Lucas Raymond has brought mature, complete game to Red Wings – Detroit News
“He creates chances without giving much. He’s been efficient that way, and I don’t see a reason he can’t continue it,” Blashill said.

That’s not only a welcome sight in Detroit but it’s truthfully not all that common even in places that haven’t trained their fans to expect draft picks to hit the league at age 25.
Bettman to meet with Quebec premier to discuss potential Nordiques return – The Score
“You have to look to know who is ready to invest. We have an (arena) already built in Quebec (City), and we are in contact with commissioner Gary Bettman to find out what we need to bring back the Nordiques.”

I get the whole thing where the home country is supposed to get automatic bids but if the Chinese team is as dogshit as everybody is saying they are then go ahead and pull them.
