    Jarnkrok :(

    I'm going to be so sad when he's gone.

    Either him or Colin Wilson will be going I think. This whole expansion draft thing is bullshit though. Team should have to start from scratch and play with their draft picks and hold amateur try outs. Sign players that don't belong anywhere from the KHL and AHL etc. and only touch free agents. They would suck for a long time but whatever.

    he's the best dinosaur on that team lol. Darren Helm would also be a good one.

    It'll be worth it when they move in 5 years though, for Regina lol

    I hope Vegas is dumb enough to take Colin Wilson over Jarnkrok. Not that Wilson is bad, but Jarnkrok is the better (and more important) player with a lucrative contract situation.

    I don't get how the NHL works. Regina would sell out all their games just like Winnipeg does.

  9. Nashville should protect Jarnkrok instead of Neal.

    Agreed. Neal is kind of a bum imo

    I'm suspecting Sheahan will be exposed and be the one to go unless DET can trade him in the next week. Hope you're right though just for the sake of shedding Abby's contract

    Regina has a population of 230,000 people and most likely all of those people are already hockey fans.

    Las Vegas however has a population of 650,000 people and I seriously doubt even 1/4 of those people are hockey fans.

    The league is trying to tap into new markets and gain new fans. Canadian expansion is pointless since most Canadians are already fans.

    Canadian expansion means dollar signs man. I don't get trying to convince people they like hockey more than football.

    Canadian money is weak right now so it wouldn't even be a huge net gain.

    also Nashville Predators just made the finals and most people didn't even consider that a "hockey town" until now.

    It can work.

    Who the fuck wants to live in Regina or Winnipeg (not Jacob Trouba)

    I'm sure it can work in Las Vegas but still question why Phoenix still has a team

    Hey man Winnipeg is not that bad lol. Whenever I visit Toronto I can't wait to come back to be honest. Absolute shit show fast moving city that is. Not for me. Also don't mind having a house worth 200k instead of a small condo worth 800k in Toronto lol.

    I'd think I'd fault that more to phoenix not being a good team for a long time.

    This new GM though seems to have them working in the right direction.

    They can especially peak if the Cardinals/Suns both stink.

    Well they can stay there no matter what thanks to revenue sharing. The Leafs have been fronting the cost of that team for years now.

    House bragging? I thought Canadians were supposed to be kind and charitable, if I didn't know better I'd think you were Hamilton scum
