Boston Bruins Summer Playbook
Posted on 1 Jul 2011 by Jim Mulligan.
Over the years, I have argued that Bruins GM, Peter Chiarelli, has overpayed while paying for his team. I have written in this space that Andrew Ference, Tim Thomas, Zdeno Chara, Patrice Bergeron and Michael Ryder were all overpaid by at least $1M per player. Due to these overpayments, the Bruins were always up against the cap ceiling and could never get that Tomas Kaberle, puck moving defensem...

How to get rid of the Goons
Posted on 4 Mar 2011 by Corey Krakower.
You’ll have to excuse my bias, but the thing I hate the most in hockey are goons. I’ve played in the same hockey league for the past 5 years, and I probably have 3 penalties in those 5 seasons. That’s just the way I play the game. So, you can imagine my reaction when I see a player like Trevor Gillies get suspended for 9 games, and then the first game he comes back he gets tossed again. T...

Preds Don’t Like Playing “Free” Hockey: Could Hurt In The Long Run
Posted on 16 Feb 2011 by Nicholas Starcevich.
Tuesday night against the Sharks the effort was there but in reality the Preds fell short in more ways than just the 2-1 score. Nashville has yet to record an O.T victory this season (0-5). Despite having a solid shootout record (6-3) they just can't seem to close out games during the extra five minute frame. On top of that, the Preds are a sub .500 team when it comes to 1 score games (13...

The Trade Value of 2-1 Tim
Posted on 18 Nov 2010 by Matt Preston.
It was another slow start for the Boston Bruins, but it was also another strong outing for goaltender Tim Thomas, who turned a 34 save performance into a 3-2 Bruins win over the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night. The win runs Thomas’ record to 10-1 this season. Thomas has been the story of the young season for the Boston Bruins. After struggling in 2009-2010, a seas...

Back to School! Wild Offseason Report Card Part 1
Posted on 6 Sep 2010 by Shawn Stenhouse.
Thank the Lord! Only a few weeks left until the start of the NHL season. As with every offseason, hockey enthusiasts desperately try to find some way to fill the void that the Stanley Cup finals, Draft day and July 1st. All over the internet, debates rage on over who the Flordia Panthers should sign as their 7th defensemen, or the possibilities of impossible hypothetical situations like the pro...

A Simple Way to Fix the NHL’s Flawed Cap System
Posted on 4 Jun 2010 by Corey Krakower.
Mass Exodus is coming to the NHL. Of course, I am not referring to the concept of human migration; I am referring to the abnormal number of salary dumps, buyouts and players that will be sent to the minors because their salaries are too high that will happen over the next 2 years. The salary cap system, where salaries are tied directly to a percentage of league revenues in the NHL’s Collectiv...

Long Term Contracts – Part II
Posted on 4 Apr 2010 by Mark Jasper.
Earlier this week, I posted a comical adaptation of what the NHL would become if the next Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) did not address long-term contracts. Left unchanged, teams would start offering 30, 50, and even 80-year contracts just to circumvent the salary cap. If an owner wanted to buy the Stanley Cup, they certainly could under the current CBA.

Long Term Contracts – Part I
Posted on 30 Mar 2010 by Mark Jasper.
I decided to break this article into Part I and II as it got rather lengthy. There have been numerous articles written about the use of Long-term contracts and whether they are used to circumvent the salary cap. However, I wanted to dig deeper into the subject and project both a worst case scenario as well as analysis and possible solutions. Part I is my view of the worst-case scenario wi...

Contract Talks and Thoughts
Posted on 19 Mar 2010 by Corey Krakower.
I don’t blame Habs fans for being pessimistic, but I personally see some reason for optimism when it comes to getting contract extensions done. Montreal Canadiens fans have pretty good memories, and if you want to get one riled up, talk to the Habs fan you know about how the team got nothing for Sheldon Souray when he left as a free agent. Or talk about how Mark Streit’s camp proposed to th...
