Around the NHL: Post-Draft and Free Agent Frenzy

[KiwiGriff]

It absolutely does not feel like Jokiharju has been around long enough to have played nearly 350 games.

I know. That was probably the biggest surprise for me. He obviously had games in Chicago but it's crazy to see how many he already has under his belt in total.

Mightve been posted here already. It's really nice time see that no Sabres are at the top of the list anymore, just some rando's in other teams

Scratch TK off the list of trade targets.

At least it isn’t $10M.

Posting here because I don't have hockey prospect nerd friends irl:

Sitting next to Rutger McGroarty in the Detroit airport. Thought about putting in a good word for the Sabres for a split second...

Don Waddell on Laine trade talks: 'He would like a fresh start someplace' | TSN

Columbus Blue Jackets general manager Don Waddell confirmed Thursday that the team will continue to explore potential trades for Patrik Laine, but a move is not guaranteed.

www.tsn.ca

"His progress I keep hearing is very positive that he's going to be out of the program," Waddell told First Up on TSN 1050 Thursday. "Unfortunately, as the team, you don't get much information from doctors. I get most of my information from the agent so I've got to take it first hand that he knows the situation because he talks to Patrik.


"Patrik's made it clear that, even before all the changes this summer, he would like a fresh start someplace. We will look at it when the time comes - which hopefully is very soon - all the options. Now, I can't rule out any options, even returning here because it takes two teams to make a trade and if there's not a trade that makes any sense to us, then we have to just deal with what reality is.

"[Laine's agent] Andy Scott told him multiple times that we will make sure we look at everything and know the situation, and we know Patrik's feelings and we can find the right fit, certainly we will do that. But, if not, we'll have to just deal with it."

Sometimes I think this subforum can get pretty bad. But then I see threads like this and realize maybe you morons aren’t so bad after all

Does Marner get Boo’d?

When we play at home style games (Ottawa included), does Marner hear the boo birds? I think so, fans are tired of him. If he digs in his heels and decides he doesn’t want to leave, do we as fans let him hear it? Discuss.

I am reminded of something Ole Anderson once said to Jim Cornette: "Jim, I used to think you were a dumb f*** but so many other dumb f***s have come around since that you moved up the ladder without even trying."

It was in Buffalo

It was in Buffalo

The reports on his initial ask from the Flyers was 10M.

 

[HaNotsri]

Well, he’s got a position above Stan Bowman in Edmonton so I don’t think that’s gonna ever happen.

Ah, I obviously didn't know. Maybe we can offer him the role of supreme ceo and a room in the yacht then?

Edit: If he was involved in hiring Bowman I'd rather not. Blergh.

This makes every Sabres deal look amazing to me. Dahlin only makes 2.5 more than Faber after his one half of a great year followed by half of a bad one? Amazing! Power makes less now? Amazing! Every single forward makes (at least) more than a million less? Amazing! Our goalie pair no matter who it is make over 2.5 less? Amazing!

I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastically optimistic or not.
