Bukauskas: “Okay, the Board of Trustees meetings will be held in New York on Tuesday, Elliott. Will you be there, is there anything interesting on the agenda that we should be aware of?
Friedman: “Well, I don't think there will be anything too big. It doesn't sound like that. I can always be proven wrong, but this is where I stand now.
Is This Kaapo Kakko's Last Year With The New York Rangers?
I would expect Tampa sales to be $2 billion, in that area, depending on who you talk to. From the same, like $1.8 (billion) to $2 billion.
I think one is approved, although I don't think that means you will see a big change in the way lightning is run for a while, I think this will be a gradual process, but I think someone is being worked on.
Expansion. I know there have been rumors about expansion. I don't expect anything too big from this when it comes to expansion. Although I don't doubt them to some extent, they will talk about it or be updated about it. It seems to me that when it comes to expansion, the NHL, it's like, in the past, you open the process and wait to see who comes.
I think it will be almost the opposite. It will happen, we will know exactly who is there, exactly what all these bids can do, and then we will announce the expansion when everyone is ready. And I don't think they're even close to that right now.
I don't know if this will be part of the Board of Governors, but there are two decisions coming up, which are expected this week, and I think everyone hopes that they will come to fruition this week.
Number one, you know, the Columbus Blue Jackets, obviously, have to deal with their cap situation, and I think they're hoping to do that this week.
What could Patrik Laine's injury mean for the Montreal Canadiens?
And another one, Kyle, that has to be fixed is Robin Lehner and Vegas and their cap situation. And I think there's hope for that to be fixed soon, too. “
