Does anyone know if NHL Network in the US is going to be simulcasting Sportsnet's coverage (like they usually do with July 1 and TSN) or is it going to be some shitball homegrown show that consists of Tappen reporting signings 30 minutes after they occur?

sign a top 4 D and re-sign all our guys and just chalk in up as a winner of an off-season, Murray. And by top-4 D I don't mean Robidas. Don't sign Robidas.

A Biznasty Devils jersey would be awesome since he was pretty much Wayne Gretzky for the Cardiff Devils but I want him to go to the Panthers since he would be best friends with Luongo :allears:

That division has served us well in the past.

Also, Biz wasn't really Cardiff's Gretzky since he played defence for them. He would probably be better described as a unity of Bobby Orr and Zdeno Chara.

Stars-Senators have agreed to Spezza deal. Awaiting trade call for confirmation. I'm hearing three forwards and a draft pick. :vince:

Three substantial forward prospects and a draft pick sounds like a pretty good return for Ottawa, all things considered.

Chiasson is by far the best player in that package. Hope Spezza's back holds up.

Nick Paul rose a little this year. Big F who is great on draws and defensively. Has some scoring touch as well.

Corey Pronman @coreypronman · 2m
Alex Guptill is an abv-avg prospect. He's big, skilled, and quick, but has struggled with consistency.

Guptil was apparently charged for assault in March. For public urination in 2011. Per twitter.

has there ever been a team that has hosed itself more with players with no trades clauses demanding trades and then limiting the possible destinations than ottawa? first heatley and now spezza. either he was only willing to go to like two teams or the senators were being dumb and refusing to trade in conference/division because that return is incredibly bad. how do you not even get dallas' first draft pick?

Spezza's no trade list was only 10 teams. This wasn't due to a lack of teams to trade with.
