Re: Should Kane be re-signed?

I voted yes at a discount...not a discount from his salary this season but some where saying he could get like 6 mil on the open market which is a bit much. He has the hands, vision, can create space for himself and other players and quite deadly one on one with a goalie. I like him better than Debr...

Re: AZ francize in "transition" to where? and to what?

Sure. Whoever buys the ‘yotes may try to move them to Canada too. However, the Jets are in financial trouble again for the same reason the original franchise was - not enough corporate revenue. I’d suspect that’s a problem for Ottawa as well. Houston, Atlanta, San Diego, San Francisco, Baltimore, O...

Re: Red Wings Assign Ville Husso On Conditioning Loan

"Husso can spend up to 14 days in Grand Rapids on a conditioning loan, which would keep him there through the end of the regular season. His $4.75MM cap hit continues to count against Detroit’s books in full. If the Red Wings make the playoffs, he can be recalled and would likely sit in the pr...

Re: AZ francize in "transition" to where? and to what?

The population of the Metro area is < 1.5 million. Not a top 40 market in the US & Canada. In a league with only 32 teams, that makes them minor league sized. You have to figure in the fact that hockey is a religion in Canada and that there are at least twice the # of fans (at least) per metro ...

Re: AZ francize in "transition" to where? and to what?

Sens had at least 50MM (or was it 500MM) in debt the new owner had to pay, that is why Ryan Reynolds and snoop Dog teams dropped out when they learned this! And they’re stuck in a minor league market working with currency worth 70 cents on the dollar compared to 26 other teams in the league. Whoeve...

Sens had at least 50MM (or was it 500MM) in debt the new owner had to pay, that is why Ryan Reynolds and snoop Dog teams dropped out when they learned this! That was because Melnyk bought the team on a credit card so to speak. He didn't have the cash to pay it all his money was tied up in businesse...

Re: AZ francize in "transition" to where? and to what?

The league charged Seattle 650 mil for the expansion fee in 2017. Vegas’ was 500 mil just a year earlier. Arizona has Clayton Keller, 5 recent top 15 picks in their stable, etc. A billion is relatively cheap. The new owner will either relocate them or get a sweetheart arena deal. Someone will pay c...

Re: AZ francize in "transition" to where? and to what?

It’s a team in the NHL but they’re playing in an unsustainable (damn you Pops) market in a university stadium, who’s dropping a billion on that. The fact Bettman wants to keep the team there is delusional The league charged Seattle 650 mil for the expansion fee in 2017. Vegas’ was 500 mil just a ye...

Re: GDT: Buffalo @ Detroit, 1 p.m., Sunday

I think the next 3 games are must win for them and so are the last two against the Habs. They also need to win against the Caps and Pens in regulation to avoid giving them points to hang around. That’s 5 of 6 remaining games. If they win all 5 of them it won’t matter much what anyone else does. If ...
