The World Cup is over, and I'm not that big into baseball, so the only thing I can cling to sports wise right now is the Kovalchuk saga—but it's safe to say most want this story to end (the New York Post even reported a Canadian national TV outlet has proposed a LeBron-esque one-hour special as to where he will play, but this is the same post that reported Kovalchuk ...

Bringing back Olli Jokinen is a huge gamble to say the least. The TSN panel covering free agent frenzy on July 1 was speechless when word broke Darryl Sutter was working on signing Jokinen. Calgary was speechless too. Tanguay back at $1.7 million wasn't a bad deal, only one year and it's cheap. He had decent chemistry with Iginla, but needed to shoot the puck more and could have added ...

July 1st was quite tame this year in terms of contract lengths and money being dished out in the NHL. We didn't get the "Hossa" 12 year deal, or the "Brian Campbell" 57 million dollar deal. But, there were still some big deals handed out, majority of them being smart. There were some overpaid guys, but hey, that's free agency. And it should only get worse as teams miss out ...

After the second day in the NHL Entry Draft, there are pretty clear pictures of who did well, and who didn't. Of course, we really won't know who really won and lost for about four years. But this doesn't mean we can't try.Begin Slideshow

Very close to the 2010 NHL Draft, everyone should know by now that the top two picks are going to be Taylor Hall and Tyler Seguin. Taylor Hall has been touted as going first overall, but don't count out Seguin. He could very well go No. 1 overall tonight, and if he falls to the Bruins at No. 2 they will be happy to draft a player who they will ...

There is a Strong chance Tomas Kaberle will be dealt at the draft. Some rumors have Kaberle going to the Blackhawks with the Leafs GM Brian Burke wanting to take advantage of a tight cap situation there. Patrick Sharp, Dustin Byfuglien, and Brian Campbell have been mentioned as Leaf targets. Tampa Bay GM Steve Yzerman has told Vincent Lecavalier that he won't be traded. Yzerman said they were "going to challenge ...

Six days from the 2010 NHL Draft and some rumors are buzzing. —Expect the Leafs to do something, maybe at the draft. Not sure if Brian Burke wants to move into the first round, he obviously wants to make his squad better and a late to mid pick won't do that next year. Bobby Ryan rumors have surfaced, but no hard evidence has been suggested. He will most likely chase a deal ...

"Because I am crazy, I am ordering every player to be released from their current contracts and we will organize a new draft with every player." — NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman Not really, but with the upcoming 2010 NHL Draft, I will honor the idea here as presented by crazy Mr. Gary Bettman. This will be done in sort of a "franchise" mode way (First Round only). Players with higher potential ...

The NHL draft begins on June 25th, and it is never too early to speculate who each team will select. The Edmonton Oilers will start off the draft and put an end to the question that has been asked all year, Taylor or Tyler. Unless the Bruins want to move up to the one spot, in fear the Oilers will take the guy Boston covets, but most likely scenario, Oilers ...

A few days ago I posted a sideshow that had ten pictures of NHL starts eyes. These are the answers.
