Around the NHL: Part XVI - Born on the First of July

Actually, it's quite clever for Point. He signs for 3y, on a backloaded contract, can sign a really high QO for his final RFA year and then test the market in free agency. This deal is better for Point long term than it is for Tampa. It's nice to see players finally figuring out the CBA.

It's brilliant.

I don’t know how I made it this far without knowing what Jack Edwards looked like, but now that I do it all makes a lot of sense

Vesey is like a curse in a horror movie. The only way to end it is to pass him along to another team.

The Peg and the BJs look royally ****ed ... bottom 3 teams imo.

Peg will make playoffs again.

How is it possible that Vesey has already disappointed Sabres fans?

Vesey is dairy-free vanilla ice cream.

He used to be an anchor on Sportscenter. He was actually likeable then...times have changed.

Will be very interesting. The central could be a quite the challenge this season.

Not sure if they take the division but they'll make playoffs. D is an issue but that offense is legit.

I had seen plenty of the guy to know he's total rubbish, and acquiring him was yet another reason I consider Botts the worst GM in the entire sports. There are still some of our fans who think he will be good, most are the same people saying last year that Sobotka was nowhere near as bad as people like me were saying. And they were actually right: he was even worse than I thought it would be.

Winnipeg's roster right now without Byfuglien/Laine/Connor is a lottery team.

Laine and Connor will sign.

Laine and Connor will sign.

tbh, Laine gives me doubt.

seems like kind of a brat

I think he will end up signing, but of all the remaining players he would be the one I'm most skeptical about.

Rangers for Namestnikov one can dream right

Is Justin Faulk still good? I feel like the last few times I watched him, he didn't look like the guy he had been over the past few years.

in my opinion he just needs a fresh start. how would a player feel about hearing their name in trade rumors for a few years while nothing happens? im sure it takes its toll on the player

He would make sense for the Jets. They could use a RHD.

I think Faulk is the type of player that desperately needs a change of scenery.
