why is Bettman so hell bent on expanding to Las Vegas  in some respects hes been a great commissioner...but i dont get this idea at all

[blue_gold_84]

This is not a time for expansion, IMO. It's time to relocate the failing franchises already.

I believe the QC arena is supposed to be done late 2015. I thought I heard that the Markham arena deal fell through, but not 100% sure on that one.

well... pretty much our whole D corps is between 22-25 yrs old and they locked up our goalie, so in that end of the ice, things look optimistic...not alot in terms of forwards...a few guys here and there

Not the right ones it seems.

no...there have been a few mistakes for sure..its been difficult to replace 2 NHL stars in Kovalchuk and Parise...they've never been able to replace them

[AngryGreg]

but i guess we will see this off-season if Lou has anything left....hes already in the HOF and is creditied with building one of the most successful franchises in the NHL over the past 20 years, and that wasnt by fluke lol
