And Peters says it will also include the winter classic. A trifecta.

Word has it .. the stadium will be at the spot of the perry st projects.

They interviewed some people and had it on the news last night that live in that area. They didn't seem too happy. I say too bad.

Co-worker with friends downtown confirmed that is the target by Terry. Of all those boarded up towers there are only a handful of tenants and their leases are up at the end of the year and won't be renewed.

A friend of mine plays softball every summer at one of the baseball diamonds over there. When the guy that runs the league went to renew the permit for next year, he was told no because they were told not to allow any permits to be placed on anything in that area.

Seems like it's just the draft, still good news though.

The draft could lead to other opportunities though.

I would guess. Its tough to hold on All-Star in wintery downtown Buffalo in January. The seem to like to hold that in warmer places with the exception of Toronto and Montreal. VERY exciting though.

They did it in Ottawa so there is no reason why we couldn't do it. Columbus has it this year and they can get equally as cold.

If you try hard you win. Nothing else matters.

Here we go again one game ine...Bob McKenzie and Darren Dreger reporting that myers is on the trade block..

If it's only the draft why meet with the mayor?

Could be both my guy is still saying it's the All Star Game

Both are equally large events, I could see why bettman would want to meet with the mayor.

The draft is two days inside the arena you don't get all the fan fare that an All Star Game brings. Not to mention all of the new winter activities being built canal side is something worth showcasing so I'm still thinking it's in the winter aka all star game

I want it to be an all star game and winter classic.

An outdoor all star game perhaps? Too bad the stadium isn't downtown already

True, but I viewed the Columbus thing as pitty for a slower market.

I meant more that they aren't sold out 5 years in advance for not have a Sidney Crosby.

Yep. Not sure how I feel about this.

I dk if I hate it he has not impressed me in preseason or last night....he seems to still take a lot of bad angles and be out of position especially when it comes to the opposing blue line..idk if the received a good offer I hope they would listen

According to Murray after the draft, Myers and Foligno were guys that they were quote going forward with.

I don't understand the need to move him. Unless they are 100% sold that Ristolainen is a franchise defensemen
