I find it odd that Benning hasn't given Mason Raymond a call yet

probably has but Mason didnt respond because he had fallen and cant get up

Tomorrow could be a glorious day - Either Edmonton gives Lucic a 7x7 contract and they are in cap hell or Lucic signs with another team and Chiarelli panics and overpays for somebody like Mikkel Boedker. Either way, it's gonna be great to watch it unfold.

So I am looking at Preds ticket packages for next year. Besides seasons, they have two different "half season" packages including 24 games. Both half seasons are scattered throughout the year, but have radically different opponent groups.

Both groups include games with: TB, CHI, CAL, STL, WPG, MIN, CBJ, NYI and DET.

One group includes: ARI, FL, SJ, WAS, NJD, LAK and BOS.

The other group includes: PIT, OTT, ANA, PHA, NYR, VAN, EDM (twice), CAL, BUF and TOR.

Hmmmm, which one should I go with

Door #2 it is. Giving up Ovi, but getting McJesus twice, Eichel, Matthews/Marner/Nylander, Phil the Thrill and the inevitable 0-0 game against King Henrik.

I wonder if the Preds front office realizes how unbalanced the packages are.


Most interesting of all: Neither plan includes MTL

/oooh and I can get 25% off my PK jersey

A few years back I wanted to get a half season ticket plan and it was something like $250 more for the full season (2 tickets) so I bit the bullet and went full season. Not sure if that's something similar or if you can swing it but just a thought. You can always sell tickets.

David Clarkson just fell.

Good point. The full season is more than $250 but I was not thinking about selling tickets. But I should have been. I will factor that in, although I don't see getting much for the VCR/CAL/ARI/CAR games

Now that Stamkos has resigned in Tampa Bay who's Toronto interested in?

David Clarkson just fell.

Nice. I couldn't see where the boomerang went after it went behind the building. It didn't come back, so I assumed. Thanks for the confirmation.

The better question is who else is committed to taking a discount to play for a dynasty?

Someone is looking for another go around of "JT to T.O."

I expect Tampa to resign Hedman. I'd like to see him hit free agency after next season, but I doubt it happens.

I've read that the Isles have spoken to Ladd. What's going on with the Blue Jackets?

Actually I was being serious. Who's the next guy on the Leafs list for this year?

I tried to make a joke about the fact that everyone is not only on the Leaf's list but they are all DYING to play there.

I don't see them going RFA since they now seem to understand the value of keeping your damn draft picks. My guess/hope is no one of consequence. Just some minor moves like signing Polak and Parenteau as a stop gap for a year or so while they sort out what they have.

Others with more intel can correct me, but I think it more likely that if they do anything at all, it will be a trade for a quality D. Other than that, I think they are happy to stay the course.

/until next summer

Who do they want next summer, Hedman? JT has 2 years to go.

I wasn't sold on giving the rumo(u)red money to Stamkos. But I would absolutely give Weber-money to Stamkos. In a heartbeat.

He probably borrowed Carey's hat. Wait, bad locker room - he probably stole Carey's hat.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Landeskog about to be dealt ???

Lots of captains and alternate captains on the move this off-season.

Landeskog + Barrie to Anaheim for Kesler + Lindholm?
