Henrik Sedin will not dress on Tuesday vs Oilers. Iron man streak will end at 679.

Damnnn, that sucks.

huh.. Melnyk wasn't just blowing hot air.



@TSNBobMcKenzie
Interesting, on day of Torts hearing in NYC, OTT owner Eugene Melnyk, GM Bryan Murray, NHLPA exec director Don Fehr seen going into NHL HQ.
It's believed they're there as part of Melnyk's forensic investigation into Matt Cooke's skate cut on Erik Karlsson last season.
Melnyk maintained at time of incident that Cooke did it intentionally and vowed to prove it. NHL exonerated Cooke at that time.

When does Melnyk start the investigation into why Bobby Ryan was left off the US Olympic team?

It's a couple of years longer than I wanted, but I don't mind the dollar amount (and I think the dollar amount was reduced to get the additional years). As I said earlier, he'll be a good mentor for Monahan and McDavid.

Give him Bobby Holik money!

 

[pixburgher66]

That Stajan deal isn't that bad honestly. The money is pretty affordable when you look at some comparables.

Three years would have been fine and let's be honest, I don't think Stajan would have brought much back in a trade (i.e. he's more valuable currently to remain with the Flames).

Deft move by burkie ... Flames save some cash and will now be able to lock mason raymond in at 5 mill per
