And, of course...

…Ovechkin avoids suspension yet again. Colin Campbell said he wasn’t suspended because he’s “not a repeat offender.”

You can’t be a repeat offender if you never get in trouble for anything.

Why would they pay Kovalchuk $100 million. Trade him for players, prospects and picks and build a team that can contend. They could get a kings ransom for him if they play their cards right. A team like that isn’t one piece away, it is many. Of course, if you trade him, who will buy tickets there?
