Unless he's comes with Suter, he's not worth that contract at all. Just watch.
Someone in here linked Wednesday at earliest for schedules I believe.

Maybe, but at the same time... Weber, G, Schenn, Couts, and the 16 other guys we put on the ice for the next 10 years would be awesome to watch.
Yes, it's true, fans of other teams. I hate you. I hate your teams. I hate your stupid colors and chants and traditions. What kind of a fanbase would reduce itself to that? Have some respect. If not for yourself, for the sport of hockey. Gosh, you are all such children. Hey you, shut up and sit down. Hey you, stand up and scream. What is this, a [insert team] game? Come on. Who cares about your team, anyways? You don't have any cups/don't have any cups since gramps and granny got married/only have one cup recently and you're a bad bandwagon fan as a result. Get on my level.
Stolen from here. The rest of the article pokes fun of every team in the NHL but doesn't live up to the venom in the opening paragraph.

In order for the Islanders to get a 6-8 seed at least two other Atlantic Division teams have to bottom out.. as much as I'd love for that to happen I just don't see it. There's young talent on this team, but the defense is still really thin and there really isn't all that much depth. They are at least one more year away.
In that case, give me 15 and a shot at Seth Jones or Nathan McKinnon
There's a good chance, but I'm kinda hoping he stays in the OHL for the rest of this year. They want him to be the #2 center behind Tavares, but they have no wingers to put on his line so they'd be setting him up for failure. Bring him in for camp and unless he lights it up, send him back.
I watched Niederreiter score 1 goal in 55 games last year. He's among the AHL leaders in scoring this year, but I don't think he can be relied on to score at the NHL level just yet unless you're going to put him on Tavares & Moulson's line which is a horrible idea - as bad as his lack of scoring was last year, his two-way play was even worse.
And Hammer just started skating again after getting a concussion in the AHL about a month ago...

No need for trades. Perry and Getzlaf will be here next season.

Fan-fucking-tastic!
I think they'll give Bonino the nod and see how it goes. Should be interesting. Koivu re-signed knowing that he would play a smaller role in the team in order to let the younger guys start taking over.
Or maybe they'll give Bobby his own line. He's been hinting at it for the longest time.
I think they'll leave Teemu on the second line so that he and Koivu can teach the young pups in their respective lines. Should be an interesting dynamic.
Ether!
At least they didn't say it was "hacked"
Soooooo Devils out of the playoffs in the East then? I think we can all agree that's a good thing.

Accidental because they had some idiot running their twitter, just like every other team. When are the Kings going to apologoze?

Hey, one question, Why are you allowing your kid to be on GAF? He seems a bit to young.

What option does he have? Can the KHL really afford to pay guys top NHL money.
Yes we can all agree on that.

I think they can pay alot for a couple of high profile signings, signing guys like Kovy will push KHL alot. Some Russians will probably also be okay with getting a lower salary just to be able to move home. I really doubt that we are going to see a general change in attitude to the best Russians generally playing in the KHL anytime soon though.
He was excellent for the Devils last year was he not?
edit: I thought you meant Kovalchuck, dammit.
Why should they should apologize? Its not their fault you get salty as fuck over stupid shit like Twitter.

A fairly down outlook, but not unrealistic. We'll see how it all pans out. This team feels a lot like the Rays did just before they broke out. Hopefully we make the right strides this year.

It probably might have been mentioned here but you can't bury salary in the minors anymore.
You can send players to the minors, it seems, but you can't bury their salary.
It's like this... any player who makes over minimum salary (which is 525k) plus 375k will have the remainder of their salary counting against the cap..
two way contracts exempt unless ahl salary is over 900k
So guys like Redden and Olesz are going to count against the cap.
The Rangers are going to have to shed salary.. that puts them over the cap and they still have to sign Del Zotto
EDIT1: Or maybe not.. Capgeek had Redden in the buried category... so the Rangers are okay
EDIT2: As for ELCs.. I don't think the performance bonuses count.. so they aren't subject to that rule

I don't always tweet but when I do it's only when we win and it's insulting the people that keep our fringe league alive
We'll still make the playoffs somehow.
lighten up francis.
All, I've created a GAF Yahoo! Roto Fantasy League!
There are a handful of spots left, and I'll be taking the first Gaffers who want in (though preference will be given to long-time members of the GAF hockey community.) PM me with your email address if you want in.

Visnovsky has to play for them this year (word is now he's going to), Bailey and Okposo need to step up and they need to get something out of Boyes if there's going to be any hope. Tavares, Moulson and Nabakov can only carry them so far...

Visnovsky is such a depressing story. If the league forces him to play, he'll probably just dog it all year and be a waste of money.
I hope Grabner finds the scoring touch he lost a bit of last year too. Be interesting to see who this year's Parantaeu is, benefiting from playing on the Tavares line. I (very optimistically) think that might be where Nino fits in to finally play up to his potential.
According to Visnovsky's agent, he'll report to the Isles if the KHL doesn't let him stay. Side note, Larry Brooks is saying the KHL tried to cut a deal with with Malkin, Ovechkin, Datsyuk and Kovalchuk to stay after the lockout was lifted...

I'd really like to see Johnny Gaudreau get some recognition after winning the championship for Boston College last year, tearing it up in NCAA this season, and he just won the WJC with the US (and led the tourney in goals).
Toss the kid a vote if you don't mind.

I wonder what Ovi will do. I saw him on the news the other day after the lockout ended saying he wont come back if they try to lower his salary at all, but I guess since they wont be doing that he will come back. It would be interesting f the KHL could offer him more. I wonder where the KHL gets so much money, the few games I have caught on the ESPN app on 360 didnt look close to sold out.
With our roster I wouldn't have faith but Lou is the devil.
That said, this is what we'll have with a healthy roster:
Kovalchuk-Zajac-Butler
Elias-Henrique-Zubrus
Tedenby-Josefson-Clarkson
Carter-Gionta-Bernier
Greene-Fayne
Tallinder-Larsson
Volchenkov (Salvador)-Zidlicky
Sprinkle Sykora in there if we manage to sign him.
