Around the NHL: Bylsma extended 2 years

[NYR Viper]

Aren't they barely above the cap floor anyways? or is he dead set on multiple years at a stupid high price?

5+ million for 4 years. He is over 35 so it would be a 35+ contract.

 

[The Gloaming]

Streit will solve the Flyers' PMD issues!

Please give him 5.5 over 6 years, Flyers. Please.

 

[GAGLine]

If they sign Streit, it's less likely they'd think about an offer sheet for McD.

Probably a stupid price

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if Holmgren hand him a silly offer like that if a smart trade or something not so crazy doesn't go through.

But then again, our own man isn't much better.

Edit: So he has actually traded for his rights already. Wow.

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

If they lock up Streit I'm guessing they won't try for Yandle then

I think they do both. If they sign Streit, they have an abundance of d.

Timmoen
Schenn
Grossman
Coburn
Mezsaros
Streit
Gustafsson
Gervais
Bourdon

I expect the Flyers to be very busy this off-season as they need a couple of puck-movers on the back-end

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Thank god we passed on Saad.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Flyers still lack someone that can actually play D on the back line.

 

[Kershaw]

Hilarious. Mark Streit is a shell of himself ever since that injury he suffered at training camp. Mediocre skater and gets beaten badly on opposing forecheck. He was a sheltered ES defender for the freaking Islanders. Hopefully Holmer pulls a Sather and signs him or 6 yrs at 6mil per or something crazy of that ilk.

He wasn't that sheltered.

I'm pretty sure the Rangers have arbitration right for McD so an offer sheet won't be an issue. The Rangers can decide on July 5th they are taking McD and Hagelin to arbitration.

McD should be getting anything he asks for, within reasoning of course

 

[Clown Fiesta]

McD wouldn't sign an offer sheet.

Bettman/Daly say #NHL estimates it will make more than 58% of projected revenues even tho they only played 58% of their schedule

Wow.

Wow.

So that means a higher ceiling eventually. Yay.

I don't think the Rangers are going to have any trouble signing Hagelin--McD will be harder, he's really developed into a mainstay on the blueline in the last two seasons. But, I'm sure a deal will be worked out, it's just a question of how many years: the money will flow regardless.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

the entire pregame discussion has just been a collective ass-kissing of Chara.

 

[Clowes Line]

WTF is with Jagr's beard? Not only does it look stupid, but you're not supposed to shave a playoff beard...

 

[silverfish]

LETS GO JAGR!

Rooting for Jagr is NOT the same as rooting for the Bruins.

trim != shave

 

[Net Front Presence]

Rooting for the Hawks heavy.

I agree with this guy.

Let's BLACKHAWKS everybody!

 

[OrbitalDynamics]

On board the Blackhawk bandwagon.
