Frank Nazar is off to a good start in the AHL, with 24 points in 20 games. His production ranks him first among rookies and fifth in the AHL. Why am I talking about Nazar? He’s the player the Chicago Blackhawks selected with one of the two 2022 draft picks, thirteenth overall, that the Canadiens gave up for Kirby Dach. This pick was obtained from the New York Islanders in return for defenseman Aleksandr Romanov and the Habs’ fourth-round pick, the 98th, which became defenseman Isaiah George. The second was a third-round pick, 66th overall, with which Chicago drafted forward Gavin Hayes. So, to sum up, the Canadiens gave away Romanov (or a 13th-round pick, depending on your point of view), a third-round pick and a fourth-round pick to acquire Dach. It’s a high price to pay, especially since the big forward is having a difficult, not to say disastrous, season. In 27 games, he has just one goal for a meagre total of eight points and a minus-21 rating. Ouch! For the man we were sold during the off-season as the team’s second established center, this is rather disappointing. Yes, Dach is coming off a lengthy injury, and Patrik Laine’s injury forced him to play part of the season with allies who aren’t top-six material (not to mention Alex Newhook, who’s also having a tough season). However, after three games since Laine’s return, Dach has no points on his record playing with the Finn. And meanwhile, Romanov is doing a fine job defensively with the Islanders, playing an average of 21:35 minutes per game on the first pair of defensemen. The kind of defenseman the Canadiens could really use right now. Although the trade made sense from a rebuilding point of view, it’s not really Kent Hughes’ best move yet. On the other hand, if Frank Nazar becomes a star player in the NHL, it’s a trade that could also hurt us in the long run. But that’s all hypothetical. A good start in the AHL is absolutely no guarantee of a good career on the National Line. What’s more, I think we need to be patient with Dach. It’s not easy to recover from a double ligament tear in the knee , and we have to give him time to find his beat and hope he returns to the same level of play as before his injury.

And CrowdStrike stock appears to have recovered. That's the verdict from stock analysts, crisis management experts and industries impacted by the July 19 outage. The outage cost an estimated $10 billion in damages and affected thousands of clients using CrowdStrike's cybersecurity software. It also interrupted the lives of millions of people. The company still faces some financial headwinds as it continues to compensate clients over the episode. Indeed, many analysts say just yet. But it's getting high marks for its recovery efforts. "It's been a master class in how to handle that kind of situation," JMP Securities analyst Trevor Walsh told Investor's Business Daily. He added: "I haven't heard anything in the months and weeks since from anyone talking about how it was badly handled." Others on Wall Street echo those sentiments. D.A. Davidson analyst Rudy Kessinger said in a September note to clients that his brokerage surveyed two dozen CrowdStrike customers and came away with the "clear assurance" that CrowdStrike did everything it could to address customers' needs following the outage, and it was forthcoming about it. "Some customers indicated they had never seen such levels of transparency before, with some even suggesting they would 'double down' on (CrowdStrike) because of it," Kessinger wrote. A Return To Normal For CrowdStrike Stock Indeed, CrowdStrike's stock price suggests a return to normalcy. Its share price fell nearly half in less than a month — from the stock's July 9 peak to its Aug. 5 trough. Since then, 80%. It's back above where it was on July 18, the day before the outage, and is approaching that July 9 peak again. Investor's Business Daily in its computer software-security group, right behind ( ). It gets a Composite Rating of 95, out of a possible 99. Its Earnings Per Share Rating is 97 while its Relative Strength Rating is 84. But there are some lingering effects that could put some speed bumps in the road for CrowdStrike stock. For one, it still faces a major lawsuit from one of its customers, ( ). The carrier estimated it canceled more than 6,000 flights over five days, affecting 1.3 million passengers as a result of the outage. in damages. Offering Free Services Further, CrowdStrike continues to compensate affected customers through various means — including deep discounts on expanded services. Those are expected to impact the company's financials well into next year. For the company's 2025 fiscal third quarter, which ended in October, on a key metric, annual recurring revenue or ARR, for the fourth quarter ending in January. ARR is tied to subscription services growth. "The ongoing headwinds from more customer commitment packages will likely move consensus ARR estimates lower for the next few quarters," BMO Capital Markets analyst Keith Bachman said when in late November. The the cybersecurity company is reporting a 97% customer retention rate. "Depending on need, our customer commitment packages encompass additional modules, professional services, flexible payment terms as well as discounts and extended duration to a customer's subscription," the company said in a prepared statement. "The leading mechanism for these packages is our Falcon Flex program, which provides customers with access to any and all modules they wish at compelling economic values." 'Blue Screen Of Death' On July 19, millions of workers were greeted with a "blue screen of death" on their computers. That screen shows up when 's ( ) Windows operating system gets jammed. The reason for the jam was that CrowdStrike issued an automatic update to its Falcon Sensor security software, designed to detect attacks on certain Windows-based systems. But the update provided too many "input fields," causing system crashes on an estimated 8.5 million computers worldwide. Those who rebooted found that it reintroduced the error to their computers. Factories, hotels, retailers, emergency services and government offices were all hit. Particularly hard hit were financial institutions and health care providers. Airlines took a body blow, forcing them to strand passengers for some time. About six weeks after the outage, in late August, CrowdStrike itself for the year as a result. At the time, however, it managed to beat second-quarter earnings predictions. CrowdStrike's quick response won the company praise from a number of circles. It also didn't hurt that the company's president, Michael Sentonas, days after the outage to accept a trophy for the "most epic fail" in the industry. A Razzie award of sorts, the move probably won over a sizable number of those affected by the outage. Sentonas vowed to display the award prominently to remind staffers of what could happen. "It always helps to own up to a mistake and take responsibility," said Kelcey Kintner, senior vice president at Red Banyan, a crisis management PR firm based in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. "There was no way for CrowdStrike to hide from this. The company had to lean in, and own it." CrowdStrike Stock: Holding It Accountable In written responses to IBD, Kintner praised CrowdStrike for its response to its clients. But she says they could have done more to communicate with the customers of those clients. "They missed the mark on apologizing to all the people that sat in airports for days, the everyday individuals that missed weddings, funerals, and other impactful life events," she said. "The company needed to communicate to those folks directly in a really transparent, impactful and human way. That was the missing piece in their response." Kintner says it's difficult for consumers at the end of the chain to hold the cybersecurity firm accountable. "It's a lot easier to stop or stop — both brands that suffered from severe customer backlash after a crisis," she said. Making Lemonade From Lemons Still, the company appears to be making lemonade from lemons. It's offering trial runs to affected customers on additional products — much like a cable company offering free HBO to subscribers. That gives CrowdStrike a chance to ultimately sell more goods and services. "As our (Chief Executive) George Kurtz stated in our Q3 earnings, Q3 gross retention was over 97%, and customers are spending more, entering into longer subscription terms, and taking the opportunity to achieve their consolidation objectives faster," a CrowdStrike spokesperson said in a written statement for IBD. Kintner notes that CrowdStrike has become more high profile as a result of the crisis. She says that could work in the company's favor. "Most people had never heard of CrowdStrike before July 19th. Now they certainly have," she said. "And even though the whole experience was an enormous PR nightmare, the company can potentially build on that name recognition as they move in the right direction. Everybody loves a comeback story." Seeking Delta Lawsuit Dismissal Perhaps the biggest obstacle for CrowdStrike is the Delta lawsuit, which alleges negligence against the cybersecurity software maker. Delta claims CrowdStrike "forced untested and faulty updates to its customers." CrowdStrike called Delta's allegations "spurious" in a recent a 39-page motion to dismiss the case. It added that the pact between the two precludes the airline from seeking $500 million in damages. Neither Delta nor its attorneys returned messages seeking comment on the proposed dismissal. But CrowdStrike points out the airline remains a customer. Ultimately, CrowdStrike stock analysts are largely pleased with how the company has handled the crisis so far. "While the company will face some lingering headwinds over the next 12 months as a consequence of the IT outage, it does not change our positive long-term view of CrowdStrike," Wedbush Securities analyst Daniel Ives said in a recent note to clients. He added the company "remains the gold standard for cybersecurity with the outage only representing a dark chapter" in its growth path.

Trump promises to end birthright citizenship: What is it and could he do it?December 8 - New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr sustained a left hand injury and possible concussion in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 14-11 victory over the New York Giants. The Saints feared Carr fractured the hand, per reports, and he was slated to undergo further testing. He reportedly had a cast on the hand when exiting the stadium. Saints interim coach Darren Rizzi said Carr may have to enter the concussion protocol. Carr was injured when he tried to leap for a first down late in the final quarter. He was near the sideline and went airborne, landing hard on the left hand with this face then slamming into the turf as he landed out of bounds with 3:59 left in the game. Jake Haener finished up the game for the Saints. Carr completed 20 of 31 passes for 219 yards, one touchdown and one interception for New Orleans. Overall, Carr has passed for 2,145 yards, 15 touchdowns and five interceptions this season. He missed three games earlier this season due to an oblique injury. --Field Level Media Our Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles. , opens new tab

Police track and rescue toddler abducted from Rivers to AbujaThe Seattle Seahawks placed leading rusher Kenneth Walker III on injured reserve due to an ankle injury and signed George Holani off the practice squad on Thursday afternoon. Walker had been ruled out earlier in the day ahead of Thursday's game against the host Chicago Bears. He returned from a two-game absence due to an ailing calf on Sunday before injuring his ankle in the Seahawks' 27-24 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Zach Charbonnet is set to shoulder the load in the backfield for the Seahawks (8-7), who have lost two in a row heading into Thursday's game against the Bears (4-11). Seattle is in a must-win situation. Even if the Seahawks can top Chicago and beat the Los Angeles Rams in Week 18, they still might miss out on the postseason because of the strength-of-victory tiebreaker. Walker, 24, leads Seattle in carries (153) and rushing yards (573) to go along with seven rushing touchdowns. Charbonnet, 23, has a team-best eight rushing touchdowns to go along with 106 carries for 453 yards. Holani, who turned 25 on Dec. 16, has three carries for 10 yards in three games this season. He is an undrafted rookie out of Boise State. The Seahawks also ruled out tight end Brady Russell (foot) and safety K'Von Wallace (ankle) for Thursday's game. Cornerback Artie Burns was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster for the contest. The Bears will be without defensive backs Elijah Hicks (ankle/foot) and Tarvarius Moore (knee), running back Travis Homer (hamstring) and offensive lineman Teven Jenkins (calf). --Field Level Media
