assuming cap doesnt increase much or if at all next yr, do we resign the twins | if we sign sundin, we WILL NOT go into the season with sixty-nine thousand dollars of cap space. someone will be traded for picks or released.

Radulov has signed with a team in the KHL even tho he has 1 year left on his contract with the Preds, he's stated that he will play in Russia now, sucks for Preds fans.

Having a mill or two of room under the cap would've been great.

Even if we go into the season near the cap it's not that big of a deal. Like it or not players will get injured they always do which creates space. In the past we've either not used the cap space at the deadline or used it and picked up shitty players anyway so IMO I'd rather have all these depth signings and be sitting near the cap if Sundin does come.
If sundin doesn't come then Beiksa + who knows what else will probably be getting shipped out for a forward and fitting under the cap will be a mute point anyway.

So Radulov is heading to Russia. Quite surprised at the amount of people heading to Russia.

why is that suprising? the whole reason half (or more) of these euro guys came to the nhl to begin with was because of the money. if they can have the same or more at home, why the hell not?

I can see why fringe players like Chubarov would stay home but they had high expectations for Radulov.

I think people are deeply underestimating the KHL.... they have been in talks with Frölunda HC and Färjestads BK from the Swedish Elite League, HC Sokil Kyiv from the Ukraine. Kärpät from the Finnish SM-liiga and Energie Karlovy Vary from the top Czech League to have these teams join the KHL.
This league has alot of potential to expand.

they could just do a champions of nhl vs champions of khl thing in the summer, that would be good

Some teams have enough trouble traveling in NA let alone traveling between North America AND Europe.

it would be the stanley cup champ vs. the smirnoff cup champ (or whatever it'll be called), probably. OR maybe do an allstar kinda thing... best of the best from nhl vs. their best.
Noir, they will likely play on international sized rinks with international rules.

adding teams internationally to a national league would fuck up everything.
waaaay back in the day, the stanley cup champs used to play a game against the nhl all stars.
currently, the chl, qmjhl and ohl champs play in a little tournament called the memorial cup. it works very nicely to provide the country with a clear and concise champion for the country amongst a handful of elite leagues... for a ohl champ to walk away from the memorial cup emtpy handed doesn't take away from the fact that their still #1 in their respective league... even though the memorial cup is their version of the stanley cup, it's tradition.
north american hockey/sports fans have a love affair with the stanley cup, nothing will ever ruin that, even if the stanley cup champ loses a series against the euro champ to determine 'world champion'. it's all about marketing the game worldwide and creating rivalries, and exposing the product, it's not about rewriting tradition.

Apparently Jason Krog (former NHLer) has signed a 1 way deal with the Canucks.
He is listed on the NHL.com roster for the Canucks.
Krog was the leading scorer in the AHL last year and led his team to the Calder Cup.
