On the Beat: Zach Parise almost goes yard at Metrodome, Habs #1 draft choice going back to school, Learn more about Marleau and his No Trade Clause.

Word from the Beat Writers:

  • Looks like the Habs #1 draft choice is heading back to school
  • David Staples over at The Cult of Hockey explains that the NHL and USA Hockey are blocking Hudler moving to Moscow Dynamo.
  • Learn more from David Pollak of Working the Corners who explains more about Marleau and his No Trade Clause as well as more about Nabakov.
  • Chip Alexander of The News & Observer with Aaron Ward’s impression of his new/old team.  It appears that Anton Babchuk also got a new agent so perhaps that will help in the negotiations with the Hurricanes.

  • Damien Cox over at The Spin details the position of the NHL over the Coyotes situation.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
