a false posted:i'm extremely skeptical of the idea that the islanders would leave hamonic unprotected The thought was it would come down to him and de Haan. That's a real tough choice the make. The stat nerds prefer Calvin. End of the day it goes back to the idea that teams like the Islanders are going to need to make trades.

Given the value Larsson got and the suggested return for Tanev, I think it's safe to say that the Isles will keep Hamonic simply for his trade value. Right shooting, big minute defensive defencemen are worth their weight in gold. De Haan is probably more effective from a possession perspective, but players like him are ultimately easier to come by.

A lot of scoring starts from the defense and I'm not sure I agree with the assessment they will have difficulty there. They just aren't going to have a superstar.

Sounds like they're sharing. Here's a very weirdly worded statement from Doug Armstrong:quote:ST. LOUIS - St. Louis Blues General Manager Doug Armstrong released the following statement regarding the Blues' American Hockey League (AHL) plans for the 2017-18 season: https://www.nhl.com/blues/news/armstrong-statement-on-ahl-affiliation/c-289468858 The Blues also decided to can all of their assistant coaches too for some reason. Guess they're gonna all be Yeo's boys now. ThinkTank fucked around with this message at 20:20 on May 16, 2017 |

Seems like the Blues are angling for their own AHL franchise as the 31st AHL franchise. Kansas city or Indianapolis make sense.

Hawks have never had the Chicago Wolves as an AHL affiliate. Rockford since 2007 and before that it was the Norfolk Admirals from 2000. Blackhawks might have soured on the Wolves when they pulled more spectators than the Hawks during the dark years and actually won games.

Blackhawks might have soured on the Wolves when they pulled more spectators than the Hawks during the dark years and actually won games. The Wolves were founded in 1994 as an IHL expansion team as part of the league's effort to expand into larger markets. Most of the other cities the IHL expanded to though (Denver, Twin Cities, and Houston) didn't have a nearby NHL team. While normally this would hurt, the Blackhawks we such a garbage organisation that the Wolves were able to successfully market themselves as a cheaper alternative for families that normally couldn't afford to go to a Hawks game. Needless to say, the Wolves and Hawks didn't exactly have a great relationship.

The fact that the Islanders didn't get Bridgeport to move to the Coliseum is fuckin stupidity of the highest orderDO YALL WANT A BOXC posted:Hartford can have an nhl team back too I know the CT WHALE poo poo failed, but I honestly don't know why anyone is against rebranding the Wolfpack as the new Whalers. Connecticut is mostly Rangers fans anyway I'd assume and I'm sure it would instantly become the #1 selling AHL jersey (especially if the Rangers actually have some good prospects go through the A for a change) and I'd honestly bet they would sell more than like the bottom 1/3 of the league. I feel like that's a license to print money. Do the people who own the Whalers* brand really think the NHL is coming back and they want to hold on to that poo poo just in case? I don't claim to know how it would work, but I can't imagine it would be too hard to make that change and I'm sure it would jazz up a ton of people. * I know that in the last few years, the NHL has been able to print and sell Whalers merch again, so I can't imagine anyone is against monetizing their poo poo Teemu Pokemon fucked around with this message at 17:52 on May 17, 2017 |

Hartford is pushing real hard to be the interim home of the Islanders should they decide to get the gently caress out of Brooklyn and move to an un-built stadium. Considering how Nassau isn't big enough for the NHL any more and the other realistic option is sharing MSG for a couple years, they might have a legit shot at it.

A tiger that is free of defect or flaw, is valid, and solid. Alternatively, a tiger that lives on or near the Long Island Sound, the estuary between long island and connecticut. Alternatively, a tiger made of vicious sound waves.

AEG has dropped its bid to renovate Key Arena, citing a lacking bidding process on Seattle's part. This leaves only OVG proposing to renovate Key Arena, and of course Chris Hansen's group seeking to build a new arena in SoDo. https://twitter.com/AaronQ13Fox/status/871488221993095168

OVG plans to gut the arena (leaving the historic roof), excavate to expand the bowl, and rebuild the structure as a modern NBA/NHL. The proposal now goes to the Seattle City Council, and since it remodels a city-owned asset it is the odds-on favorite over a new SODO arena to attract an NHL and NBA team. http://www.king5.com/mb/news/local/arena/oak-view-group-selected-seattle-keyarena-renovation/446404255

And since it apparently pours when it rains, the OVG Key Arena renovation apparently just landed a prospective NHL ownership group, led by Jerry Bruckheimer and Celtics minority owner David Bonderman. If the council approves this proposal I expect they'll seek an expansion team asap, although unclear where they'd play until the arena is done. That could be a while, since construction wouldn't even start til late 2018 at the earliest. http://www.king5.com/mb/news/local/arena/oak-view-group-selected-seattle-keyarena-renovation/446404255?C=N
