In the small world department, I have a close friend who lives on a small lake in Novi (less than 60 homes on the lake).
This incident occurred on that lake.

Just 6 weeks ago he led Latvia to a win over Canada’s the World Championships and now he’s dead. Fucking awful.

Sources: Mattias Kivlenieks accident was at Columbus Blue Jackets goalie coach's house
Blue Jackets goaltender Matiss Kivlenieks was at the home of Columbus goaltending coach Manny Legace when the fireworks accident happened that resulted in his death Sunday, multiple sources confirmed to ESPN.
Kivlenieks and teammate Elvis Merzlikins traveled to Novi, Michigan, where Legace lives, to celebrate July Fourth, as well as the wedding of Legace's daughter over the holiday weekend.
Legace, 48, has worked with the Blue Jackets since 2018 and had an 11-year NHL career, including a Stanley Cup title with the Red Wings in 2002.
An autopsy revealed on Monday that Kivlenieks died from chest trauma from a mortar-style firework at a backyard celebration. Kivlenieks was 24.
Lt. Jason Meier of the Novi Police Department told ESPN on Monday that Kivlenieks was in a hot tub and tried to avoid the firework, along with several other people. Meier added that all signs showed that it was a "tragic accident." The percussive injury caused major damage to Kivlenieks' heart and lungs.

NHL Expansion Draft: Predicting the Blue Jackets' Protected List
Expansion Draft Overview: Columbus Blue Jackets
On July 21, the Seattle Kraken will select one player from each team except Vegas in the NHL Expansion Draft. The 30 teams are able to protect seven forwards, three defensemen and one goalie. They also have the option to protect eight skaters and one goalie. However, there are a few conditions that need to be met.
Players with no move clauses who opt to not waive these rights need to be protected. On top of that, most players on entry-level contracts and unsigned draft picks will be exempt from selection. Plus, players who don’t meet the minimum number of games played will be exempt.
Teams will need to expose one defenseman and two forwards who are under contract and meet the required number of games played. Teams will also have the option to expose one goalie who is under contract for this upcoming season or one who will be a restricted free agent once their contract is up.
The Protected Forwards
The thing about the Columbus Blue Jackets for this expansion draft is they don’t have many players that they can’t protect. This is very beneficial for them, so they don’t lose a star player in the expansion draft.
Columbus’ core of veteran players like Cam Atkinson, Gus Nyquist and Boone Jenner will probably be protected. Other forwards that are likely to be protected are Patrik Laine, Oliver Bjorkstrand, Max Domi and Jack Roslovic since they are still in their prime years as players. Because they’ll choose to protect seven forwards, Columbus will go with the protection method of 7-3-1.
Now, Patrik Laine doesn’t technically need to be protected since he is not under contract for this upcoming season. Columbus may opt to protect him to expose another forward to meet the required number of exposed players. For the same reason as Laine, Alexandre Texier is not eligible for exposure because he is not under contract.
The Protected Defensemen
Since Columbus is protecting seven forwards, that means they will protect three defensemen. This is a no-brainer for them as they’ll choose to protect their top three defensemen. Despite the recent issues for not wanting to sign an extension, Columbus will opt to protect Jones with the intent to trade him later on. The other two defensemen that they will likely protect are Vladislav Gavrikov and Zach Werenski.
Michael Del Zotto, Mikko Lehtonen and Andrew Peeke don’t need to be protected because they’re not under contract for this upcoming season.
The Protected Goalie
Of the three goalies on Columbus’ roster, Elvis Merzlikins is the only one who is ineligible to be selected. That is due to Merzlikins not playing the required number of games yet. That makes Columbus’ job a lot easier as they’ll opt to protect Joonas Korpisalo. The only other goaltender on their roster is Cam Johnson who is currently unsigned.

2021 mock NHL expansion draft: Geoff Baker predicts how the Kraken’s picks could play out
Columbus Blue Jackets: Slim pickings here, so we’ll go with stay-at-home defenseman Dean Kukan, 28, for the bottom-four pairing. Cap hit: $1.65 million.

Apparently the Blue Jackets didn't protect Max Domi in the expansion draft.

BLUE JACKETS ANNOUNCE PROTECTED LIST: DOMI, STENLUND, AND KUKAN EXPOSED
Notable unprotected players include Max Domi, Kevin Stenlund, and Dean Kukan. Domi will miss at least the first month of the season after undergoing shoulder surgery, and he'll be an unrestricted free agent afterward. The Blue Jackets are betting on Seattle passing him up and selecting either Stenlund or Kukan, but if the Kraken think they can sign him to a contract extension, Domi could be their pick.
Here's the list, broken down by position:

Eh, no issues with leaving Domi unprotected. He’s having shoulder surgery and is going to miss a good chunk of the season. Just daring Seattle to take a gamble on him. My money’s on Kukan going.
