I think a lot of the problem with aligning the NHL is that almost 3/4 of the teams are in the Eastern & Central timezones, and the West is geographically dispersed. Not to mention rivalries, original 6 considerations, and the fact Bettman is an idiot. |
Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
I hate the travel argument as I want to see more travel not less.
Part of my reason for not getting season tickets this year is I am done watching pacific teams 6 damn times each in one season. I get to see Eastern teams often once every 2 years and the Ducks too many damn times. A balanced schedule would be nice. |
Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
Nice pick by the Bruins in the draft. I was surprised to see Hamilton fall to #9.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
Huh. I think San Jose just over paid with that trade for a defenseman.

Hawks trade Brower for a pick (I was sure he wasn;t going to be back), then shed 4.1 MIL is salary by trading Campbell to Tallon's Panthers for Olesz. A downgrade for sure, but between Troy, Brian and the salary cap bump, they have $12 MIL per year to lock up Patrick Sharp and sign some FAs. |
Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
If it was straight up or Seto and this years pick okay, but Coyle was a stud this year and some of us fans thought he had a bright future. Played on US Jr team last year as well.
Seto signed for 3 years Burns is a UFA after this season. Seto is only 24 also. Nice ditching soupys K. Wish Sharks could move Heatley. Seto package was only way I saw that happening so now Sharks are stuck with that also. |
Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
Ohh I agree Burns is solid big puck moving Dman whos a righthand shot. I think hes a good Dman, but also has a concussion history.
Just hope this works out and hes with yhe club more then 1 year. Going to really sting if that happens. |
Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
Not familiar with Coyle, thanks for the heads up.
Trade Burns straight up for Rostislav Olesz? :D |
Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
So many trades! Hawks dumped a bunch of salary. Campbell was getting overpaid so I thought that was a good move.
Sharks getting a big upgrade on D. It is kinda tough giving up Setogutchi though in what could just be a year rental. Wings again trade their first round pick, for additional second rounders. Gotta checkout who these new guys are. |

Hawks got Saad mid 2nd round, he was rated as high as #6 before his groin injury. Could be a sleeper! :tu

Follow the money. If travel costs is really the deal breaker, it'll be reflected in the final outcome.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
Its been quite and exciting off season so far, especially with the Jets returning to the NHL.
As a Winnipeger it has been pretty surreal experience. To add to everything I have had a surreal experience of my own in the last month. On May 27th I signed a contract with the Chicago Blackhawks to be the Video Coach for their American Hockey League affiliate in Rockford! I realized at quite an early age that I wasn't going to play hockey as a profession but it took me two years of pursuing a degree in Microbiology to realize that I could still work in the sport. With an abrupt change in career paths three years of schooling pursuing a degree in Sport Management, countless hours of volunteering and a year long internship I can now say that I have realized part of my dream! I have to report to Chicago August 29th, to get things rolling for the Blackhawks rookie tournament and training camp and I really don't things will sink in until then. I do know one things for sure, I have never wanted a summer to go by faster then this one! :D I thought I would share with you guys because you are all passionate about hockey and I figured you would appreciate it!:ih |
