Saw that Nashville might be going after Doan. That would be an excellent fit and a nice coup for that franchise after losing Suter.

I still think Doan re-signs with Phoenix....

He does seem like a Nashville-type player, but if the rumors are true, Doan is asking for way too much money.

Edit: Just saw that Semin signed in Carolina. Awesome!

Not that familiar with Carolina so I tried to put together their roster with CapGeek's tool. Is this what it's going to look like?

Probably something similar, Tlusty might be in the top 6 over Ruutu and Faulk could crack the top D pair. Not a bad looking team though if Faulk continues to progress and Skinner is back to 2010 form.

Something similar to that.

'Canes fans have been speculating in this thread.

Yeah, on paper you have to figure they should be the favorites in the Southeast, for sure.

Sneaky Priest · 07-26-2012, 07:07 PM

Wow, it might be fun to watch this Canes this year.....I had no idea they were interested in Semin, i figured they were done after picking up Staal.

MuckOG · 07-26-2012, 07:10 PM

NHL Network question......I just switched from Comcast to DirectTV. The service I got doesn't include the NHL Network as part of the package...however, when I purchase Centre Ice, will I get NHL Network with that?

NHL1674 · 07-26-2012, 07:10 PM

LMFAO cuz most Devils and Wings fans wanted Semin as plan B.

I don't think so.......

Victorious Secret · 07-26-2012, 07:12 PM

Who knew that after last year the Canes and Wild would be one of the most exciting head to head matchups.

I know if you had Dish Network... the answer would be yes. Not sure about Direct TV.

I just saw this on the Direct TV website:

TSN's Who's Better poll is pretty funny. Hall beat Stamkos and Eberle is currently beating Crosby.

What a joke.

Generic User · 07-26-2012, 07:31 PM

Yeah, ahh, the question was, "Who would you rather have?" not "Who do you have?"

What a joke.

All that means is more Oil fans voted than either Pens or Lightning fans.....The poll question should've been: "Who is your favorite player?"

Fel 96 · 07-26-2012, 07:35 PM

It's almost as bad as Habs fans and the ASG in 2009.

rynryn · 07-26-2012, 07:39 PM

So does Ryan Jones live here or something?

his last tweet had him getting a tattoo before "going back to Minnesota"
he even said "minnesota" instead of minny.

Fel 96 · 07-26-2012, 07:43 PM

Amazing.

he does in the off season. i also want to say that his parents moved here a few years ago.

rynryn · 07-26-2012, 08:03 PM

that's strange...he was here for the Hobey award banquet and a few camps but he never really had reason to spend much time here that I can think of. School in Ohio. Weird. and his parents, too? did he marry a local?

i honestly don't know. my brain is remembering a back and forth that he had last summer when he was tweeting about where he was. an edmonton fan gave him grief and he responded that his parents live here or something.

he only really spends a month here, based on what i remember.

...and here is where he trains...
