On the surface, the Jokinen signing is easy to overlook considering the fireworks from the league’s first day of free agency.

Jason Spezza rejected a trade to the Nashville Predators. Why? Only Spezza may know the answer to that question, but Sean Avery offered his opinion. This isn’t going to go over very well.

The constant debate between Jonathan Bernier and James Reimer was one of the most interesting and dumbfounding situations to follow.

Gary Bettman appears. Fans boo. It’s tradition! Beautiful, beautiful tradition. Hockey fans in Philadelphia gave Bettman a heavy dosage of booing as he introduced the 2014 NHL Draft. The loud, continuous booing almost made up for the lack of boos from Los Angeles after they won the Cup.

The Los Angeles Kings won’t be bringing back Willie Mitchell. The defenseman will head to free agency after the Kings reportedly said they have “no room” for him. Mitchell still has plenty to offer in the NHL even at the age of 37, but the Kings have made a decision to go with younger, cheaper […]

UPDATE: Other sources have surfaced disputing the original trade rumor. You can read about that here. As we originally mentioned, you always have to take these rumors as they come.
