Well, they did trade for Reaves.

Yah, and a couple others - which are such talents that I can't remember their names.

Do you get the feeling that NY's owner is an old time hockey fan that is willing to blow a season just to kick Wilson's @ss. Let the games begin.

Stuff like this and what Carolina did makes hockey interesting. Good ol' boys with passion and a touch of humor.

Well, what Edmonton did in the last ten years wasn't interesting. But it was kind of funny in a dark way. I especially like how they got Schultz to buck the Ducks because... well, why did he do that? Because his low talent friend perceived he was mistreated? Only to end up finding out Edmonton wasn't such a class organization. He did get to meet and be conned by Gretzky though. 

Love it all.

So, Arizona has three 1st round and five 2nd round picks in the coming draft. Wow, not too shabby

Anaheim has their original one in each. Way to work the rebuild Bob.

In his weak defense, I guess he did work a Manson trade - with a team on his no trade list. Nice practice run. Maybe he should contact New York. They may want to add a little something for their up coming fights with Washington.

Anaheim has a stadium to play in next year while Arizona doesn’t.

Eklund.  So take it with a grain of salt.

Interesting. If the medical staff signs off on Eichel, I’m onboard.

 

*assuming no one from the halos medical staff is part of this group.

Guerin admits 'obstacles' holding up Kaprizov talks

What a weird situation.  1 year on the big club, and already talking about a $9 million a season deal, and it's not getting done.

Buying out Suter and Parise is going to cost them a huge hit for a few seasons. They can't really afford that. I'd tell to just go back to Russia. We'll trade for Eichel and move on

Has anyone ever subscribed to AHLTV.com? $65 for all home and away games this season for the Gulls. All league games and the playoffs is $104. Since the Ducks are in a rebuild it might be interesting. The site says it's HD picture quality. I don't know how many cameras. But for $65 I'm not expecting NHL quality. I just want it to be watchable.

taking a look at the highlights should give you some idea.  I think it's maybe 3 cameras.  The main center cam, and two end cams.  I think the big problem, is the arena's are smaller.  So there is just so much you can do with the cameras.  

But for $65, wouldn't be a bad deal.  See if Pearaults shot is really what it is.  If Dostal is as much as a rock as he is being touted.  

Here are highlights from last season.  Looks like the video is passable.  Oh, and #1 goal.  Zegras, WTF.  Putting those warmup drills to good use.

The picture quality definitely isn't NHL caliber. The camera angles don't cause me any problems.

But, the picture quality... I don't know. I watched it on YouTube so maybe that affected it.

My favorites, Coyotes looks freaking fantastic.  

Calgary has that old Astros vibe that I like.

Maple Leafs really transformed an iconic look.

They'll start out trying to enforce it but by playoff time it's back to the usual
