Did Dreger say Hakanpaa was going to sign next in Toronto? Pretty sure he did like July 1st

He was suppose to sign with Toronto July 1st, but the contract has not been registered. He's existing knee injury raised questions, but apparently he has played with the injury while with the Stars and now Toronto is satisfied he can with it for them too.

Marner for Rants swap confirmed :sarcasm:


Nah, the Avs are clearly going to sign Rantanen to a Shohei deal that means he gets paid silly money, but it’s all in year 9 as deferred payment. Then they’ll sign Marner and Crosby in FA to similar shenanigans contracts and the league will have a hissy fit and say only Vegas is allowed to bullshit to that degree. The Avalanche will be disbanded and MacK/Crosby will go play men’s league in Nova Scotia

Yep. I'm glad you posted this. This is likely the only option.

I really really like that. PEB is an awesome personality to have around, if he can play even slightly. Mikko an Nate were just visiting him for his wife's youtube episode last summer, so have to imagine this was probably talked about a bit back there no?

Avs wanted Tyler Johnson, but he saw more opportunities in Boston and I don't blame him.

PEB is awesome, probably isn't an amazing NHLer anymore, but seems like a beast in the lockerroom.

Doubt there’s anything left in the tank for PEB unfortunately

If he can be a 13th forward or at best a 4C he is a welcome addition for the locker room.

Avs have a glaring problem also in the locker room with little stories leaking out and hes a glue type of guy.

PEB is gonna be 40 soon. I guess there is no harm in having him on a PTO, but I’d think there will be better options for 4C

With Rantanen back in Denver, maybe we'll hear a bit more about contract talks soon?

It’s the captain job to fix those locker room issues. Hopefully we have a captain this year.

Edit: @Grigowski beat me to it
No doubt that the single biggest factor on that front is having Gabe back. However other guys who are good leaders do help in that regard. For example this team also misses EJ in that regard.
