The Weekly Deke is suffering from the offseason blues.  News is pretty hard to come by, so to compensate, we just add more guests!  This week Grant Beery is joined in Denver by Eric Butler, visiting from Philly.  Chris Roberts, Bill Brister, Alan Shields, and Fred Beery are also on the show, broadcasting from their usual locations.

The crew discuss Joe Sakic, Mats Sundin and the topic of retirement decisions.  Things get a bit heated when Bill and Grant talk Patrick Roy and the Montreal Canadiens, but everyone agrees that the Alexander Radulov situation is being handled very well by the Predators.  A few other tidbits of news also happen to creep in among the madness.

TSN is reporting that they have confirmed the city that will host the next NHL Winter Classic. The Detroit Red Wings will play the Chicago Blackhawks at either Wrigley Field or Soldier Field. While the exact spot hasn’t been announced, Blackhawks president John McDonough has close ties to the Cubs, so I would expect it to take place at Wrigley Field.

Gary Bettman was quoted as saying Chicago made sense as a venue for the next game. New York, however, was looked as the favorite due to the availability of Yankee Stadium just before it’s to be demolished.

Other cities being considered included Denver, Boston, Detroit, Montreal, Toronto, Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia.

The seventh installment of TWeekD asks the important questions. Who is bringing home the Cup? Can Jeremy Roenick have another successful season with the Sharks? Should we be concerned about NHL players signing in Europe? The biggest question of all, however, is what the NHL should do to make the game of hockey a bigger presence in the pro sports market. Contraction or Relegation. Alan Shields, Chris Roberts, and host Grant Beery weigh in on all these and a little bit more.
