Yeah, he has the attitude of a pimp. :wink:

Lol I wonder if Kane wears a disguise when he hails cabs now...

Trade Kane for PK. Montreal gets a goal scorer, Hawks get their Dman. Edmonton sucks balls again.

Sounds like Campbell is close to a return to the Blackhawks, probably get a nice discount for his services. Kane isn't going anywhere. Would anyone trade Kane for Malkin straight up? I wouldn't.

Ughhh, I can't say I'm pumped at the idea of overpaying Lucic, but I'd rather overpay for an ASSHOLE like Lucic than a guy like Eriksson. And I'd hate to see Lucic in Edmonton, smashing the piss out of us for the next couple years. They're likely going to be beating us on the scoreboard before too long, at least we can have a team that makes them pay for it.

Not much left in the way of UFA dee now, most of those desperate teams will have to trade for one now.

Hmmm Buffalo is desperate for an established LS top-4 dee.

Rumoured to be willing to give up the 8th OA for a younger one (not many out there).

Edler + Columbus' future 2nd + Gaunce/Cassells for 8thOA?

(select a defenceman)

Sbisa is a top 4 LHS D man. Just ask Jim.

Hamhuis will garner some interest. Maybe Jim can move his rights but with the talk about soon to begin he is running out of time.

Yes - this is the type of deal that would be good for both teams.

Get Doc for GM of the Nucks (at least for this deal)

What a bargain contract Yandles is. 31 yeas old - 7 year contract $45 million, $6.35 million per. He had a great year last season

The other Kane is in trouble now.

http://www.tsn.ca/ap-sabres-kane-invest ... t-1.515024
BUFFALO, N.Y. — A person familiar with the situation tells The Associated Press that Buffalo police are investigating an allegation that Buffalo Sabres forward Evander Kane physically harassed two women at a downtown Buffalo bar.

This is Kane's second run-in with trouble in six months. In March, a three-month investigation led prosecutors to rule Kane would not face a sexual assault charge because there was no evidence to support the allegation.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

Panthers continue their busy offseason, trading Kulikov to the Sabres.

Kulikov and 33 overall for 38, 89, and Pysyk.

TOR gets Kerby Rychel from CBJ for Scott Harrington and a conditional pick.
11:08 AM - 25 Jun 2016


The conditional pick is if Columbus puts Harrington on waivers and he gets claimed the leaves surrender a 5th next year.
