BC day was a good'er, eh Dude? Nice narritives you create in your man-cave, rocking a grease stained beer-box cutoff and a nasty hangover, but I don't think I'll miss Bonino. I wasn't impressed when Benning gushed about him when he acquired him, and didn't like him last year. Much like Prust, it's not about the player we got, it's about Benning overpaying to land him.
But honestly, it will be good having our twin towers of power, the $5M 4th line bash brothers out there to protect the rest of the lineup.

You LOVED Sestito, Blobby. What's with the selective memory?

Yeah, I know, I'm gonna miss Kassian too. A real foundational player who stuck up for his teammates. Gonna miss his post whistle scrums with refs between him and his yapping from the bench. Gonna really miss his lazy back checks and late, behind the play, meaningless hits. A real player this guy. The kind you build around. Surprised the deal bums you out as from what I am gathering, Prust sounds like yours and Blobbys kind of player, unlike Kassian, he sticks up for his teammates is good defensively, great on the PK. Like Dorsett gives it all every shift, but hey keep on keeping on with your delusions of Kassians worth on the market. Is there a category for the type of players that Shaun O'Brien, Steve Downie and Zack Kassian are? uncoachable, unprofessional, undisciplined - Tough guys who know how to party?

Looks like both LV and QC have successfuly completed "phase 1" and have been invited to take part in "phase 2". I gather all phase will be complete by Sept 4.
15/16 looking more and more like the last of the 30 team universe. Too bad they were a year ealier in the process so that the 15 draft could have gone #1 & #2 to LV & QC. That would have totally pissed off the tankards in EdToBu. I would have loved that!

They are targeting a 17-18 season. Two years from now who can we expose?? Oh the thought of it. I bet a number of teams sign scabs just before the expansion draft just so they can expose them. Where are Ballard and Booth when you need them.

Good point, I wonder if injured players will be permitted to be exposed on expansion waivers, or are they exempt?
It's been so long since we've had expansion I think Bettman will make it up as he goes along. I wonder if the cap recapture will apply if they pick up someone on a long night term deal and need to get to the floor. I wonder if NTC or NMC can be exposed.
We will need to protect Demko and Markstrom so maybe we need to sign an old vet. Oh wait Miller will be available.
There could be hope for us yet to lose a bad contract when all is said and done. With our luck though that would be the year we would have drafted 1st!!
Patty Kane being investigated for rape charges....
Chicago Blackhawks superstar Patrick Kane is the subject of a police probe after an alleged bar incident involving another woman -- and there are reports it's a rape investigation.
