No, Nuge will go to the Rangers for (insert cheap lovely player here) to balance out the Rangers, Devils and Isles on current good ex-Oiler players.

Ah yes, swap the natural center with the natural winger because of what I can only assume is some sort of Systems-based boys' club nationality-bases biases.
Good luck, Habs.

if you're desperate for hockey there's a stream of the Bruins prospects playing the Devils prospects on the NHL site right now. Boston is up 5-1 at the start of the second. It's not a very good game.

The jury's still out on his current NHL-readiness but talent wise he's closer to Ryan Pulock than Charlie McAvoy. He's flashed in the prospect tournament which is what he should be doing.

It's the Bruins A-team versus a lot of defensemen that will likely never make the pros

Nice. I am a big fan of Pulock, and the Devils defense is so bad that he should be able to make the third pairing.

Yeah, no McAvoy today so the defense doesn't look as scary, but Boston has a lot of their best forward prospects playing. The majority of their top 9 today will likely see NHL action at some point, a couple might even be regular roster players this year.

fake edit: the Bruins prospects scored twice while I was posting. This is a bloodbath.

Quebec is not ever getting an Expansion team.
If someone does sell out, they're in the box seat, but Expansion was a pipe dream.

I'd guess Florida or Arizona would still be the most likely to move but neither seems on the verge of it or anything.

Even with the expansion in Vegas I really doubt the league would throw the East/West balance back off by 2 teams again by moving Arizona to Quebec

Carolina was steaming into the lead for the "Coupe de Quebec" until Karmanos found someone who magically met all of his "I will sell to you" criteria.
I still think there's a healthy chance there, but Arizona and Florida are still the leading candidates.

Ginette Reno posted:

Columbus is also available to be hosed off into the West.

Also, the alignment is gonna get hosed when Seattle gets a team anyway, since LV is in the Pacific (and can't reasonably be asked to go be in the Central) with the Oilers and Flames arguably being better geographic candidates to get moved.
I think someone mentioned the smart option would be to ditch the fake timezone thing and just have a north-south split, but that would probably screw over the new fans Nashville and St Louis are creating.
What I'm saying is Las Vegas was a magically terrible idea, especially now that the NFL is headed there but for realsies this time.

Having seen this stupid Seattle arena story before, I'd wager good money this too will get shot down for some reason. Most likely the public transit upgrades will be unanimously voted down and construction will never begin.
