Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Coyote Tracks - July 20 - Ilya to the Kings (Not) Edition

 

Ilya Kovalchuk finally signed with a team yesterday and it's with his old team the New Jersey Devils instead of the Division Rival Kings. Good thing everyone's he favorite rumor idiot Eklund told us "Confirmation. Kings are definitely out of Kovalchuk sweeps..." after the Devils official twitter announced the deal with Kovy huh? The deal is absolutely ludicrous too. 107 Million over 17 years. 17 YEARS! Realistically he's only going to be playing for the first 10 of those on this deal, but it allows him to make 10 million per right now at a 6 million dollar cap hit to the team. The last years of the deal have him getting payed close to the minimum. These deals are why some are already seeing another lockout year coming. I pray that they're wrong...

It's been a while, so some links may be a few days old. We'll see If I can't get these things going a bit faster noow that life has normalized a bit.

Apparently the future is NOW for some of our youngsters. The Coyotes have holes to fill and are ready to start integrating some of the young talent into the lineup.

Is it me or are they makin these kids bigger and stronger and faster every year? Is it weird to be saying our smallest goalie is 6ft 1 inches?

ohmygod

New post! Yay!

I’ve been having this debate with a few of the guys in my Beer League team – they’re Dev’s fans and Psyched. I’m trying to point out they now have this dude on the books (maybe not the Cap) for 17 (!!) freaking years.

He's a cap hit for that long too.

At some point these deals are going to start hurting teams down the road. Either that or be one of many ways the league kills itself.

Unless he retires

If he calls it quits then he’s not against the cap – since it was not signed as a 35 and over

Johnson said the exclusivity agreement is “nice to have” but not necessary.“Whether it exists or not has no impact on whether we can complete the purchase of the team,” Johnson said.

The league’s Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly dismissed online rumors Friday that the Ice Edge deal was in trouble. “I know nothing about it. It would be new news to me,” he wrote in an e-mail.

Globe and Mail: Ice Edge making progress

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/hockey/ice-edge-making-progress-spokesman-insists/article1654098/?cmpid=rss1#article

"We are making great progress," Johnson said. "Our focus is on buying the team from the NHL and we remain confident in our ability to complete the deal."

However, Frisoni was uncertain whether the two sides have to complete the talks by Aug. 6. That deadline, mentioned in the Republic story, was when the exclusivity deal ran out, but not necessarily the time to negotiate.

Oh whats this?

Another article where they say that the deal is going smoothly

http://www.torontosun.com/sports/hockey/2010/07/27/14848421.html#/sports/hockey/2010/07/27/pf-14848421.html

When contacted by QMI Agency Tuesday, Frisoni would not comment on the matter and said negotiations were continuing as planned with the deadline still in place.

"I would say there is no change in the status of the negotiations with Ice Edge," (Bill)Daly said in an e-mail to the QMI Agency on Tuesday. "There is nothing new to report."

So lets see…noone has said “The deal is dead”
Noone has said “This won’t get done”
Noone has even said “Ice edge are struggling”

What has happened is the City of Glendale have said “We’re no longer exclusive”.

BIZNASTY

Hey how about a new blog post? Maybe about a Coyote? How about Poul Bissonnette? Only reason I would get a twitter account is to follow him and his hilarious comments. I read that he will be returning to twitter near the start of the season. What does everyone else think? Sorry if this is way off subject but I just want to hear about the coyotes. Also anyone know whats been going on with training camp? Any news from that? Anyone got pictures? Will Turris make the cut?
