Seth will only go to one team - Colorado - he grew up there.

That's an interesting thought and it occurred to me also but I suspect they think Newhook is close enough to being able to fill 2C that they'd rather spend the money on the other UFA's aside from Kadri - Nichushkin, Burakovsky and Kuemper. Especially since Nichushkin and Burakovsky are also on that 2nd line.

Kadri is a lost cause - there's no way he'd take a discount deep enough. It's the only time in my sports watching career I'll be happy for someone on my team walking away with nothing in return. He's going to get a huge payday, I just hope it's out of the conference or at least out of the division - he'd be just about perfect on a team like LA.

Of the UFA's aside from him I'd put the money into Kuemper and Nichushkin.

Salic was there watching Chara. Isles already said they would explore moving him to a contender for a final run at the cup.

OK now, how many teams (Av's) going to get away with adding players to the LTIR so they can make deadline trades to ensure long runs for the cup? Hey "LITTLE" Gary Bettman how long are your going to let the integrity of the game KEEP GOING DOWN THE TOLIET with all this LTIR Garbage? Why don't you just end the season and hand down Lord Stanley to Joe Sakic? Do you think I am going to continue to pay $800.00 a game for my tickets when this FRAUD IS GOING ON? Lawyer turned "CON MAN" is the NATIONAL GARBAGE LEAGUE COMMISSIONER, "LITTLE GARY"!!!

The Avs removed a player from LTIR today (Stefan Matteau) and expect to remove their other player on LTIR (Jacob MacDonald) almost any day. Sakic said publicly almost two weeks ago that if they add anyone at the deadline it will be dollar in for dollar out even if that means including a third team to retain salary.

Beyond all of that I'm not sure why this would be in response to someone joking (I think) about the Avs trading for someone making the league minimum - 750K. Maybe you're kidding also, I have a difficult time figuring that out lately.

Unfortunately, the Avs wouldn't go for that deal as they have a stacked blue line....

How bout Dallas or Anaheim?

Let me get this right...

He meant to slash a player, but missed, and slashed the Linesman.
Because he missed the player he was aiming for and hit someone else (an OFFICIAL) there will be no supplemental discipline.

If MacKinnon was aiming for the player who skated away to MacKinnon's right why did he swing his stick to the left while he was looking to his left where the official was? As a professional hockey player with excellent aim and hand-eye coordination, it appears that he hit his mark.

So the promise of the rumour chart being launched yesterday never happened? Same as the promise from a month ago. I assume each source gave new tidbits of info requiring widespread edits to the percentages. Can't wait. This year will be crazy silly.

I'm still waiting for the next installment in the "Why [insert team] will win the Stanley Cup" series. Mind bender.

A lot of people said he was there for Clutterbuck, too.

The reality is that he was watching two dogpoop teams who are going to sell at the deadline play each other because there are multiple guys on both sides that will be dealt.
