Around the League '15-'16--Is it Summer Yet? Edition

[Ziggy Stardust]

Good move for Buffalo if they can get Vesey signed (which I think will happen).

 

[Quattro]

It's a 35+ contract, so his cap hit will remain until the contract expires. It was put in place to dissuade teams from handing out retirement contracts that would circumvent the cap.

Ah. Thanks.

Ducks moved Anderson to the Leafs for the 30th overall pick and a 2nd round pick.

 

[Omni Owl]

There goes Anderson. Ducks get good value from him.

 

[Little Psycho]

Good return for the ducks.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Let's see if Gibson can now handle the pressure of being the #1 guy in net for the whole season.

He is the greatest goalie of all time, so I'm sure he'll be inducted into the Hall of Fame after he posts an 82-0 record this season.

So expansion is a go
Ducks were going to lose him for nothing to the Black Knights next year

Saw on my phone notifications that Florida obtained rights to talk to Yandle from the Rangers.

yup for a 6th rounder and a conditional 4th if he signs.

wow, there was an article in the Times this weekend talking about how the Ducks were saying resigning Anderson was a priority

 

[LAKings88]

Kulikov being shopped. Panthers may want to keep Campbell too.

Never read anything pertaining to hockey in the times.

Unpopular opinion: Ducks kept the wrong goalie.

ROFL Laffs just gave Andersen 5 x 5

 

[kingsholygrail]

Isn't this just more evidence that the 1A/1B goalie situation is not reliable from a cap perspective?

Just about everyone knows that. But it does get you more value for the one you trade.
But 5M. Guess Bernier is back to being unhappy again.
They ruined him having to face all those shots.

That's a really good deal...

But will be 5-6 in the playoffs.

The thing about goalies is that they all want to be starters.

You're not going to keep a proven goalie as a 1B unless he has issues.

See: Brian Elliott.

but yeah another nail in the 'lol replacement level goaltending' coffin please

You're right, they did.

same AAV as Quick? lol

 

[kingsfan28]

I know. I hope Andersen brought his flame Pejorative Slurant gear with him cause the Toronto media will be in his face like a planet orbiting too close to the sun.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Quick's contract looks better every season.

 

[KopitarFAN]

same AAV as Quick? lol

That's not really fair, if Quick had signed for 5 years (or even 7, like Rinne) his AAV would be $7M.
