I was talking about the draft to a person with huge ties to the Kings and we started talking about the up-coming free agency period. He/She said “What would you think about the Phaneuf kid playing for the Kings?” Of course I replied, “What do you know?” A chuckle ensued followed by “Can’t tell...

From Tom Benjamin’s NHL Blog: Still Pretending
I don’t know why hockey fans still get sucked in by all the trade talk in the period that leads up to the draft. I don’t know how hockey reporters can keep buying any of the trade whispers they hear. The fact is there are very few trades in this league. That should quash...

From (the great) Matthew Barry: I Loved All The Things That DIDN’T Happen!
1) Tavares – So Dreger and the Union Leader and almost everyone else on XM204 was saying Duchene was going first – THAT didn’t happen and it didn’t seem like there was ever any doubt it was Tavares. Dreger – so plugged in, and yet… 2) Brian Burke’s failure to move up – yes,...

From The Hockey News/Ken Campbell: THN at the NHL Draft: Trade buzz building
The most likely player to be dealt is Dany Heatley of the Ottawa Senators, with the Los Angeles Kings and Minnesota Wild emerging as the front-runners. The Kings would likely have to give up a package that would include Jack Johnson and Alexander Frolov, while the Wild might surrender a package that would include...

From Tom Benjamin’s NHL Blog: Signing the Sedins
I don’t see what the statistical data has to do with anything. The Sedins are about to become free agents – after July 1st, they are worth whatever an NHL team is prepared to pay them. Emphasis on the word them. The ballpark here is not between $5 MM and $7 MM. It is...
