Tuesday Chum Bucket: CBA talks resume tomorrow

  • “Major economic issues aren’t on the agenda” at CBA meetings between the league and players’ association tomorrow and Thursday, according to Bill Daly, which probably means the sides will discuss such pressing matters as whether players are required to provide their own Gatorade and which bars in Phoenix it’s acceptable to break curfew and get drunk at.

  • Speaking of Phoenix and interminable sagas, former Sharks owner Greg Jamison has been granted yet another 30-day extension by the city of Glendale in his neverending quest to purchase the Coyotes. [Puck Daddy]
  • In case you missed it over the weekend, Antti Niemi signed with his former SM-liiga squad, Pelicans Lahti, in his native Finland. On an unrelated note, that Brad Stuart contract carries a no-trade clause. [CSN Bay Area]

  • A fascinating look at everything that goes into making a successful Sharks broadcast. [San Jose Sharks]
