NHL Around the NHL - Offseason moves and rumblings

[Pia8988]

and people are saying lucic at half retained wouldn't have a lot of value

this contract isn't quite as bad as the bickell deal a few years back or the clarksson deal... but it will end the same way those ones did

No it wont. It is two years. Vegas has over 28 million in cap space and almost 46 million next season. It isn’t remotely comparable to Bickell or Clarkson.

That is a whole lot of money for Ryan Reaves.

That is crazy money for Reaves. Good for him though.

My brother in law is Frank Serevalle, close enough,no?

 

[N o o d l e s]

Gonna be like a time warp seeing JVR in black and orange

My mind is blown. You have got to be kidding me. I guess they have money to spend, but dang surely they could have reached an agreement for less than that. Absolutely insane money for him. Shit is getting nutty.

 

[missingchicklet]

Almost $3M for a guy you ideally play on the 4th line.

He has never broken 10 mins ATOI in his career. 51 pts combined in 8 seasons, including only 10 last season. Yeah, he's tough,but he is actually not anything great defensively. Bizarro world when a guy like that gets $2.775 per for 2 seasons. I get that they have plenty of cap space, but that's still an awful use of resources.

 

[bruinmann77]

yes FA is really going to be crazy

 

[N o o d l e s]

I’m expecting to know when Tavares has signed somewhere when 504 Error makes is glorious return.

 

[Olden McGroin]

If true, JVR made out like a bandit

 

[N o o d l e s]

I minute until Tavares is a Leaf, huh?

I personally hope he goes to SJS.

 

[bruinmann77]

yes anywhere but TOR JT

 

[Alicat]

I feel bad for Islander fans

 

[N o o d l e s]

I feel bad for Islander fans

I’m gonna feel bad for us when he’s a Leaf

 

[JOKER 192]

I would guess he's not going back to NYI at this point. Is that safe to say?

 

[Olden McGroin]

I would guess he's not going back to NYI at this point. Is that safe to say?

I'd say so, if it was me I wouldn't return to that tire fire. Isles certainly didn't do much in his time there

[N o o d l e s]

Austin Czarnik just signed with the Flanes, as well.

 

[GlenFeatherstone]

I can’t tell if I’ve drank too much or if GMs in the league did. Or both. Probably both. Self assessment.

 

[Gordoff]

Gotta wonder if the Bruins were one of the teams interested but when he signed with Cal they then signed Wagner?
Edit: Just saw his =/- nevermind. Well, at least Wagner is a hammer. Question is this: Is he a Greg Campbell type of signing or a Zac Rinaldo kind of guy? Only time will tell but it feels like Cams influence on this signing.

 

[KrejciMVP]

might not be the worst thing in the world for the Islanders to avoid that max deal.

 

[Roll 4 Lines]

That is crazy money for Reaves. Good for him though.

Yep. I'll gladly take Chris Wagner at half the cost!

 

[TCB]

might not be the worst thing in the world for the Islanders to avoid that max deal.

The problem lies with Snow letting Tavares walk for nothing.

Lessen I'm mistaken, they offered 8 years at 11 per? I'd hardly call that letting him walk for nothing.
