Glad to see the Red Wings finally doing something exciting with the summer market, signing Tomas Tatar to a 3-year contract.

Tatar's a good young player (something the Wings have been collecting and nurturing lately to prepare for Zetterberg and Datsyuk aging out) who's showed up on the highlight reels a few times this season. Getting 40 points out of a 23-year-old for $2.75M per season is a pretty good investment considering he's only going to get better.

Tatar Sauce is a great player. He's a steal at that contract.

Should spice up the Red Hot Wings for sure!

All I need is for Jim Benning to turn things around for the Canucks (although that brawl last year was entertaining, too bad it happened on Hockey Day in Canada).

It's during a game against the wrong Jets club (previously from Atlanta)

All that matters to anyone is the team playing in Winnipeg right now. The only way in which the Coyotes' history as the Jets matters is to the fatcat$. To the fans, the Jets are the Jets, as it should be.

Yeah, that's true. Having the Jets (of anything) back in Winnipeg is great for the fans!

Also, which Subban do you mean, Slurmee? PK, Malcolm or Jordan?

UPDATE: PK Subban has signed an eight year; $72M contract today.

8 years at 9 mil holy shit.
