You know that guy in your fantasy pool? The one who starts chasing after unpicked rookies who got a few assists on opening night? The one who dumped Jarome Iginla the same week because of his slow start?
Well he's the leading candidate for the GM chair in Tampa Bay.
The silliness continues in Florida. Odds are the new ownership just wants someone to let them play with their team and rebuild the rolodex that Jay Feaster took with them. By Christmas time Gary Bettman is going to be wishing the shady consortium Phil Esposito lead in 1991 was running the Lightning.
Feaster meanwhile ought to land on his feet somewhere. No, he won't be going to Toronto. They are still focused on someone with a bit more sex appeal than Dave Nonis.
Other questions:
When will the Kings hire a coach? The first rumour was they were going in-house for Mike Johnston. If that was the case they would have moved by now. Maybe they are looking at Joel Quenneville or the other usual suspects who were on everybody's list a month ago. I suspect they are looking for somebody who hasn't been considered before or the process is in full swing and the hockey writers in LA are waiting the next flame from Brian Burke.
Is the NW the new SE?
Given the steps backward or sideways the teams in the Northwest are taking right now, they might all be playing for the number 3 seed in the west. I find it hard to believe there will be even two playoff teams there.
Sundin prediction
Montreal.
Radulov to Russia?
The Preds suffer a significant loss as they try to ice a team at a reasonable budget.
