Holy SHIT! Flyers offer sheet Leo Carlsson to the tune of $18M x 5 ($90M). If Ducks don’t match they get a quartet of 1st round picks. They just traded McTavish, they can’t also lose Carlsson, or they are in a bind down the middle. But $18M for a guy that has not scored at even a 1.0 ppg pace is a b ...

To add on the Sharks a few more points. (1) When you acquire a UFA, you are paying at the top of the market. There are some "destination franchise" exceptions to this, but by and large -- this is the case where there's a rising cap. A rising cap means (a) more buyers as more cap strapped teams get ...

It's also about rebuilding the room that has apparently (allegedly) been fractured for some time. Gallagher Oleksiak Schenn ...all team first guys who keep a room honest. By reports I've seen while digging into the dude Cotter is that guy as well....a keep them loose dude with a keep the boys ...

What I'm most floored about is not only did we somehow score a 1st for him, we got it from a team that could/should be near the bottom of the standings in 4 years time. Nice to fleece someone else for a change. The hardest part of RJ's job in the next 4 years is to slap Aquaturd's hand away when he ...

I guess the board crashed on FA day? So much happened, and so much forgotten. Crazy to me to see the Sharks play everything pitch perfect through the draft (including a bread and circuses pick in the 7th round, why the hell not) and then make such bizarre moves. I don't mind Trouba for their ...

I just watched the summer camp 3 on 3. The usual suspects performed well. Cootes had at least 5 goals, with Malholtra and Patterson both with a pair. Novotny and Aaram-Olson also scored. I couldn’t see names or numbers well enough to track assists. But it was fun pond hockey. The whole thing is c ...

Happy with that trade.

The Rangers will still be denying the need for a rebuild in 2030. Interesting strategy trying to go from bad to not good. It is the Chris Drury’s of the world that make me optimistic that EP40 returns value.

M Pettersson to NYR for a 2030 1st (top 10 protected) Happy with that trade. I’ll take a 1st rd pick for MP3. Schenn can do the same job for cheaper given where the team is at. Having an extra pick or two in the first round a couple years down the road may extend a window of contention if m ...

Jamie Oleksiak eh..... Interesting. I wonder what our blueline is going to look like in October at this rate. In terms of young defenseman to develop, there isn't much beyond Buium and Willander. I think both KK and Mynio could develop into NHL players; both are in a better place now than on their ...

Yeah...and Frondell is going to take heat off him as a 1 2 centre ice punch which will enhance his production presumably. What might enhance his production is having Frondell be his wing.... Or better yet, being Frondell's wing. Either way (or as it stands), I think he'll mature to a perennial top ...

Ex Canuck Kuzmenko to Pens 1x5 Might be a decent spot for him. I think it will be a good fit. The team isn't terrible and the division is open after Carolina, and only Washington seems materially better than the rest. But not so much better that they can book game 1 of the playoffs at home before ...

I understand the Leaves. Bob is 40. He was terrible last year. The Leaves were terrible last year. There might be a correlation.

LOL

...and Bob the goalie to Leaves @ 3x7. I don't understand the Leaves. Bob is 40. He was terrible last year. There might be a correlation. Explaining further for those less in touch with their team. They just traded Woll with 6-7 D man Benoit (that's where he fits in the lineup, not his height). He ...

They have learned nothing.
