Because the LAST thing we want to do is move teams from markets that aren't working to ones that will.

Expansion = more money for the league

Expansion = more money for the league

Yeah, I know.

Shame we fans can't make the league pay US "contraction fees". Whenever the league lets a team fail tickets for all of us get subsidized by 11 million.

Expansion = more money for the league

It also = watered down product for the fans.

Oh dear Lord, PLEASE let a Panther player score a hat trick.

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

I think two goals during regulation and a goal in the shootout would also be great.

15 years ago today Brian Burke fired Mike Keenan...and there was much rejoicing in the Lower Mainland.

Sharks sign Marleau and Thornton to three-year deals

According to TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun of ESPN.com, Thornton's deal is worth $6.75 million per season, or just over $20 million over three years with a full no-movement clause, while Marleau will get $6.66 million per year, or just under $20 million over the same term. Kevin Kurz of CSNBayArea.com is reporting Marleau's deal also has a no-movement clause.

 

[rares]

Technically, Marleau will make more because he didn't use an agent (after Don Baizley passed away) and (I assume?) Thornton has to pay his agent (his brother John) a bit from that $6.75/year? /shrug

I hated both of them long before that.
