Mackcanuck Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 On the Agenda for Monday and Tuesday - Expansion Update - Among the topics expected to be discussed by the board on Monday and Tuesday: - Executive/coach compensation: Will the controversial rule that's barely a year old be killed? Or modified? - Concussion protocol update: Always topical, given the lawsuit from former players that remains in front of the courts. - Salary-cap projection for next year: Always a hot item for some teams who are waiting to hear that news to plan ahead on contract extensions and other actions. - Collins replacement: An update from the league to the owners on next steps after COO John Collins' resignation. - All-Star Game format report: And within that, mention of the new "bye week" for next season between Jan. 1 on Feb. 28, which the players gained as part of the All-Star negotiations. - Executive vice-president and director of hockey operations Colin Campbell will report on 3-on-3 overtime and the coach's challenge. http://espn.go.com/nhl/story/_/id/14307699/nhl-board-governors-meeting-feature-expansion-discussion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhippy Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 For the pro trade crowd like myself who get excited over possible trades or team improvements via addition or subtraction this is the week the majority of these talks plans or ideas start With luck Benning is currently fielding offers for a minimum of 3 of our vets for picks and trying to figure out how to get another pick in the top 15 this years draft. But of course that won't stop people from suggesting we trade everything for a single D man of the top 4 calibre who has never broken 35 points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTR; I'm only in to trades for young assets. Preferably for expiring vets. And for Hippy's benefit (multiple response key was not avail?) my own view is move for a top D prospect as opposed to throwing the farm at the implied Hamonic trade. As a general statement we don't have the assets to pay a full value deal. Like him or not. I'm in to Hamonic only if we can leverage the fact he needs to be dealt.

Mackcanuck Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 Darren DregerVerified account@DarrenDreger Salary cap projection for next season as high as $74.5 million Darren Dreger @DarrenDreger 5m5 minutes ago High end cap of $74.5 is a projection. Some are also skeptical and believe it could hang around where it is now, $71.4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
