Around the League 2015/16 - Part IV

What !?

 

[WTG]

Dean "screw the cap" Lombardi at it again

 

[Tv9924]

Doesn't LA need to re-sign Kopitar? How can they afford to take on those contracts?

And Lucic

?????!?!!!?!??????????????

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

Even if Philly eats max salary on both Schenn and Lecavalier, it's a terrible deal for LA.

 

[WTG]

This must be a 3 way deal? Must be?

 

[Hyzer]

LMAO hextall absolutely destroys lombardi


how the **** can he sign kopitar with those boat anchor contracts. this is absolutely hilarious.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Two good pieces for two bad ones.
What the ****?

 

[FroshaugFan2]

This. What an awful trade.

 

[WTG]

I think Dean Lombardi just wants the worst contracts in the league.

Next up Clarkson!!

 

[Nuckles]

When a move like this is made you question how that team won two cups in three years.

Edit: With PHI retaining 50% on both and Lecavalier saying he will retire at the end of the year, it isn't too bad.

 

[Zombotron]

Wasn't there a rumor of RNH for Seth Jones?
If it was true, then Oilers just miss another opportunity to grab a young promising defenseman.

It's shocking that Edmonton wouldn't offer up just one of it's forwards for Seth Jones

Mcdavid
Hall
Eberle
RNH
Yakupov
Draisatl

Yes, they should keep all of those players and keep trotting out an AHL defense

You would think that Chiarellie is smart enough to do it, but noooooo

If it was just RNH for Seth Jones, then lol

No, if they had stones, they'd send McDavid to Nashville for Seth Jones and Filip Forsberg+ and then insulate their Nurse-Jones pairing by jettisoning the RNH/Eberle/Yakupov triumvirate for veteran defenseman, like...oh, I don't know - Jay Bouwmeester

 

[Bad News Benning]

I wonder if this is Lombardi doing Hextall a favour.

Maybe Chia will take Sbisa off our hands

 

[WTG]

Still terrible IMO

 

[Hyzer]

even at 50% retention, philly wins this by a huge margin.

maybe lombardi can take sbisa/weber/bart off of our hands if hes trading assets for boat anchors.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Philly still wins majorly. Like huge.

 

[y2kcanucks]

Not sure why LA does this. The 3rd round pick is the most valuable piece in the trade...

 

[VanillaCoke]

Gives me such high hopes for Sbisa. Then I remember Benning thinks he's a top 4 and I

 

[WTG]

I really liked Jordan Weal.

He really put a number on the Comets last year in the finals. Their best player in the playoffs Imo.

 

[pitseleh]

Hopefully this is a sign of the where the market will be when the Canucks sell. If a bottom pairing defender is worth a third, a borderline waiver fodder young player and taking on a negative value contract, then useful players should be worth a decent amount.

 

[WTG]

Meanwhile benning trying to convince us that Higgins is unmovable. Lol

 

[geebaan]

Meanwhile benning trying to convince us that Higgins is unmovable. Lol

So much this

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

Lecavalier saying he will retire at the end of this season.

This is still a bad deal for the Kings but not one that will hamstring them beyond this season.

Still doesn't make sense, but now it makes more sense.

Alternatively... it's going to cost Benning a fortune to turn this into a playoff team!
