The Las Vegas team should of been called the Bandits or Outlaws

Bring back the Las Vegas POSSE!!!!

Las Vegas Dice sounds good to me. Pair of dice adding up to 7.

they should just pay the London knights to use their logo and colours

bickell and teravainen to carolina for 2nd and 3rd

cowen placed on waivers for buyout

wow...steep price to get rid of Bickell's shit contract

I actually thought hawks did good. dumped cap, acquired picks, got rid of a player they were disappointed in who will be replaced by Schmaltz. extra cap might help them get a hamhuis

Teuvo Teravainen too small so he fits with the Canes

TT is a stud of a player. He's going to be goooood! This was the trade I was hoping the Canucks could get from the Hawks during the deadline for Hamhuis

The picks Chicago are getting are apparently their own 3rd back and NYR's 2nd, Carolina had a lot of extra picks, great asset management and deal by Carolina here.

It was probably a mixture of value in Ward as well as a lack of confidence in Lack.

you just can't ward off a goalie like Cam when you lack confidence with what you have in Eddie

Spoiler!

Ward hasn't been healthy in over 5 years and it's wreaked havoc on his effectiveness.

Carolina is going nowhere with him as their #1 unless he somehow miraculously solves his health issues.

They did sign him to a fairly cheap contract.

As much as everyone in this market loves Lack, and he is a great guy, but he really isn't a consistent or good #1 goalie either, Ward at this point and Lack are just gap stops until Nedeljkovic is ready.

The Las Vegas Babies... VEGAS BABY!

Canucks enter ECHL agreement with Aces - Vancouver Canucks - News

Quote:

Vancouver, B.C. - Vancouver Canucks President of Hockey Operations Trevor Linden announced today that the club has entered into an affiliation agreement with the Alaska Aces of the ECHL. Under this arrangement, the Canucks will designate players within their development system for assignment with the Aces during the 2016.17 season.

“We are pleased to enter into a new development partnership with the Aces,” said Canucks President of Hockey Operations Trevor Linden. “The community of Anchorage has a rich history of developing players that have had success at the National Hockey League level. We’re excited to continue this tradition with the Aces and provide our prospects with an excellent environment for growth.”

The Aces, based in Anchorage, were 2005.06, 2010.11, and 2013.14 Kelly Cup Champions.

“As an organization we are extremely excited about this opportunity. We as a group feel that having Vancouver, the closest NHL team in proximity to Alaska, will give our fan base another team to cheer for,” said Aces Head Coach and President of Hockey Operations Rob Murray. “The parity in the ECHL has gotten stronger over the past few years and we felt it imperative to find an affiliation to help with not only recruiting but providing depth to the Aces. We will also be working closely with Vancouver’s AHL affiliate in Utica throughout the 2016.17 season."

The Anchorage Aces originally played in the Pacific Southwest Hockey League from 1989 through 1999 before joining the West Coast Hockey League from 1995 to 2003. The team joined the ECHL to start the 2003.04 season and were renamed the Alaska Aces after the league switch. The Aces were previously affiliated with the St. Louis Blues from 2005 to 2012, the Calgary Flames during the 2013.14 season, and both the St. Louis Blues and Minnesota Wild during the 2014.15 season. Alaska currently competes in the ECHL’s West Division, which also includes Colorado, Idaho, Rapid City and Utah.

The Canucks have had previous ECHL affiliation agreements with the Columbus Chill (1992 to 1994), South Carolina Stingrays (1994.95), Columbia Inferno (2001 to 2006), Victoria Salmon Kings (2006 to 2011), and Kalamazoo Wings (2012 to 2015).

Gully to be named the new Flams coach

i wonder if they'll bring Green up to replace him since he'll be replacing Willie by November/December anyway.

Might as well give the Comets a new man that'll stay the whole season with them.
