What the EK When will sports (hockey really) realize that money cannot be given out freely without a reason. Just throwing money to make players rich is not the answer. Make a GM do his job and spend wisely. Anyone can throw money around Even a monkey could do that. When does the lunacy stop. Money does not solve the problem it just enhances the problem. NHL relies on gate receipts for a good bit of their revenue. You cannot keep raising prices to offset lunacy. When does someone with brains step in and say THE BUCK STOPS HERE and mean it

So the question is: What consideration, other than legal tender, should NHL players receive as compensation for their services?

Treat them like musicians and pay them with exposure. You won't get evicted, will always have food, and gas for your car.

Is there a possibility that #37 and #55 sign long term extensions in Winnipeg or are they both likely gone?

What the Ek is going on with Morgan Rielly? First he signs an 8-year contract with a NMC. Then you report that Treliving doesn't like him. Then the next day the rumour is he's possibly going to waive his NMC to go to Vancouver, who have no cap space or need for him, but he was born there. Seems like its unravelling very fast.

To be fair, the misspelling of his name wasn't the worst thing that happened to him that day.

EK! Will the NHL change the rule of players coming off LTIR just before playoffs. It is now becoming a thing where a "star player" miraculously becomes healthy for the playoffs. Its making a joke of the league now IMO. I still believe a player should play a certain number of games in order to be eligible or make their salary count towards the cap for a full season including the playoffs.

Why does hockey have the worst offseason in terms of excitement that any other sport? Free agency barley lasts a day.

To Ek, typos and misspellings are a feature, not a bug!
