Hockey news has been very quiet on Tobacco Road of late. There have been a few unofficial rumblings about a contract extension still being worked on with the Eric Staal camp, but again that is unofficial.
My view has not changed. I think the team should wait and see regarding the extension, but I can understand the other side of things as well. It sure is enticing to see what you could get for the captain at trade deadline next March, but it is a gamble.
Earlier this week, the NHL released the news that they received official expansion bids from Quebec and Las Vegas.
