Matt Cullen to the Wild; 1 year, $1 million https://www.nhl.com/news/matt-cullen-sa ... -290690394.

This deal is notable in that it is the first 1 way UFA deal in 3 weeks (last one was Streit). And surely it signals an end to the Penguins' grip on the up. :look:

Good .... hate to see a kid have pressure heaped on him playing for his hometown team. Furthermore this team needs less elves not more. Wish him well!

Agreed. Perhaps he turns into a good NHLer but we need to target bigger players.

So much for the NYR rumour. Brooks likes to sell that shit. Or maybe he just thinks everyone wants to play for the Rangers.

Kerfoot will get plenty of NHL ice time with the Av's....ah well kept some interesting news for a bit for the long summer of no nhl action.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

You mean the good summer with nice weather ? Nothing long about it, the eight months of rain is coming soon enough.

Sure it was a fun even through the haze of wildfires, but it didn't even feel like a blazing hot summer though sadly in Vancity.

Just saying my addiction of hockey got a bit of a fix with the kerfoot news.

Bennett signs two year, 1.95 per deal, with Flames. I think think this is a good bridge deal for the Flames. Bennett has two years to earn his big pay day, or not.

I was hoping he'd sign a $4 million/year deal :D But, he got a fair contract.
The Cup is soooooo ours!!!!!!!

Blotto McKenzie's favourite hockey player - Sam "the Bust" Bennett signs a doozy, lol. What a maroon.

Treliving did a good job on that one managing expectations. I think it's more than fair for what he has produc d thus far. He still has the potential for more and now has two years to earn/prove it. Actually a good job by Treliving.

Yeah, it would have been satisfying to see the flames get a 4 million dollar boat anchor :D

But, he got what he was worth.

But Blotto says Sambo Bennett is a superstar?!?!

What did Draisaitl just sign for? (Drafted one spot ahead of Bennett)
