Alfie to resume skating; if he returns, it’s Detroit or nothing | ProHockeyTalk
We will find out in a few weeks whether Alfredsson wants to return or not. I have a feeling that he will, but I do not want to bet on it. His play from last season certainly indicated that he has at least one more year of hockey left in him.

Flyers’ Timonen diagnosed with blood clots | ProHockeyTalk
Blood clots can be deadly, and should not be taken lightly. It is unknown whether Timonen will decide to retire, or if he will try to continue playing. I have a feeling that the former is the most likely option.
Tyler Dellow hired by Oilers as mainstreaming of fancy stats is complete | Puck Daddy – Yahoo Sports
I have never been into advanced stats the same way that many of you currently are. But, I am excited to see what the future holds for these stats as NHL teams begin to use them.

That was fast: Flyers sign Del Zotto to one-year, $1.3M deal | ProHockeyTalk
It was about time. As I said a few days ago, as soon as injuries begin to emerge, players like Del Zotto would find a team.

While I am sure that the Flyers would rather have had Timomen in their lineup, Del Zotto has a lot of upside, and this could be very rewarding in the end.

EA overvalues many players, just as it undervalues many as well. Quincey is not an 84 overall player, but Weiss is better than an 81.

Remembering the Seattle Metropolitans, America’s first Stanley Cup champion – SBNation.com
The Metropolitans won the Cup back in 1917, before the NHL had even existed. If the NHL decides to put an expansion team in Seattle, having it begin play in 2017 would be quite fitting. The 100-year anniversary of America’s first ever Cup win.
Let’s Go Red Wings!
