Around the League Thread Part II: Final Stretch

[LAKings88]

Fine bottom pairing guy for Carolina.

Good pick up.

 

[SettlementRichie10]

I expect nothing and still feel I'll wind up disappointed.

 

[LAKings88]

Good tank commander goalie for the Yotes' especially if they move Kuemper.

Smells like Shane Wright

[kovacro]

So they're trading Vanecek? They signed Driedger.

Colorado, you know you want Quick.

Ok then.

[deeshamrock]

Vanacek will go to the Caps.

[Reclamation Project]

[HookKing]

Gross..

Yeah, and Blake is asleep.

 

[YP44]

edler two years 3.5 per.
Not the guy I wanted but don't mind that deal at all

 

[deeshamrock]

Good pickup by the Bruins to patch the hole on the bottom 6. Haula is a good fit.

5.5 AAV is not bad at all for a 40-50 point guy with his level of defense. He'll be 34 at the end, so that's not great but not terrible either. From a pure cap standpoint, I don't hate it. How's that for noncommittal?

Put it this way, when Stoll signed his first Kings deal it was very close to the cap percentage as this one, and they are pretty comparable. It does take away a spot so I think moving some of our center prospects for defense becomes far more likely now, which I view as a positive. We know now if Byfield makes the team it wasn't handed to him, and I think it also sends a similar message to the other prospects about how they need to take it to the next level to earn their way up.

I'd like to see the contract structure before judging too much, if a lot of the salary is paid up front, he would be easier to move later if a player forces his way up.

Nashville signs Matt Luff (1-year @ $750k)

 

[YP44]

So seatlle passes on both Columbus goaltenders, and Max Domi. Select some guy from the BJs who they do not sign, and now signs with Columbus.

Columbus had one some of the best players available to Seattle, they passed on those guys and got nothing from columbus. What the hell is Francis doing?

 

[YP44]

Lewis to Calgary. Ryan replacement

 

[kingsfan28]

With Jones signing in Philly, count on at least 3 more wins next season.

 

[YP44]

Point gets paid...deserves it though

With Point's 9.5 million on the books Bolts will only $3.4 million cap space for next year minus a backup goalie... Point is $$$ though.
