June 30, 201510 yr comment_130040 TSN legal analyst Eric Macramalla shed some light on the matter and said on TSN 1200’s “The Drive” in Ottawa that Richards was involved in an issue at the border. NBC’s Pierre McGuire also confirmed something happened at a border crossing. On TSN 690 in Montreal, McGuirre said he had a “broken heart” over what happened. When host Mitch Melnick said he heard it was something that happened at a border crossing, McGuire agreed and said that was “correct.” “I’m not going to talk about it until it’s made public. I have a pretty good idea of what is happening,” McGuire said. ***Dont want to speculate, but Im getting the sinking feeling this is something pretty awful...
June 30, 201510 yr comment_130041 Man, I'd just assumed he was busted with epic amounts of drugs at the border, but if it's worse than a drug bust....man, I don't even wanna think.....
June 30, 201510 yr comment_130042 It could be. I mean that would be the obvious thing. but caught with drugs would be a pretty easy arrest not this mysterious "investigation" and the way the media is talking, the sports media seem to be unwilling to discuss what the investigation pertains to even though so many are claiming to know what it is. That leads to some speculation about some other things one might get caught with at the border that could trigger a wider RCMP investigation.

June 30, 201510 yr comment_130082 Any interest in Cody Hodgson? Center but could possibly play RW on the 3rd line.
June 30, 201510 yr comment_130088 6 yrs/ 34.5M for Hamilton. This couldn't have worked out much better for the Flames.
June 30, 201510 yr comment_130090 Any interest in Cody Hodgson? Center but could possibly play RW on the 3rd line. Here's the thing, Hodgson played for the Moose for a couple seasons so the Jets would know him well, particularly Zinger and Chipman, If they pass on him, it's for good reason. I think they will pass on him too. I don't see much interest there. As for the Mike Richards thing, Drugs is the best guess but who knows, don't really want to speculate, it could be anything really, weapons, drugs,whatever... Name it and it could be it... Guys got tons of money so generally it seems that people with lots of money can get away with certain things. It's gotta be pretty bad if the Kings decided to terminate his contract, you know they did that knowing whatever the reason he was busted for is a valid one for sure.

I think they will pass on him too. I don't see much interest there. Very good point. If hes available cheap he might be worth a reclamation project. But they might see, all things being equal, put Armia or someone there. Also, presumably Burmi signs. If Stafford does too, the Right Side is complete.
June 30, 201510 yr comment_130096 I dunno, Apparently Hodgson is one of those guys that might have some attitude issues, I think The Jets would stay far away from guys like that.. It's part of the reason that i'm not convinced burmistrov will be back too, they might bring him back if his attitude is in check but if it's not, they might sign and then trade him. It's hard to say. Think the Jets are high on character and I'm not sure Hodgson fits that profile exactly. Some talk that he had an attitude issue going all the way back to the Moose days.
June 30, 201510 yr comment_130107 He had 6 goals and 7 assists in 78 games, something ain't right with that guy at this time.
June 30, 201510 yr comment_130114 I think he was playing 4th line minutes but regardless, perhaps that big contract he got, went to his head, it wouldn't be the first player and it wont be the last player that has happened too. Hodgson was a really solid prospect at one point, he's still pretty young so maybe i'd take a flyer on him, maybe on a 2 way deal (doubt he accepts that tho) cuz if the kid ever did get his head back on straight and actually lived up to his hype, he could be very good. But like many b4 and no doubt many after, i think that ship might have sailed and Hodgson is what he is.
June 30, 201510 yr comment_130136 Russ Hobson ✔ @russ_sportsguy #NHLJets announce signing of unrestricted free agent Drew Stafford on 2 year contract worth an average annual value of $4.35 million.
June 30, 201510 yr comment_130138 Surprised Stafford wouldnt want more term (or wasnt able to get more term elseware). Good deal for the Jets.
June 30, 201510 yr comment_130143 Excellent we are keeping Stafford. Now I just have to wonder if we'll gain anyone
June 30, 201510 yr comment_130145 The guys we will be gaining will be either 1. A 4th line winger or 2. LHD man or 3. most likely, they will promote from with in, Think Ehlers,Morrissey,Burmistrov type stuff.
