NHL OFFSEASON - 2011

Steven Stamkos is apparently really close to resigning with the Lightning. I'd expect a very lucrative deal that will see Stamkos last in Tampa till his mid 30's.

So with Parise and Weber going to Arb. Drew Doughty I believe is the only top RFA left and I'd expect him to re-up in LA.

If the Jeff Carter thing does happen, I will poop my pants out of stunned surprise. One, it would mean that Howson actually pulled something off, and I'd be surprised. Two, it'd mean that unreliable twitter sources were actually correct and I'd be even more surprised. Three, the cap just went up which means that Philadelphia has some more wiggle room. Four, We're the Blue Jackets, things like this don't happen to us. Five, Carter just signed a 27 year deal and it'd be a bad PR move as far as NHL players are concerned on the Flyers part to deal a guy days before his NTC kicks in.

I'm cautiously optimistic about the Jeff Carter rumors. It makes sense and then it doesn't make sense at all. I don't want to lose Voracek (and he's been apart of most of the rumors) and I've been burned by this team so many times at the draft by rumors that didn't come true that I'm not even going to allow myself to envision Jeff Carter on this team. Damnit, I just did!

I'm still really looking forward to Friday. I've never been this anxious for the draft before. It just needs to get here.

How is Philadelphia ever going to give anyone an extension if they dick Carter over like this? Their no-trades won't be worth crap.

It's not like they would be the first or the last to do something like this. Hell, the Bruins tried to trade Savard after he re-upped on a "lifetime" deal and said he wanted to finish in Boston and they also tried to trade Thomas after he resigned and said he didn't want to go. I think everyone involved knows that nothing is a guarantee.

Well just ask the Flames and their billion No Trades and No movements (all to players that don't really deserve them, I'm looking in your direction Matt Stajan). It's really hard to swing a deal these days.

I still think Jeff Carter is the next Olli Jokinen.

Even a prominent Canucks blogger thinks your 2010-11 Vancouver Canucks were a bunch of fakey whiny playoff floppers.

Did they almost get moved with pending no-trade clauses, though? You don't sign a no-trade clause so you can get traded the day before it kicks in.

Besides, there are much less essential players to move than Jeff Carter. Scott Hartnell, for example.

Empty seats everywhere at the Awards. When does the NHL stop this Vegas experiment and move the awards back to Toronto, or at least somewhere that cares about hockey. Rotate each year like the draft even, but keep it in a city that actually has a team.

I'd rent a tux for a Detroit or Columbus awards show.
