League News: 2014-15 Around the League Thread

[Hivemind]

Pretty fair contract, something that i didn't expect to say when i saw these news without the details.

Good for them, now they just have 5 overpaid D's.

MacDonald, Streit, Grossmann... ???

Schenn, Coburn?

Coburn is actually solid D but he's having a horrid season. Not nearly worth his 4.5m cap hit for this season.

 

[BobRouse]

I like Nick Schultz but ...what the heck are the Flyers doing here? They are in a tight cap spot, with uncertainty of the cap, a few really bad contracts and a big raise upcoming to Voracek.

They need to be bringing up their young cheap dmen and giving them those minutes and saving cap space.

This was pretty dumb especially considering they could have gotten a 2nd or 3rd rounder for Schultz.

 

[Hivemind]

Agreed they should have probably seized the opportunity to cash in on a good season from Schultz on the trade market. However, this likely signals them making other trades instead (Grossmann and/or Coburn being the most likely).

Schenn, Coburn?

Coburn is actually solid D but he's having a horrid season. Not nearly worth his 4.5m cap hit for this season.

Totally forgot Schenn exists, but I don't really think either of them are significantly overpaid. Especially not Coburn.

Entertaining game between Chicago and Detroit. 0 points for Kane.

I would laugh so hard if NJ made Oates their full time HC

And damn, Bruins losing 3-1 to the Oilers of all teams. What is going on with them

 

[ALLCAPSALLTHETIME]

3-3 Oilers/Bruins going into OT. C'mon Oilers!

 

[ryan519*]

this might beat our record shootout

 

[ALLCAPSALLTHETIME]

Oilers win!

11 straight Bettmanout rounds without a goal. Lol.

Hate the Bettmanout but nice to see the

Bruins only get one point.

 

[ryan519*]

mass hysteria in beantown

 

[Ajax1995]

Isles taking it to Rinne and the Preds tonight...

 

[Pigskin]

good job Columbus,

suck it ****sburgh

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

LOLnguins.

 

[trick9]

Florida only 1 point behind Boston now and they still have 15 home games left to Boston's 11. I hope Florida can surpass them, even with their low ROW totals. That market could really use the playoffs again.

They're tied for 4th fewest ROW in the East with Toronto and Ottawa and only trail Buffalo, Carolina, and New Jersey. It would be embarrassing if they made the playoffs.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Grabovski placed on IR.

Grabovski placed on IR.

Shocker!

 

[BiPolar Caps]

Grabovski placed on IR.

They'll be targeting ROR now!

no more dumb than us giving the same type contracts to Schultz and Erskine

Grabovski placed on IR.

This is a pretty big loss for the Isles right now. How badly is he hurt?

 

[marcel snapshot]

Matty P. and Grabo out with injuries. Next will be Ribeiro sidelined due to off-ice conduct.

 

[RandyHolt]

I think its hilarious S1d felt the need to fight so soon after Ovi showed him up at the whole captaincy thing

No idea. They brought a stretcher out for him last night but then he got up and skated off the ice.

What's gotta be more disturbing for the Pens is that Sid felt like he had to fight in order for the crap to be cut. It's not like it's some big secret that Dubi tries to get him off his game. But is there anyone on the Pens that would worry Dubi - don't think so. It's a team full of guys who like to stir ****, but very few who are actually willing to go. Steve Downie has been reduced to not being able to do more than sucker punch Jack Hillen. That's the worst of both worlds for Sid - the weasel stuff pulled by Lapierre, Downie, Kunitz riles up the opponents, but Sid has no protection if the opponents come after him. Who on that team right now is gonna pull a Matt Bradley for him? Latta and Wilson say of Nicky: "No one touches our Dad." Who's doing that for Sid? You better believe he's wondering.
