I really hope they don't expand the league. I don't think they need 32 teams. I don't even think there are 46 players just sitting around that are NHL quality to fill those teams or spots. So it will water down the product to an extent. I think 30 is good enough unless it's a market where it will succeed (ie. Quebec, but I think an existing team that isn't doing well could move to that market, even though I personally hate when teams move unless there is absolutely no support)
On the Ottawa owner. Do you really think he'll make the tough decisions? or do you think he's frustrating and talking tough? I guess we'll wait and see. Actions speak louder than disappointed NHL owners. - mattsox
he will...I believe they're on an internal budget and what he's gotten out of this group, namely this season when they took a major step back, tells him that something ain't right...
I got a$$ raped last summer for suggesting Reinhart would get 50 points if he played all 82 games with the sabres this year.
Digs and scud missiles from 40 directions for 4 months.
maybe 30 points I was told
maybe 30 games with the big club I was told
kid is too small
kid doen't play a great 2 way game
blah blah blah
he is perhaps our best all around forward, and despite the lack of messages in my in box, I was right and they were wrong
kid may be the best all around player on the team this year, over the new toy and ror - homiedclown
nice call....pretty sure nobody expected that type of production from him this season...quite the tribute to his innate skills and his work ethic as he put in countless extra hours of work going back over a year.

people forget, he was buried for the first 20 games as well this season

I was attacked last summer for suggesting that Reinhart this season would do about as well as RNH did in his first full season which he had 56 pts. I was also attacked for suggesting Chad Johnson would be a lot better than anybody was giving him credit for than.

Not a big fan of expansion either, although they do need to figure out the unbalanced conferences. It's just gonna mean a couple more teams tanking to try and get one of the few top players available each year.
