Holy moly this is insane

The Central is unreal.

The Preds are unreal. They moved him for a dman just entering his prime.

Once Monahan signs today, this will be an even better day

HF can't seem to keep me logged in....

WHAT IS HAPPENING TODAY!?

 

[WeegarUnderwood]

I don't understand why Montreal does that. Subban is arguably better and younger. Bergevin making some questionable choices

 

[Calculon]

Oh what a day

What on earth was Bergevin thinking? Horrific deal for the Habs.

Oilers got better. Hall is overrated. One-dimensional wingers, no matter how many points they put up, just aren't as valuable as top pairing defencemen. And Edmonton actually traded a forward for a defenceman. What a time to be alive.

Stamkos staying with the Lightning is no surprise. After his meeting in Toronto, he must have realized how good he had it in Tampa Bay

 

[FlamesFreak4]

What is going on loooool

 

[Gritty]

Unreal! Those are huge hockey trades!!!!

Not sure if serious.

Bad wording. Meant I didn't expect everything that happened to happen all at once.

 

[WeegarUnderwood]

I also don't understand how people can say Edm got fleeced haha. Top pairing d men are more valuable than top line wingers imo.

 

[GAMO1992]

Oilers, while they lost value wise, got a good dman out of that trade. and if they can sign Lucic and maybe Demers....then their team just got better.

Subban for Shea....makes literally no sense....Pk's younger, and that Weber contract....is....kind of brutal in a couple years.

and then Stamkos resigns in Tampa....very surprised about that.
EDIT: For under 9M....yeah he took a paycut to stay.

Maybe it was a cap deal to shed a bit of cap? Maybe a precursor to trying to make a deal for Stamkos (who is now off the market)?

I think most folks were in the line of thinking that Hall was somehow worth one of very few real 1D in the league straight up.

Just goes to show how valuable 1D and potential 1D are in this league.

 

[Anglesmith]

Perhaps this shows us there's some serious trouble in the Habs' locker-room?

Or that there was, anyway.

I agree, Larsson is getting really underrated in all this.

 

[GAMO1992]

Oh and the Jackets and Jones agree to a 6yr/5.4(AAV) contract. pretty good value IMO

 

[Anglesmith]

I gotta say, I feel really bad for P.K. Subban. Guy puts his heart on his sleeve and plays his ass off, works like a mad-man in the community for various charitable causes, puts up with Therrien's ******** last year, and then gets kicked to the curb.

How do you feel about your Keeper Weber now, II?

Nice. I tried to do that gif but HF was crashed lol

 

[Volica]

PK/Weber I get.
You give up 4 years, but you get the constant professional in Weber. I know PK is a good representative of the game, but there have always been attitude concerns with him (and recent locker room faux pas' reported).

Weber is definitely better on the defensive side of the ice, PK's a brilliant offensive Dman; overall, Montreal to me, isn't a great team outside of what's in that net one way or another

Also, are you married to the idea of having PK at 9 million until 2022 with full NMC ability?

Hall is easily a top 10 winger, not just top line. One thing I've always agreed on with Oilers fans. I'm happy he's going to a legit organization. Larsson's good, but Edmonton lost this one big time, a move they had to make, sure, I just thought/think it's nuts they traded Hall.

And Montreal goofed as well. I love Weber, but Subbans already arguably better and Webers clearly declining..

I figured Stammer would sign in Tampa and make it a very anticlimactic ending, so happy the Leafs didn't get him

What a day
