He certainly was. Part of a pretty big trade actually that sent him here. Great hire. Would fire Maurice in a second for Housley. 

 

well he must have been part of the 1.0 era.

 

yeah I'm giving Maurice one more chance, but who could possibly be available if he gets canned? I wonder if Arniel is available, I mean he did get the Moose to the Calder finals in 09

Obviously @iHeart

Arniel sucks. Id probably look at a possibly soon to be fired coach depending on what happens this year... barry trotz types of look for a young up and comer. Who? No idea. 

 

Perhaps an NCAA coach would work. Think id prefer someone who can relate more to a younger roster and someone who uses the talent to the best of their abilities. Puts them in position to succeed

Housley will have his work cut out for him, but what rookie HC doesn't...? I'll be rooting for him - except against the Jets.

That's whole lot of $$ for Drouin. Not sure he's earned that. Wow.

Seems about right for players of his potential coming off their elc 

The kid is good...he was my favourite player from that draft class. Honestly thought I'd take him at #1 that year, if I were a GM. Despise the Habs with every fibre of my being, so it'll be tough to cheer for him...

Hawerchuk for Housley. Trading #1 center for one of the best offensive dmen of his time.

Bob Mac reprting Wild's Jonas Brodin likely to be traded.  Hope Jets are in on that.

23 years old.  6'1, 194lbs.  LHD.

Phaneuf is from Edmonton.

 

Says management wanted to keep him but coach did not.

He should be grateful he got to play so many years in the best pro hockey league in the world with minimal talent with the exception of dropping his gloves.

The Columbus Blue Jackets have a trade in place with the Vegas Golden Knights that will be announced at the NHL Expansion Draft on Wednesday, according to Aaron Portzline of The Columbus Dispatch.

The Blue Jackets are expected to give Vegas the 24th-overall pick in this year’s NHL Draft, and a prospect in return for Golden Knights GM George McPhee selecting one of Ryan Murray, Matt Calvert, or William Karlsson.

So VGK ends up with a first-round pick, a prospect, and a pretty damn good roster player.  I wonder how many other teams they can bully into deals like this.

Indication of how weak draft is. Late 1st round pick? Nah we don't need it.

 Arizona to trade goalie Mike Smith to the Calgary Flames in short time. That pretty much frees up both CAL goalies now.

Official: Mike Smith to Flames  for G Chad Johnson, D Brandon Hickey & conditional 3rd rounder.

Trade freeze now in place.

A player refusing to waive his NMC falls 100% on the GM, not the player. It's shocking that people expect players to waive their NMC. That's not how business works. Don't want to have a problem with NMC's? don't hand them out like chiclets.
