Non-Minnesota NHL News XII

[Jarick]

Shouldn't have rushed him to the NHL.

Good little article on buyouys.

This does nothing but re-enforce the idea that it's a big gamble to draft Russian players.

Burmistrov leaves Jets....signs with KHL.

Or any European player. Burmistrov had the opportunity because of how strong the KHL is.

Atlanta/Winnipeg handled him like ****. If they would have done with him what they're doing with Scheifele (I know, different ownership for the first year), he'd be a pretty good second line center right now, at least. Not to mention they gave him bottom six minutes the entire three years he was with the team. I'd leave for the KHL too.

Hell, if Switzerland could pay Nino as much as the KHL pays it's players, I bet you Nino would have tried to use Switzerland as a bargaining chip. I don't blame Burmistrov for leaving.

Hell I'd give Winnipeg a 4th round pick or Graovac for Burmistrov. We like 2010 picks LOL.

I know it was probably half a joke, and Winnipeg wouldn't take a 4th for him if it wasn't, but I'd do it in a heartbeat. Let him develop in the KHL for two years, he'll come back and be a good player, I promise. He's just upset with the Jets organization and coach because they didn't treat him well.

 

[forthewild]

I wish we could have traded for him with Seto, dunno about the value but with him now bolting to KHL it must not have been high.

Yeah he got handled like **** tho, big time. I remember Wild were high on him according to russo, too bad now.

 

[thestonedkoala]

Neiderreiter - Burmistrov - Coyle
Zucker - Granlund - Bulmer

Hahahah! The 2010 top 6!

 

[thestonedkoala]

MPS + 2nd for David Perron.

Good trade for both teams.

 

[Vashanesh]

MPS + 2nd for David Perron.

Good trade for both teams.

If Perron can stay healthy, that's a hell of a deal for Edmonton, but has some risk.

That guy is one of the best pure puck-handlers I've seen aside from Datsyuk. And he should have plenty of targets to pass to in that top-6.

 

[Jarick]

I'm a huge Perron fan. I think that's a big win for Edmonton.

 

[Victorious Secret]

Why did St. Louis do this trade?

 

[Vashanesh]

Why did St. Louis do this trade?

Couple reasons I can think of.

Cap space?
They see something in MPS (size?)
Perron wasn't happy/they weren't happy with him (injuries?)

 

[Jarick]

According to Puck Daddy, to free up cap space.

 

[MuckOG]

Why did St. Louis do this trade?

Cap space, pure and simple. They still need to sign Alex Pietrangelo and Chris Stewart.

 

[Randy BoBandy]

They needed cap space to sign Pietrangelo I think.

But yea Edmonton just a got a lot better this offseason.

I think Edmonton wins that trade pretty easily.

 

[AKL]

Eddy still needs defense/goaltending if they want to intimidate anyone. can't win every game 8-7.

 

[Billy Mays Here*]

Edmonton may have gotten the better player, but again, it's a case of them adding another small forward who will get pushed around. They have no size in their top 9. Hall is about the only one who can hold his own.

 

[Engebretson]

Well, at least Perron's not in our division anymore

 

[Ban Hammered]

Alzner gets 4 years 11.2 million.

 

[INTOTHEVOID]

Extremely happy that Perron is now in Eddy!

 

[Ban Hammered]

Zids gets a 1 year deal from NJ.

it's not like MPS was anything close to physical.
total upgrade for the Oil, and fist pump for the Wilds' sake. There's a reason MPS has been a part of every single friggin trade proposal to come out of Oiler fans' IPs.

 

[Ban Hammered]

Falk signed by the Rangers. 1 yr, $975,000.
Zids gets 3 mil for the one year

 

[TaLoN]

So Boston signs Rask for 8yrs $56m?!?

Keep the cap tied up in the skaters out front! They can have'em!
