And, Foligno with a busted digit. That's missing alot of horsepower.

Coyotes move to Salt Lake officially official.

Glad that situation has been resolved but feel bad for their fans.

I can see Winnipeg be next next on the block to either Houston or Atlanta.

Yeah. That fanbase has put up with so much for so long and this is how the owners reward them.

The next thing for the league will be another round of expansion and not relocation.

Considering your poor record with predictions/prognostications, you might want sit this one out.

I think Grubauer could play for Germany.
He's stated that he always loves to play for the national team.

Looking at the International Tournament subforum for possibilities

Canada: McCann & Tanev (both confirmed )
USA: Beniers, Daccord
Sweden: Burakovsky & maybe Larrson
Denmark: Bjokry
Germany: Grubi isn't even mentioned there
Finland: Tolvanen isn't even mentioned

Do the players get paid good money to play in it? Like in soccer it's more about pride/exposure to play and in the NBA it feels like it's not worth the risk of injury.

Not sure on the money part, but mostly for country Pride and to continue to play high level hockey. Winning medals lasts forever just like for the World Junior tournaments.

Good point on the pending FAs on why Beniers and Tolvanen may not play.

I understand it for the younger guys like a Shane Wright or from smaller nations but if your are a star NHL player with big money on the line it's definitely a business decision
