One of the women former team in Montréal was called the Montréal Canadiennes, their logo was a tweaked Habs one and they had the same jersey scheme and colors. Everybody was ok with that. Then the last incarnation was the Montréal Force. The look was a bid odd with big stripes and klunky numbers like the Senators had in the 2000s but the logo was really nice and embedded a Fleur-de-Lys into a large 'F', something close to the Minnesota Frost. I don't know why they didn't keep that. And the combination of burgundy/navy blue/grey. Yuck...

Boston: I first saw a 90°-left tilted Whalers logo, I'm wondering if it's pure coincidence... But the logo is sharp, the color scheme is cool, just the name that is a bit meh. B- Minnesota: The best of all six. The logo is simple but solid, purple is a great color that has history in the state, not to mention that it is used to mention frigid temperatures in weather maps lol. The name is cool too. A Montréal: A total failure. How the hell can you stick with burgundy as your main color?!? The name Victoire (litterally 'Win' in english is stupid) is dumb, The logo is taken from the old Alouettes one and seem to be gotten out of a dusty box. And the Fleur de Lys is barely noticeable. I can't wait for announcements like "Oh, another loss for the Win"... F- Sirens: Pretty meh. I noticed the 'NY' behind after a long time, I don't really get shaking effect of the moniker and if they use the same cyan as last season, wear sunglasses before turning on your TV. C- Ottawa: Well, the Windows'95 WordArt still exists... What's a charge and what does this logo represent? A puck? A hole? My desk? Pretty botched IMO. D Toronto: It's a bit baseball-like but I like the royalty-type logo. It's simple and not overworked and the plural name is ok (I never understood why women pro teams love singular names so much). B

I subscribe to @J0e Th0rnton's opinion. IMO having a pay league might lead to take this a bit too seriously with the probability to turn things in a sour way. For me, the first objective is having fun. About the format, I like the current one. Having periphs sats like hits, blocks, PIMs is cool because it leads to a more complete overlook and you can have more options in terms of strategies in match-ups. I just don't really like the GWG because it's quite random and a goal is a goal and counts for 1 on the scoresheet at the end. Finally, I completely forgot to thank @pilldoc for bringing me in, being available for all kind of questions I had and for the commitment to be league's commish. We sure have all busy lives and challenges both professionally and personally, and it's not easy to fit that in. So, thanks again !

Is Chiarelli employed by the Devils now? But it's fantastic news for the other 31 teams in the League.

I'm not that enthusiastic. I mean, that's an interesting and intriguing trade. Of course Montréal got a former top-scorer for almost nothing and as one of the worst team in the League, they can only improve. But I'm not sure if a bandaid with known mental health issues can perform well in an impatient market full of negative pressure. He'd better produce fast, otherwise his shoulders will become heavier and heavier...

Not even surprised. Some weird goalie management here: at some point Nashville wanted to trade Saros, giving the keys to Askarov who was finally bumped out of the depth chart by Wedgewood. A tough pill to swallow...

Hakanpää is supposed to have signed with the Leafs, but... And then: Conclusion: lol !

The $4,580,917 mentioned for Broberg; it this amount in US dollars or in colombian pesos ?

That's strange, I don't see any Huberdeau jersey in the pic... Well, if you want to move faster at a more reasonable cost, we could've sent you our useless but still NHL-ready $400M Centre Vidéotron.

Meh, I don't get it either... Usually, you don't fix what's ain't broken...

Yeap, about time... I will regret the fantastic views that the old Saddledome offers with the cameras very close to the ice but it's a necessary need for the franchise. Meanwhile, in Ottawa... [cough cough]

The rebuilding teams are not there yet, L.A. counting on Kuemper and without Arvdisoon made a big step back, I'm curious to see how will Vegas do after losing their last misfits. 1. Edmonton 2. Vancouver 3. Vegas 4. Seattle 5. Los Angeles 6. Calgary 7. Anaheim 8. San José

I'm trending in the same direction. New Jersey has improved with better goaltending and if they can reamin healthy, the Pens are definitely on a downward trend, I still don't believe in the Jackets and Tortorella will push his team to the limit I guess. Things are a bit blurry in the middle, hard to tell who will make it... 1. NY Rangers 2. Carolina 3. New Jersey 4. NY Islanders 5. Washington 6. Pittsburgh 7. Philadelphia 8. Columbus

Another fun fact: when he joined the Stars, Pavelski switched from #8 to #16 because supposedly he couldn't wear #8 because Goldsworthy's number was retired by the franchise. But #16 was his favorite number and he did the switch for that reason, not because #8 wasn't available.

Nope. Doesn't look good. I maintain: that jersey remains ugly, even if a multiple 40-goal scorer wears it.
