Looks like we can get the NHL Center Ice package here, last year it was around 200. I am going to talk to Brandi about getting it, we do have long cold winters here. Sitting next to the wood burning stove drinking some cold ones and watching the Avs play when it's -40 outside sounds pretty darn good to me.

I love the NHL Center Ice package. If you enjoy hockey it is worth it. You get the Hockey Night in Canada games as well as all other match ups. The Canadian commercials alone make it worth it. Plus I love to watch the Habs, Buffalo, Edmonton and Blues games (plus anyone playing and beating Detroit. Good value for the dollar for hockey.

"Peter Forsberg might stay in Europe instead of returning to the Avs"
I would rather him stay in Europe than to play for somebody other than the Avs, but that's just me being selfish.

I heard a rumor that Forsberg would be resigning and bringing Naslund along with him. Don't know if it's true.
Where did you hear about Foote?

I think I heard the Avs have less then 6 mil free for this year. Maybe with Foote being out of the picture, they can focus on Forsberg. I'm not seeing Forsberg and Naslund playing for 3 mil each. Wish they would, just not seeing it. But Forsberg playing for 5.5 might work, I hope.

This is a quote I saw on another site:
"Channel 9 in Denver just reported that the Avs offered Foote 4years/12 million but he chose Columbus."
Can anyone confirm this?

"After the announcement that Adam Foote was headed to Columbus on the 11 PM new tonight they said that Maclean was just getting started. They said they have info that Doug has been negotiating to get Forsberg and Naslund into a CBJ uniform. Doug has stated he is looking at a payroll this year in the $35-$36 mill range. So there is room to go after these two."
I think Ohio is trying to buy our hockey team!

Bertuzzi reportedly to find out when he can play
According to a report from The Canadian Press, the NHL will announce its ruling on Todd Bertuzzi next week.
The ruling will determine when the Canucks forward can resume playing in the NHL.
Earlier this week, The Province reported that NHL commissioner Gary Bettman would likely add 10 to 20 games to the Bertuzzi's suspension for sucker-punching the Colorado Avalanche's Steve Moore on March 8, 2004.
Bertuzzi was suspended indefinitely following the hit. Moore was left with a broken neck, a concussion and no guarantee that he'll still be a professional hockey player.
Bertuzzi missed 13 regular-season games and seven others in the 2004 playoffs while losing nearly $502,000 in salary. He also was barred from playing in Europe by the International Ice Hockey Federation.
His return to the NHL is predicated on him being cleared by the commissioner. If not for the lockout that wiped out the entire 2004-05 season, this meeting with Bettman likely would've taken place long ago.
Bertuzzi first asked for his hearing in December, around the time he pleaded guilty in a Vancouver court to criminal assault and was given a conditional discharge. He faced up to 18 months in prison.
He wasn't allowed to play in the World Cup of Hockey last September and isn't on Canada's roster for the World Hockey Championship, which begins this week in Austria.
Moore is an unrestricted free agent after not being re-signed by the Avalanche.
He filed suit against Bertuzzi in Denver District Court in February seeking unspecified damages.
Bertuzzi was slated to earn $7.13 million last season, which was wiped out by the lockout. Due to the 24 percent rollback in player salaries in the new collective bargaining agreement, he is owed $5.421 million for the 2005-06 season.

A comment in today's post.
"The Avs hope to get another "original" member back in Peter Forsberg. But, like Foote, Forsberg is on the open market, and there is no shortage of bidders for his services.
There were no developments Monday in Forsberg's situation, but Martineau indicated the Avs are working to keep him.
Forsberg would like to play with his friend, star left wing Markus Naslund, and Lacroix may be trying to work out a tandem signing. But now Lacroix may have to contend with up to 29 other teams for their services. Forsberg has said he doesn't want to leave Denver. "

Foresberg won't go to the 'Nuks. He wants to play for a Cup winning team, he is not a Vancouver fan and he really likes living in CO. I think he still has his house here? Lets hope the Av's can get it done. I am a bit nervous about him not being signed yesterday. Maybe today?

Forsberg reportedly signed with Philly.
