Rink rats!
Sources tell me talks between ESPN and the NHL are progressing. The head executives at ESPN have a strong desire to bring the NHL back to Bristol, Connecticut. The NHLPA is also showing strong support.
The NHL has already extended their current deal with the VS network. Word is ESPN could potentially replace NBC as early as next season. This would allow ESPN to carry the playoffs and the Stanley Cup finals. A Friday night package is also being discussed.
The two sides will continue to negotiate with a possible announcement coming sometime during the upcoming Stanley Cup playoffs.

Is the NHL coming back to ESPN?
Andy Strickland is reporting that ESPN is close to having a deal with the NHL again. This couldn't come soon enough.
