Aidan Thompson commits to Denver.

He's really bad.

How he's playing this year, Twins could get him for a ham sandwich.

I don't mind major conferences adding hockey, it's not like the B1G has been dominating the last 5 years. I only see one major conference adding hockey to its members sports and that's the Pac-12. At some point the NCHC will expand and even the WCHA could expand. The CCHA could come back as a conference with teams that weren't in the CCHA. A new CCHA that is in the BIGXII, SEC, and ACC footprint where the conferences are slightly over lapped. No matter who adds hockey they are going to need donors to make a big donation. Some could go with a Arizona State type donation, but most will need a Penn State donation. 4,000 to 5,000 is the minimum of a college hockey arena.

The guy who knows a lot about the play up or down thing is Jeff Cox a Hockey East writer. School like Colorado College are grandfathered in. I think the NCAA should just let the D2 hockey teams play D1.

Who are you talking about? Pitt is a FBS school and in the ACC for all sports. There is a rule that a D2 or D3 school can't play up a division.

There was a fight that was put on twitter from the Canadians camp. The two players where throwing haymakers. There was another at the Ducks camp where the guy getting worked over hugged the other to end the fight.

Gornall caused a player to go to the WHL because NCAA players hit to hard.

I always wondered if fights happen at NHL development camps, well I found out today they do.

Kovalchuk is going to play in the KHL next season and come back to the NHL as a free agent.

The Avs sign the NHL's biggest bust, Yakupov.

I wonder if the Twins are going to try and get the NHL to fund the women's program now.

I was told that UAH started hockey because of the German rocket scientists there, not sure how true it is.

Marleau signs with the Maple Leafs 3 years for $18.75 Million, another overpaid player.

Kruger has been traded to Vegas.

Price is going to be a Montreal Canadian for life.

Antti Niemi to Pittsburg.

Kuemper signed by the Kings along with Folin.

Alexei Emelin traded to Nashville for a 3rd round pick.

Kunitz to Tampa Bay and Bonino to Nashville

Vegas let Berube (Islanders pick) and Thorburn (Jets pick) hit free agency. Berube was signed by Chicago and Thorbrun was signed by St. Louis. Two picks by Vegas that could have been better players. Grabovski will not be cleared to play for the Golden Knights. Edit: Connor Brickley (Carolina puck) was also let go by Vegas.

Wild get another Gopher in Kyle Rau. Shattenkirk signs with the Rangers for $26.6 million, I think that is an over payment for him. Joe Thornton re-signs with the Sharks for at least $6 million, yet another over payment. Wilcox signed by Buffalo.

Kristo to the KHL.

Not sure if UND was looking at him, Nolan Sullivan committed to Omaha.

Wild trade Scandella and Pominville to Sabers for Foligno and Ennis
