League News: 2014-15 Around the League IV (NHL News, Scores, Highlights, etc.)

I fantasized about the Caps getting out of Laich's contract because he got hurt during the lockout.

 

[Marshall]

I did enjoy Fedorov's tenure with the Caps.

 

[Acallabeth]

Dear God, Bruins traded a 3rd for Rinaldo and we still have Laich.

Folks, following some deleted posts here's a reminder about site libel rules. If there aren't confirmed reports from credible media sources then something potentially libelous can't stand and is against the rules. This currently applies to the Richards saga that's apparently playing out in LA.

13) Libel: Any posts libeling players, prospects, or hockey personnel. It's not acceptable to post that you heard Player X has a drinking/drug/sex/personal problem from a "good" source. Do not post information that can be considered defamatory without a link to a credible media source. Other forums, personal websites, hearsay, and personal testimonials are not considered credible.

This is being enforced across all of HF.

This is going to be a very Greasy year hearing about this all the time

Sasha Semin placed on waivers. Watch him come back here

Is there a hockey team that's a version of the Oakland Raiders?

I can pray and hope.

Pretty steep price for Martin Jones.

 

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

Wait, did Sweeney just make a good move?

And what am I missing about Martin Jones?

I have no idea who Martin Jones is, but the Sharks trading their 1st is a very bad sign for anyone hoping to pick up a forward from them.

Martin Jones was the Kings' backup. Many people speculated that he was ready to be a starter. Sharks lost Niemi, they replace him by a younger option.

Good move for both sides.

I really thought he was the Hobbit.

The deal that Hamilton just signed with Calgary makes that trade look even worse for Boston.

Dreger and McKenzie both say the bruins offered him more money but he wanted a new place

 

[Dr John Carlson]

A bottom-10 team trading their first rounder for an unproven goalie doesn't seem like the best idea.

 

[SpinningEdge]

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie 21m21 minutes ago

Morin, Tropp, Anisimov and Dano and 4th in 2016 for Saad, Paliotta and Alex Broadhurst. CBJ-CHI deal.




I bet this may take Sharp off the table? No way Chicago gives away Sharp for prospects/picks now that they lost a 20+ goal top 6 guy, right?

 

[Marshall]

Was just telling Drake that this may be one of the wackiest offseason weeks in a long, long time.

I don't agree with the giving up much asset wise for goalies but if you're going to Jones is a much better bet than some goalies that have been traded recently. Numbers have been solid every leagues he's played in which is probably the biggest indicator for a goalie having success at the NHL level

I would have thought that Eddie Lack has atleast close to similar amount of value as Martin Jones. Yet one went for 3rd round pick and the other for 1st round pick + prospect.

For a team like Sharks that could very well finish bottom-10 again next season that is... interesting to say the least.

I dig it.

When was the last time we saw a seven player deal? Feels like it's been forever.

Didn't the Buffalo/Winnipeg trade last year involve a bunch of players?

There were 7 players in the recent WPG/BUF trade, and 7 aswell in the Seguin -trade few years back.
