I think he is talking about when the rumor went out about the NHLPA wanting future expansion and relocation fees to be part of the HRR.

yeah, again another example of the media spinning something out of nothing.

Oh that shady league...

waiting for comments from Burn.

On a separate (but relevant to the blog) note, if Toronto trades Kuli for any of the mentioned Oilers I'll lose my poop.

He dissapeared after that Dregger tweet.

fair enough. i can agree with that.

but the NHL pre-euro invasion was nowhere nears what is was after. and thats not speculation.. thats fact.

yeah for sure, MANY great euro's...hell look at Sundin, the face of our franchise for countless years. thats just 1 easy example.

Yup. Definitely not the right trading partner.

yeah it happens, but eberele i think is the best out of all them on EDM.

i'd rather just keep kulemin over any of the oilers secondary small forwards.

Andy Sutton's knee still works.... I swear!

Who said that?

You can't renegotiate something both agreed to months ago and both have been basing their negotiations/offers off of. That would just negate the last 3 months.
- burn

Yes, actually, you can.

Until both sides agree to everything in full, there is an ebb and flow to these negotiations.

Until everything is signed, sealed and delivered, everything is on the table.

C'mon, Burn - you know this.

Kulemin is probably the most (or second most) complete player on our roster. My guess is if he's traded, it'll be part of a bigger package to land a #1C

personally i think EDM would be smart to risk moving one of their big forward names for a goalie and a D man, they could probley get a decent bottom 6 NHL player too.

not saying from leafs, but from any team.

eventually all those high end forwards are going to cost you a pretty penny.

2 of them cost 12 million so far.

the other 2 are costing 7.5 million or so for another couple years.

lol

remember after Omark did that break away goal - he was the next wayne LOL

fair enough. i can agree with that.

Look no further than the KHL to see what would happen.

The superstars would still come to the NHL. The next tier below would consider staying at home.

But with the leaps and bounds being made by US players (the base has never been bigger), I wouldn't worry too much about it. Instead of a Czech 3rd liner, you'd have a kid from Rimouski or Flin Flon or Minnesota or even Texas.

The Sundins and Lidstroms and Jagrs and Ovechkins would still come to the NHL.
