Around The NHL Part XXX

[Ghost of jas]

Honestly, it is confusing with all the trades that are made on draft day and at the deadline, especially when you get to the later rounds

In my defense, the extra 4th allowed Gorton an added asset to make the deal, which is why adding picks is always a good thing.

LOL Hoffman signed a PTO with STL. He's over there like "hey Vancouver, I ain't waiting no more. Get that contract to my agent"

Dach potentially missing the entire season.

Dach potentially missing the entire season.

Guess Chicago needs a "proven veteran center" to take over for Dach.

Strome for Strome let's gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

It's amazing how many times we hear about these deals where you can "flip him at the deadline" and it basically never happens as intended.

They are not getting him at a steep discount (in terms of assets). It's arguable if he's even worth a second. He's a defensive third line center these days.

Barring a complete meltdown, he’ll likely land a second or a third. He’s not the player he was 3 or 4 years ago, but he’s probably better then the numbers he posted the last two years in Arizona.

He wasn’t Ottawa’s first choice though.

Ryan Strome?

So when does Camp start?

 

[Edge]

Ryan Strome?

He was in the conversation for sure at one point.

Supposedly they also hoped maybe they could convince Thornton to join them (that dream died quickly).

They also sent out feelers to some of this year's free agents, but didn't have any meaningful advances.

Wild stuff with Toews.

What a brutal week for Chicago.

I’m sure they’d rather not have injuries to their top guys but they’re rebuilding now no?

They’ll get a nice pick if Toews and Dach are out

12/31 for the 7 teams that didn't play in august...1/3 for everyone else

Yeah Even with Toews and Dach I dont think they would have been that good. That goaltending is a big question mark and they weren't good defensively to begin with. I was kind of surprised they beat Edmonton but that goes to show you the issues Edmonton has.

Will Kane stick it out in Chicago through rebuild? He’s no spring chicken and got to look what happens 3 / 4 seasons down the road.

As good as he is, tough contract to move in this current economic climate.

 

[JimmyG89]

Callahan officially retired.

 

[Ruggs225]

Sad to see the official end of two of my favorite rangers. Cally and Lundy.

 

[LORDE]

I thought Cally had retired already.

He was a good, hard player, great Captain and really nice and grateful in person.

Best of luck Cally!

 

[Fugazy]

Figured Callahan would hang them up soon. Best of luck in retirement!

Wow @ Chicago. Chicago Med, Chicago Fire, take your pick.

Chicago PD.

Wow. I thought he'd re-sign in Boston or retire. Crazy.
