Paul Holmgren slips past Brian Burke to become Dean Lombardi’s #1 trade partner

Is signing Jarret Stoll a “must-do”?

By
June 13, 2012

If you're comparing Stoll to Loktionov, don't forget that Loktionov is going to get older and better, while Stoll is going to get older and worse. I don't think Loktionov is going to have too much trouble scoring 20+ goals a year, once he starts getting a regular shift. Do you want to see...

Game One: Kings 4, Canucks 2

By
April 11, 2012

There has obviously been a lot of chatter in the Kovalchukosphere about the NHLPA’s supposedly slam dunk case, Bettman’s vendetta against the Devils, the league not having a leg to stand on,...

Pierre LaBrun has an interesting Bernier tidbit

By
November 17, 2009

harry2299: The Kings have the best team they have had in ages, and as a Kings fan, I couldn’t be happier with the progress they’ve made this season. The only gripe I have is why is Jonathan Bernier still in the AHL. I understand wanting to give him more playing time, but Murray’s expecting...

By
July 16, 2009

Undoubtedly BoC is already in your blog aggregator, but I’m clipping out this bit anyway, since it’s so true and so much fun to contemplate: Whatever trade options GM Doug Wilson may have had at the draft (and we can only speculate there) are now fairly diminished.  How it affects the Sharks going forward?  Remains to be seen....
