He may not mean actual playing, but merely that the league is "open for business" come next Saturday.

That's a weird read. I'm not making a joke here so don't take this way. I just think it's funny to read "Impossible...the estimates I've seen...".Jaded-Fan said:Impossible . . . the estimates that I have seen call for at minimum eighteen days between the time an agreement is signed and the start of hockey.

It makes me wonder, if this is how it happens, will players get less than what they're asking for or more than what they should get, just so they can get a contract signed? The guys without contracts are in a brutal spot. It gives me a warm fuzzy all over!Ziggy Stardust said:With 10-12 days of training camp, teams will be set to go. As for all the remaining free agents out there... my guess is that you will see many "temporary" contracts signed. A bunch of one-season deals since the off-season won't be too far ahead.
I think you should retract that statement.PitkanenPower said:I have prepared a statement:

That is all.

We wont see training camp right away... basically the engines start for all 30 teams as they get their roster back to the states, organize a schedule, and generally get back to work.
futurcorerock said:How precious... one of our own posters is cut froom the same cloth as one of the greatest coaches of all time. I wonder if he'd admit to it?
So you have Montreal roots. Just goes to show that you can find good in everybody, even a Leaf fan. Deep down we know you'll return to th efold someday. Let me know when the de briefing process starts. If Bowman says something, he has a good reason. I'd feel better if I knew what the reason was.GregStack said:I'm quite sure he would not
As for me...You think a Leafs fan would ever want to say he's got anything to do with a guy who brought Stanley Cups to our rivals? I don't want to get lynched my friend.
