As expected.

Wonder who the 12 no votes were.

Likely some of those who were playing in the KHL.

Wish the damn MOU would get signed already so I can see which tickets I have in my partial season ticket pack.

 

[Fel 96]

When MOU is signed and legal to sign players, TOR will sign defenceman Mike Mottau to a contract. Also, reported earlier, Cody Franson.

Woo.

 

[TaLoN]

It's about damn time!

 

[Billy Mays Here*]

Please let their be some trades yet tonight. I don't wanna have to wake up tomorrow and see a bunch at once. I'd like to savor them one at a time.

Woo.

 

[Sportsfan1]

Lockout officially over at last!

Good for Kurtis Foster, great guy!

No need. They're already talking about it.

Oh those sad sack Devils fans, I love all the shots they are taking.

 

[Fel 96]

The NHL will now have random drug testing throughout the regular season, playoffs and summer.

Good.

 

[rynryn]

i'm just going to go out on a limb here and say that most of the guys who are abusing are doing it with underhanded scrip shuffling. what is drug testing going to do?

 

[Fel 96]

Starting next season, all NHL players not on entry-level contracts will receive their own hotel room on the road.

[rynryn]

roughing it. it's too bad, really...liked all those "roomate" stories guys busted out. kinda enforced a team mentality, too.

 

[Fel 96]

From the NHL YT account.

 

[NHL1674]

Players getting their own rooms is pathetic. Ruins a nice tradition. Some of the best stories from around the league come from roomies pulling pranks on each other.

As for the drug testing, you know they're gonna target Spurgeon.

 

[Billy Mays Here*]

What was the point of this lockout? Two beds for one player? Those greedy ********.

 

[Avder]

Lockout officially over at last!

Good for Kurtis Foster, great guy!



Oh those sad sack Devils fans, I love all the shots they are taking.

Ah I have missed feasting on Devils fan tears.

But seriously, where are all the damned trades and signings? We were promised a Luongo trade, dammit!

 

[Fel 96]

Most of GMs - not all but most - I've spoken to tonight don't anticipate making any moves tonight. Trades and signings legal at midnite ET.

[Fel 96]

Trades and signings are now legally permitted in the NHL.

#NHL draft lottery set for April 29, two days after regular-season ends and one day before Stanley Cup playoffs get started.

A Stanley Cup.

That would make a good thread, honestly. I think I'm gonna make a thread about that. "Would you trade your team's best player for a Stanley Cup?"

Might be easy for a team like Columbus or Florida to say yes but I think team's like Tampa and Philly might have a little tougher time.

And where were those pocket aces when you got kicked out of the WSOP Lou?
