Anything new happen the last few hours? Rumors?
Nuttin' connecting a guy to PIT.
Daley to DET.
Hainsey to TOR possibly.
Bonino to a slew of teams that aren't PIT.
Tampa and others have interest in Kunitz, not PIT.
In 2 years you would, because we don't have room to sign our young wingers, then again, the Canes have lots of D and we don't have any centers to give them, so we are giving them young wingers and picks. We don't have the right pieces for Staal. We do for Duchene. Our cheap wingers are the reason we can afford it in the short term, but if we give our wingers away to get Staal that defeats the purpose.
You could always trade Staal or others for capspace in the future. You worry about that later. It's not as if he couldn't be traded easily.
The cost though will be big though and they don't have a replacement C unless they are in on Duchene.
Alzner signs with the Habs, 5 years at $4.5 million. That's actually not a bad contract for him, I thought it would be worse.
Any way we could get a July 1st FA GDT, mods?

Marcus Kruger is owed a $2M bonus from #blackhawks today. Expectation is he'll be moved to Vegas in long-rumoured deal after it is paid.

#mnwild has called on defenseman Paul Postma on a 2-way.... Agents feel they can get him a 1-way
Yeah that's a good signing for a decent UFA. Won't provide much offense but very solid defensively
Hunwick would be an ideal #7. Can skate a little.
That would only add to the 'Vegas is where it's add' scenario I mentioned before. Too many 3C's there for deals not to be available.
Staal has another 5 years at 6 mil.
You guys would have to decide between Staal and Kessel.
If they retain about 1 to 1.5 mil a year, he's perfect.

Patrick Marleau's two year offer from #sjsharks is believed to be worth $4.5 million per #NHLFreeAgency

If Dallas are getting Hanzal.... perhaps there's a play to be made for Radek Faksa?
That'd be very nice.
