Around the NHL: Free Agent Frenzy begins July 1 at noon

They didn't terminate Stoll, so I can't see how the LAK can justify they way the handled Richards.

Stoll is a UFA. They can just say they were moving on from the player.

It's going to be interesting whether they terminate Voynov's contract. He's charged with felony domestic violence, and, from reports, it sounds like there's substantial evidence against him. Regardless of whether Voynov reaches a plea deal, the Kings probably don't have to meet the criminal BRD standard to determine that he violated that provision of the SPC by (allegedly) beating the hell out of his wife.

I'd sign him to that. Three years is reasonable. It'd also assuage some the worries of the "ZOMG Reinhart/Eichel extension in three years" crowd.

The NHL and NHLPA have a collectively bargained Drug Policy which calls for treatment protocols. This will likely be relied on by NHLPA.

Yeah, what a bunch of crap. I don't know the details of Richards, but I would have to think that other players have done a lot worse and are kept because they help their team win. Look at Ribiero's legal trouble, then bought out by Dallas, but will be rewarded with a rich contract as a UFA tomorrow.

Beauchemin at 3 years for $5M is a PERFECT fit.

AZ gets an old favorite back, the kids in the north get some sheltering. I like this deal for Edmonton, although given that it was a zero-sum game in terms of defensive forwards, I expect Korpedo to end up way too high up their lineup.

This offseason is super duper fun already. I'm loving the return of actual hockey trades.

It's a year too long given the ludicrous amount of tread on his tires.

Front load it and buy it out after 2 years #pegulabucks

I've been thinking this all spring------> 2 years (more likely 3) for $5M !

I know that teams are not allowed to talk about money right now, but I wouldn't be surprised if Beauchemin's agent knows that a teams will pay him the $5M for 3 years. I wouldn't be surprised if that team is Buffalo.

Are there usually this many regular buyouts?

I disagree. Babcock's return aircraft was DPJ626, and pulling that bookmark up now, that says it landed in Denver six hours ago. I wonder why that could be. O o o o o something...

The Hamilton trade was quesionable. But the return for Lucic was pretty good for a guy that was pretty much done in BOS.

Why would Johnny Oduya be in Denver?
