Blackhawks have apparently re-signed Stalberg to a 2 year deal, terms unknown at the moment.

e: also the longest serving Maple Leaf on the roster right now has only been there for 3 seasons. lol.

Kulimen. Schenn has played 2 less games than him, and is 21 years old.

Kulemin, Schenn, and Grabovski all apparently debuted at the same time, though you are correct that Kulemin has played the most games with the Leafs.

Joey Mac inked to a 2 year deal in Detroit. Terms not disclosed.

Incoming Ozzie retirement announcement?

[Ishido]

Slated to likely be the #3. Maybe the #2 if whoever they pick up (looking to be Conklin) doesn't hold up very well.

In other news, many Wings fans and most Wings bloggers are gigantic tools.

The last 3 posts are some of the most ridiculous shit I've seen as far as hockey-related media goes.

Wow he doesn't want Commodore to wear 64? What a killjoy.

[Ishido]

No, because the Detroit Red Wings are much too proud of an organization to stoop so low. Having fun? PSSH. Let me put my monocle back in

Spoiler: show

so I can throw a sea creature onto the playing surface

[Kirin]

Hell yeah Commodore 64!

Late, but sorta sad to see Fehr go. He's always been one of my favorite guys personality wise, even if he does have two bum shoulders and is allergic to screening the goalie. Also, for the 'Peggers, he's on Twitter. Also, if you didn't see 24/7, his wife is smokin' hot.

Caps Development Camp started today, nothing too exciting but by the scrimmages at the end of the week I'm hoping for another breakout guy like Marcus Johansson or Cody Eakin. Gonna be tough for anyone to crack the top 18 skaters though.

Also, Beninati and Laughlin, THREE STARS BITCHES. IT'S NOT A FRACAS UNLESS DALE HUNTER'S INVOLVED JOE BEE.

I agree with the Rangers rating. Micheletti is great, but ole Sam isnt the same without JD, he misses shit alot and other then his amazing voice, doesnt bring anything good to the table.

Also fuck your second page BG, this is hockey, the greatest sport on the planet.

Oilers ship out Andrew Cogliano to the ducks for a 2nd round pick in 2013.

Was thinking I wouldnt mind him on the Kings for our 3rd line and move him up to the 2nd line when injuries happen.

[Thoronas]

I can't believe I missed this. Minnesota owner lets slip that Winnipeg is going to the central division.

Our division would include the Winnipeg Jets, us, the Blues, the Nashville Predators, the Dallas Stars, Chicago Blackhawks, and maybe the Columbus Blue Jackets… maybe not depending on if they go east or west. I am all in favor of that. I think that is a grand slam, home run, hat trick for our team.

We’re all Central Division now. All of our teams, except for Columbus, all of our teams will be Central Division. We’ll play less teams in Canada. We will play every team home and away at least one time.

If that's true hooooooly shit Chicago is in for an easy ride unless Dallas gets their shit together.

[Richybear]

The Cogliano thing was coming. And unless he steps up a bit this year, I can see them doing the same thing to Gagner next year.
Cogs has speed for days, and trading him to another team out west means he'll get to burn the Oilers repeatedly this season.

If that's true hooooooly shit Chicago is in for an easy ride unless Dallas gets their shit together.

Yesssssssss that would be awesome yessssssssss

[BadKarma]

Yesssssssss that would be awesome yessssssssss

Predators say hi.

How did no one consider that as an option back a month or so ago when everyone came up with maps of potential realignments? That'd be badass

[isladar]

"Hi" to Shea Weber's beard and Pekka Rinne. I'll fucking take it.

[Deader2818]

Im still not digging the whole 2 division per conference thing if it means the top 4 from each division makes.

[Deader2818]

Will some encouraging news for us Kings fans at least. Seems Penner has been reporting to the Kings practice facility every day at 7:30 am and has already lost 10 lbs so seems he is taking it seriously.

[Izzy]

If Detroit ends up in the fucking Northeast division, I will rage so fucking hard.

[Selamis]

Ideally I think Columbus will get moved to the East to the Southeast and they'll keep Detroit in the Central just to keep the rivalry in place with the Hawks.
