Found this on my hard drive. Meant to post it during the realignment debate. This is not a serious suggestion. It wouldn’t work for any number of pesky real-world practical reasons. Still, it’s fun, at least for me, maybe for you. Montreal Canadiens Toronto Maple Leafs Boston Bruins New York Rangers Chicago Blackhawks Detroit Red…

Whither Clifford?
by Quisp • • 14 Comments
Of the six left wings mentioned — Brown, Penner, Gagne, King, Nolan and Clifford — one of them (Gagne) is almost certain to leave after next season (if he can even make it through 2012-13 healthy), and another (Penner) is not any kind of lock to return after next year either. I would say, actually, that since neither Clifford or Nolan ought to be considered top-six forwards (you can make an argument for King, though he fits anywhere), really we’re talking about whether there’s room for all three of Clifford, Nolan and King in the bottom six. We can just remove Brown, Gagne and Penner from the equation.

More Justin Schultz: I don’t understand. Please explain why he isn’t a free agent NOW.

Look, I’m sure it’s buried in the CBA somewhere. I’m sure everyone else is right and I’m wrong. But, as I said in an earlier post, I just don’t get why Justin Schultz isn’t an unrestricted free agent as of June 1, today.
