NHL Around the NHL - Offseason moves and rumblings

f*** that’s a light return for ROR. Would love him here he’s fantastic.

 

[Baddkarma]

Sabres got ripped off it seems.

Lot in quantity, not a ton of quality. I like it for St Louis. A lot of the trade rides on how Tage Thompson progresses

 

[GlenFeatherstone]

I assume part of it is St. Louis paying the bonus he is due at midnight. But an overall steal for the Blues. Adding O’ Reilly, Bozak, and Perron to their top 9 today and opening spots for Kyrou and Thomas to challenge for. Good day for them.

Even if he turns into a stud it’s more than worth it for ROR.

 

[DKH]

I know the answer but curious if anyone else does

Can you name 4 of the 6 Likely Toronto Defenseman for 2019-20

Bonus question and it pains me anf I’ll explain later

What do the 4 have in common

 

[Pia8988]

Reilly, Dermott, Zaitsev, Liljegrin. Skating.

As for St Louis. They made out pretty well.

LoL are you a Leafs fan?

Liligren struggled mightily in the AHL and has pretty much regressed for 3 straight years.

Leaf fans can hype him all they want but he’s not gunna be a solution anytime soon.

That said they have lots of pieces and options to fix the D and I’m sure they will address it.

 

[Pia8988]

He said 2019-2020. I think he'll be ready enough by that to at least be on the bottom pair.

But sure, go ahead and be a and insult people.

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

Bruins, TB and Leafs are top teams for years.

Florida had an off year but have plenty of young talented players.

Buffalo will eventually evolve to something relevant with Eichel and Dahlin as a foundation.

Detroit is rebuilding. Ottawa is a train wreck. Habs are both.

 

[Olden McGroin]

Would've liked to see him in the Black and Gold. Top end speed, great penalty killer and 20+ goal scorer

My problem with him, where would he have played?

He's not good enough for DK and he shouldn't bump Backes or Heinen on the 3rd

 

[missingchicklet]

Holy cow.

Great deal for the Blues. They have seriously upgraded their team with their moves, have kept plenty of good prospects, and shed some salary of players they needed to move to boot.

I wouldn't have matched the three years, though...

 

[Alberta_OReilly_Fan]

He has basically averaged 30 goals a year the last 6 seasons.

He's getting the same money and less term than a far less proven player IMO in Evander Kane.

The Marchand and Pasta deals are great, but 7 million per over 5 for JVR is pretty fair IMO for the production he's done.

its true if you find the most stupid contracts in the nhl and use them as a bench mark to sign new deals then its pretty damn fair for everyone concerned

thank god I cheer for a team that doesn't do that though

 

[Gee Wally]

Best wishes to all around great guy Tommy Cross.

Tommy Cross signs with Columbus Blue Jackets

 

[Gee Wally]

Leafs just traded Matt Martin to Isles.

Yeah, you read that right.

 

[Gee Wally]

 

[Troublesome 85]

LOL

like 2-3 years ago Martin to the Leafs was a big deal and now........................hes gone

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Lou is senile as f***. Nice trade. Take their 13th forward they were dying to get rid of without any retention. Frees up what, 2M in space?

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

So either Lou should be getting Nylander for a very favorable return at some point, or there is some stinky collusion going on.

 

[JadedLeaf]

Lou is senile as ****. Nice trade. Take their 13th forward they were dying to get rid of without any retention. Frees up what, 2M in space?

2.5. Leafs just paid his bonus which takes care of most of the "real" money that's owed to him.

Still terrible for the Islanders to be helping Toronto out like that. What a gimme.

I'm just as confused by it as you are. I figured Dubas would have to give something up to get rid of that contract.

 

[BruinDust]

Well Lou signed him to that contract in Toronto.

Probably as simple as Lou sees value in the player that Babcock and Dubas don't.

I know that is hard for the capologists on HF Boards to understand.
