I’m excited about this. Goalies have been a bit of a shot in the dark recently, keeping trying to get guys that show some promise and hope one of them breaks out big

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Have fun, dipshit

What a joke

 

[Bender]

f*** it, let’s go big. Trade Mikko for Brady, save a million to help keep Drouin. Won’t happen but I’d welcome that trade. Love Mikko, but he’s just turned into a floater.

Yup, I agree.

I don't know if anyone else caught it but yesterday during day 2 of the draft they interviewed CMac on sportsnet after the Nabokov pick and asked him a bunch of questions. At one point, they asked about free agency and the fact that they can re-sign Rantanen on July 1st and his response was kind of interesting.

He seemed to be taken aback a little bit by the question and then kind of regurgitated a bit of a made-up answer.. Something like "well, we're definitely going to check-in with his agent here in the next couple of days..."

Just thought it was weird because in my mind, that part would have been done a long time ago.

I'm still holding out hope that he makes the right call and moves him out to get a big-time haul back as well as lots of cap-space or a player like B.Tkachuk.

Next 24 hours will be wild and fun for all teams except the Avs. How unfortunate. Even the loser Leafs with the loser core 4 have more room to make fun moves.

 

[Balthazar]

Colton's NTC kicks in in less than 8 hours

 

[Peter Peckerwood]

Our first 2 signings of tomorrow(and last):

 

[Drury_Sakic]

Domi contract somewhat of a comparable for Drouin?

2 wingers who have been up and down over their careers who found a place they fit -- and both teams have cap issues.

 

[LOFIN]

Colton's NTC kicks in in less than 8 hours

Didn't remember that. Do we know what kind of NTC it is?

Avs will sign him and he will hit the potential he was originally believed to have, forming a dominant pairing with Cale and known throughout the league as the Calgary Salad pairing

 

[Balthazar]

I'm expecting literally nothing this offseason outside of signing pure crap players to fill up roster spots for dirt cheap

Yet I still have the feeling I'll be disappointed.

 

[Balthazar]

Didn't remember that. Do we know what kind of NTC it is?

It's a full NTC and it starts at midnight EDT.

They could still pull a Rangers and put his ass on waivers but we'd get nothing in return and if he's unclaimed it gets pretty awkward to say the least.

 

[Ceremony]

Colton has a no trade clause????? Fire the dunce who gave him that immediately.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Do you guys expect Colton to be moved or was this a BS rumor?

 

[BaconNater]

When do you think it's sealed that Drouin isn't coming back?

 

[LOFIN]

It's a full NTC and it starts at midnight EDT.

Based on what? CapFriendly doesn't have the details

 

[EdAVSfan]

When do you think it's sealed that Drouin isn't coming back?

When he signs with a different team

 

[Balthazar]

Based on what? CapFriendly doesn't have the details

What do you mean based on what? What details?

These clauses start on July 1st and he has a full NTC next season per Capfriendly.

 

[BaconNater]

When he signs with a different team

Lol yeah stupid question, I was trying to he dramatic for today

 

[LOFIN]

What do you mean based on what? What details?

These clauses start on July 1st and he has a full NTC next season per Capfriendly.

Yeah, by bad for misreading the site.

Well, we still have what, a bit under 8 hours?

 

[Frenchy]

Yup, I agree.

My friend you will have to stop teasing me like this . I can't take it anymore .
B.Tkachuk, is one of my favorite player and the perfect prototype that every winning team should have on their roster .

 

[BobRossColton]

Yup, I agree.

I noticed this with his response too. Seemed like he was almost unaware that his contract has 1 year left

I think you're confusing this FO for Tampa's

 

[Ceremony]

When do you think it's sealed that Drouin isn't coming back?

When he's pictured holding up his Blackhawks jersey.

To no one's surprise
