Around the League 39: Will Kessel Sign in Winnipeg? The World Waits with Dogged Breath!

Could be. Also could be a Haydn Fleury situation where we passed on Nylander and Ehlers who ended up being far superior players. That’s part of what I love about the draft. You just never know.

Hfboards and twitter know.

The next 10+ pages are Habs fans at their absolute finest.

... didn't we offer sheet the previous guy who was seen as a massive 1st round pick failure by some Habs fans?

Man, that thread needed a NSFW tag. Whew...

the one fan was right. 3 picks in the top 37 of this draft and all they got was Newhook and Reinbacker. Pretty bad start for that group to this off-season.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

are we going to get our first domino of the day with SJS getting Tyler Myers in a cap dump deal?

 

[Svechhammer]

Reinbacker is gonna look good in a Canes sweater in a few years

How long before we can OS Reinbacher?

Or our 2010 draft thread. My excuse was I was under the influence of alcohol at the time.

Same. My wife was watching with me and they showed him figure skating and she was like ooooo I hope they pick him! Then they did. And as usual she was right and I was wrong.

Ask her for some notes on our draft this year.

Hawks are doing a decent job of getting okay vets to play around Bedard but also still be bad. And they're either getting assets with the trades or will be able to trade those guys later. Well done.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

2 FC trades so far. fairly meh so far.

That was the thought that hit me. Totally uninformed on my part, just a feeling.

This was my favorite post from a habs fan, lol:

We can do it right after his ELC.

Yamamoto and Kostin for nothing is a weird one.

With our cap space for this year only, that might be something I'd have considered... Yamamoto for 3rd line/2nd PP, Kostin for a little skill from the 4th line in a Noesen-y role? No cap commitments past this year where we have more cap than we'll probably use.

 

[chaz4hockey]

Perry traded to Black Hawks....they are this year's dumping ground (got Bailey too with a 2nd and then bought him out.....I wonder if the Borg considered that move?)

Meh. I would have been very mildly interested in Kostin, but these are the types that a mid team like Detroit needs more of. Not really us.

We get smaller on the winger would be fun to hear about during the playoffs

But what are they going to trade us for Pesce now?

 

[MinJaBen]

Wheeler buyout is officially happening now. Wonder if we will be interested?

I'd take him for $1M 4th line winger/vet!!!

Yamamoto just bought out by the red wings.

Yamamoto just bought out by the red wings.

Kostin was the get for Detroit and the Yamamoto buyout was extremely cheap. I wonder why Edmonton needed that small amount of cap space so much that they needed to give up Kostin to do so...

Lebrun Athletic article LeBrun rumblings: Buzz from the NHL Draft on Killorn, Nylander, Hanifin, Karlsson and more re: updates on Bolts, Nylander, Hanifin with following statement re: Nylander: "The other reality is that though it sounds good on paper to simply trade Nylander if they can’t sign him, look at what’s transpiring around the NHL right now, as far as teams’ not being able to move money"
