I have been thinking we had already hit the summer slow seasons but I can't help but think that this will be a long summer. How long until hockey season starts? There is still plenty of hockey news to talk about but it doesn't replace watching an actual game on TV. Here some links to help you through another long summer day.

Why NHL coaches and GMs can easily escape their contracts - Jim Kelley - SI.com
Is there a double standard in the NHL when it comes to contracts? There is definitely a double standard but what choice does management have? Are they going to keep a coach or GM in a position he doesn't want to be in?

I don't know

For a while I thought Sykora might be a good signing for the Sabres, but the more I think about it, he would probably just be a replacement for Max with the durability of a Connelly. We’ll have to see what kind of numbers the Stafford camp is demanding. Given the choice, I guess I would keep Stafford, if his numbers will fit the budget. Sykora’s coming off a bad shoulder and a broken foot. He might wind up being another Tallinder(playing not to get hurt).
