Further information on the Dustin Byfuglien situation which doesn't make it sound as bad as when it was originally reported.

He did pass the breathlyzer test but was arrested for refusing a blood test, he has been in Winnipeg this week looking for a house so he has no problems crossing the border.

The weight thing was blown out of proportion-at the end of the Thrashers season in spring he weighed 269 lbs and when he was arrested he was in the 270's, not 286 as was reported. So he was only a couple pounds overweight as opposed to some of the reports that had him 20-30 lbs overweight.

Now we just gotta sign Bogosian and we're ready to go

Listed at 257....if he's in the 270's, there is a good chance he is close to 20+ pounds overweight. 

Also, how do you know he didn't weigh 286? Bottom line, dude needs to drop some weight. Camp is right around the corner and if you're using that time to get into shape, you're gonna have a hard time for the first 1/4 or more into the season.

Also...

Where's my dude First Born??



One of the comments was "Don't Toews Me Bro!"

*dead* at the kid crying....I know it's insensitive, but damn it's funny....

^ TSN NHL Insider Bob McKenzie reported those numbers, but I did get some of them wrong. He started the season at 269 and weighed 288 at the end of the season. Right now its believed he's somewhere in the 270's

 

[DownByLaw]

@ Toews leveling that kid.

This is the crazy part to me...usually players report to camp at their max weight...but during the season they drop 10-15 pounds (give or take).  The #@*% was Big Buff doing that he weighed close to 290 when everything wrapped up?  He's doing it wrong

  How do you get out of shape DURING the season???

  

 

[philballa09]

good to hear the game is 

just bought the canon t2i so the game gotta wait a lil

 

[hawkflight6]

Notable contracts and extensions signed today (all reported by TSN)

NY Islanders sign John Tavares to a 6yr $33m extension

Winnipeg Jets re-sign Zach Bogosian to a 2yr $5m deal

Boston Bruins re-sign Brad Marchand to a 2yr $5m deal

 

[kash55]

The start of the season is gonna bring back a lot of emotional baggage as a Canucks fan.

Well, this could get interesting.....

Sources have told TSN that Los Angeles Kings GM Dean Lombardi has made it clear to Drew Doughty's agent, Don Meehan, that the Kings have no intension of paying Doughty more than Anze Kopitar's $6.8 million annual average salary.

It's believed Doughty wants a minimum of $7 million per season, but the Kings are offering seven years at $6.8 million per, so the question is: Who's going to blink?

Given the possibility of a deal not getting done before training camp opens and Doughty holding out, the temperature inside the Kings offices is rising to the point it's been suggested the Kings may pull their offer by the end of the week.

Perhaps less stressful times for Toronto's Luke Schenn, who also remains a notable restricted free agent still in need of a new contract.

All involved in Schenn's negotiation with the Leafs remain optimistic a deal will be reached this week; however Zach Bogosian's two-year, $5 million dollar deal with the Winnipeg Jets could slow progress if the Leafs use Bogosian as a comparable.

It's believed Schenn is seeking compensation similar to the $3.9 million New York Rangers defenceman Marc Staal is earning.

Somewhere between Staal and Bogosian seems to be a good fit for Luke Schenn.

 

[DeadsetAce]

brad marchand signed, finally....2 years, $5 million

 

[cquan05]

Buffalo Sabres defenceman Tyler Myers has agreed to terms on a seven-year contract extension, believed to be worth in the neighbourhood of $5.5 million per season.

 

[True Blues]

If Myers did in fact get 5.5 per, there's no question Doughts deserves 7.

Semin + Green to LA for Doughnut & someone else...

LET'S GET IT!!!
  

 

[cquan05]

Myers deal in BUF is 7 years, $38.5M for a cap hit of $5.5 beginning the 12-13 season. Gets a $10M SB on July 1/12 with $2M in 1st yr salary

So Myers gets $12M in Year 1, followed by years of $6M, $5M, $5M, $4M, $3.5M, $3M.

NO.

he doesnt deserve no 7 mil either. oh he will, but no way now. 2 years ago he had a better argument, but after starting slow and fat last year he needs to show something. theres no way he should earn more than Kopi, or as much as Weber. He's probably worth 5mil-6mil

edit: ok im cheapskating him, but he's crazy for 7 mil

 

[jewseejay]

at honestly believing doughty deserves 7... he regressed in season 2 no? jus like myers... cept myers is 6'8 and was big for his team when it mattered (playoffs)

obv doughty is more skilled so wants paid but im not sure hes much if any at better for his team then Myers... take the 6.8 n %$+% Drew

i say that then watch him get hurt and have cost himself 5-10 million by rollin over

 

[hawkflight6]

Teemu Selanne coming back for another year, I alway loved watching him play and even at 41 he's still playing amazing
