“Fun Fest” Highlights

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 19:30:00 +1900

I went over to the RBC last night to check out how the Carolina Hurricanes first “Fun Fest” was going. I’m not very good at guessing the number of heads in a crowd, but if I had to make a guess I would say that there were probably a few hundred people in attendance. While the crowd looked a bit sparse at times, the food lines were long at the beginning and the ...

Brendan Shanahan wants to play, and play for the Rangers

Sat, 26 Jul 2008 02:05:00 +1900

We've made no secret our feelings that the NHL is a better place with Brendan Shanahan playing in it, and not just because he's one of the rapidly disappearing members of the Whale. He's a compelling personality, an ambassador of the game and an important voice that's helped shape the product we see today. So we're tickled that Shanny intends to play in 2008-09, as Michael ...

I got word this morning that the Lewiston Maineiacs have signed 15 year old Garrett Clarke their top choice (6th overall) of the 2008 QMJHL Midget Draft. The 5′11 and 175lbs defenseman was highly touted but teams were scared off because he made a verbal commitment to North Dakota this past winter. He was the Fighting Sioux’s youngest commitment ever.

The Mats Sundin Decision Matrix

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 15:00:09 +1900

Following the Mats Sundin saga over the last month, I've been thinking a lot about what Mats may be thinking about. What are the criteria that are important in his decision about where to play next season? What are the relative weights he will put on them. A valuable tool to help make a complex decision is a decision matrix... Put your criteria in the columns, your options in the rows, add some weights and scores, do the math and voila! Your highest scoring alternative is the way to go (although ...

The Columbus Blue Jackets have signed veteran center Mike York to a one year two-way contract. It will pay him $750,000 in the NHL and $100,000 in the AHL.
