2017 NHL Off Season

[Great8]

Heard a rumour. Reluctantly doing some research on Karl Alzner.

Oh boy...

Off to Montreal. $24m over 5 years.
Sad in one way to see him go but it's way more than we could offer

 

[Bradesmaen]

Gagner getting paid again. Hard to believe he's only 27. Seems like he has been around forever.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Duchene still at the Avalanche, almost got traded on SPortsnet... Wilson going to Colorado from Nashville.

 

[Bradesmaen]

LA Kings, never change with your bad UFA deals.

 

[Bradesmaen]

 

[Great8]

Shattenkirk to the Rags on a 4 year $27m deal and Williams off to the Canes on a 2 year $9m deal

 

[Great8]

Bonino and Scott Hartnell to the Preds

 

[PalaceGun]

I'd love to see Tampa's "analytics"...


Turning the puck over = good
Banging the puck off the glass when there are better options to exit the zone = good
Exit the zone and see puck re-enter the zone seconds later = good
Chasing shadows = good

 

[PalaceGun]

Emelin to Nashville doesn't make much sense.
Haley to the Calamity Cats even less sense.

 

[PalaceGun]

LA Kings, never change with your bad UFA deals.

A team that doesn't score many goals signing a player who might lift the scoring rate for one season at $1million is never a "bad deal".
Particularly with limited cap space.

I was more thinking his age and declining numbers. LA need speed, they are too slow.

Anyhow, big cap number for Price. Oof. Will be 38 and have 10.5 against the cap by the end of the contract. Clearly the best goalie, but thats a big number.

 

[PalaceGun]

At least Cammalleri won't have any problems keeping up with his teammates on the ice in LA, unlike someone like Lucic at 5v5

Price contract = standard and expected

What's Lou just done?
Amusing.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Wow.. no wonder we didnt sign him. Thank christ for that. I love Patty, always will, but he's declined.

 

[scottyjc]

Thanks for the memories Patty - but Toronto can have you at that price

 

[Great8]

Why Caps, why?
Kuznetsov with a 8 year $64m extension

Hahaha. I'd have him for $5.5M, $6M max.

Who is his agent? Never scored more than 20 goals in a season and is now getting paid more than Tarasenko.

Crapitals have $4.6 million left in cap room for Burakovsky, Grubauer and five other players. That's a bit of a bind...

We are going to be cellar dwellers for the next 5 years atleast I would of done a complete slash and burn and cleaned house.

At least you can look forward to the draft class of 2017...

 

[PalaceGun]

Movement out of DC has commenced already.
Johansson out the door to NJ for a couple of picks.

 

[Phone]

Join us Washington. It's fun in no man's land.

Price contract = standard and expected

Very nice to have our best player locked away long term.....

 

[Phone]

I don't like signing goalies that long, but, you know, it's Price...

I also don't like that Marleau deal but the leafs will have him murdered when the deal starts biting

They call it Robidas Island in Chronno.
A mythical land 10 miles off the shores of Lake Ontario.

Lupul, Michalek, Laich, Greening and Robidas are current residents.

Paying $6.25M/season for "veteran leadership" and power-play (which was already very good)?
His 5v5 production over the past three season would place him in
10th for the Leafs and in that time at 5v5 he has produced a lower pts/60 than Leo Komarov, Mike Fisher, Nick Bjugstad, Shane Doan and Brian Gionta.
Yikes...
