NHL to Salt Lake City?

Wouldn't surprise me at all to see the Yotes get relocated; their venue situation is pretty pitiful.

[Jockitch]

Way, way over due for the "Yotes" to be moved. 
So get this done Bettman and "thinkers" and send them to Utah faster than fast

The 2003 Jr. team (above link) is still under investigation in the Maritimes.
WOWEE, the above is an amazing lineup that may have some nervous men.

PL29 will enter the Player Assistance Program.

Coach Tocchett gets rid of Kuzmenko, a player he liked to seat in the press box
The Flames trade E. Lindholm to the Canucks for Kuzmenko and quite a package of draft picks and prospects 

[blue_gold_84]

Pretty solid return for the Flames.

Pretty solid return for the Flames.

Yup... they hosed the 'nuks on that deal.  Good non-move Chevy (likely he forced Van to up the bid, should get an assist on the trade)

L.A. Kings fired their coach this morning

Can't they both lose?

With players being aware that signing with a club in Canada could one day lead to a dispute with a CRA, that might be enough of a deterrent for players to choose to play elsewhere.

I mean... Or you could just pay your taxes on the obscene amount of money you already get paid - to play a sport.

MR44 for the Leaf's will be hearing from the league. Stupid play
