PBP guy Dave Strader has been diagnosed with cancer. Nothing more has been released regarding the type of cancer, stage its in, etc. Loved him while he was here. I hope they caught it early, and I hope he beats it!

Las Vegas going to be a hockey town.

I guess this supports Bettman's stance on southern and western expansion.

Love it! I get to go there kinda regularly to visit family. I'll try to catch a Panthers game. Also, heard their name should be the Black Knights which sounds cool.

I sure wouldn't mind taking a road trip now to see the Panthers play out there. As someone on Twitter said, at least it would get it away from losing our shirt at the tables while we get to see a Panthers game instead

 

[Brokin]

Teravainen & Bickell traded to Carolina for draft picks

Chicago gets 2016 - 2nd round & 2017 - 3rd round

I really like that name!

 

[SoupyFIN]

Thought Canes would've been better off taking someone like Howard/Lehtonen/Pavelec from the trade market and gain some assets along with it, but oh well.

Along with this tidbit, my belief that Barkov is the next captain increases.

I think Ekblad

 

[EnforceTheLaus]

Now official

 

[Gentle Man]

Bye bye Vatanen.

Now what?

It is going to be ekblad IMO. just because barkov and kopitar play a similar style, doesn't mean they both have a similar personality!

I'm predicting that the players will vote for Barkov based on some of the player interviews what I've heard in the past year or so.

 

[Ghoste]

St. Louis re-signs Upshall one more year, 900K.

Dreger mentioned and it's complete speculation, that Tallon could be a potential GM candidate for the Las Vegas team among some other well known GMs. He'd be a great fit for that role.

I'd be pretty pissed if Tallon left.

Expansion to Vegas now official for 2017-2018

You know, props to Tallon if he does that. To invest all the time & energy to build Chicago & Florida and to turn around and do it a third time? Wow

Seriously. Would hate to seem him leave but man respect to him. I still think he's a top 3 GM.

Also just speculation.guessing, would Jagr also go to Las Vegas (if he still plays)?

Kane gonna Kane

Kane gonna Kane

Yesterday he was on the ice with the top draft prospects, a real role model eh.

 

[Chaos2k7]

Too full of himself, head got way too big, and everyone has talent at this level. The secret is work ethic, Real shame.

They were warned before the trade.......the guy has a history. Allegedly got physical with a couple of gals at the bar, according to reports.

Buffalo gave 2nd chances to both Kane and Bogo and signed them to big deals, and now are trying to get rid of both. Hopefully Tim Murray knows what he is doing this time.
