Not surprising. I'd consider Nashville if I was him. They have a good team, with stellar defense and goaltending, and a solid front office.


My guess is he wants a big market that has proven it will spend to cap limits and try to contend every year.

I would want to go there too. But unlike him I'd know being Rick Nash I'm the missing piece to putting that team in legitimate contention. Once that happens to a team on a regular basis they become a big market that is able to spend. But hey who am i

Well then Philly is his team.......... except his contract is an albatross that will wreck any team that is in the situation described above.

Damned if you do, and damned if you don't.

It could also be that he can make more money in a big market doing advertising and things like that.

You know these guys all have agents and the agents are always looking for the extra $$$

That's a potential factor as well...but in Nashville he can bang country music stars

Chevy Chase?

If any player can get a NMC or NTC in his contract when negotiated, I can't fault them for using it. I don't hold it against Nash or any other player who rejects going to a team.

Stephen is your name. And you are the most wanted man on your island...only you're not on your island.

Vokoun did indeed step off the ice here. Not sure if that's just end of his practice. #Caps

VOKOUN!!!!!!

Interesting. The asking price is supposedly a # 1, and Detroit doesn't have one.

I really want Gaustad, eff it give em the pick we have enough young players.

Hmmmm.... nevermind, I was going to go there and then I remembered we have some lovely mixed company.

How does the agent benefit from that???

Classic. Good job my man. Full marks for you.

Just got to work. Have I missed anything other than the Kostitsyn trade?

My guess off to the Leafs.

Think Sean Avery and you'll know the answer.

Not sure...10% is 10%, though

Lunch meeting today at noon. I just know that's when all the good stuff is going to happen and I'll have to play catchup.

Asking price is pretty high, as is his cap hit, I doubt it happens.

I am all about the Flyers trading for a goalie, but not Vokoun.

I would prefer, if the Flyers did trade for a goalie, they would go after a guy who has a proven record in the playoffs.

We are in a situation where we could skip one year without drafting a high prospect but I wouldn't give up a first for Gaustad. Not in this draft.

Brian Burke heading to Mastercard Centre, Sportsnet speculates that he could be having a face to face with a player to be traded. #leafs
