I'm surprised a guy like Ryan Whitney is on a PTO with You'd think teams like and could use his services but then again he probably had a small list to pick from before choosing the Blues.
Mason Raymond on a PTO deal with man the Leafs lucked out having a top 9 guy fall into their lap. He's got plenty of speed and trying out in Toronto means he'll get lots of media attention for other teams to keep tabs on him in case Toronto passes on him.
Tim Thomas. Age doesn't matter for good players. Hasek. Brodeur. All these guys are competitors and they can play any time they want. Whether Thomas really wants to play is another issue. And the statement he was trying to make with was a total failure if he thought he was leaving the team high and dry. LOL Stanley Cup appearance without your sorry butt in tow. Suck it up and get back on the ice little man. Thomas could easily make a serious contender because it wasn't all that long ago that the Panthers were a play-off team.
Alrighty then. Who wants to start this thread off? What, No one? Alright. I might as well throw my predictions out there for best teams in the West this year.
PPG's TOP 8 WESTERN CONFERENCE TEAMS THAT MAKE THE PLAY-OFFS
8. Will need to keep up this year 7. Turned a corner this off-season and will contend 6. A new owner makes big difference, so do a few key trades. 5. New ownership makes huge difference, rebuild happens fast. 4. talented line-up always in it annually. 3. Always in the mix with Quick! 2. Lundqvist only made these guys better, Thanks Papps! 1. What did you expect?! Obviously my Hawks will be 1st in line! LOL
My Wildcard team with the potential to spoil it for a contender and sneak into the post season is but only if they land a starting goalie!
Nothing personal men! Just my 2.5 cents! LOL
BTW how many teams make the playoffs per conference now that we've been realigned!?
When I joined the site the first thing through my head was who the hell is in charge of hockey?
