Sheldon Rempal to CAR 1x775k

Jacob MacDonald to NYI 1x775k

Brandon Biro to SEA 1x775k

Laurent Brossoit to TOR 2x2.75M

Dakota Mermis to TBL 1x775k

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

What is your criteria here for ''first 5''? Based on when the insiders report the signing on twitter/TV or when the teams announce the signing themselves?

Jacob MacDonald to NYI 1x775k

Brandon Biro to SEA 1x775k

Laurent Brossoit to TOR 2x2.75M

Dakota Mermis to TBL 1x775k

Who? That name is clearly made up.

Probably the ones that are magically almost done without the ability of a GM to legally reach out to these pending UFAs.

Kane back to NYR is my guess
Guentzel to TB or VAN
Brown signing back with EDM
Pesce to NJ

 

[CascadiaPuck]

Tanev to Vancouver

 

[Rafafouille]

Who? That name is clearly made up.

[ottawah]

Desharnais to Ottawa 4X1.8M
Taresenko stays in Florida 3x4M
Guenztzal goes to Vegas, 4x8M (yeah I know they do not have the cap space but when has that ever been an issue with that franchise).
Henrique to Nasville, 4x4M
Lindholm to montreal, 5x6.5M

So a perfect option on a 2 way deal behind:
Pelech
Pulock
Dobson
Romanov
Mayfield
Bolduc
Reilly (assuming he returns)

An 8th defenseman isn’t what the Islanders need this season.

 

[Zetterberg4Captain]

Guentzel TB 7 years
Kane Det 3 years
Tanev Tor 4 years
Reinhart Flo 8 years
Zadorov Det 4 years

Certainly not at the contract the OP suggested. He'd easily get more $$$ and term on the open market, even with his production drop the last year. And to be honest, I don't think MTL pursues him. They look happy to go into next season with Suzuki-Dach as their 1-2 with Newhook filling in for a pinch if the need arises.

 

[Kents polished head]

I think Perron to Montreal is a good bet.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Kyle Clifford to LA 7x7

 

[SatanicToedrag]

Desharnais to Ottawa 4X1.8M
Taresenko stays in Florida 3x4M
Guenztzal goes to Vegas, 4x8M (yeah I know they do not have the cap space but when has that ever been an issue with that franchise).
Henrique to Nasville, 4x4M
Lindholm to montreal, 5x6.5M

Lindholm will get 8x8 minimum

 

[innitfam]

Lindholm will get 8x8 minimum

Lindholm can only sign 7 years

 

[93gilmour93]

Not including players like Guentzel and Tanev who's rights were traded for because those seem likely to get done already...

Kane - NYR
Pesce - New Jersey
Zadorov - Toronto
Lindholm - Boston
Reinhart - Florida

 

[SatanicToedrag]

Lindholm can only sign 7 years

All the more reason the AAV will not be under 8, no way no how

 

[The90]

Kyle Clifford to LA 7x7

He’d be great on the 7th line

 

[ICanMotteBelieveIt]

Probably 5 players who no one gives a flying f*** about.

 

[oceanchild]

Desharnais to Ottawa 4X1.8M
Taresenko stays in Florida 3x4M
Guenztzal goes to Vegas, 4x8M (yeah I know they do not have the cap space but when has that ever been an issue with that franchise).
Henrique to Nasville, 4x4M
Lindholm to montreal, 5x6.5M

Lindholm turned down 7x7 from the Canucks because he thought he could get more.
