Neufy161 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Yes! 28 teams. 4 conference. 7 teams each! Play teams outside your conference twice a year. 21 teams X 2 games = 42 games. Play teams in your conference 6 times a year. 6 teams X 6 games = 36 games. 78 Game Regular Season. I'm dreaming, I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 That's what I hope happens. If it did I'd love to get Antoine Vermette as our third line center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johngould21 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Jamison is NOT going to get this done by the 15th, not with Glendale City having second thoughts over their lease agreement with the Coyotes. Some of these politicians are wanting to get re-elected this fall, and by throwing $25M a year at this dead horse, they most certainly won't get back in. Thus, this gives Doan a window to get out of this hand-shake deal, nothing is signed, and continue negotiating with teams that are still interested. At 4yrs/21M, he would be well within the Canucks pay schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Te@m1040 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 at this point I dont even care. All I care about is having a NHL season this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pears Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 All the young talent on both those teams and Vermette is the guy who gets you excited at the thought of a dispersal draft? No Tavares, O.E.L., Okoposo, Yandle, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Common sense Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Looks like Doan will be a free agent, and locked out. What a double-whammy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOMapleLaughs Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 How did those idiots get that arena in Glendale in the first place? I guess my question for the taxpayers is, 'Well, you shut it down... Now what?' It's not like they have people knocking down their door to fill that bloody arena...

TOMapleLaughs Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 As for Doan, we've seen every one of his so-called deadlines come and go. All he's done is weaken his bargaining strength with the Coyotes. But imo a hand shake is a done deal to a guy like Doan. He'll be a Coyote until they nail the doors shut.

Provost Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Still want Doan of course.... especially if the deal is like what he has apparently agreed to in principle in Phoenix. 4yr, 21 million = only 5.25 cap hit... that isn't so bad for a player nowadays. Most of it paid up front in signing bonus so that at the end of the contract if he isn't playing well or retires (assuming they grandfather all existing contracts under current rules), he would be paid very little actual cash, and easy to move off the books to another team who needs the cap hit.

Jai604 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I wouldn't be surprised if Doan continues to wait for Jamison after the 15th...... But he might sign somewhere for that signing bonus, who knows. Hard to say at this point. His loyalty to the Coyotes will be tested even further.

cIutch Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 fact is if he doesnt want to risk them making a deal come the 15th ( dont rule it out , these things heat up in the finals 4-5 days) he could screw himself out of any big payoff considering his age and what the new CBA may have in it in that case he could end up in phoenix yes , but with alot less money and im sure he does not want that times a ticking doaner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
