Personally I was hoping for a Quebec Nordiques return so the Detroit Red Wings can come back to the Norris. Expansion is great but until the dope in charge makes a TV deal in America to have more network coverage, the NHL wont be what it could be.

I hear you on that brother. Very sad state of affairs when it comes to the NHL's TV deal here in the states. Luckily some of my old buddies north of the border point me in the right direction to catch some games I otherwise wouldn't have access to.

Seattle would be an interesting city for an NHL team. They'd have to draw from the north to make it work.

To LA
Josh Leivo, $0.4m (2016-2019-EL)

To NSH
Paul Carey, $0.2m (2017-2019)

Preds get a 3rd/4th line vet who seems to be posting pts lately. We ship 24yo Josh Leivo to the Kings who sent the offer. Easy trade. LA to confirm. Good dealing with you Godzilla.

Kings agree to this trade with Nashville. Thanks for the deal Burkes Boys. I like Leivo's potential but man the guy needs to catch a break and get more minutes then he'll be lighting it up! Carey was expendable to make this happen.

Seems like the veteran will be missing a few games. I moved him to the IR spot on Fantrax.

Sabres get:
Oscar Klefbom, $1.5m (2015-2018)
Daniel O'Regan, $0.2m (2016-2018)
J.T. Brown, $2.1m (2017-2020)

Kings get:
Zdeno Chara, $5.4m (2017-2020)
Zack Mitchell, $0.3m (2017-2019)
Scott Wilson, $1.8m (2017-2020)

Kings trade young D Klefbom and his small cap hit for 40yo legend Big Z one of my favs. We also exchange some role players to round out the deal. Buffalo to confirm. Thanks Beef.

Kings Extension

Michael Stone, $3.6m (2015-2018) ranked 102 last yr and 127 so far this yr
Kings resign Mike Stone for 2.1m 2017-19
