Voynov returning to Russia and won't play with the kings anymore.

Brock Nelson re-signs with the Islanders 3 years 7.5m

Great deal for a 20 goal scorer.

herashak · Sep 17, 2015

ideally jankowski breaks into the nhl like nelson next season.

Bouma Fett* · Sep 17, 2015

Pretty solid deal for Nelson. If he stays the same as last year its good. If he continues to get better it's great, and if he regresses its easily movable as a reclamation project type contract

Panthers just re-signed Huberdeau to a 2 year deal @ a 3.25 AAV, what a great bridge deal for the Panthers.

I always find these bridge deals interesting. Certainly a fair deal now. If Huberdeau reaches his potential during this bridge though, the Panthers will be paying through the nose to re-sign him.

The Voynov thing is a major blow to the Kings. They clear up some cap, with him and Ritchie gone; but he was a fairly valuable dman for them.

Johnny Hoxville · Sep 17, 2015

Tallon made him a "best and final" offer. It's great value, but it's the same question. He played hard ball with him now, Huberdeau will have all the power later and could be making north of 7 million. Personally I hope for us Treliving finds a middle ground contract so we have cost controlled assets long term. 6-8 years deal at 6 million per. E. Kane also signed a 5 year, 5.25 per or something like that. Will be interesting to see how this all unfolds and this signing here could most definitely be used as a recent comparable.

One of the reasons why they made the move for Jeff Carter.

Johnny Hoxville · Sep 17, 2015

We can always trade them Wideman for Pearson.

Thread in the Business of Hockey. The Panthers will maintain 2000 season ticket holders for the upcoming season. Their renewal rate was 90%.

Johnny GODreau · Sep 17, 2015

Toronto trades prospects to the Islanders for F Michael Grabner

I guess they're in win know mode. :sarcasm:

Leafs the Leafs with 45 contracts.

I read that as having 2000 new season ticket holders, with 90% retained.

Remember that story a few years back about an out-of-towner buying Panthers season tickets just as a joke and ended up getting the total royal treatment? I thought about doing that when I was in Florida a couple months back but I wouldn't have been able to go to a game :laugh:

Bouma Fett* · Sep 17, 2015

The Huberdeau deal is great

I like Grabner, like the deal for the Leafs. Move out a bunch of meh prospects not in their future plans for a decent two way forward with sick speed

Taranis · Sep 17, 2015

Even if the prospects were meh, for one year of an injured Grabner before hes a UFA seems a bit odd to me. I mean even if he remains healthy and trade bait how much can they get him?

It was to clear contract spaces. Ship out the prospects they don't like from past regimes, sign Boyes. Glencross and Seto, flip em for mid picks at deadline to start building their own prospect pool.

Seems like both the Isles and Leafs accomplished what they wanted and needed to do with this trade, so good for them

Late 1st, maybe a 2nd + prospect.

Your guess is as good as mine. :laugh:

Pretty much how I interpret it as well. Finn is the only one of significance. Heck they might just flip Grabner again later for a decent return. Clearing the contracts here was key.

Taranis · Sep 17, 2015

You never know with guys like Carter Verhaeghe and Christopher Gibson could be. Clearing contract space I get, but the PTO's are going to get you 3rd rounders most like.

Amusing thing is my coworker whose a huge Leafs fan says Finn is pretty much the worst of them. Says he's stagnated after turning pro and coasts by on draft pedigree more than anything. Says he doubts Finn ever becomes more than a #6 at best.

Admittedly, I'm no expert on the Leafs prospects but I have Grabner's value pegged at about a 2nd rounder. Finn is probably worth a 3rd, so I view the other guys contract dumps (again I could be off base here).

I think it's hard for a guy like Finn, he's a young player and trying to learn to be an every day pro which means learning how to be consistent day in and day out. The environment in Leaf land last year was a losing one. Everybody quit and I think it rubbed off on everyone. Finn could be a guy that gets a fresh start here and gets back on track under different management.

Finn is from the same draft class as Kulak, Sieloff, Culkin. All these guys just had their first year pro, way too early to pass any judgement.
