SheaWeber6 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Wow, let me just say, with the wonderful commissioner and the amount of respect that is shared between GMs in this league is mind-boggling, and I hope that this will stay the same for the entire life span of this game.

Tony Romo Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Say there is no NHL season next year, How will we decide the 1st overall pick and the rest of the draft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuck2xtreme Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 I do wonder about the cap next year.... supposedly up to $70 million range, but who knows what will happen with the new CBA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NHL can't afford another lost season, especially so soon. Along with the fact that it would mean losing all that momentum they figure they gained by having Los Angeles win the Cup, I don't think we'll see a lost season. Maybe the first 6-8 weeks... hopefully none though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuck2xtreme Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 i hope they will come to an agreement..another lockout would really suck...no nhl ...no fantasy leagues...double sucks If the NHL is locked out, we will still operate. We'll create the league in NHL13 and I'll sim it if I have to I really don't see why they shouldn't come to an agreement in time. The issues this time around should be far less contentious and while I'm sure there will be some blustering back and forth and some issues that cause problems, I don't see anything worth cutting into/jeopardizing the season over.

y0shi Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Worst lockout ever was the NFL one. Not a single game missed in the regular season, but the fact that I had to worry every day for what I was going to do if there wasn't fantasy football for a season.

canuck2xtreme Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 Curious question.... With reports that Jordan Staal turned down a 10 year contract extension offer (rumoured to be in the $6 million per year range), I keep hearing from various places that Carolina is his destination of choice to play with his brother Eric. Last season, filling in as 2nd line center with Crosby out most of the year, Staal hit 25 goals and 50 points, despite not getting the prime opportunities afforded a top center with Malkin around scoring in bunches. His playoff performance was what stood out, 6 goals and 9 points in 6 games, and a +2 rating in a first round series that was completely devoid of anything resembling defensive play. Eric Staal was the go to guy in Carolina, but only managed 24 goals, outpaced by his younger brother. He did hit 70 points on the year but 70-80 points seems to be his average nowadays. My question is, taking all that into consideration, IF Carolina did land Jordan Staal somehow... which Staal would you put as the top center? Do you stick with Eric, or do you see what Jordan can do with Skinner and see if Eric can jumpstart the 2nd line? OR, do you load them both up on the top line with Skinner?

y0shi Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Here are some random thoughts: - Jordan Staal to Toronto. It's too quiet in Toronto, this would be the ultimate draft-day splash. - Bobby Ryan to Carolina. Big winger for Staal? Check. - Rick Nash to San Jose. Rumblings of Pavelski/Clowe/Demers + 1st, likely for Nash + - JVR to ???. This is the only one I can't make a "Wild" prediction on. Okay, fine, JVR to the Wild.
