Proposal: Free agency edition Trade Rumours/Proposals [MOD - Stay on Topic] 5

[Burrowsaurus]

There is absolutely no way Tanev chooses this team. He'll pick a cup contender or playoff bound club for sure. Most likely Vancouver.

Toffoli probably signs with the highest bidder, likely a US based team.

Ullmark is a good idea but if the rumored ask is remotely true, I'm not sure that's a move we should make. I question whether his performances are a reflection of one of the best defensives systems in the NHL.

Friedman specifically mentioned us on tanev. If there was no way he would sign I don’t think our name would be mentioned.

Toffoli played his junior hockey here and has played on three different Canadian teams. He doesn’t have an issue with it.

Yeah the price is high on ullmark. Cest la vie.

On another note anyone else hear that CapFreindly could be closing up shop, something to do with the NHL saying they are releasing private info. Haven't heard much about it & that would be unfortunate given it's a great source for us. Anyone know more about this?

 

[benjiv1]

Not sure if anyone else mentioned it, but Korpi legitimately might need glasses or laser eye, and is being told to get refitted for his helmet.

Like Andlauer and Staios are pissed about it.

Was a really off the cuff comment that got passed along, but legitimate frustration it sounds like.

Washington capitals bought the site.

Wouldn't this be a standard part of a yearly physical at camp?

Question(s):

1. What does needing glasses or laser eye have to do with getting his helmet refitted?
2. Why are they pissed about it, was the need for glasses hidden from us when we signed him, like, if anything that might be a good thing since if we fix his eyes, maybe he's competent

And on a more general level, ya that adds up, he played like he couldn't see the puck on some of the shots from far out...

Man, I’m not sure if I ever said it here but all last season I kept thinking that his helmet is way too far down on his forehead and I had a feeling it was blocking his vision or distracting him or something.

 

[aragorn]

Washington capitals bought the site.

Is that what happened? And what are they doing with it, using it for themselves? Will it be open or closed to us? I still use it.

Didn’t the Washington Capitals just finalize a deal to acquire CapFriendly or am I mistaken?

Edit: what Mickelbot said

What does that mean though, are they using it for their own purposes & closing shop to us or will we still be able to use it?

 

[Hale The Villain]

So Korpisalo has been playing with nearsightedness and with an illfitting helmet this entire time?

Would be one explanation for the excessive number of goals from the point he let in last season.

Maybe the tight helmet was cutting off the blood flow to his eyes.

Won’t be available after, early July.
It’s not clear, why they are doing it, there are some underlying features we’re not aware of, maybe they want those, maybe they want to take it away from other teams.

Can’t wait to see him in net next year with big plastic frames.

It will be closed off after the draft/UFA period. You can get some of the info from Puckpedia and I'm sure eventually someone will build a replacement site just like when General fanager and Capgeek went offline.

I included a laugh emoji because this may be peak sens absurdity.

Good god.

Caps announce agreement to buy CapFriendly site

The Washington Capitals reached a deal to buy CapFriendly, a popular site that has long been a source of NHL salary information and will soon no longer be available to other teams or fans.

I didn't realize we were losing it. That sucks.

We lost it a long time ago.



See what I did there? Lost it? CraZy!

 

[The Waffler]

My guess is that they’ll keep it as their own private salary database and keep it updated internally. It’s strange but that’s the only thing that makes sense to me. I doubt they would spend that money not to privatize it.

Worked for the Charlestown Chiefs

That's hilarious. Guy can't see, and his helmet is flopping over his eyes.

Maybe he will stop more pucks if he can see them coming...

The worst part about this is well get his laser eye surgery, he'll get dumped in a some deal that bends us over, then he'll clown the league as the next Tim Thomas late bloomer...
