Why did Milan Lucic get a $5,000 fine for his nut-grabbing cheap shot, while Quenneville got a $25,000 fine for his nut-grabbing obscene gesture?

Where will Martin Brodeur end up next year, if anywhere?

Speaking of the Panthers, what are the chances that they moe to Quebec? I'd like to say that they're pretty good because the owners want $80 million from Broward County towards their arena for no reason, but I've also heard that NBC doesn't really want another Canadian team. Plus there's the perception that Bettman wants to keep teams in the Sun Belt, but I get the feeling that's an exaggeration.

Does Lou Lamariello regret letting going of Claude Julien and seeing him thrive in Boston, or is he incapable of remorse?

Claude Julien was a game 7 win against Montreal away from getting fired.

Lou fired him despite NJ making the playoffs with a really good record. There was clearly something else going on there.
I'm gonna say it was Lou's itchy trigger finger. This is the guy who fired Larry Robinson around the end of the regular season and named himself as the replacement. It's a miracle DeBoer still has a job.

But yeah, Lou probably has no regrets. As much as it pains me to say this because he runs my team, he's the Bill Belichick of the NHL.

Geno Malkin's not really gonna get traded... is he?

Also, what is the thread's opinion on Ryan Lambert?

^^^ Yeah, I can't see the Coyotes staying for any length of time after their five-year deal in Glendale is up. By then Seattle will be aching for a big-time tenant in their new arena. Shame that the Panthers are staying because it sounds like a mausoleum there except when the Rangers are in town.

Reading the Donald Sterling thread in SAS got me wondering, since he's having such a big impact on his sports team, are there any NHL team owners who, for good or bad, are particularly noteworthy?
If we can include former or dead owners, "Dollar" Bill Wirtz (Chicago Blackhawks) was so godawful that he made an Original Six team irrelevant under his watch. Chief among his crimes was refusing to air games on local TV so that fans would have an incentive to go to the games in person, except nobody came to see them live either because they were terrible. After they missed the playoffs for the first time in almost three decades in 1998, they made the playoffs once up until Bill's death in 2007. Then his son took over and they won the Stanley Cup three seasons later. Imagine that.
