Don't forget that the NHL Pre-Draft Combine is going on in Toronto right now. Here's a list of the players involved.

Any chance of finding out when the '06-'07 schedule will be released?

I've updated the schedule on the first post of this thread through Summer 2007 for your quick reference.

Thanks DK, sometimes you can be an angel.... other times...

I really like that

Good thread.

SO GOOD THAT IT GETS MY 1000th POST!!!!!!!!!

when r we going to host an all star game

Ask again, but in English this time.

Dates on first post have been updated...

Any word on when the Trade Deadline will be? And I agree lol, when will we see an All-Star Game?

So just to be clear about this whole season opening thing, ESPN lists the games as being played tomorrow morning, but Versus says the games are going to be on tv on Sunday. What's the deal, is Versus just going to show recorded games on Sunday?

Saturday's games will be aired live on NHLN. Sunday's on Versus. Both days the games will be broadcast at 12:30pm and 2:30pm EDT.

Important NHL dates:

* June 26 - 27: NHL Entry Draft in Montreal
* July 1: Free agency signing period begins
* July 5: Deadline for player-elected salary arbitration
* July 6: Deadline for club-elected salary arbitration
* July 10: Deadline for eligible players to elect Group 5 free agency
* July 20 - Aug. 4: Salary arbitration hearings held
