Second best league in the world. He wasn't a good enough Top 6 here, so he's a top 6 in the second best league in the world.

Or bottom 6.

They fact that Vey is a KHL all star and Yakupov is a KHL bust just goes to show how bad that pick was for Edmonton.

Vey wasn't the greatest NHL player but he wasn't a (frank)en bum.

Or bottom 6.

You have to have that required skill set for bottom 6 still. Personally, i'd rather have 3 scores lines on every team and 1 energy line. 4-3 games instead of 3-2 would be a bit more interesting.

Just saw the Reverse Retro jersey's for next season. I think they will look much better out on the ice in the full gear.

carolina/whalers jersey is the clear winner.... by far!!!!!!

the canucks went for the louie erikson of jerseys. everyone knows it sucks but the fanboys will buy it up.

whalers/blues/kings I thought were all really well done. The rest are mediocre and some are gross.

Yeah I actually like it too. Not quite in the same tiers as the ones I mentioned above, but definitely not bad

Wife and I were just looking at them and some of them seem as if altering the colours and such would have been just too hard and wouldn't work. A lot of the retro jersey's have been done in 3rd jersey's before too so limited in the options.

Still think a lot could be better.

Can't wait to see those out on the ice. One of the best jerseys in NA sports imo

the potential of how good the avs, ducks, wings, canadiens, wild/north stars, coyotes/nordiques. There could have been some unreal concepts

This is a place where I think the NHL once again drops the ball more often than not and should take a lesson from Euro soccer teams.

Soccer teams change the jersey's slightly every season. Players change quite often in soccer which helps but when Ronaldo joined Juventus, they paid like 120M euros for him but it was believed that his jersey sales in that year were close to 100M alone.

NHL should charge a little less for the jersey's, get some sponsors on the jersey's, and at least every two-three years change the jersey so fans buy a new one.

Here's Man U changes over the years.

my number 1 favorite logo is stick in the rink, but I would take the V any day of the week over that dumb Orca logo

The V is a disaster of a jersey.

I'm not really a fan of stick in rink, it's really boring. I'm among those who don't mind the orca, but if it were to change I'd want the flying skate back.

Happy Monday!

New blog is up, with some thoughts on the Reverse Retro jersey and another surge in interest in Gino for the Ring of Honour...
