NHL Discussion (Other than Jets)

Soooooooo shocked that the Preds were able to win the back to back games .......... this Cup final may show how the last seed can grow & win.

Without Johansen...

I think they used the 7th man very effectively.  If they can ride this high into Pittsburgh and steal a game, all bets are off..

If the Predators win game 5, I think it ends in 6 in Nashville. Hell, if not for Rinne's shaky netminding in game 1, this series could have been over tomorrow.

Some interesting news out of Seattle today: http://www.king5.com/news/local/arena/oak-view-group-selected-seattle-keyarena-renovation/446404255?C=N

Seattle Mayor Ed Murray will announce Wednesday that he has selected the Oak View Group to redevelop KeyArena.

The group, led by Tim Leiweke and Irving Azoff, will spearhead a $564 million gut remodel of the facility on the Seattle Center campus. They are also bringing some blockbuster power with them ? two prospective NHL owners.

A source close to the project says Leiweke will announce that his Seattle effort will be joined by Boston Celtics Minority Owner David Bonderman, a billionaire and University of Washington grad, and Jerry Bruckheimer, the Hollywood action movie mogul...

MAF is going to get traded or drafted/traded...  I really hope that Chevy is in on this one.

who?

[theaardvark]

So, who does LV go with as a goalkeeper?

I am hoping that the Jets land MAF and we can finally move to the next level of competing.

According to Ray Ferraro, the Vegas Golden Knights plan to keep Marc-Andr? Fleury next season rather than flip him.

Not sure if this has been confirmed but Ferraro seems to know his stuff.

Drouin traded to the Habs for Sergachev.  I think Tampa Bay wins this one.

Drouin traded to the Habs for Sergachev.  I think Tampa Bay wins this one. 

And then the Habs re-signed Drouin to a pretty massive multi-year deal: http://www.tsn.ca/canadiens-acquire-drouin-from-lightning-for-sergachev-1.780437

...signed Drouin to a six-year, $33-million contract extension.

Not sure if I agree with moving a defensive prospect, but the Habs really needed an offensive upgrade. The Bolts basically just added more power to their back end, which was already solid as hell to begin with.

Tons of pressure on Drouin now, though. Gonna be interesting to watch who benefits most down the road from this trade.
