Rich Posted October 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 Interesting article from Scheifele as he rates his top 5 toughest players he has faced in the NHL. https://www.theplayerstribune.com/mark-scheifele-top-5-nhl/ Quote Hockey, man. It’s the best. I truly love it. There are a lot of guys in the league who will tell you, “I like to leave it all at the rink. I don’t watch much hockey when I get home.” Yeah … That’s definitely not me. I’m what you might call a full-on hockey nerd. I can watch hockey all day. Like, when we’re headed to the airport after a game, I’ll pull out my phone right on the bus and just start streaming the late games. I’m always fascinated by why guys are playing a certain way, or taking chances in certain moments, or adding little tricks to their game. You watch any hockey game closely enough, and there’s going to be something you can pick up. I see a guy like Sid winning two Stanley Cups in a row, and he’s still loving everything about the game, still working on new things. That’s inspiring to me. I wake up every day and try to eat, breathe, and sleep hockey. And I figure — why not add “write hockey” to that list? This is my attempt at taking you a little deeper inside the game that I love. Honestly, I probably could have made this 20 players long — but here are the five toughest guys I’ve ever faced. .... Interesting read from someone who plays against these guys and his comments on their game.

Stulikov is one of the very few strong athlete nicknames to come from this town. I cringe every time Scheifs gets referred to as Bambi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can only sell to an NHL-approved owner. So it wouldnt matter if a relocation option offered him a billion dollars, its up to the NHL. The Hurricanes have operational control of the arena, but I believe its not owned by the team. In Atlanta, the Thrashers owners had the NHL over a barrel because they DID own the arena so any prospective team owners in Atlanta would have to negotiate with them to play there. Since the Thrashers owners didnt want hockey at their arena and their lacked a suitable alternative, the NHL had little option but to consider relocation. I doubt the NHL will be so easily moved on the Hurricanes. They will try to find a local owner, pressure local government to assist etc. before considering relocation. But Quebec would be a soft landing spot. The NHL would rather get a half billion expansion fee before relocating for a fraction of that though.
