@Pokecheque Sounds like Kathryn Tappen will partially replace Jamie Hersch on NHL Network. Great move there.

Oh! I'm definitely good with that.

Erika Wachter hosted with Bruce Boudreau tonight, I know the Devils fired her but I'm not sure if she got another gig or not.

Did Florida lose anyone?

Montour was it.

Montour, OEL and someone else I might be missing

Stenlund

Going out:
Tarasenko (Detroit)
Okposo (retired)
Cousins (Ottawa)
Lorentz (Toronto)
Stenlund (Utah)
Lomberg (Calgary)
Montour (Seattle)
Ekman-Larsson (Toronto)
Mahura (Seattle)
Stolarz (Toronto)

Coming in:
Nosek (New Jersey)
Greer (Calgary)
J. Boqvist (Boston)
Entwistle (Chicago)
Schmidt (Winnipeg)
Jaycob Megna (Chicago)
A. Boqvist (Columbus)
Driedger (Seattle)

Somewhat significant downgrade on paper. Tried and true 3-4 liners and one defensive pair replaced with scrubs. Stolarz was a great backup last season so remains to be seen if Knight or Driedger can provide the same this season. In addition Samoskevich, Gadjovich and Balinskis likely promoted to main squad full time.

Lol the Hurricanes are $90 under the cap...

Sens being able to re-up Ullmark to only a 4 year contract is a huge win.

It's a massive risk to re-up him BEFORE the season starts. There's a pretty good chance that they find out that their goaltending was only PART of their problems and their defense isn't nearly as good as they think it is.

Not saying he's not an upgrade on what they had - just saying there's no benefit to doing this right now. He wasn't going to earn MORE than the $8.25M he got for the next 4 years in say 2-3 months and that's IF it works out as they hope.

More bad management from the sens lol...
