Teemu Selanne writes on his MTV3 blog that he is not going to go to another 'play-off contender' -- Janne Virtanen (@Amateur_hockey)

1,4,5,6 is probable, but you can't have a 1 & 3 from same division.

I hope so. Brown's got 2 more years at just over 3 a season and he's a huge upgrade over Hudler and Cleary. Its rumored LA is looking for a young defenseman and solid secondary scorer in return. Unless LA will take Hudler (ufa) or Cleary, I.don't see this happening.

We've got one of those too I like our chances against everyone but the Nucks.

Random thoughts: This power play needs to be better. Period. 0/5 is unacceptable, especially with the 4 and 5on3's they've been whiffing on. Additionally, if you want to win the big games, your best players have to be your best players. That being said, I was less impressed with the Nucks defensive game than I was depressed by the lack of sustained hustle by the Wing's top two lines. Cleary is NOT a top 6 forward - stop forcing it! Howard is elite. Helm, Abdelkader and Miller remind me of the Grind Line. Ericsson is a defensive liability. His offensive "instincts" lead to odd man rushes the other way and pucks intercepted directly in front the net. The Joe is amazing this year. Does my heart good to know our barn is force to be reckoned with again. Quincy's ass had an appointment with Babcock's boot until he scored. Less time in the box please. He looked better than Ericsson.

No to both.

Yes. Rumors started flying right after this trade. LA is determined to fix their team NOW.

Jack Johnson and a 1st

Jeff Carter to LA fyi

That seems to be the scouting report on Howard - run him, get under his skin and take him off his game...doesnt work but it still happens.

We can haz goal please?

Mulligan the second?

That song sounds kinda rapey. Long A.

Howie!

Shoots left and can line up on either side.

Ericsson gives me ulcers.

Its been all wings. I've kept an eye on him and seems a bit tentative.

Thursday

Any scouts there tonight?

Showcasing Kindl on the PP. Interesting ...

CBA expires in September, so there's no chance of that happening unless it was a 2013 pick.

Ott and Ribeiro available? Yes please. http://espn.go.com/blog/nhl/post/_/id/14864/stars-ott-ribeiro-could-move-by-deadline

Stuart for sure, but even that didn't excite me the way trades pre-2000 did.

Not sure if this deserves its own thread. I know the Habs said he's not available, but never say never this tine of year, especially when Ken Holland is involved.

Joey has been a very pleasant surprise - now I know how Boston and St. Louis feel.
