I can fix the regular season schedule for better parity
As it is now, we see Eastern conference teams in L. A. only once every two years. It was a great thrill to see the Kings come from behind against the Penguins and beat them at home, but with the current sked, that can't happen again until 2011-2012. Same with seeing Ovechkin, or Brodeur, etc. It ain't right and it ain't necessary.
Good news; there are no Olympics this year. Bad News; Kings have a 10 game road trip anyway.
Okay, so Game #10 is in Anaheim, 4 days after game #9. That should make it all easier.
There goes Hamhuis
To a team with a GM that is willing to make moves when he sees them. Holmgren at the Flyers made the moves at the trade deadline, and now he gets one of the best D-men available.
The case for Koivu
This is one of those perfect utility guys that fits my idea of a winning team with four affordable lines. Here is an article that lays out a good profile of Koivu.

Dear Mr. Lombardi- (cc to Santa Claus)
Thank you for such a great season. I can see your hard work beginning to pay off. Solid depth and ability, with such a young average age, makes for a bright future. You have asked the fans to be patient; many of us have been. We are now rewarded for that patience. However, in this salary cap era, I am worried that there may be a risk of "serial rebuilding," in focusing only on long-term depth and potential by hoarding prospects and draft picks.
I do not presume to know more than you; I am just a fan, spouting off in my laymen’s way. Think of this as my wish list, that I am seeking comfort by putting a few memes into the ether just to ensure they may possibly be noticed.
