Taylor Hall was born in Calgary, maybe BT should bring the lad back to his birthplace.

Unless a guy is playing for a sure-shit, built to contend for the next 5 years kind of team I really don't think we're going to see many pending UFA's pass on testing the market unless the next CBA makes it too lucrative not to.

When even guys with pretty serious recent injuries like Hall and Karlsson (Friedman said yesterday he's heard there's an offer from SJ on the table for him) are seemingly willing to risk it to see what's out there it's a good sign that things are changing for the more interesting in the NHL.

Some Friedman notes on UFA's. Probably mostly worthless guessing on his part but...

Did you know Jeff Skinner is not 18 years old and is looking for close to 9 million per on a 8 year contract?!?
And if you had asked me in December, or maybe even in mid-February, I would have said to give it to him.

But 1 goal in a 22 game stretch in February and March when your team is just barely nursing PO hopes (in mid-February that is, obviously not by March) isn't worth $72M.

jebus, imagine what you could buy for $7.25 schmills in London freaking Ontario.
Average home price there is 400k

NHL star Corey Perry spends market-stunning $7.25M on London home

The following also stood out for me...

He declined comment on why he paid – some might suggest overpaid – $7.25 million for a property assessed for tax purposes at $1.8 million.

I realize property assessed value is usually lower than market value, but not usually 5.5 million under.

One might say Corey Perry swings his purse during the season and opens it up during the off-season.
