I think Tampa got a little embarrassed last game as Washington was much more physical than they were. That changes this game and Tampa wins.

I agree, he is a bit of a head case. When he stays out of trouble he is a great multi-cat player but is he worth that contract is the big question.

Just read it is believed to be 7 years x $7M/year

Evander Kane agrees to long term deal with Sharks. Haven’t see reported contract yet.

I read somewhere that this was completely fine by the NHL and not seen as any kind of collusion.

Hurricanes....a ton of money to throw at him and a huge need for a number 1 center......oh I wish it were true.

I'm hoping the Canes go Svechnikov. Everything I have read also has him as the 2nd best prospect and best forward prospect. There is the Zadina appeal because of his playing time with Necas but I would still lean Svechnikov. I dislike some of what I have heard here in Carolina that they may go Tkachuk because he is the prospect most ready to step in and help you win now.

Couldn't have been happier to see the Canes jump from 11 to 2nd overall.

Tough break...while I don't think it is the end, I think he needs to take the time to make sure he is fully healed before attempting to come back.

As a Canes fan, I love the Williams signing. That team desperately needs some goal scoring forwards and Williams is just that. Plus, he has already won a cup in Carolina so maybe that is a sign of things to come.

Stepan's name is being floated around.

Thought I read that a deal involving Duchene and Galchenyuk won't be happening. From what I read Colorado is looking for a dman in return of Duchene and they wanted Sergachev.

I'm glad Gostisbehere signed. I was leaning towards taking the compensation. With the way Defenseman have been getting paid in the NHL I thought he was going to get a bigger contract.

Good deal for LA...makes him more enticing to bid on.

Yzerman is a genius.

Haha thanks James. I almost forgot what the normal forum looked like.

Haha this is great. I too decided it was a good idea to explore about a month or so ago and I have been stuck in James world ever since. I didn't think there was anyway out so I have learned how to live with it....please let me out of James world if possible lol.

I agree that level isn't completely there but I'm just excited for hockey. While I agree with you James about the Team North America and Team Europe, Team North America is so much fun to watch the way they fly around the ice. I agree Zipper, USA came to play last night and Canada didn't until it was too late. I am excited to watch them play again tonight though, I think it could be a whole different story. Im sure NHL clubs aren't to happy about some of these injuries that have already occurred or are going to occur.

I got to meet Mark Messier when his son played for the minor league hockey team I worked for.

No just saw it on Twitter haha

Yakupov...

New realty postings...

Hanzal, Vermette, Dvorak can play center, and Dauphin. Will be interesting what they do with Strome.

I agree and if I had to rank them it would be... 1. Boston 2. Chicago 3. Buffalo That was a bold move by Murray trading away a 3rd for Vesey's rights that look like may backfire on him.

I'm still not sold on Strome sticking around the NHL all year. From what I have read his skating is still a big concern.
