As for the Oilers, they should be much improved and exciting to watch with all the youthful talent. Still a few years away though. Won't make the playoffs IMO.
I think the Flames will make the playoffs in the 7th or 8th position, but I doubt they'll make it through the 1st round. (Especially so, if they have to play Vancouver. )

This ruling tomorrow could have a huge impact on a few teams seasons. Personally, I think this cap circumvention crap should be eliminated. I much prefer to see parity in a league.

Being a Canuck fan I knew that, but what I really think he was saying with " but top 5 in offence...lets not get carried away here" was that he doesn'y know what he is talking about and only follows his team.

I agree, it's gotta be a level playing field. I don't blame New Jersey for being ****ed. You can't allow Vancouver, Chicago and whoever else to sign stars to these long term contracts to cheat the cap and then suddenly decide the Devils can't do it.

I still cant believe that there are teams in the southern states. Like FLA and TB cant GIVE away tickets. But there are cities in Canada and a few states that would kill for a franchise and have every game sold out before the team even finished packing their bags!

Doesn't make a lot of sense does it? It's time Bettman let it go. It's not gonna happen! The majority of Americans aren't interested in hockey.

No, just when they were in Winnipeg. I have been a life long Wings fan though. And thats some period of time.

I now kind of cheer for the sad sack Leafs. Not sure why though.
