Status: offline 		What a bizarre situation in Chicago.  They fire their GM and I've been looking in to it.  They are pretty well screwed.  Kane and Toews will be FA's next year and they are already 4 mill over the cap for this year.  On top of that, they have FA's they need to sign.  If they are over the cap this year it's going to cause major problems for getting those guys signed next year. 

No way they can trade their 2 biggest abitros contracts in Huet and Campbell (not even DR is that stupid....well???).  They also have guys on their 3rd and 4th lines making 1st and 2nd line money.    What a disaster. 

As we get closer to training camp some lucky GM is going to get a steal on a pretty good player.  I don't see how Chi can get out of this mess without losing an asset on pennies to the dollar.  It'll be interesting.

Can't wait for this.  It's only about 3 miles from my house.  It's only the minors but still really cool.  They are going to be called the Allen Americans

Texas, well.    They aren't really all that good at coming up with nicknames and mascots.

Status: offline 		I'm starting to feel bad for the Hawks.  It's been a mess of an offseason for them.  Now the league is looking in to whether or not the circumvented the CBA by signing Hossa to a deal that they know he won't be around to see the end of.  It's a possible 5 mill cap hit and draft picks.  The league is trying to determine if they actually spoke about the possibility of him retiring before the contract runs out thus allowing Chi to get rid of his deal. 


Karma payback for employing Savard and Secord for so long

I think so too. They did very well for themselves after Heatley put the Sens behind the 8-ball in trade talks.
Michalek is a very good, skilled player.  Injury prone as a kid but put that behind him it seems.
Cheechoo is not the best skater and has not played well lately in the 'new' NHL, see if he can turn it back around in Ottawa.

Status: offline 		ny paper:

As for that $37.5 million playmaker, Gaborik's reputation for fragility certainly won't lessen after he stayed off the ice for Day1 of camp. The skating Gaborik has been doing at the training center for a couple weeks left him too sore to skate Saturday, and the Rangers plan to take no risks with an oft-injured winger who played in just 17 games last season.

"We just don't want to do anything stupid here with him," Tortorella said. "We want to be sure he's ready when the regular season starts."

Maybe he is lazy. Instead of skating hard 2 weeks before camp starts to get ready for
it he should be skating regularly all off season, perhaps he is but just trying to read
between the lines. No idea if he is or isn't but ....c'mon try something different for
groin maintenance during the summer Gabs....the NASCAR simulator of his certainly
isn't doing the trick.

Can't blame Morency ... thats how you make a roster and get a rep as a great teammate.
Phaneuf's a jackass. It's pre-season, Dion.
Too bad he runs after he hits.

Its a mess there.
Gretz tried damn hard to make it work, but that whole situation is close to imploding.
Lawsuits, investigations, poor play, and bankruptcy.
