Chester™ Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Its been a well known fact Seguin has liked a few extra curricular activities for some time. Boston have clearly had enough especially with a fairly 'strict' coach. Though the feeling seems to be, if he had scored extra goals/points in the Cup Finals, he would still be a B. And Loui Eriksson isnt a kid. He's 28 in a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A signing here or a signing there gets a mention. But the big bad Bruins sign their goalie to an 8 year $54 million contract and not even a blip on the JKB NHL radar. Screw all of you.

Chester™ Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 SKA St Petersburg to announce the signing of Kovy tomorrow. Turns out he might have done the Devils a favour. They couldnt afford, being 300m in debt, and their cap space penalty, for I think the circumvention when he signed the deal, is a lot less.

Before the last realignment. East was: Adams, Patrick West was: Norris, Smythe So going on that, I see no real reason why they cant rename the divisions with the names above. I guess they might be scared because folk will moan (generally rivals) at the names. The 4 mentioned are arguably the 4 greatest anyway, so I dont see a problem.
