PrintHey look, it's already the Labour Day long weekend! Unless you're still working today, of course.
- Update (1:50): Kovalchuk deal officially done. The other contracts under investigation will most likely be allowed as well.
- Added (11:51): A couple tweets from Darren Dreger (one and two): "TSN says a deal between the NHL and the PA has been reached and they're working on paper work for 5pm." "Kovalchuk deal will also get approved as part of the new global settlement." Of course, this naturally means for us that Luie's contract is also in the clear. More will obviously come later today.
- The Camrose Kodiacs of the AJHL will retire Mason Raymond's old jersey in their season opener against the Okotoks Oilers on September 10th.
- Mikael Samuelsson had a very low-key summer.
- The Vancouver Sun and the Province both got a few Canucks to talk about the possibility of Roberto Luongo's contract being voided.
- The Canadiens finally inked Carey Price to a 2-year deal yesterday.
- The Avalanche re-signed Chris Stewart for 2 more years as well.
- The Penguins have signed Mike Comrie to a 1-year contract. Looks like Hilary Duff has been spared of moving to Edmonton permanently.
- Scott Arniel isn't promising any miracles for the Blue Jackets.
- The Predators ownership group has completed their purchase of the franchise ownership shares. This means that local residents now own more than 95% of the shares.
Open topic for today: As many of you know, Yahoo! Sports NHL Fantasy for this year has started up, which means it's time to gauge interest. How many of you would like to be in a Nucks Misconduct league? And would you prefer Head-to-Head or Rotiserrie (there'll probably be a couple leagues, so we can have 1 or 2 of each)?

Comrie at league minimum is a great steal for the Pens if he can play well as a winger and find chemistry with either Malkin or Sid.
Comrie prefers to play wing. He’ll probably have lots of sucess playing on a line with Crosby and Kunitz.
As for the fantasy league, I’m down for either or, but I guess I would prefer a Rotiserrie.
yeah, there’ll be a few of us who want to do both.

As I’ve said before, the Pens have made some great moves this offseason.
"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"
I’m seeing that they only have 5 legit D-men signed… ’sup with that?
It does look like a solid D-corps so far though.

I don’t put much stock in Comrie anymore. He’s into all kinds of Duff.

That’s me too. I prefer the leagues where you "set it and forget it…points only ( though I am down with throwing a few other stats in there and building a team ..I am not down with the kind where you have to pay attention every day and basically become a GM…trading and shit )
I stay away from fantasy cuz it just seems too time consuming…or would be for me!
But yeah, I finished near the bottom last time, so here’s more dead money for you.

that we traded Juice and Alberts to the Rangers for Marc Staal’s negotiating rights, then signed him to a 4 mill a year, 4 year deal.

a week or two back that the season had started and Minnesota had already played and won their first 14 games before the Canucks had even played their first. I have no idea what that dream meant.

so far on this thread, we have 9 for head-to-head, 1 for rotiserrie, and 5 for either/both. i say we start with a head-to-head league, and see how quickly it fills up and how many people want another league.
also, a couple of these people mentioned the points-based league you ran last year that i didn’t participate in, so i’m wondering what format they’re talking about.

The problem with that is that
people stop paying attention and don’t fix their team if there are injuries and stuff. In a head to head format you have to set your lineup each week and it keeps you more plugged in.
