A third line of Frattin-Kadri-Omark would at least be fun.

And a nightmare when they didn't have the puck.

On the plus side, it wouldn't be for long.

Can't say I know that much about him, but is he ready for that? Wow!

I've always really hated the idea of naming a really young captain, regardless of his considerable talent. 

Of course, Crosby's done pretty well as a captain, so what do I know?

Has anything come to pass with respect to Visnovsky's grievance?

For a top-draft pick, he showcased his talents quite nicely racking up 52 pts. with the club while sporting a +20 rating.  His raw leadership and talent, coupled with his style of play (knows how to be a 'pest' on ice) and the fact that he was one of the Avs best young players to date, probably were all factors in granting him the captaincy.

His leadership will no doubt rub off on his teammates.

His arbitration hearing was yesterday, so I'd imagine a decision will be made soon.

"He's going to be, in my mind, the franchise player for a long time. He's young, but he's got a good head on his shoulders. I think the organization is in good hands."

Thanks, I'm really interested in this case.

Vishnovsky trade from Ducks to Islanders deemed valid. There was issue raised with no-move clause, etc when trade was agreed on.

 

[Bullfrog]

An NHL arbitrator has upheld a trade between Anaheim and New York that sent defenceman Lubomir Visnovsky to the Islanders for a second-round pick.

Surprise! Doan has decided to remain a Coyote. 

4 yrs @$21.1M.

"I'm extremely excited about remaining a Coyote," Doan said in a statement. "I was drafted by this organization and it means a great deal to me to be able to play with the same franchise my entire career. I'm very excited about our team, our coaching staff and our management and am confident about our future in Arizona.

"I chose to stay with the Coyotes because I am committed to winning here, not anywhere else, and I love living and playing in the Valley. This is my home and this is my team."
