Just started.

Hey, you can actually hear the questions being asked.

This was an improvement but you could not hear the reporter being announced. I know when Max B is up, Yzerman gets fidgety for some reason.

I'm just seeing Ken KAl and Art talking (mostly Art).  Is there another video or link to the one with Yzerman?

Paul

Yzerman says there are UFAs he would like to sign, but there are 31 other teams would would like to do the same.  Also, some will re-sign with their current team.

Not good enough.  15 years ago we would have told Kenny to make it happen; the same should be said to Yzerman.

Kenny did not build a team from scratch. Holland was handed a Stanley Cup team and did well with it. Jimmy D orchestrated the rebuild to a championship team  Yzerman has started from the ground up pretty much and has done a solid job this far. I will not mind if we miss the playoffs even next year if it means this team will be competitive the following year and years to come. I think it is worth being patient and not desperate.

He just said the same thing about Kasper and Edvinsson.

High praise for Cossa from the GM, work ethic is great.  Really determined player.

That was one thing I was hoping to hear. Also earlier when he touched on our current goaltending situation. He seems a bit stubborn in describing Copps role though.

Watching Yzerman here, his look reminds me of Donald Rumsfield circa 2001 but some of his mannerisms reminds me of Columbo. Neither in a bad way. I think Yzerman will get his man just like Columbo always did.

I am glad someone asked about Grand Rapids. The few games I watched they looked very disorganized. I would not be surprised to see Ben Simon released.

Another off season of wait and see.

I love how Yzerman lite up when asked about the prospects. He was almost giddy. I think that has to be fun for a GM to see his draft picks come to fruition. There is some artistry in that.

Paulis there a way to tag another poster? 

Typically on other sites you use the@ symbol

Thank you

You will see that option in KK 2.1 along with some significant changes.

Right on, looking forward to it! Thank you

Other changes.... Formatting comments will be much more normal.  The spacing is all messed up when writing more than one paragraph.  Server will be more robust, thus eliminating crashes that are happening way too often.

Some other things too.  I am meeting with a new dev Tuesday afternoon to get all this moving in the right direction.

Yes I was really hyping Rasmussen this year.  Hope he returns fully healthy.  He was a big loss. Still very young, has transformed his game from the WHL days where he dominated teenagers with his size, now a very complete and unselfish player at both ends, and still with good size.
