I just put up a weekend wrap-up, but I figured I'll do another entry with some notes and news.
The first comes from Jimmy Murphy, who posted this article on twitter. The Ottawa Sun Times has reported that the NHL will be looking into Marc Savard's contract to see if retirement was mentioned during negotiations because it is such a front loaded contract.
With a player in or nearing the end of his prime, you see these types of contracts handed out and the NHL is already investigating in a number of them (see: Vancouver G Roberto Luongo, Philly D Chris Pronger and Chicago RW Marian Hossa.)
No idea what will happen, but it is a pretty interesting read under the heading "Off the Glass".
The second piece of information is that last week I was in Bloguin's National Podcast talking about the Marc Savard contract. You can catch the podcast here or on the left side of the site under "Podcasts".
We will be unveiling a couple new things to our blog to arouse interest in our readers. The first is going to be a monthly comic called "The Hick and The Stick". The first one should be out shortly and, depending on feedback, will become a monthly installment in our blog.
We will also be doing a Monday Mailbag, which will be unveiled tomorrow. I'll be redesigning the site a tad to make this work, but you'll be able to submit any and all questions (doesn't have to be hockey related, but it should be) and I'll try to answer all of them the best I can.
Ok, that's all I got. Enjoy your football!
