Via Section 303  |  May 15, 2012
While we take a break after the disappointing conclusion of the 2011-12 Nashville Predators season, we came across an interesting fact that we thought we’d pass along.

Via Kukla's Korner  |  May 15, 2012
from Elliotte Friedman of CBC, Plenty of Ryan Suter talk last week on Hotstove, but here’s the gist: Bonus money will probably be a huge factor, because it will not be affected by a potential labour stoppage or salary rollback. In the first two years of Brad Richards’ contract, 75 per cent of the $24 million US owed him is in bonuses. It’s $13 million (of $18 million) for Christian...

After the top line of Versteeg-Weiss-Fleischmann cooled down after their torrid start, it was the Bergenheim-Goc-Samuelsson line that held the fort for much of the second half of the season. Samuelsson, 35, is a UFA and both sides have shown mutual interest in him...
