Maybe Northwest won't be as crappy next year with Vancouver still being Vancouver, Minny getting top 2 free agents, and Edmonton/Colorado has young core that will improve. While Calgary will finish 9~11 again and won't rebuild.

Sometimes it's about winning. Sometimes it's about money. Sometimes it's about ice fishing and a mall with a roller coaster.

Just like the Wolves getting Rubio last year at this time, you just know this means no chance the NHL season starts on time. #MNWild

I think Heatley has 2 years left. His cap hit is 7.5 but he is only owed 6 and 5 mil the next two years so if they had to I think they would be able to move him.
That said I guess it hinges more on who is coming off the books over those next 2 years, if you're not losing anything important then they're alright where they are with 2 big contracts off the books over the next couple years.Favorite Teams:

I'm just glad they didn't team up in Pittsburgh or Detroit."You got it man. I don't watch hockey." SidVish"I thought LeBron James was just going to be another addition to help me score."

Re: The Official NHL 2012 Off-Season Thread
They must have really wanted to play together because they both could have definitely got more elsewhere but I don't think anyone else could pay them as much to play together (Detroit but they'd have to make room).Favorite Teams:

Re: The Official NHL 2012 Off-Season Thread
Nice to see them go to a team where they can start something special as opposed to just joining an already stacked team (although like I said you wouldn't have heard me complainging at all had one of them opted for the Blackhawks).Favorite Teams:

With Lidstrom's retirement, and Detroit not landing either of the big two, the Red Wings situation for this upcoming season intrigues me.Comment

I think they'll get Semin for sure and I think he'll be a really good fit there but their D is definitely going to be hurting this year from the looks of it.Favorite Teams:
