Ongoing NHL thread - Part deux

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.

Welcome home, Mark.

Well, not "home". But back to your first team. You know. COME BACK TO COLUMBUS

Wasn't Thomas Kaberle playing for the Leafs when Brian Burke was GM? All of a sudden, I got a bad feeling.

Really, only now? Have you not had a bad feeling for several months at this point?

Actually, aside from the Engelland signing, things have been okay.

Edmonton Oilers

Sure, the Oilers have been near the bottom of the league for years. But with excellent young talent like Taylor Hall and Jordan Eberle, they have to take a step forward eventually, right?

(Crap, that one was from 2011. One more try.)

(Nope, that was from 2012. You know what, maybe the Oilers should have been in that first section after all.)

Tomas Kaberle is at BioSteel Camp and hoping to return to the NHL this season. Said there is a tryout offer somewhere. "Not in Ontario."

Nope, no NHL Draft next year, but this is still pretty big news for Buffalo.

The 2015 and 2016 NHL Combine will be held at First Niagara Center and HarborCenter in Buffalo, the NHL announced Monday.

The annual event, which had been held in Toronto since 1999, is overseen by NHL Central Scouting. It brings approximately 100 top prospects for the draft into one place for interviews with NHL teams as well as medical and physical testing. The 2014 Combine featured 119 prospects taking part in five days of interviews and medical exams held at the Westin Bristol Place hotel, followed by fitness testing held nearby at The International Centre.

Wait...doesn't he want to go somewhere he can play? I know the Pens were mentioned, but that was only because Tom Fitzgerald is his cousin or something like that. I know FLA was another name, because his brother is there. Bruins seem to be filled up, Flames/Preds have space for forwars though, no?

Not to be insensitive or anything, but why, exactly?

An influx of money from outside of the city being spent at local restaurants, hotels etc?

This is like dropping a penny into the Atlantic in terms of economic impact.

I don't think I have ate at one of those in about 15 years now.

Because fuck Toronto, that's why!
