Woo hoo - Columbus will host the 2013 All Star weekend. Should be cool.

Wonder if we'll have any representatives.

Yeah, that fag Pierre tried ragging on him after his first shot, but he came back strong. He may have been the best to not use props. Nice to see him in there. He means a lot to Isles fan. He actually seems like he cares and wants to be there, and wants to change shit.

I liked kane's superman shot the best.

They said Chara can do 50 pullups. I still cannot fathom that. That guy must be strong as fuck.

the owners won't let it happen. the gm is finishing off his contract and hasn't been offered an extension.

he's worth more at the draft anyway. the only real name guys to look at are jeff carter, steve bernnier, shea webber and ryan suter.

Columbus supposedly wants Rask and Hamilton for starters from the Bruins. I don't think you could make that trade. Hamilton is the killer for me.

Chia just offered extensions to Paille, Campbell, Thornton and Kelly. He's getting his ducks in a row before making some moves.

No way they trade Rask. Thomas isn't going to play that much longer.

How much to get Subban from the Canadiens? A local hockey writer suggested Hamilton and it's stirring some debate around here.

He's had a bad sophmore season, but I couldn't see that happening. Subban's pretty popular and has potential to be the best offensive D-man in the league. Having said that, Hamilton is just what the Habs are lacking, though they do have Jarred Tinordi coming up.

Habs have some work ahead of them, but it's not a pure rebuild. With Price in nets. Subban, Gorges, Emelin on D (maybe Diaz) and Tinordi and Nathan Beaulieu in junior, there's reason to be optimistic. Same thing with Pacioretty, Desharnais, and a few others up front.

Habs just need to stop shooting themselves in the foot. Bourque wasn't nearly enough for Cammalleri; picking up Kaberle was stupid, as was resigning Markov given his health. They did well on the Gill trade though.

I would give thought to Subban/Hamilton, but would probably pass.

I would love to see Subban in a B's uniform. In Hamilton the Habs would get a 1 Dman for the future who's 6'5 200 pounds and should be ready for the NHL next season. I think he's leading the OHL in points right now. If Chia coud sweeten it with say a #2. Build with Price and Hamilton from the back out for the forseeable future. It's an interesting proposal. Hopefully Chia will kick the tires on it. It's been talked about enough in the media around here to get back to the front office. I'm dreaming.

Jackets just dealt Vermette to the 'yotes for two wooden nickels and a stale pack of gum.

Nice.

Matt Cooke, Dion Phaneuf and PK Subban (way too soft for a guy his size.)

Milan Lucic gets honorable mention, but at least he fights. Most players as dirty as him don't fight.

Horcoff has been stealing from your team for years. Awful contract. BTW, it's a $5.5 cap hit through 2014-15. Sorry dude.

If it makes you feel any better we have Brad Richards @ $6.66 through 2019-20. :x
