I think his plan is to ease into a rebuild.

I'm not sure a series of franchse-altering moves within a span of 5 days is really easing into it

Yeah no kidding

 

[GAMO1992]

Shawn Horcoff signs in Anaheim.

 

[MuffinMerc]

Did the Jets not resign Stempniak?

 

[Gritty]

Did the Jets not resign Stempniak?

Nope. I bet GlenX signs a really small deal with the Jets.

2x2 or something like that.

 

[MuffinMerc]

If we didn't have David Jones I'd want Treliving to throw some money at Stempniak to get him back.

Heck, trade Jones for a pick and sign Stemps at half the cap. I always liked him.

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

youre welcome!

that's awesome! Thanks!

I used to be like you. Actually, one visit out here was during the '04 series against the Canucks. And man, was I happy to listen to TEAM 1040 after that series.

Actually I do like their variety of local sports talk-shows. I hate to say it, but I listen a lot in Calgary and Steinberg and Kerr get really old. Especially Kerr as of late and his Kerrisms (yeah, yeah, yeah talking over Pat making a point or whomever). The morning guys are the best - Boomer, Pinder and Warrener. And, the best of the best, most knowledgable, and most-accurate in his takes, is Pinder bar none. I see Ryan leading the radio-host pack in Calgary very shortly and for some time.

But, I do like the Vancouver guys (even with their obvious Vancouver slant/bias). And usually I like Moj quite a bit. The Vancouver lunch on TSN is alright too.

Bozak Deal Close?
It's looking like Arizona or Carolina.

Surprised Glencross is still a FA. Would be a good 3rd line LW option for a team.

Surprised Glencross is still a FA. Would be a good 3rd line LW option for a team.

Except he may still be delusional about thinking he is a top 6 forward/deserves that type of money. I'd have thought him being pushed so low in the depth chart by the end of last year would have been a wake up call but perhaps not.

Too bad too because he can be a fantastic bottom 6 guy.

 

[Calgareee]

Wondering how long until Tarasenko gets traded or offer sheeted... Last "high profile" RFA of the "whatever offer he gets will be matched no questions!!" club (a la Saad, Hamilton)

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

Is it offer sheeted or offer shat?

 

[GAMO1992]

So, Franson is still available, GlenX is still available, so is Ward. Tarasenko hasn't been signed yet....
still some moves to be made. Wonder if anyone has the balls to OS Tarasenko?

 

[Taranis]

Would be interesting if someone actually tested out the whole Blues will match any offer sheet theory.

Depends. I saw a tweet saying the Blues would match any OS.

I guess it depends on how the Blues cap is like right now. If they have enough to match an offersheet worth 7.2M(or higher, He's that good and worth it)

 

[Johnny GODreau]

I already proposed this.. .

5 years 36.5m 7.3mAAV (10m,10m,6.5m,5m,5m)

I guess to make it more difficult you could structure it like this (11.5,10m,5m,5m,5m) Blues would have to pay 21.5m the first 2 years.

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

They do have enough. They have 4.8 Million in free cap right now and in the offseason you are allowed to go 10% over the cap, so that is about 11-12 million. If they match they would have to move someone obviously.

 

[Taranis]

I think that would be the intent, they match on Tarasenko but then get forced to move a lesser guy making 4m or whatever.

 

[Zirakzigil]

If someone is going to offersheet him it should be the Sabres.

 

[bWo*]

nothings happening!

 

[AgeOfBennett]

Ward is signed now.. Anyone out there you think BT is still considering?

 

[Taranis]

Whos still available, Cody Franson at 5.5-6m? No thanks.
