Oh right. That would make sense.

I'm surprised Seattle isn't there.
SERIOUSLY WHAT THE ACTUAL ****
Totally befuddled by this one. Are Lou and the Leafs trolling us or something?
Maybe Jarmo can get Lou to take Clarkson back.
They were talking about expansion on NHL Network radio this morning, and the comment from Mike Ross was that if it does happen, Quebec City would likely go into the Western Conf for a couple of years, and then they would look at moving someone else from the EC to the WC and switch Quebec to the east. That got me thinking about who that would be, and the only options would seem to be the CBJ or Red Wings. In some ways, moving back to the Central Div has some appeal if they went to a balanced schedule out of division so you only play the teams in all other divisions (irregardless of conference) twice. This would prevent additional road trips to the west coast...we already have to go out there to play each team once even in the EC. Ideally, Arizona would relocate to KC and then you could move Colorado to the Pacific with the new Las Vegas team and have a Central Division consisting of CBJ, Chi, Nashville, Winnipeg, Dallas, KC, St. Louis and Minny...a very "midwest" feel, and no division games further west than the Central Time Zone. My question is would such an alignment appeal to fans, and what concessions could Columbus hope to extract from the NHL in order to move back to the WC?
Joey has more and more reason to ask for $8m now
Rangers have ~$1 million in cap space, and that's if they carry 13/7 only.
That's an appropriate deal for Stepan and the Rangers, IMO.
Especially after ROR's deal. That deal made 6.5 about right for Stepan.
In a world where Brassard is a 5 million dollar player, Stepan is clearly worth more
Derick Brassard is worth every penny of that contract right now.
Pens trade Sutter to Canucks for Bonino/Clendening, then sign Eric Fehr. Minor-ish deals but I think Pens get better.
