The Horvat trade will be scrutinized until Horvat turns into a legit top six NHL player. If he doesn’t pan out, then of course that trade will have been a failure. By the time you can fairly judge Horvat's ability to be a top six (2-3 years from now at the earliest), Luongo will be 37 -38 and the " ...

Okay Islander, you're officially an ass. You may trust your interpretation of the massive CBA, but I'll go with the general consensus thanks. On the subject of the Flyers..... http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/frequentflyers/Trade-in-works-for-Flyers.html It’s important to note that the first day o ...

No, Franson has steered himself for the big pay-day next year as a UFA - and likely not with T.O. given how these negotiations went down. Wouldn't be surprised if he signs elsewhere for less, or if No-Nuts has to significantly over-pay for his services - even assuming he has an equivalent year this ...

War of Words going on in Ottawa. The League says they won't investigate this, but if I'm the New Jersey Devils I'm asking "Why not!?" Alfredsson admits he and the Senators planned to circumvent the salary cap and that he planned to retire before this past season (where he made only $1M) so that the ...

Should the Canucks offer Brule a tryout? It should be a no brainer (low risk, high reward) http://www.theprovince.com/sports/resurrection+Gilbert+Brule/8668967/story.html It seems like the Kings are shopping Clifford. MG was pretty high on Clifford before trading for Kassian. Does MG have enough to ...

Can't help but wonder if Holmgren's on thin ice....

Carl Hagelin re-signs in NY - 2yrs @ $2.25M per http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=427391 Pretty good comparison to Hansen - similar gritty two way-game, agitators, fast, good on the PK, some offence, both stink on the powerplay - every time the coach puts them out there they stink. You'd think Hansen ...

That's what is so weird about cap circumvention. Clearly the Flyers are circumventing the cap by keeping a retired player on LTIR. Clearly the Islanders are circumventing the cap when they trade for, then suspend, then don't pay Tim Thomas but use a loophole to have it count against the cap floor ...

Somewhere Jewie's little heart is breaking.

I remember the time one of his handles suggested Lecavalier's #4 would be retired league wide after he retired. Hell, Ballard's #4 will be retired before Lecavalier's is

Well I guess all the Ryan O'Reilly offer sheet shit has been swept under the rug

Seen that they said Gonchar can help with the young kids, me thinks they are just going to flip him at the deadline for a 1st or 2nd rounder.

Good signing by Dallas.

Newsy Lalonde calls him the best passing defenseman he's ever played against

Another blown call by Shanny.

Volchenkov was protecting himself as Marchand was taking a run at him

Two thumbs down

Shouldn't take Sherman too long...I mean how many teams are actually worse than the Flames?
