Weekly NHL Rumours – PTOs and other stories from around the league
We are one month away from the start of the NHL season! He only scored nine goals in 36 KHL games last season and in his last NHL season, he only had five goals in 38 games. How are the Oilers going to get cap compliant? My guess: his salary more than doubles and he takes over for Connor McDavid as the highest-paid player in the NHL. : On Thursday, January 12th, we’re jumping on a flight at the Edmonton International Airport and making our way to Vegas.

Poorest nations to push on compensation at climate talks
DAKAR: The world’s poorest countries say they will insist that the UN’s upcoming climate talks push ahead with proposals for a fund to compensate vulnerable nations for climate-inflicted damage. In a statement issued late on Wednesday ahead of the November climate talks, they said that setting up a funding mechanism for loss and damage was of "crucial importance." Wealthy countries have previously promised billions of dollars to help poorer nations avert carbon emissions and build resilience against climate change. It wants the upcoming talks to establish a mechanism to provide funding.

In defiance of the Geneva conventions
The action constitutes a blatant violation of the Geneva Convention and the UN resolutions on the Kashmir dispute. After the end of World War II, as a consequence of the initiative taken by the International Committee of Red Cross, the Diplomatic Conference for the Establishment of International Convention for Protection of Victims of War was held in Geneva which adopted the 4th Geneva Convention on 12 August 1949. In 1993, the United Nations Security Council adopted a report from the Secretary-General and a Commission of Experts which concluded that the Geneva Conventions had passed into the body of customary international law, thus making them binding even on non-signatories to the Conventions whenever they engage in armed conflicts. Through the foregoing actions, India has not only torn asunder the 4th Geneva Convention but has also pummeled the UN resolutions in regards to the plebiscite besides breaching international law with impunity. Those who cry hoarse from every convenient forum to pronounce their humanitarian credentials and adherence to international law, UN Charter, and UN Conventions, need to rattle their conscience.

ADB to give Pakistan $1.5b at higher cost
The Central Development Working Party – the country’s project sanctioning authority –on Wednesday gave a go-ahead to the concept clearance proposal for the $1.5 billion loan under the BRACE programme (Building Resilience with Active Countercyclical Expenditures). ADB will provide a $1.25 billion loan out of its ordinary capital resource at an interest rate of Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 0.75%, plus a surcharge. The $1.25 billion is being secured for seven years, which is also 18 years shorter than the standard loan tenure of ADB. The Planning Commission has objected to taking the $1.25 billion loan at a higher rate. One of the reasons behind the delay is said to be a coordinated move between the ADB and the World Bank for budget support lending to Pakistan.

PK Subban might find his best price as an in season free agent option
Let me start by saying this isn’t making a case for Subban coming to the Leafs. Making room for Subban would likely mean not only moving Justin Holl, but one other defenseman to have a spot for PK in the lineup. He still has talents that can be marketed well above that range and he is likely trying to get his price. That’s why I’m not expecting to see Subban in Leafs blue this season. Not as ideal as getting signed when free agency opens, but perhaps better than sneaking in under the cap ceiling.

Report: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is open to signing a long term deal with the Blue Jays
With many highly touted young stars getting signed to long-term contracts, it begs the question of when Vladimir Guerrero Jr. will get his. According to Héctor Gómez, Guerrero Jr is open to signing a long-term deal with the team as he loves playing in Canada. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. on a possible contract extension: “Im open to signing a long term deal with the #BlueJays. While it’s hard to call these deals “team friendly”, these deals could realistically keep them off the free agent market. Without a doubt, Vlad deserves a long-term deal worth a lot of money.

Ross Stripling has been this year’s Marco Estrada (and should be part of the Blue Jays’ plans moving forward)
The Blue Jays won the game handily and have a chance to take four of five from the Rays on Thursday afternoon with Kevin Gausman on the hill. There’s no understating how valuable Stripling has been to the Blue Jays this season. The Blue Jays and Estrada ultimately agreed to a two-year contract that paid him $11.5 million in 2016 and $14.5 million in 2017. While the Blue Jays might want to avoid a multi-year deal given his age, giving Stripling a qualifying offer should be automatic. He left in free agency and the Blue Jays replaced him by signing Kikuchi to a three-year deal worth $36 million.
