NHL Offseason 2014

The Pens went with a local guy, well local to me, for their next head coach. Mike Johnston is the man. He has been coaching the Portland Winterhawks. Too bad the Pens traded away Joe Morrow. Johnston coached Morrow in Portland.

Here's how the media in this town operates. This link is/was to the main Sports page on the Sun website............it's about Kane favoriting a friggin tweet.

The only thing more hilarious than Kane's usual behavior is the the local media's squirrely reaction to it.

Pick 17 for the Flyers. I don't see them moving up. I wonder if the move towards a speedier club will follow suit in the draft. If so I wouldn't be surprised if Roland McKeown is the pick. He can skate his ass off. His size is "ok". If they roll with the old school Philly mold then Alex Tuch seems a lock @ 17. I dunno. I guess it hinges on trades within the next few hours. One rumor I'm not liking is the tubby Jet, Dustin Byfuglien, coming to Philly.

He's not tubby anymore, and we aren't trading Byfuglien. You're getting Kane. We're getting Simmonds, among other things.
 
Kane and Toews want $12,000,000 each, per season. But they will leave some money on the table to win a SC. I think they'll need to leave a lot of money on the table if they want to win more.
