Unless I’ve missed something, so much for “we’ll get the CEO in, and the CEO will get the GM in”…

Me worried slightly if a certain person is just trying to say the right things…

Why isn't it October yet?

Vinik recanted on that last week due to the draft and free agency coming up. Decided that they needed a GM and was going to hire one before the CEO, since I guess the CEO search was going on for so long.

There's nothing quite like the sound of a frozen puck hitting the glass. It makes me happy.

CEO also oversees so much more than hockey ops that they need to make sure they get the right business guy in there. At this time of year, hockey ops needs to have things in place.

Thanks

I recant my statement. And replace it with “Please not Yzerman, please not Yzerman……” unless we inherit the entire nation of Canada.

Congrats Lightning fans! Your Flames fan I-4 neighbor to the north is jealous.

And also in addition to the draft....

We have UFAs and RFAs that need attention too, so it doesn’t come down to the wire to get guys signed.

Welcome to Hockey Bay USA, Stevie Y!

I have come to a conclusion... Martin St Louis = waterbug on meth...

RFA's just need to be tendered offers

UFA’s, another story… Even Kurvers could have tended offers to retain the RFA’s.

GM needed to make the decision on WHICH RFAs to tender though was my point.
