Everyone in the hockey world seems all atwitter about this evening's GM dinner in New York. Despite everyone saying there's no agenda, every article reports that the Menu for NHL brass includes labor news. Well, I guess we'd all be surprised if it didn't come up, but of equal importance to the long-range health of the game is the status of some of the rules changes such as shootouts to break ties and the goalie crease changes. The GM's are experts in the game on the ice - I'm not so sure that the CBA is their best foot forward. I don't think we'll hear a lot of news but since every Canadian media outlet seems to say they're sending someone to "cover" the dinner (hope it's a BIG restaurant - going to be crowded!), I'm sure there will be something tomorrow from each of them to justify their trips.
