Pierre LeBrun of ESPN participated in a Q & A today,
If you could make at least one semi-big change to the game, what would it be?
Pierre LeBrun I would start the regular season Sept. 20 and end the playoffs by May 31
Mr LeBrun do you think the Chicago Blackhawks will be better than last season?
Pierre LeBrun yes, by sole virtue of not being defending champs, Hawks had more time to recover this summer. I think they're primed for a great season
How about Larry Robinson's comments over the summer that Joe's sense of humor and jibes were a problem with him as captain?
Pierre LeBrun Where to start with your Sharks ?? Yikes. So much talent still on this team but the off-season turmoil ... wow.... going to be awfully interesting to watch how it all unfolds. It can go two ways, they rally from all the crazyness and feed off it; it the whole thing self-implodes
What are your thoughts on the Vancouver Canucks? Much has been made of the reload and significant changes both on and off the ice. Are they playoff contenders? What will Willie Desjardins bring to Vancouver?
Pierre LeBrun Kevin, it's interesting I was talking to an NHL GM a few weeks ago and unprovoked he brought up Vancouver as a team he feels will surprise people this year.... It wouldn't surprise me if they contended for a playoff spot. They've improved their depth although losing Kesler is tough to replace as No. 2 center.Still overall, I like the feel of that team at least as far as having a chance to make the playoffs. I don't think they're championship contender material anymore
