They'll play Michigan in the Northeast Regional Semifinal next Saturday at 1:30 pm PST: Any update on Will Lockwood? Would be interesting to see if he can contribute in shutting down Gaudette's line. Not that I want Gaudette to be shut down, but I'm excited for Lockwood as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lockwood suffered a season-ending shoulder injury at the World Juniors so the only way he'll be able to shut down Gaudette is by stealing all his equipment or something. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However the NHL does still receive relocation fees (not sure how much, but it is well under 650M). If a team goes bankrupt, the NHL will try to accommodate, as they have in the past. There aren’t any teams that the league is even close to moving. Last team that went bankrupt was Arizona and look how that played out. Arizona will likely move after this next season, but 95% chance its to another location within Arizona, probably downtown Phoenix, where they should have stayed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn’t there talk about a possible relocation to Kansas City as well? Might have been Carolina they were taking about tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruilin96 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 For absolutely selfish reasons, I hope North Eastern gets eliminated next week so Gaudette can sign his ELC soon and play a few games with the big club to finish the season. I got tickets to the 31st game against the Blue Jackets and it will make the game much more meaningful to watch if I get to see Gaudette play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have been Carolina they were taking about tho There is always that option. At the moment, I believe that Kansas City is being used as a negotiating tactic for teams in trying to get a new building. A business associate of mine is one of the lawyers that has been trying to get a team to Kansas. They were working on getting the Thrashers there, right up to when the team was sold to Winnipeg, and was part of one group that was trying to bring NHL to Seattle. They backed out on that when it became apparent that expansion fees were heading north of 300 million. As far as I’m aware, there isn’t any serious discussions around Kansas right now. I think if something happens where either Carolina or Panthers need to move, (both have buildings located in the wrong place in my opinion), they willmove to Quebec.

But possibly Pheonix to Kansas City might be an option. I can't see them moving an eastern team west when Quebec wants a team, but moving a Pacific team to the central is going to be necessary so it could happen and solve that logistical issue.

Expand in Seattle, then Arizona to Kansas and one of Florida/Carolina to Quebec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Coyotes need to leave the State, expect them to go to Houston, nowhere else. If Coyotes stay in Arizona, watch for the league to expand to 34 teams by 2025 but adding Quebec and Houston. Watch for playoffs to be expanded to include 20 to 24 teams within 5 years. The league and the players like the revenue playoffs bring, especially to teams struggling a little financially. They want new ways to increase league revenue, letting another 4 to 8 teams enter playoffs is a natural source and progression for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Kneel Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Gaudette's post season extension came as expected. I have a feeling he's going to do some damage in this tourney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 (edited) Gaudette and Northeastern play Michigan on March 24th in Worcester (Northeast regionals). EDIT: Didn’t notice info was already posted on previous page but I’ll just leave this here anyway for people who pop in wondering when the next game is.

Horvats_Big_Head Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Really excited for this guy. Hopefully he wins, but I won’t be too upset if he loses so we can get him up for a few games. Winning would do do wonders for his confidence though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah thanks for the update, I hadn't heard if it was confirmed that he was out for the season. Well hopefully Gaudette rips Michigan a new one then.

LegionOfDoom Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 When is the hobey baker awarded anyone know? And does this tournament have and dictation towards the winner ?

I’d imagine anything that happens up to March 26th could influence the final decision, but most people already know who they are voting for.
