Salary Cap: 2014-15 Roster-building Thread XI | All UFA and Trade proposals here | Cap SET: $69M

I can't believe that Letang is 27. Weird.

How old do you feel like he should be?

 

[ColePens]

Lol don't you fret- after work today i'll be partying with you folks on HF all night. Planned my week around it.

 

[penguins2946*]

Might be going for Ekblad !

I read they were going to draft Reinhart with the #1 pick, though that's just speculation I think.

 

[IcedCapp]

Don't quote me on this, but I think it will be between 70.4-70.9

 

[DegenX]

Welp, Kesler's gone ...

So, how 'bout those Pacioretty rumors?

Too late. #livingonthewildside

 

[Crafton]

only worth acquiring if they make this his goal song:

I do like Patches. They may have Scuderi and Dupuis for him.

 

[Hottubber]

Now apparently the canucks are after Tyler Myers (per everyones fav Pierre McGuire on 1040 radio out of van)

That is strange. Dump Garrison, then trade for Myers? Doesn't make much sense

 

[AjaxTelamon]

If a 68 mil cap forces one of Dupuis or Scuds out of here, so be it.

My thoughts exactly.

Sounds like a win-win situation to me Get 'er done, JR!

I'm pretty sure Benning thinks this is NHL14 or something.

 

[penguins2946*]

Canucks are on a roll with trades today. They just traded Anaheim's 3rd for Dorsett. That's not nearly as bad as the other 2 deals. Also Ribero was bought out by Arizona.

 

[AjaxTelamon]

I certainly hope we are negotiating to extend Martin. I haven't heard anything to this effect though. I have no idea how you make a Martin-less D work a year from now, but he will be asking for big money and term.

New GM wants to create a certain identity I guess, + Kesler wanted out, so it's not like he had much of a choice

 

[Speaking Moistly]

I'm pretty sure Benning thinks this is NHL14 or something.

Yeah, it's starting to look that way. Maybe he's going for a record of the most trades in 1 day?

 

[mpp9]

Anaheim still has a ton of enticing young wingers left they didn't deal for Kesler. Hope we're talking to them.

 

[penguins2946*]

For those of you who want a juicy draft, this probably excites you:

@MikeKellyNHL: Hearing Panthers seriously considering an offer from the Maple Leafs for the #1 overall pick. JVR centerpiece with others going to FLA

Everything is happening.

 

[Rectify]

Everything is happening.

EDIT: Beaten to it ^

 

[Waffle Fries]

I'd give up more for Patches than I would Kane. I doubt he gets moved though.



Also.. what the hell is Vancouver doing today

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

There are too many scoring wings reportedly available for us not to end up with one of them, aren't there?

 

[themethod7]

Does "All UFA/trade talk here" apply only to Penguins?? Just wondering if we should move all that here through the draft weekend, or if we should post anything related to other teams in the "Around the NHL" thread??

 

[billybudd]

Well, one of them's Neal, so let's hope we don't go lateral with that. Unless it's for Kane, which I could dig. But that's about it.

Bingo. Even though I'm less enthused about the prospect of a Neal/Kane swap than pretty much everyone.

That's what you think. We're really getting a Staal and moving Scuderi, Dupuis and, depending on which Staal, someone else to afford it.

Crosby
Malkin
E/J Staal
Sutter

4C model ftw. They can play without wingers, right?


Hopefully the market gets over saturated and drives the prices down a bit.
