Write up today on Ehrhoff stated that he's still an NHL defenseman, just not for Darryl Sutter. Other issues here.

Yeah I wonder what's up with that.

Despite the move not entirely working out, there really can be little blame to the Ehrhoff move. As stated on twitter earlier in the morning, Ehrhoff has been about the worst Kings defensemen in terms of transitioning. While our personal season zone exit tracking numbers are not entirely up to date, Ehrhoff was only clicking at a rate of 68% on zone exits via pass. These are essential numbers in the Kings system, which thrives on the defenseman being THE GUY to start breakouts. We have gone over the Kings breakout numerous times, and for those wondering why the defenseman is the key cog in the breakout (along with the center)

Ehrhoff is a good player, and will be a good player on another team (If he is claimed). In a more free flowing, carry based system like Pittsburgh.

"Ehrhoff can still be an NHL defenseman. Just not for Darryl Sutter. Seemed ill-fitting from start."

Leave Weber with Utica, claim Hoffer.

Word is that Carey Price has been shut down for the season. Although he continues to improve through his rehab it is unlikely that he will see the net until training camp. They are now said to be actively shopping for a top tier goaltender as making the playoffs, and going deep are their priorities.

Now I imagine their first priority will be to hunt for an expiring contract as rumours are circulating that they are looking at Reimer. Howard's name has come up too. Wonder if Miller would waive?

Although Miller is not on an expiring contract and his six million per may not be manageable for them next season.

Mike Yeo right now..still.

Looks like the Islanders want out of Barclay's, and Barclay's wants them out too.

Who wouldn't want to shell out the money to watch two-thirds of a hockey game?

I hope Price is good to go for the World Cup.

No entrance to the lockerooms from the benches at Barclays either...

If I'm Montreal I say hell no to that. Besides, we have Luongo

So a silver medal then. Anyway it would be Holtby...

I think Price will be good to go.

Apparently an out clause at year 4 and both the Islanders and Barclay' s are not happy with the current arrangement and the Islanders have started looking elsewhere. Nassau Coliseum's new renos make it too small for an NHL venue.

Shawn Thornton extended. One year, $600,000.

He wanted to come here. Too bad we didn't pick him up instead of Prust.

After his shenanigans with 'the sisters' that one game, colour me skeptical - unless that was a bit of sour grapes gamesmanship.

Never had time for that knuckle-dragger, but considering what Prust is doing for us...
