There better not be a lockout.. I'll be in LA for opening night and really want to go to the game there.

Simmonds doesn't PK or play defense.

They both score at similar rates.

Dubi >> Simmonds.

Looks like Hartnell just got locked up to 6 year deal. Is Snyder serious? Obviously contracts of over 5 years are going to be removed in the new CBA. Get your players signed long term while you still can! What a joke.

The other owners should step and and say that the players contracts should have to fit within a certain number higher than the cap. Say the cap is 60 million, your actual pay roll should not be able to exceed 70. The Flyers would be screwed for Giroux.

Mike Danton denied entry to the UK. Had signed for Coventry Blaze of the British Elite League.

I'm sure most people know his story

It's a shame, David Frost is a *******, but that is no excuse for hiring a mercenary to kill someone.

Lololol Neuvirth called Holtby "the weakest competition" he's ever faced and said he's the No. 1 guy in Washington.

Idiot.

It's very odd. I really feel for Danton for the abuse he took in Jr., but at the same time, I can't feel that much sympathy for him since he admitted that he hired a mercenary to kill his own father.

Not even sure his father was the target. The story is just so bizarre.

People speculate it's David Frost who was the target, but Danton said it was his father. Not sure who to believe. But it's not the right thing to do, regardless of who it was.

Not sure about that. Danton said on the video that he has not and will not say who the target was. It's just a freaking odd and bizarre story.

But I agree with you. Regardless of who it was, still the wrong thing to do.

I watched a documentary last yr on him and he said it was his father right into the cameras.

Steve Jefferson is the father.

And yet he was prosecuted as if Frost was the target. You'd think that the FBI agent posing as a hitman would be clear on that, right? Bizarre either way.
