Around the League '16-'17 Other Teams' Free Agent Frenzy

[deeshamrock]

Josh Anderson has requested a trade out of CBJ.

Sucks for the Jackets. He's a solid young power forward who in my opinion has not reached he full potential.

I expected him to be a big part of their offense this year and going forward, he looked to be heading in a good direction last year. However, it all comes down to $$ , and apparently neither side is budging. Kekalainen is denying that Anderson asked to be traded. And in prior trade talks for Duchene, he was a player the Avs asked about (reportedly) and Kekalainen wouldn't consider it. Now with contract talks going nowhere fast, I wonder if they will honor Anderson's request and move him as part of a Duchene trade.

I want Iggy and Jagr in the league....not with the kings but in the league.

It's a better place with them, and was thinking Tampa could be interested in one.

St Louis is short a few forwards w/injuries, I wonder if they'd consider signing one of them.

For those wanting a darker theme, a user has created one.
Just remember to be nice it's on another teams board. It will work for both Chrome or Firefox. There are links for both if you through the thread.

Thank you! SO much better, there's way too much white normally.

I don't mind it except for all the wasted space. A one line reply takes of 25% of the page. Also quotes need to be a different color background. Otherwise, this site was long overdue for an upgrade.

Absolutely.

I agree. I just wish it would work on mobile as well. Guess I just have to hope they'll add official themes.

Oh, I'm liking it more than disliking it. There's a lot of nice features now.

Anyway, Kings will start with Gaborik out? Not too bad, I guess. Hopefully he'll be ready soon and hopefully he can get up to speed quickly. We need his skill.

Jagr in St. Louis? Blues GM says it's been discussed internally...

From what was written in prior articles, Jagr was a bit picky on who he wanted to sign with. But given his phone hasn't been ringing off the hook, he should consider it if the blues call.

St Louis is technically east of the Mississippi.

I believe you can now copy and paste twitter links now, makes life easier for posting content from twitter.

Sad news...Rest in Peace, Dave. IMO, one of the best in the business, loved listening to his calls on games.

That sucks. Gone too soon.

Enjoyed Dave Strader's calls. RIP.

The picture quality for the Knights-Sharks is so bad. It looks like they're screen sharing the feed from an Ipad.

The new layout is terrible on mobile. Constant diarrhea of ads.

I love B-Mels insight on the NHL, but there's no way the Flames are winning the cup with Mike Smith in net. This isn't 2012 bro.

I can still hear his voice calling Penner GWG goal vs the Cryotes in the WCF .

I don't think they're WCF finalists, but Mike Smith will be playing under much less pressure because the defense in front on him, and the Flames top 4 is good, is much better than he's had. He'll do fine, it makes a big difference.

If indeed Jagr deal gets done in Calgary, am told it's for $1 million base salary plus another $1 million in attainable bonuses

He picked 3 teams (I think the Habs were one of the other 2, from what I read) he felt had a shot to have a deep playoff run. And of course, $$$

And a bit more details on the standoff between the BJ's and Josh ANderson:

No movement on RFA front with CBJ/Josh Anderson. Club wants 3-yr term ($1.85M AAV); player would do one-year QO at $735K. Sides entrenched.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

A little annoyed we didn't snag Jagr at that price but if his team list was accurate then I can understand

Busy waiver wire today, long list.

Malcom SUbban was a bit of a surprise, I think he's still young enough to develop and not sure he was a good fit in Boston
Kerby Rychal, I think, somebody will pick up.

It's ESPN, so there's that. Melrose has Mike Smith winning the Vezna... And some writer named Vick picked the Sharks to win the division and the Cup.

VGK claims Subban from BOS. COL claims Nemeth from DAL.

That's a good pickup for the Knights. Fleury's future isn't there and Subban is young and he'll have a fresh start.


And as soon as Hossa goes on LTIR, the Hawks will be signing Cody Franson, so the report today states on TSN
