So Price just signed for 8 years and $10.5 AVV

 

[Novacane]

Great goalie but good luck winning anything with that much tied up in one player with other highly paid players

 

[HisIceness]

That will definitely make for some fun reads in the future.

 

[bleedgreen]

Wish the league max was five years. Save these gm's from themselves. He doesn't have a choice but to sign him, and if he won't sign without term...

 

[Lempo]

Yay. They went and defined the "Price Money" in non-unclear terms.

 

[Breakdowns]

So Price getting $70 million in signing bonuses and Kruger traded to VGK

Edit: Kovy asking from 6,5-7 million (3 years as well)- WTF, is he mad?

Hey TarHeel,

I just remembered this Summer marks 25 years since the Lindros trade (damn time flies). I seem to recall you made a Lindros trade tree about 4 years ago. Any chance you've updated it? Or could update it when it's convenient for you? I'd love to see what it looks like today.

Dear god.

The last roster update to it was at the end of 2013, but it's fascinating.

The only issue is that hockey is self-contained (since no hockey player has ever played MLB, NBA, NFL). But otherwise it's fantastic.


A sample:

ISAIAH THOMAS played on the 2012-13 Sacramento Kings with ...
Travis Outlaw, who played on the 2003-04 Portland Trail Blazers with ...
Wesley Person, who played on the 1994-95 Phoenix Suns with ...
Danny Ainge, who played on the 1979 Toronto Blue Jays with ...
Rico Carty, who played on the 1966 Atlanta Braves with ...
Don Schwall, who played on the 1964 Pittsburgh Pirates with ...
Rex Johnston, who played on the 1960 Pittsburgh Steelers with ...
Bobby Layne, who played on the 1948 Chicago Bears with ...

So Radulov gone to Stars- they are "missing" scoring for sure lol

 

[RodTheBawd]

Hell of an offseason for Dallas.

 

[Roboturner913]

Y'all check out the fight board, somebody posted Langdon vs. Rob Ray from 2001. I don't even remember that fight even though I rarely missed a game back then, but man, it's something else.

 

[Roboturner913]

Stars are definitely going for it, but this may be the only year their window is open. It certainly won't be more than 2. Looking at next year they're already committed to 52.5 million on 10 players. Yikes.

 

[Lempo]

The word on the Prospects boards is that Sebastian Aho (Swe) is coming over this season.

I insist we adopt 'Sebastians Aho' as the only correct plural form when addressing both of them in the same communique.

 

[geehaad]

Thanks. Good to know where all my Ahos at.

I only recognize the one true Aho.

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

I only recognize the one true Aho.

Our lord and saviour. Praise be to Aho.

Amen.

 

[Unsustainable]

We need to trade for this other Aho.

 

[MinJaBen]

We need to trade for this other Aho.

That would violate the first three:

1. I am the Player thy Aho.
2. No other Ahos before me.
3. No Swedish images or likenesses.
4. Not take the Aho's name in vain.
5. Remember the game day.
6. Honour thy Francis and thy Brind'Amour.
7. Thou shalt penalty kill.
8. Thou shalt not commit penalties.
9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy linemates.
10.Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's center.

 

[HisIceness]

Our father, who art in heaven, Aho be thy name.

 

[Highway29]

There's a new article about Aho training this summer in yle.fi.

What was interesting is that example of newcomer (Darling also) the writer mentions for this year's team is Philip Samuelsson.

Aho says that he needed to adjust to tight schedule and needed to save some energy also during the season. Time differences were also a challenge.He's training hard and spending time with relatives, playing tennis with Donskoi.
