Thread: Team Canada 2018 Olympic selections before final Roster cut (If Bettmen wasn't a
Johnny. I'm not sure of the numbers but I don't think it's the 31 owners against the 750 players. Maybe 25 owners don't want to go, and 250 players want to go, 250 don't want to go and 250 don't give a ship.
I think the players public posture is part of contract negotiations. Yes, I'm sure McDavid is sincere and good for him for speaking out.
Myself, I really don't care. Of course I'm old, 63 years. I can remember when the Canadians and other free world countries would send amateurs against the "professionals" of the Iron Curtain countries. We used to play agains the "Commies" in just the Olympics and World Championship. Since the fall of the Iron Curtain and somewhat before that, we see this merging of athletes coming to western world and playing for club teams. There just doesn't seem to be that "us and against them" in athletics and especially in team sports like hockey. Just count me as somewhat disinterested.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Elkman</b></div><div>There is simply no way Florida would give up an ascending talent like Huberdeau for two aging forwards with high cap hits especially when they have a lot of cap space to work with in the offseason.</div></div>

I dont know, i can see FLA wanting to make a big push in the next year or so,i and se them wanting to to make one final playoff push with there older players such as (loo, Yandle, Jagar,), so with that mindset. FLA is getting two big name players on expireing deals to help push the team over the edge. And with those two players only takeing up 7mill, theres still room to add.

I do think youd need to add more to the deal though. maybe a young prospect. or a 2nd, just to give fla something for when the twins leave
