Happy humpday! Today’s Backhand Shelf podcast covered all the pre-season things of note such as…
* Accelerated compliance buyouts?
* Who wants Redden/Gomez?
* Ways NHL teams are trying to lure in fans
* What’s PK Subban worth?
* Pre-season groin pulls
* And much more
You can listen to it here:
I think the idea of trading PK or Jamie Benn is just goofy. Both mean so much to their respective franchises at this point that it would be a colossal failure not to come to some kind of terms even if you have to slightly overpay them through the rest of their RFA years. I think it’s just a situation where both of these players have the leverage and they’re willing to miss a few more games, and they’ll still probably get what they want
Brian Leetch…15pts in 15 games. +11….8pts in 13 playoff games. As a Leaf fan, I’d take Brian Leetch part 2. Why do you want to hate Subban? I don’t get it, you don’t really know much about hockey do you Goldy?
I meant it more in terms of signing an old veteran passed his prime. It was a joke, I wasn’t making any serious comparison between Gomez or Redden and Leetch. I want to hate Subban because I lived in Montreal for four years and had to listen to Habs fans never, ever shut up about him. And don’t call me Goldy, it’s weird.
