I like him! Well now his jersey can finally go to the rafters in front of a sold-out crowd of 5,000 people. Tampa Bay Lightning working with Ryan McDonagh to find trade fit – Sportsnet McDonagh has four seasons remaining on a cap hit of $6.75M, with a full no-trade clause. So he controls his

“I’m thrilled to be named head coach of the Red Wings,” said Lalonde. “I’d like to thank Chris Ilitch and the entire Ilitch family, as well as Steve Yzerman and the Red Wings management team for entrusting me with the opportunity to lead this historic franchise.

It’s always a fun day when resident TSN draft expert Bob McKenzie puts out his draft rankings. They’re usually close to the industry consensus on players, which means that what you see may very well be what you get when draft day rolls around. There were a few things that caught the eye of fans,

For the former, they retained 50% of David Savard’s cap space in exchange for a fourth round pick. From the latter, they took on Richard Panik

In case you missed the first broadcast airing. There’s also an extended version on ESPN+. I haven’t seen that yet, but apparently it goes into more Avs detail (unnecessary) and talks about the Alumni game. I really liked the two-hour version even though it ended before they talked about anything past 2000 and didn’t cover

Red Wings Rumblings Jonatan Berggren, a man who respects horses. Good news for Berggren: There’s a harness racing track in Metro Detroit… You know, because he’s going to be a Red Wing next season.
