So I’ve been mulling over some ideas on how to improve the NHL’s salary cap. I think we know the NHL’s cap has issues, and this is proven in contracts such as Kovalchuk’s, Luongo’s, Hossa’s and more. As well, I think the guaranteed contracts are a bit of an issue (but I have a pretty ...
Wednesday and Thursday of this week, the NHL will be putting to test some proposed rule changes during the the 2010 NHL Research, Development and Orientation Camp in Toronto. Some of the top prospects for the 2011 Entry Draft will be present, including current number one ranked prospect (by ISS) Sean Couturier of the Drummondville ...
The title of this article sounds like some sort of ski or snowboard movie, possibly starring a young Keanu Reeves or Christian Slater. However, I’m of course talking about teams like the Devils and Canucks and Flyers who have successfully or not so successfully (looking at you, Holmgren) circumvented the NHL’s salary cap. There are ...
Around the NHLSo for starters, special thanks to Suzanne Grassel and Michael DiLorenzo at NHL.com for setting me up with a trial account to check out Gamecenter Live. Due to some internet problems in my old location, I didn’t have much chance to test it out (although what I did see.. wow). I finally got a chance ...
Around the NHLWell, today is the final day to make any trades, as of 3PM EST (1PM MST). Will we see anything happen, or will it be a whole lot of smoke for nothing? We figured we’d start up one place to gather all the day’s trades and rumors. We won’t be putting down every dinky little ...
Around the NHL, OilersWell these will be the standings until the beginning of March, however I will continue to use the space to highlight what has happened at the Olympics as well (and not just hockey). The Oilers…well, they are just not that good. Its going to be a super interesting right after the Olympic break, but I am starting ...
Around the NHL, OlympicsHuzzah! A victory! Feels damn good, now hopefully they can put together a few more (I don’t subscribe to this tanking crap). I’d like to see this team stop being an embarrassment and actually start playing like they give a shit (much like last night, although I didn’t watch it because it was a PPV ...
Around the NHLSo it has finally happened. Rock bottom. The dream of the Taylor Hall sweepstakes is slowly becoming a reality. That doesn’t mean he’s ours though. We aren’t even guaranteed a top 3 pick at this point in the season, but it certainly seems to be a strong indicator. Rumors abound about when and where Shelly ...
OilersFor a post elsewhere, I did some research to see how the top 3 picks were turning out, and thought it might be an interesting post to talk about here, given that there is a lot of worry that even if we do pick in the top 3, the pick could be a dud. That ...
OilersThis shit is embarrassing. I hate the fact that this team has become the laughing stock of the league. And I still have 5 or 6 more games in my mini-packs. Just garbage. Katz, Tambellini or Lowe, I don’t care who, you need to fix this. Unless I see something that indicates that you are ...
