Around The NHL #6 - All About The Teams Not Ours.

[ParisSaintGermain]

Vinnie H to the Panthers

 

[_Del_]

They need LD. Oesterle maybe.

They need immediate on both sides, imo.

 

[XX]

They need immediate on both sides, imo.

They have Bouchard, Larsson and Bear on the right. Russell plays both sides. Need a 2LD to keep Jones down.

 

[_Del_]

Larsson is fine, but he's a durability question mark. I wouldn't want to trust Bear with big minutes, and Bouchard only has a cup of coffee in the league to date. Looks like a disaster in the making on the right side to me.

Left side is Klefbom and Nurse, both are good players but should probably be on your second pairing, and Klef is injured for most/all of the season. Jones is still playing his way into finding himself, but is and will be a good player. Russel is a reliable plug for the third pairing that you can move around.

There's nothing wrong with having any of those guys on a roster, but you're supposed to be assembling a championship team when you've got McDrai up front. It's pretty underwhelming, imo.

That TJ Brodie signing up in Toronto was a good one.

 

[TheLegend]

TJ Brodie to Toronto 4x5.

 

[Mosby]

Didn't Hino basically call Coach Q an asshole as his coach in Chicago? Weird to reunite in Florida.

 

[TheLegend]

Cam Talbot to MIN.... 3x 3.6667M AAV

 

[Mosby]

Toronto is over the cap now.

Their middle 6 is super shallow and they score 20% more than the Coyotes. Just trying to put himself in a better position for another deal.

 

[Mosby]

Sticky Nicky to Nashville, 2 years, 1.5 mil per

 

[_Del_]

Almost everyone left is in the category of wait until they realize roster spots are filling up and get desperate territory anyway.

 

[Mosby]

All the goalies available this summer and Calgary gives Markstrom the Mike Smith contract. You'd think Treliving/Maloney would have learned.

 

[Jakey53]

I don't see a comment about a business in the sports and entertainment field as empty. There are real financial issues facing this area.

Correct, and it runs much deeper than most expect.

 

[RABBIT]

Happy for Vin, hopefully he finds his groove. He’s a good person

 

[Jamieh]

Krug to the Blues.

 

[RABBIT]

Krug to the Blues.

good signing, all signs point to AP going to the Knights

 

[RABBIT]

Maybe the Bruins circle back to OEL

 

[TheLegend]

Krug to the Blues.

 

[Jamieh]

I think the Blues are heading in the wrong direction.

 

[TheLegend]

LeBrun tweeted BOS didn’t even make Krug an offer.

 

[CLW]

Maybe the Bruins circle back to OEL

Maybe. There's still Pietrangelo, but Vegas wants him too and he should be the most expensive out of them.

There will probably be a bidding war for Barrie now between the Flames, Canucks and Oilers

 

[TheLegend]

LeBrun tweeted BOS didn’t even make Krug an offer.

UPDATE: That was today. Friedman reported BOS apparently had a 6x6.6 offer out there before today.

 

[TheLegend]

BTW...... Anyone noticed there’s been zero talk on Taylor Hall so far??

 

[rt]

BTW...... Anyone noticed there’s been zero talk on Taylor Hall so far??

There was on NHLN. They said that his agent relayed he wants to go slow and take his time and he’s in no rush and he won’t make any decisions on anything until next week at the earliest.

Or something to that effect.
