but hey since im not first...

I am going to set up a fantasy keeper league. In this league you will keep 100% of your players every year. we will have a 21 round draft for our main roster and we will have a minor league draft every year. there will be 6 rounds per year for the minor league draft, except for this year we will only have 3. Personal message me if you would like to join and ill send you the information to join. this will be a yahoo fantasy league. head to head 1 point per win. You must pick a team name of a real NHL team. i would like 12-16 teams. I prefer if you have at least a year of expeariance.

This will be a Free just for fun league that i hope to keep going for many years

hope to hear from you all. (i know this has nothing to do with EK's blog, but hey, what the heck)

The elite will always have a place to play and earn their $$$
If I'm not an elite player in the NHL. A 3rd or 4th line guy who won't have that privilege of being offered a job overseas for decent jack, I'd be a lil pissed. The lost time for those will not be recovered.

- thegodfather

can you boycott a product if it's not available?

how will they know the fans are boycotting if there is no agreement and no games?

Lots to check out in both. Depends what you want out of the trip. Toronto: CN Tower. Harbourfront is nice (and the gardens that surround it are beautiful, like the Music Garden, which is a secret spot I found my last time down there, and Little Norway Park). Smoke's Poutinerie, because I doubt you see much of that in Philly.

Well I'm an American from ny. If you go to cn tower In Toronto go to the restaurant you get free access and avoid the lines. Of course the hockey hall of fame. If the jays are in town check out a baseball game.

Montreal see the old city the bio dome
Is also really cool. You have to eat at schwartzs and get there famous smoked meat sandwich. Also you must eat poutine

Quebec city is small it's like being in Europe.

I'm sure our Canadian fiends can assist more. Dont forget if you like crown royal vo or Canadian club it's diet cheap at duty free. All 3 are fun cities. I hope Vancouver is cool as I'm going there in oct. whistler bike park here I come

I find it funny that NHL players will get paid jack poop to play in a crappy league somewhere they don't want to be but demand millions upon millions to play in the best league in the world and get treated like kings.

d-bag move to go to the KHL and take a job away from someone who doesn't have millions in the bank just because you are fighting with the very guys in the NHL who have made you rich

Pretty sure it's their talent and the fans that pay to see them that made them rich.
The owners want talent so they can sell a product and the players provide the talent.
