AROUND THE LEAGUE - 26-27

[donlever]

Friedperson putting Pittsburgh and Pettersson together now.

Throwing shit at a wall presumably.

[Lancer]

The Free Agency hoopla has come and gone. We're just getting into the dog days of the offseason. Friedperson needs to generate content before he goes on vacay. The Dickless Swede is unofficially on the market, and it was a weak FA crop. Sure. Why not?

Just get the fucker gone already.

Apparently (allegedly) the Mintyukov offer sheet is imminent and the Ducks have been advised it is incoming.

Edit...and Verbeek heads this one off at the pass with a 5x7.2.

From which team? Was it reported?

Allegedly the team in question was Carolina.

Apparently (allegedly) Verbeek and Mintyukov were talking 3x3.1 ahead of the CARLSSON offer sheet which subsequently threw a fuck into the defenseman negotiations timing wise.

Apparently (allegedly) Verbeek offered Carlsson 12.5 and Leo's agent countered at 15 which Verbeek was sitting on when the 18 from Philly came in.

Apparently (allegedly) Verbeek assumed (when told it was incoming by the league) that the offer would be more in the 15 mill range (to match what was being asked from the players side) so the 5x18 threw a big hitch into his get along....

Isn't it nice to watch other teams' management do questionable things in the offseason?

If there is one team that Pettersson could regain his form with, it would be Pittsburgh. To slide onto a club that has two first ballot HoF’s with tremendous work ethic and leadership ability, Petey could put his head down and just go to work and torment Tocc and the Flyers.

Ruck twins and some picks, getter done.

There was supposedly a Swedish report last summer that Carlsson was willing to sign for $9 or $9.5 back then, but Verbeek stonewalled the negotiations.

[donlever]

Lol.

Had not heard that one but would not surprise me if true.

He did a similar thing to Zegras.

Him I sort of get but Carlsson??

As I've commented on several times dude could be Mats Sundin.

No need to fuck around with that player.

Make an everybody is happy deal and move on...

Where was Verbeek when Ren and Stimpy signed ScooterDoodle?

Could have used a "little ball of hate" like attitude back then....

Edit....lots of chatter out there that Carlsson is more likely to be a Flyer than a Duck next week.

Why not? What did Sundin ever win?

Fuckin Swedes.

[BoS]

Why not? What did Sundin ever win?

3 World Championship gold medals, and an Olympic gold medal with Sweden

Which is worth what, exactly, in the NHL?

[donlever]

Meh...semantics.

Sundin was a horse, a great player, a Hall of Famer.

Not his fault he played for the Leaves.

If Mats played with Sakic instead of Forsberg the Avs still arguably win those Cups.

Some great players don't win Cups (Dionne for instance among many others, Ignila, Thornton et cetera).

If everyone won a Cup a Cup wouldn't mean anything.

[Meds]

Quit harshing on my harshing.
