One decision in which it appears Thomson had a very direct hand was the choice to scale the arena at 15,000 seats – to some minds, too small to house a contemporary NHL franchise – again, he says, drawing on his time with HBC. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/david-thomsons-calculated-romance-with-the-nhl/article625126/

Particularly David Thomson. He's on record as saying he pitched to TNSE a smaller arena than what was built. The supply & demand logic. It's beyond baffling to me that Winnipeggers think we should have built a bigger arena. Logic, where art thou?

...well, at least 2. Hef's reply was he's still trying to taking care of his surgery, and isn't sure if he's coming. Swag on.

Can’t believe he’s allowed to wear Kane’s old number.

Looks like I'm missing this one because of work If anyone's interested in 2 tix, let me know!

31 year old with back problems? If this is any team not trying to 3 peat, that's an awful deal.

Perhaps not the best idea to tell players they may be moved RIGHT BEFORE your most important games of the season?!

It's as if they were going all in for Karlsson, and when that didn't happen they got Tatar and went "our fans won't know the difference, right?"

Whoa... that is huge. Vlad is a big part of their offsense & close with Kucherov if memory serves

mine, too. The twitter feed on MBB is a blessing & a curse

left shot, 25 yrs old, decent size (6', 195 lbs). 103 NHL games over 4 years. Another Portland Winterhawk.

Muamba

1st rounder becomes a 2nd if Kane doesn't re-sign. Sharks fans: hope for the 2nd.

Good Jets write-up from Smashville.

He's always been a better prospect than those 2.

My snide remarks aside, I'd rather not play against Kane in the playoffs. D gotta keep their heads up!

3:00 eastern is the deadline, right? So, 1 hour left for McDonagh, Kane, Karlsson, Maroon, Vanek, Mike Green.... I'm just waiting for a team to trade for The Natural. Can't wait to roast them for that.

WHHH32Y CAN3T WE HAZZZ NICE THINGS?!

I really like the move. Foley had promise, but he's hardly a sure bet to be an impact NHLer. Plus FW is our biggest strength prospect-wise. The 4th means nothing, and I'm not too concerned about a 26th - 31st overall pick either. The org owed it to the vets to make a move, even a more minor won. Signifies to the rest of the league that we're competing for a Cup. Unbelievable how things have changed since the Fall....

Another reason to like...

Because they'll be watching the playoffs at home?

Decent year for Stastny; 12 G, 40 pts in 63 games. 200+ goals, 600+ pts career. 14 goals, 35 pts in 55 playoff games. There's our help down the middle.

They did...

Not to mention trading a potential stud for that bum Burrows. Giving up on Zibanjed. Karlsson heading out the door. Just a trash heap.
