Trying again. Maybe we can start it and send out invites. Maybe if we build it they will come.

Are we gonna get it going again this year. We keep losing people but it would be nice to continue it.

I'm so glad we got Kassian for him. Not like we could use a skilled player up the middle such as him right now.

The push itself isn't too bad. The distance from the boards is what is the worst part. Could easily break his neck. I think that hit, no matter who makes it, on whatever player should be min 5 games.

This was win/win for the Flames IMO. He signs, they make the playoffs and he looks brilliant. They don't make it but he shows the fans he will do anything. They don't come close and trade off guys and get 1 or more firsts anyways and can build around O'Reilly, Bartschi and draft picks. Not like they will be hurting if they offload some guys. Avs match (as they did) and it costs Calgary nothing but screws over Colorado as they have more young stars that will be looking for similar money in the coming years.

I was reading an article about this today on CBC. Apparently Luke Richardson approached Paul Maclean as he wanted to coach the farm team with the same system and everything that the big club was doing. Maclean wanted Richardson to still have some flexibility but they apparently sat down and talked about systems and what terminology they'd use, etc. This has been huge as these guys have come up and haven't had to learn new systems or figure out what certain terminology meant.

Imagine in a couple of years if he improves it just a bit more.

Did you see his shootout goal the other day? Against Jersey I think. Such a deadly wrist shot.

So Edmonton almost got screwed. Got a goal waived off with a minute left that never should have. Yakupov baits the puck out of the air with 4 seconds left to tie it again. Great to see some justice.

They fear me. Generate draft order.

We gonna get the old one going again?

OMG. Tentative deal reached!

I don't really care. I hope there is a long lockout and some of the teams have to fold or move. I'd really like to see the owners eat it this time around. In the mean time. Go Man Utd.

I've mentally prepared myself for no hockey. For sure I will still be disappointed but as I said earlier, I will just watch more of the English Premier League. I've always been a big soccer fan so a lockout will really allow me to get into things even more. If a lockout is avoided then good. Either way, I will always watch and support the NHL but they certainly risk losing a ton of fans in some of the markets.

Well atleast I have the EPL to watch.

I think Carolina wins the division this year. I think they have the bet top 6 and the best goalie. There D is questionable as well as there bottom 6 but I think good enough. On another note, I remember when Salo left and one TSN analyst said it would hurt Vancouver. He said Salo was the glue that held them together. How is a guy who barely plays the glue that holds the D together?

Semin to Carolina. 1 year for 7 million.

I wonder if Ryan goes soon now. I could see Pittsburgh go after him.

I think they should let him go and take the 4 firsts and then go hard after Doan and maybe add Semin on a 1 yer deal to keep fans excited. Also turning some of those picks into Ryan and/or Bouwmeester should be looked at.

Reports say its upwards of 100 million. If it is exactly 100 then his cap hit is about 7.1 and Nashville would get 2 firsts and 1 second and third. If Nashville can afford the upfront cost it's probably more worthwhile to match.

Oh yea. I think that's true. But they could trade his rights To another team who matches the offer.

Yea but if they match they can still trade him for a better return. Probably get 2 first's, a prospect and decent roster player.

Found this:$6,268,176 to $7,835,219 Two first-round picks and a second- and third-round pick.

I guess he wants to stay in Nashville. He has to know they will match. What would the compensation be 3 first round picks?
