Around The NHL: Part Anybody's Guess (3/14: BoG approves realignment)

[nyr2k2]

Pierre LeBrun ‏@Real_ESPNLeBrun 2h The Toronto Maple Leafs have placed Mike Komisarek on waivers

Yeah was in another thread. Komi and Zach Boychuk. Amazing how far Komisarek has fallen.

Sorry for the repost...he's a super pest against us and he is 6'4" and 243lbs...still only 31 years old

he is something needed on this blueline although his cap hit isnt that good at all.. if he was 1mil - 2mil contract, i can see teams taking a chance.. he would be a better option than Bickel and Girlroy

Love to see him help Danny G and McD clear the front out for Hank

IDK what his contract is beyond this year, but if it's massive I'd imagine he's a compliance buyout candidate. He should garner some interest over the summer. If Wade-****in'-Redden can get a contract, Komi certainly can.

trade Brian Boyle to dump cap space. claim Komisarek.. put Gilroy and Bickel on waivers....
call up Kreider in Boyle's roster spot and move Miller back to center or try Callahan at center. he has played center before..

$4.5 mil this year...ouch

i believe he has 1 more year at 4 mil... it is still worth the risk. Rangers dont have that nasty dman that good teams have. Orpik on Penguins, McQuaid on Bruins, etc

Barring any significant changes, this is going to be a Jim Carey Vezina year.

Well it cant be too bad considering Hammy has a 3.5 million cap hit apparently lol.

 

[Clowes Line]

Can't wait for rivalry night! Wings and Wild, some rivalry, eh!

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Wednesday Night Rivalry... What a joke!

 

[The Gloaming]

NHL GM meetings conclude

Discussions about the introduction of a coach's challenge, the implementation of a hybrid-icing rule, the issues surrounding embellishment of fouls by players, the modification of rules regarding the size of goalie equipment, various player-safety issues, potential tweaks to the rules governing shootouts and faceoff concerns were among the topics discussed in a meeting that began at 10 a.m. and ran until about 5 p.m.

The morning sessions involved breakout groups discussing many of the aforementioned topics and the implications involved in adopting changes. The afternoon session was a big-group setting to discuss the findings from the breakout groups.

On the player-safety front, the National Hockey League Players' Association said it was ready to poll its membership this summer to see if the appetite for mandatory visor usage at the NHL level has increased.

Lupul makes it 1-0 Leafs.

 

[Clowes Line]

Awful start for the Wings. 1-0 Wild.

 

[Dorado*]

Wild playing with Jam and Grind below the hash marks and score

 

[silverfish]

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

The Wild look amazing, right now. They're playing such a quick game, it feels like it's in fast forward.

They're gonna go real far if they play like this every night.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Willem Dafoe is pretty mad about that no goal call.

Probably should have been called a goal.

 

[The Gloaming]

This officiating gets worse and worse every year.

Detroit gets ****ed. Not reviewable.

 

[Punxrocknyc19*]

Lindback just replaces Garon after Bozak makes it 3-0... now its 4-0 Kulemin.. Bolts are horrible defensively.

 

[Holocene]

God Tampa blows.

 

[Kershaw]

Kadri now 30 pts in 30 GP.

#Bust.

 

[Dorado*]

Kadri now 30 pts in 30 GP.

#Bust.

Cue Don Cherry diatribe

The winner will be some no one who is never heard from again?

Anyways Buffalo seems to have some team issues..

http://aol.sportingnews.com/nhl/sto...ta-suspension-nhl-trade-rumors-buffalo-sabres

Kaleta was *****ing about being scratched the game after his suspension to the media and Miller replied:

"He's being dramatic. We're not discussing what Patty says to you guys because that's just drama and he needs to just grow up if he's going to say that to you guys. He had a stupid play in a game, he sat, he was punished and he has to get over it and move on."

Miller did apologize but jeez this team has a lot of issues. I'd get rid of everyone if I were GM.
