NHL Around the NHL - Regular Season 2017-18

[Bread and Circuses]

Montreal signed Drouin, but are somehow a lot worse than they were last season. I swear to god if they tank and draft Dahlin i quit.

Never gonna happen, be happy they appear to be striving for over confident mediocre purgatory.

We all know this place too well, let's hope we are over the hump as they struggle to reach the summit.

Don't think anyone has mentioned it, but Jumbo returning to SJ for $8m (1 year)...

I mean, if they're not going to use the cap space, it's fine, but jeesh... Going away present, much?

He and Marleau are likely the biggest winners of the Free Agent Frenzy.

Let's hope our Bruins don't feel as nostalgic when it comes time to re-up big Z!

Man the habs board after Radulov left is just amazing. The salt is just flowing.

Yakupov is now an Avalanche.

I get that Kruger is slightly overpaid and may not fit the cap(which is again DS fault), but why wouldn't you give a late round pick for him? Really solid bottom 6 guy.

He puts up less then 20 points a year....and makes over $3mill. Vegas should be happy they were able to get rid of him.

Also, we dont need our bottom 6 players making over $3mill each.

Carolina - Another team that loves Chicago players lol

I still can't believe that #. A real hometown discount.

Just more game-breaking talent to an Avs team loaded with it.

Agreed. The B's have PLENTY of good Bottom 6 players and they all make a lot less than Kruger (except Beleskey ).

So annoying, Burakovsky would have been sweet here if they couldn't sign him. Must mean someone else at the Caps is on their way out.

Boy are they up against the cap, I ran a Cap Friendly sim and after re-signing Grubauer for 2.0 per, I filled out the rest of the roster with guys between 600-700k, and still only ended up with 250k in cap space.

Just looking at their roster, you have to think Lars Eller is not long for Washington, seems like the most logical contract to move (good luck shedding Orpik's deal).

Caps should fire Trotz, trade Ovechkin and re-build

If the B's moved Spooner, I think Eller would be a good fit in Boston.

Spooner to ARI for Reider.

Pick/prospect to WAS for Eller.

Reider goes on either Bergeron's or Krejci's wing. Actually if you acquired Reider and did that, Backes could go to C and you don't need Eller

I wouldn't mind buying low on Eller, they sold low on Johansson. Eller came into Washington for two 2nds so the price to get him out of a Caps team with salary problems should be lower than that. He's a UFA next summer so the Bruins wouldn't be a long-term commitment.

Then move on from Spooner one way or another. Recoup a pick to replace the pick they would send to Washington to bring in Eller by dealing Spooner.

A 2nd to Washington for Eller, then try and pry a 2nd out of another team for Spooner.

At least they would get a natural C in Eller as oppose to Spooner who is just a C in his own mind.

you do realize Edmonton is the one who bombed on Tobias Rieder, and gave him away to Arizona, and I'll bet he terrorized Providence

I'm just glad Radulov is out of Montreal!

This offseason is dragging too slow!

Edmonton will be holding a press conference at 3pm ET. More than likely they will be announcing McDavid's extension, which is now rumored to be a slightly lower AAV than has been reported in the past few days.

I heard 13.5 a year, which is 17.7% of the cap. While it sounds crazy, when Chara signed his 7.5m a year deal with Boston, it was 17.1% of the cap.
