nowhere else to put this

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie
NHL GMs meeting in Manhattan today. @DarrenDreger and @Real_ESPNLeBrun are there covering it. NHL commish Gary Bettman meets media at 6 pm.

Dreger did tweet yesterday that the GM's will look at how refs are calling hooking, holding, and interference penalties. I think the concern is that the league is starting to slip back into pre-lockout hockey.

Former #Oilers' 1st round pick Rob Schremp signed a 2 year deal with #KHL's Dinamo Riga.

so much talent, so little heart. he should do well over there.

Prediction: Edmonton drafts Murray, throw tons of money at and sign Suter, talk both Lidstrom and Scott Niedermayer out of retirement, and sign Jagr to the league minimum. They also trade a 3rd rounder to the Bruins for Tim Thomas.

...and then score 410 goals!

I forgot to add that 3rd rounder is actually the Blue Jackets, which was part of the deal to move up to the number 1 spot.

Does Florida need help in reaching the cap floor this upcoming season? Maybe JayBo would like to return to the Sunshine State.
