Ongoing NHL thread - Part deux

[DragonfromTO]

Keon has been twice both to honor teams But untill the last half dozen years he still had a hardon for how he was treated by Ballard before he went to the WHA and when he blocked him from signing with the Isles who then went and got Goring instead

Yeah, I know the whole history. I think he's actually been three times, but like you and I both said they were all team events, he was never trotted out himself.

Moves like he's been drinking Jägermeister.

The Buffalo Sabres apparently have a “big announcement” set for Monday, according to Mike Harrington of the Buffalo News and PHT’s Joe Yerdon.

Harrington reports that this will just be an announcement regarding Buffalo hosting the 2015 combine, but there’s some scuttlebutt that the city may host the 2016 NHL Draft.

Sabres have big announcement for Monday - Has nothing to do with Martin Erat

So assuming the 2017 Draft goes to Toronto for the centenary cellies, that's two drafts I can go to in a row where the Leafs will be lottery pickin.

Is it finally Las Vegas? time to get a major pro sports team? - Las Vegas Sun News

In 2007, a group hoping to bring hockey to Las Vegas made a presentation to the NHL’s Executive Committee, to no avail. More recently, Las Vegas has been rumored as a destination for the Phoenix Coyotes, but NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman has said Las Vegas isn’t part of his league’s plans.

Keep it that way, shrew.

The funny thing is there might be enough Canadians in Vegas (either snowbirds and/or vacationing) that would make a NHL team viable in Sin City.

$ wise they could be viable in Vegas but there are a lot more factors to consider

to a degree, isnt that the same logic that gave us Glendale and Sunrise???

it would be the team that would have more opposing team visitors than home team fans. the road trips would be insane.

Yeah, that's true, although I would argue that in both of those cases, the arena not being downtown is the biggest issue facing both of those teams. Phoenix had pretty good attendance when the arena was in the downtown core.

I'd say Montreal if they hadn't already done it two years ago

Thanks. I couldn't remember which specific asshole said it and guessed.

Average value is $1.1 M. Seems like a weird signing. He hasn't really established himself as an NHL player. I really hope this isn't a precursor to a Methot trade.
