2013-2014 News Around The NHL Thread

Legwand would be good to have at 4C, have at least one vet centerman.

He had 51 points last year, I imagine he would be 2C.

Holmgren is getting bumped up to President of the Flyers and they're naming Hextall as their new GM. I wonder if the Panthers would ever groom one of their former players to eventually become the GM. Maybe they can do that with Skrudland and name him the AGM now.

The only thing that scares me about Skrewy is his hyperbolic praise for some of our prospects. Like how Bjugstad is a cross between Lemieux and Gretzky. I don't think he's levelheaded.

See that just stings.

Bylsma is safe for now.

Just saw that the Isles traded for the rights to Dan Boyle for a conditional 2015 5th. Looks like they are really trying to add a few vets to their squad and get them signed ahead of free agency. Interesting moves for sure.

Ah, yes...another great move by Keenan while he was here

I don't think he'll sign there, but we'll see.

 

[SoupyFIN]

He has regressed kind of quickly, glad to see the Sharks push the youth movement forwards.

Isles can probably offer Boyle the biggest money if it's a two-year deal, but whether Boyle wants to sign there is a different story. He's still held good relationships to Tampa despite the fact that the previous ownership basically forced him out, wouldn't be surprised if he signed there for less.

ohmygod. I almost feel bad for him

Looks like the Pens are going with Rutherford.

He still owns part of Hurricanes?

JOL

Would be funny if Vancouver couldn't CBO him because of that.

JOL

At least up until recently, yes. But I think he has to sell it to avoid a conflict of interest.

From recent Liiga history comes to mind, current HIFK coach Antti Törmänen had to sell his part of owning Sport after they gained promotion and he was named HIFK's HC.

I haven't watched it yet, but I'm willing to bet it was Booth who posted it

 

[Dread Clawz]

Wasn't it Bryan Murray who traded him?

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Rutherford is only there for 2 years, mentoring Botterill and then retiring. Pierre could have done the same, but he wanted a 5 year deal, and rejected the 2 years.

Great now we have to continue watching him behind the glass

Former Cats pick Pakarinen signed with Edmonton.

Must be one of those bold moves MacT was talking about.

I would've liked him in the Panthers, shouldn't have let him go...

Eh, he's dime a dozen player. AHL depth for Oklahoma if anything, I think he'll be back in Europe after those two years are up, if not sooner.
