I think that this summarizes it

That really shows how poorly run the NHL is.
I just can't stop coming back to that fact. No matter what blame the players share during the negotiations of the lockout, the bottom line is that the league has been mismanaged for a very long time and that falls on the owners and Bettman.
edit: also, I would expect top Russian players like Ovechkin, Malkin, and Kovalchuk to come back. I could see guys like Tarasenko and other younger, middle tier KHL stars getting roped in to staying. That's really where the KHL has the most leverage because those guys can be absolute stars in the KHL and make a ton of money, or be just "good" players in the NHL and make so-so money in comparison

Agreed. I also think that Bettman sold some owners a bill of goods that stated that the lockout will not last very long. That is why he told the sponsors that all was needed was a "tweak and a fix". Neither he nor the owners expected the response that they got from the players. And greatly underestimated them.

I absolutely would not want to be the guy for the NHL walking into conference rooms and trying to convince corporate sponsors to partner with my league for the next decade or so. That job would be tough enough considering the NHL's popularity relative to other sports in the USA. It's just made that much harder given the inability of the players and owners to come to a deal in a reasonable manner. You know we're going to go through this thing again in 8 years.

Rupp wearing #17 now
Stralman listed as #6 on NYR website...
Halpern - 15. Pyatt - 14. Asham - 45 (probably for the # of games he'll be suspended this season)

I'm vaguely annoyed at how long it will take for games to get started. After all this lockout crap, another 2 weeks is killing me

I am okay if Asham is suspended for some games this season. The point of that signing was to add grit to the line-up. Of course I don't condone super dirty play, but I would rather this team be the aggressor than the opposite.
I still like the Pyatt signing a lot
Will there be a training camp this week?
Should we start expecting practice updates and such in the next few days.
Agreed, I'm glued to this site right now, can't wait much longer.

reading a ton of Rangers are on the ice. What a beauty site. Includes Nash too. No Gabby yet but likely tommorow
DZ too, good for him he needs to be out there and im sure the contract will get done
Andrew Gross @AGrossRecord
Feels like coming home. At a #NYR (informal still) skate. Richards, Nash, DZ, Boyle, Callahan, Staal, McDonagh, Step, Hags among 15 on ice

If he's suspended, it's hopefully for kicking some guy's ass at the end of a game or something. Nothing dirty.
The Pyatt signing was good. Steady player that's responsible defensively and can ship in some points. He makes the bottom six much stronger.
Yeah I don't think training camp starts until next week or maybe this weekend at the earliest, then it'll be real short and games start on the 19th

But there was already an existing CBA, no?
So now that there is an agreement in principal, can't the owners just lift the lockout so everyone can start practicing until the new deal is ratified?

You can't make this stuff up when it comes to the NHL.
Every time the league looks like it's going to make huge strides, getting public attention and finally some big corporate sponsors, it just derails itself.

So, this **** could still backfire? As in the lockout could still happen? Nothing seems done, really?

no no there's a tentative agreement...it sounds like it will ratify without any problems and training camp will be opening by this weekend at the latest. This is just what I gather from the multiple reports out there.
