We are bringing in Toews to not only improve our 2nd line exponentially, but to also mentor Cody Glass. Cody has the potential to be the next generation's Jonathan Toews if he commits to the work and preparation it takes day in and day out all year long to succeed in today's NHL. We will not be asking Toews to take on the burden of the Captaincy, instead, we are asking him just to go out and enjoy hockey again and to lead merely by example in how he approaches the world greatest game.
Toews? Captain Canada on the move again???
The San Jose Sharks trade Michael Brodzinski to the Colorado Avalanche in exchange for two fourth round picks (109 and 99).
@forsbergavs32 to confirm
Trade Alert:
Jeff Skinner
Taylor Raddysh
Jordan Kyrou
Dan Girardi
Slater Koekkoek(RFA)
2019 2nd round pick
Erik Karlsson($2.0M retained)
2019 4th round pick
Erik Karlsson solidifies the Defense of the decade, joining fellow countrymen Victor Hedman, as well as studs Colton Parayko and Ryan McDonagh.
Sucks to lose Skinner before he even played a game for us, but we feel with the cap space we've created in recent moves we have the necessary space to fill any holes in our Top 9 that may exist after such a move.
We wish good luck to Jeff, Dan, Slater, Taylor, and Jordan in Toronto as we're sure we'll be seeing them lots in the coming years playoff battles.

Wow... Get out of here Tampa. The cup was supposed to be mine. I know what you will do in UFA and I do not like it..
Kadri....I wish.If you have an 1C for sale, shoot me a message.
confirmWe have a trade to announce:
aquire
Nicklas Bäckström
acquire
Matt Duchene @5M cap hit (1M retained)
Brendan Perlini
First we want to wish Duchene and Perlini good luck in Caps uniform. We felt that an upgrade on 1C was necessary to compete in this Eastern Conference, and well, at the same time the addition of JvR ment that Perlini wasn't going to see top six minutes in this team, minutes the guy deserves in order to take his next step as a player. That said, we're so happy to bring Bäckström to our organization. We feel like he has been a very underrated player in this league for most of his playing career. To be honest, I cannot wait to see him and Kucherov do some magic together.
