Canadian expansion - according to TSN: NHLPA Executive Director Paul Kelly weighed in on the side of NHL expansion into Canada and increased revenue sharing on Team 1040 radio in Vancouver on Thursday. "We're very supportive of the Canadian franchises, not only because of the history and tradition, but also because of the results," Kelly explained on the TEAM 1040.
Could Hamilton really see a team? They already have an NHL size arena in place. Or will hockey return to Winnipeg? Or some other spot?
Foget expanding into Canada. Teams which create the least ammount of revenue, especially in the south, should be MOVED to Canada. The NHL shouldn't expand again, 30 teams is enough, maybe even too much. The NHL should definately bring more teams to Canada though, places like Hamilton and Winnipeg are perfect.
These things will never happen with Bettman in charge.
Exactly!

If a man speaks in a forest where no woman can hear him, is he still wrong?
i say move a couple of the struggling US franchises to canada. you think quebec city could support another team?
That's what I was getting at. There are so many teams that have a such a hard time filling seats and we have to share our revenue with all these teams, and we end up getting screwed. We are filling 21,273 seats, 41 games a season, and we are getting as much profit from that as Nashville, or Columbus.
And yes, Quebec City could probably support another team. As well as Hamilton and Winnipeg.
Sorry. I don't want the Habs to have to pay additional money to the welfare fund. It's near impossible to get a decent free agent in Montreal and NHLPA expects the Habs and their fans to prop up the competition.
Sorry.
Either move or fold up shop.

"Boob Boob Geoffrion"?
Can it get any slower than this? You know it's slow week when the stories are about a meat sandwich and Glen Murray being placed on, and then clearing waivers.
I can understand the posters who would like to have the meat sandwich...but Glen Murray? Come on now.
No TommyB, it can't possibly get any slower. But didn't that sandwich look better than Murray?

Can someone please pass this article on to Mats?
http://thehockeynews.com/articles/17334-THNcom-Blog-Homesickness-will-hi...
At least the NHL worked in our favour when they gave the Caknuckleheads the worst schedule in the league. Hopefully Mats realizes the crazy travel sched is not worth the extra $2.5-3M per year.
Since he doesn't already live in either Montreal, or Vancouver. A traveling schedule doesn't really matter since he will be away from home for the entire season...
hey that post looks oddly familar...

Who can this be, for facts' sake?

I swear I didn't steal it!
I'll trust you this time... but i've got my eyes on you?!?!
OK boys and girls.---Question- Who knows what ever happened or where PLEX-ANDREW might be.? I have not seen him on here for many months. Can we hold a summit with out him.? IAN
sure he cleared...all the idiot GM's are broke with the ridicules contracts that were tossed around a few weeks back...
although Murray is a duplicate of Shannahan...he doesn't fit our puzzle.
Ok so really
Why not make a play on this guy?
He has decent 'speed' and has a massize frame...put him in front of the nets and lets score some goals. A player like this could show Lats the power forward role (love him, but I think he could be more aggressive). Try and sign him - get him for 2 mill +, make a play for a top 4 d'man and were in!

brisebois-gorges-bouillon-o'byrne(-who i am excited about - BUT BULK UP!)
Sundin would be awesome to get, but if we lose ppl in waiting on Mats were gonna shoot ourselves in the foot
is smolinski gone?
what about tom k?
Ryder was Murray's replacement. Same type of player. So if Ryder wasn't good enough for us, the guy he replaced certainly isn't either.
Glen Murray is simply not good enough to be on the Habs. Let's just see how big the rush is to pick him up on waivers.
I'd take him if I were Gainey. (if the price was right) I realize his production hasn't been great the past couple of years, but he's a veteran and he's big and can play that gritty playoff style that this team lacked last year.
It's too bad the Murray from a few years ago isn't available, but I'd take him anyway.
