Still have my vinyl copy, although I haven't listened to it in 30 years. I'll bet it sounds really dated.

Elliotte Friedman’s 31 Thoughts:

7. Stealth team for Artemi Panarin: Dallas. The Stars have also checked in on Mats Zuccarello.

8. I think the teams with the best chances at signing Panarin long-term are Florida, Los Angeles, the Islanders and the Rangers. The only one that makes sense to take a shot at him for rental purposes is the Islanders. Boston hovers as a rental option, too. If the Islanders don’t get their top choices, GM Lou Lamoriello could consider old acquaintance Ilya Kovalchuk. Remember, the winger has control over his destination.

9. If the Blue Jackets don’t get Duchene, the obvious focus is Kevin Hayes. They have lots of history with the Rangers, too.

16. Zuccarello and Wayne Simmonds may have to wait until the Duchene/Stone/Panarin situations settle. A mix of similar teams looking at both: Boston, Calgary, San Jose, maybe Pittsburgh and Vegas. New Jersey GM Ray Shero was aggressive with Brian Boyle, and it sounds like he’s done the same with Marcus Johansson. I’ve heard Columbus, Edmonton, San Jose and Vancouver as teams who have checked in. Possibly Washington, too, since they know him. The Canucks are the odd fit, but they looked at Andre Burakovsky, too. So maybe they are thinking about something for the future or are trying to replace the injured Sven Baertschi.

Can see Boston renting Panarin. Kovi to the Island would be bad news for us if he does end up there. Zucc to the Stars would be interesting, who would we get in return? They have a lot of players to re-sign for next season.

Pretty much what I was thinking. Traded in Living Colour a few weeks ago, couldn't get through side one.

Burnside speculated on Kovy as well today. Question will be how much LA eats in salary. He has two more seasons at $6.5 mil per after this year.

For what it's worth, I think it's awesome your team and fans have embraced the heel role instead of just backing down. I imagine your team will get plenty of mainstream sales from the idiots shirts. Though after your owner just injected 250 million in the AAF, I think they shouldn't play the "small market team" label anymore.

The Hurricanes have been in Raleigh for 22 years, and for about 20 of them all Canes fans have been hearing from national media is about the dire financial situation of the team and how it's about to be moved and how bad the fan base is and yadda yadda yadda.

Now they have a new owner with deep pockets who is actually putting money in and making an effort to reach out to fans, and the national media is poopting on them for that too? Yeah, (frank) em. They'll go full heel if that's what it takes to get people to pay attention. Everybody loves a good heel anyway.

the AAF thing is a weird one. Doesn't seem like a very good bet to me, but the guy turned TopGolf into an actual thing, so who knows.

to me Kovalchuk is untradeable

I can't imagine wanting him at even half salary next two seasons

- BINGO!

My NJ Caniac buddy is thrilled with the new owner. Seems he's doing everything he can to get warm bodies into seats.

Quiet Riot?

Its great 80s rock, nothing spectacular, but its that whole genre really.

He wants to make it work, and work better than anybody else thought possible.

I hope the Isles get Kovy, he looks pretty washed and will only getting more washed as he gets older.

As for Dallas, they aren't in as bad a shape. I imagine Spezza walks and that's 8 million off the cap. Some of their other FAs aren't really locks to get raises or be with the team, plus Niemi comes off their cap after this season. I wonder what we'd have to add to Zucc to get Honka?
