Once they missed out on Babcock...makes a little bit more sense. It's a 'last chance' thing I bet.

I guess I didn't realize how bad the Kings' cap situation is right now.
Still have Richards at 5.75 for 5 years, Brown at 5.875 for 7 years (ouch), Voynov at 4 for 4 years (because who knows if he'll play soon). Kopi will be a UFA after this year, so have to think he's getting a raise or at least long term for about the same now (6.8M). Gabby for 6 more years @ 5M at age 33 (though he hasn't slowed down yet, so not necessarily bad).
Gotta think that's a worse situation than us. A ton of long term contracts. Their guys don't have NMCs though, so maybe they'll manage to move some of them by some miracle or buyout Richards (which would be for 10 years..).

Much worse than us.
Richards and Brown are barely 3rd liners now. Our vets aren't that bad yet.

I'll trade a couple of 2nd rounders for a dynasty hockey team in the salary cap era 7 days a week.

This does not please me.
Olli Jokinen had a rare, in-depth interview where he got really candid about his career so far. Former coaches, teams, all kinds of juicy stuff. Thread on the main boards is here.
Finnish posters have done a good job translating the majority of the stuff in English, I did my small part too. Highly recommend checking it out.

Thank you, sweet rabbit
I was just reading about that. Hopefully they can work something out, but it's hard to imagine the City of Glendale and IceArizona living happily ever after when the dust settles, especially if this gets dragged out in the legal system.
As much as I roll my eyes at the stubbornness of the NHL to make hockey work in Arizona, I feel bad for the Coyotes fans who are back to feeling uncertainty about where their team is going to play in the future. Hopefully it all works out for them.
