      Have to find out which team a player picks to be traded to. Then wait and see if David Stern wants that team to contend this year. If not, trade is blocked.

        That was one time but I think he did the right thing and the situation is iffy because the NBA pretty much owns the Hornets.

            It’s really quite easy. I almost always have nothing better to do at 7pm. Besides I’d rather watch the game than do much of anything else. And games I can’t watch live I go to the internet to watch, as long as the game hasn’t been spoiled.

      NFL is already pretty beat down and there’s just not many trades. A really well-run NHL site I could see really taking off. That would be cool.

      That would be awesome but PFT pretty much as the NFL wrapped up. Also hockeybuzz, as unreliable as the rumors are, has a lot of quality bloggers and is a good source as well. Would be nice to see some competition though, and nothing beats the simple and effective style of MLBTR.

        Every rumor is unreliable. Not just in one sport or another. If they were reliable the Yankees would have Cliff Lee.

    There needs to be an NHLTR. NBA is a waste of time

      “There needs to be an NHLTR. NBA is a waste of time”

      You do realize that it does not even snow in roughly 1/4 of the nation, much less stay cold long enough for ice. It is kind of hard for people in those areas to have ANY interest in chasing a puck across an arena covered in ice and many of the people there never grew up with ice skates laced on…

      Just a reminder for many who always wonder why most in the south have little regard for the NHL… Though I did grow up (decades back) in an area way further up in the south than where am now and it was colder than here in Florida.

          If you’re basing it off of popularity of the league, a site like HoopsRumors should definitely be before an NHLTR site, basketball is currently the third most popular sport in the country and is fast closing in on baseball for second, with football in first.  Hockey is holding a steady fourth.

          Just a reminder that some areas fans don’t pay attention to the sport much at all and that includes some that have a team even, like the Tampa Bay area some.

          Not dicing the sport, as posted that originally from WV and enjoy it, even had season tickets to the lightning the 1st year they played at the Thunderdome and cheered on Vladimir “Rosy” Ruzicka, my favorite Bruin.. Only reason a friend of mine and myself even got the tickets was to watch him…

          It’s just that the sport does not garner much local media and the further north one goes (I even notice) the more rabid support is, like when I travel “home” to WV.

          Was why mentioned that originally. Can truly understand how fans from places like Canada, Michigan, Minnesota feel about the sport when many are ice skating when they learn to walk pretty much, but many areas of the country that just does not apply and support for the sport is nearly non existent as a result, unless they learned to enjoy the sport from skating elsewhere.
