Don't think he's eligible for the playoffs, though, as he wasn't on the roster at the deadline.

I wouldn't see why not. He was part of the team before then. He was only suspended. This isn't a new acquisition

I know, I just wasn't sure if when a team suspends a player (as opposed to the league) if he's still considered to be on their 90-man reserve list.

OK, in case anyone was wondering what a rink at Parliament Hell would look like, I took to google maps to measure the hill, and then add a standard NHL rink, shrunk to scale:

Or maybe they'd orient it the other way to get more depth for stands on the lone sides. Chances are for those temporary arenas there are stands only on the lone sides and not the end-zones. Shouldn't be a problem getting 20K temp seats, perhaps even as high as 30-35K.

Is that enough for Gary? Or would they just jack up the ticket prices?

It's more about TV than tickets but those will cost a fortune no matter what.

Did PK Subban die last night?

Die?

He had a micro fracture

I've had my neck broken way worse than that!

I can't wait to hear how he courageously came back from that devastating injury and what a uniquely determined individual he is.

But seriously, poor guy is probably embarrassed by all the attention.

It took them forever to scrape him off the ice and it turns out he's fine.

hot damn Wideman suspension reduced to 10 games by arbitrator. He's served 19 games out of 20 so far.

What a flawed system.

He gets half of his fine back but not the games played.

Calgary won't get those games back that he missed

They improved their lottery odds ever so slightly over those 19 games

So with expansion talk comes the possibility of the next expansion draft...this is the initial thought on how many guys a team can protect...crazy:
----
Each team has option of protecting 3d, 7F and I goalie or 8 skaters +1 goalie. Expansion determined before draft
----

So who would the Sens protect?

Stone, Turris, Ryan, ZBad, Lazar, Pageau, Hoff (if here)?

D is maybe a little easier (?): Karlsson, Methot, Ceci

Goalie: Anderson
