and AAV of $1.25 million.
Mikkola ($1.9 million AAV) is a reliable defender who might improve a second or third pairing despite not being a spectacular player.
Greiss ($1.25 million AAV) may be a useful insurance policy for a team looking to make a deep run if the Blues decide to recall top goalie prospect Joel Hofer from the American Hockey League.
It's understandable why Armstrong will be taking a lot of calls in this situation, but the more important query that needs to be addressed is whether or not he will think about trading one of the key players while there is still time remaining on a contract.
Colton Parayko ($6.5 million AAV through 2029–30) and Pavel Buchnevich ($5.8 million through 2024–25) may be mentioned in such negotiations, but it is unclear at this time.
Following the trade to acquire blue-liner Nick Leddy, who just signed a contract extension that would keep him around through the 2025–26 season, the Red Wings will have the second-round pick in 2023, leaving the Blues with picks in six of the seven rounds.
Armstrong will therefore be aiming to increase his draft capital while also acquiring assets, like as players who are either established (yet still young) or almost NHL-ready.
Leading up to March 3, there are many teams who have the chance to play the king-maker, but once everything is said and done, the trades made by the Blues might have a huge impact on a number of teams, including their own.
THE HEAVILY DISCUSSED RETURN
When the Vancouver Canucks traded captain Bo Horvat to the New York Islanders last week, many thought it was an unexpected destination for the former captain. This was the long-awaited pre-emptive strike.
The benefits of the move for both sides have been extensively discussed, and as is customary, quick verdicts and declarations of the trade's victors and losers have been made.
Others questioned the Canucks' return, while some questioned the entry of a team in the Eastern Conference that is below the playoff line and has two teams to leapfrog.
Even though the Islanders have enough of depth in the middle with Mat Barzal, Brock Nelson, Jean-Gabriel Pageau, and Casey Cizikas, it is clear that GM Lou Lamoriello wants to show his confidence in his club by adding a goal scorer.
The Islanders were satisfied they could afford to keep Horvat on a long-term contract, which they agreed to on Sunday afternoon, given what he was ready to give up.
Regarding the Canucks, if you paid attention to president Jim Rutherford and general manager Patrick Allvin during the unofficial state of the union address last month, the organization essentially checked off everything on their wish list.
They acquired Anthony Beauvillier, an NHL veteran with two 18-goal seasons and a 21-goal season under his belt, giving them six straight seasons of at least 10 goals (he has nine in 49 games this season with the Islanders).
While some believe Beauvillier can play with more experienced players and might easily get back to his best on a line with either Elias Pettersson or J.T. Miller, his development has somewhat stopped.
He is 25 years old, has an AAV of $4.15 million, and is under the team's control for another full season.
Aatu Raty, a top forward prospect who has seven goals and 15 points in 27 games with Bridgeport of the AHL and participated in 12 NHL games (two goals, two points) this season, is also acquired by the Canucks, along with a lottery-protected first-round pick in 2023.
There probably weren't many contending clubs interested in moving a middle-six forward in the transaction, contrary to the claims of some who claim the Canucks should have waited out for a better deal.
In actuality, the agreement cannot be fully assessed until we learn whether Horvat intends to remain with the Islanders or whether he intends to test the market in July.
Even then, it will likely take some time to determine what kind of player Ratu develops into, how high that first-round pick is, and how Beauvillier fits in with the Canucks.
From this vantage point, both teams appear to be taking some risk and to be in a stronger position to move further.
STROME IMPLEMENTS BET AS SECURITY
Just last week, we discussed Dylan Strome's decision to sign a one-year contract with the Washington Capitals after declining the Chicago Blackhawks' qualifying offer (https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/wiebes-world-after-some-bumps-dylan-strome-is-finding-a-home-in-washington/), a move that has already paid off for both the player and the team.
So much so that the Capitals on Friday announced a five-year, $25 million ($5 million AAV) extension to his contract, keeping him in place through the 2027–2028 campaign.
So for a while, Strome won't have to worry about looking through depth maps or trying to predict where he could land.
According to a news statement from Capitals general manager Brian MacLellan, "Dylan is an intelligent and skilled center and has been a tremendous addition to our club." We're glad to have him on a long-term deal. As he approaches the prime of his career in a crucial position, we believe his skill set is a terrific fit for our squad.
This is another instance of how a short-term bet can also guarantee that the fit is proper for both parties, despite the fact that it is understandable why athletes frequently focus on the long-term security of a multiyear commitment.
On Saturday, the Capitals committed to forward Sonny Milano for three years in another heartwarming development.
Milano didn't earn a qualifying offer from the Anaheim Ducks, and before signing a one-year deal with the Capitals for the league minimum, he attended training camp with the Calgary Flames on a pro tryout offer.
Eight goals and 22 points in 40 games helped Milano contribute some crucial complementary scoring, earning him a three-year contract with an AAV of $1.9 million.
QUICK FIRE
• As a disclaimer, I was only able to keep up with All-Star news during the break thanks to my time spent in Mexico, so I had to rely on Twitter and a few web articles. Nonetheless, here are some of the highlights.
• I admired the creativity displayed by several of the players when it came to the suits they chose, especially Josh Morrissey of the Winnipeg Jets and Mitch Marner of the Toronto Maple Leafs, who rocked the pink and white ensembles beautifully as a nod to Miami Vice. Marner received extra points for using the retro cell phone and wearing the costume during the breakaway competition.
• Admired David Pastrnak of the Boston Bruins for his inventive use of the Happy Gilmore line as well. Bonus points go to Linus Ullmark of the Bruins for his unwavering dedication to the Happy Gilmore caddie setup. It's critical to continue bringing attention to the women's game. Maintaining the talented women's involvement need to be a top focus.
• Giving Sarah Nurse the chance to provide highlight-reel performances, such as pulling off the Peter Forsberg in the breakaway competition, is a terrific approach to expand the sport.
It was simple to understand why the NHL believed it was crucial to change the structure because the most recent All-Star Game I went to was held in Columbus in 2015. It was a difficult game, which is why the decision was taken to switch to 3-on-3.
• While a total makeover may not be necessary, there is one little change that might be worth considering given the recent discussion of All-Star omissions and the prospective increase of rosters for the event. Consider replacing the four division tournament with a single 60-minute match between the Western Conference and the Eastern Conference. Play 5-on-5 in the opening frame, 4-on-4 in the middle frame, and 3-on-3 in the closing frame.
• Sidney Crosby, the captain of the Pittsburgh Penguins, said it was good enough, therefore it must be good enough for me. It will be best if the NHL returns to the 1 vs 8 seeding system for the Stanley Cup playoffs as soon as possible. While it's a great idea to foster rivalries and limit travel in the first two rounds, it frequently disadvantages higher-seeded teams. Rewarding the teams that place first in the standings must be the objective.
It's time to return to that format, even though there will still be annoyances and possibly some additional problems that surface. It's time to remove the wild card and stop worrying about rivalry promotion via the division, but there's no reason to give up on the East-West Conferences and go to the competitive 1 through 16 seeding. The best rivalries develop naturally and are undoubtedly intensified by a playoff series or several, but they won't be lost as a result of this move.
• It's great to hear that Toronto will host the NHL All-Star Game in 2024. It won't provide a break from the cold weather, but you can be sure it will be a spectacle.
• Bad news for Mark Stone, the captain of the Vegas Golden Knights, who underwent further back surgery on Tuesday and will be sidelined indefinitely. Stone will undergo another back operation in May 2022, making this his second procedure in less than a year. It's too early to say whether Stone will return to the ice this season, either in the regular season or the playoffs, so it will be interesting to see how that affects the strategy General Manager Kelly McCrimmon employs in the lead-up to the NHL trade deadline.
In the Pacific Division's race for first place, the Golden Knights enter the break one point behind the Seattle Kraken (who have two games in hand), thus it's likely that McCrimmon will look for innovative methods to improve his roster. It might even enable the Golden Knights to take a bigger swing if Stone is unable to return before the end of the regular season. They've suffered with a lot of injuries over the past two seasons, and after going 2-6-2 in the 10 games before the break, they'll be hoping to swiftly turn things around.
