NHL Notes:

The Winter Classic has been cancelled.

Per Kevin Gibson, “Every NHL team has at least 2 players playing in Europe now. $488+million in 2012-13 NHL salaries are across the pond.”

Per Chris Botta, “Doubt anyone thought this NHL thing would get settled in next 2-3 days. Hope is still for a Dec. 1 start with a 64-72 game sked..”
