Around the League Thread Part II: Final Stretch

2 seconds for Dillon is lolllllll

I hope blake laughed as he hung up and called back and laughed some more on voicemail

"Dillon, you son of a bitch!"

It's a trade that will benefit both teams. Dillon and DeMelo will form a pretty solid pairing. Believe they played together in San Jose for awhile so there is familiarity.

For those that don't like the Martinez deal how would you feel about giving up assets for Nate Schmidt?

I would say no. Especially not a $5.9 million for the next 4 years. His play tailed off this past season. Sign of things to come.

He never wanted to be in Vancouver. Could be like Carter in Columbus. But I to would shy away unless there was retention.

that’s at least 3 2nd round picks Seattle passed up on (Jake Bean being the other). Looks like they’ll be active in the UFA market.

 

[YP44]

Not the way I would want the team I cheer for to do it.

 

[deeshamrock]

wow

 

[YP44]

WoW!

Also Holtby bought out

 

[YP44]

Fleury to Chicago for nothing?

Reigning Vezna winner is only worth cap savings. Come on Blake use this F'N cap space!

 

[kovacro]

Chicago must have something else lined up as they have 3 goalies signed for another year (Subban, Lankinen and Delia). Interesting trade destination for MAF.

 

[LAKings88]

Chicago going for another kick at the can. Hate that team.

Fleury found out about trade on twitter! Man when is how Vegas treats its players going to catch up with them. Their management seems pretty cut throat.

 

[deeshamrock]

Thought the NHL was going to crack down on trades for nothing. SO Vegas gets 7M off the books?? Just like that? If MAF doesn't have to report to Hawks...wow

There is a 'player' going the other way.

 

[BringTheReign]

Can anyone remember a summer crazier than this one?

All they can really do is require a contract (or draft pick) go back, and then they will give the pick crazy conditions so it never happens. Seems pointless....

 

[kovacro]

James "The Raw Deal" Neal among the buyouts before the window closes today..

 

[kovacro]

Other goalie news..

Town has no class, organization fits right in. What a bunch of pricks.

 

[KingsFan7824]

So if Fleury doesn't show, Chi gets absolutely nothing for helping Vegas out of their cap issue? What?

 

[kovacro]

Would think Vegas is in on Danault now with the cap space gained.

 

[kilowatt]

Vegas treats their players like absolute shit, yikes

 

[Bandit]

Apparently they rid themselves of a contract, but yeah that's it.

 

[The Lukeman]

So if Fleury doesn't show, Chi gets absolutely nothing for helping Vegas out of their cap issue? What?

Does anyone know if Vegas will have salary cap impact if Fleury decides to retire? I recall last year that if Carter was traded and retired, LA would have to cover his cap hit. I am not very familiar with the rule.

 

[DAkings20]

Trade him back to Pit!
