Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Seems like discrimination. There are probably lots of potential NHL coaches grilling weenies. Graham James? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X. Benedict Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Graham James? I was thinking Sahlens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJFIVEOH Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Down to Gallant and Bylsma for Panthers' head coach. I hope it's Gallant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Down to Gallant and Bylsma for Panthers' head coach. I hope it's Gallant. If Desjardins goes to Pittsburgh and Gallant goes to Florida I would say Bylsma heads to Vancouver by default. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I dislike him, there's no way he starts the season without a job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted June 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 UFA D Nikita Nikitin CBJ has had his rights shipped out to EDM. Looks like they are attempting to bolster their pathetic defense. I don't think they get Ekblad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Oh! Dear! Me! I hesitated.....it's like an Army Sniper with PTSD seeing a squirrel eating an acorn on the hood of his Camaro.....sometimes you just have to take the shot....

LGR4GM Posted June 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Should add that Bob McKenzie is saying the trade only occurs if EDM can work out a deal with NIkitin. If not there is no trade. So basically it is conditional on EDM getting a contract signed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted June 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) I am so excited for the deep hatred and fiery competition that comes from the long and heated Chicago v. Washington rivalry. Many other teams around the league and even in other sports wish they had such a storied and historic rivalry. It even eclipses Boston v NY in terms of its passion. F##k you Gary Bettman, f##k you. Edited June 20, 2014 by LGR4GM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) The other outdoor game is rumored to be San Jose vs whoever. There is only supposedly two games this year, but there are already rumors about many games two years from now. I would limit it to 2-3 a year. Otherwise it's not unique anymore. I'm annoyed about Chicago, too. I would say that they couldn't do Pittsburgh because they've been in an outdoor game recently, but so has Chicago (PIT and CHI played each other in one last season). I don't think they're targeting team rivalries anymore as much as decent matchup that from cities that may draw ratings. I think Minnesota and Colorado should get outdoor games very soon. Colorado and Anaheim would be fun. Minnesota could play old west rival Detroit. Edited June 20, 2014 by Tankalicious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think part of the issue is probably the cost of putting the event on and they want it offset, if not completely covered, by sponsor money. So, the "bigger" the game, and the larger the market, the higher the cost of sponsorship. Follow the money... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 The NHL Shift: News and notes, 6/20/2014 Islanders Update In the five weeks since The Shift reported that the sale of the New York Islanders to Andrew Barroway is in the hands of Charles Wang, the Islanders’ current owner, Wang has not moved to complete a deal. However, specifics of the potential agreement have been confirmed with sources close to the seller, the buyer and the NHL: • Barroway is seeking to become the majority owner and purchase 80 percent of the team. “He wants decision-making authority and the ability to bring in his own people,” said a source. • The agreed-upon value of the club is around $400 million.

nobody Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 CHI will be WSH's opponent in the 2015 Winter Classic. I'm thinking the NHL picked Chicago to show the NFL how to have an appropriate team nickname. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 So no Richards? Don't want him, but I'm sure Timmy kicked the tires as part of his salary dump scheme. For the Rangers, there no incentive. It's only money. Richards, Lecavalier, Thornton, Marleau, the Canucks would love to dump the Sedins if they could. There sure is a helluvalot of evidence that teams signing an older guy to a big deal are going to regret it. I wonder how this will effect the cash being tossed at guys like Vanek.
