~Ron MacLean ate Betteman's lunch last night on CBC. Betteman is a bumbling fool. You almost have to wonder if he is running for office? Sounds just like a politician. I can't be the only person that finds him to be mind numbingly boring and uninspiring. [CBC]
~The Vancouver Canucks are going to attempt to sign the exciting Sedin twins, Daniel and Henrik Sedin. They aren't going to come cheap, it will be interesting to see if they end up on the same team or if they get spilt up. [Vancouver Sun]
~This is what the Bruin's GM had to say about the subject of signing Bruin's RFA Phil Kessel this summer.
Chiarelli would not even estimate what a deal with Kessel would amount to compared with Krejci’s three-year, $11.25 million contract and would only say that “we value them both a lot.” But salary-cap restrictions, obviously, preclude the Bruins from giving Kessel too much more than Krejci.

Good update. That sucks about Hossa. In the back of my mind I was thinking the Wild would come through. Yeah, right.
ReplyDeleteI looked at the Hockey News draft edition and the Wild are almost in Jordan Schroeder range. I'm not 100% sold on him, but it could be a lot worse. That all being said, they might not get a chance at him.
Goon, a really good book at GF library is the new Herb Brooks biography. Not a lot of Sioux stuff, but a lot of WCHA stuff.
Take it easy. Thanks for the great update.
I don't think Schroeder will be around by the time the wild draft.
ReplyDeleteI have heard rumblings that if Schroeder goes top 5 - 10 he might sign.
I was hoping just hoping that Hossa wanted to team up with Gabby and was hoping the Wild were going to try and sign him. I think the Wild should make a play for the Sedin twins.
