Great movie. Hope the second is even close to as good as the first.

So what's this about the Penguins looking at Annaheim and Vancouver as team they'd trade Letang to? Apparently their intrigued by our prospects. Per Rossi.

They're probably just intrigued by the thought of getting Edler in a deal back in a deal for Letang.

Not being able to use a compliance buyout on an injured player is stupid. What's the freaking difference, the whole point of the compliance buyout was for teams to be able to get the team they want under the cap. Take Cam's blog for instance, if Havlat is a player that the Sharks want to buyout, they can't, because he's hurt. Now, he'll likely be cleared sometime after the season starts, but if they put him in the lineup they risk him getting injured again and being on the books for another season as well and they lose their chance to buy him out. The other option is that they leave him on the books for 2013/14 and tell him not to report, a la Gomez, but the NHL has already shown us they don't want that. This CBA was poorly constructed.

You expected something different??? This is the NHL. They can't do anything right.

Look at how long the Luongo situation has dragged out. Look at how long the CBA negotiations and lockout lasted. Now consider this, the NHL has owned one of the teams competing in the league and that fiasco has gone on for much longer, and been an even bigger disaster than the Luongo situation and the lockout combined.

The NBA thinks the NHL is poorly run and MLB thinks the NHL's commissioner is out of touch with the times. They're just f*cked over there. And even worse, Bettman has another free pass for the next 8-10 years.
