Crazy that Niskanen retired. Walking away from almost $6 million and only 33 years old.

Greenway is already better than Foligno will ever be. Foligno isn't that guy for the Wild. Hartman is

You have no clue of what you're talking about. It's like Comparing an Apple - Watermelon

Hartman is a middleweight 180 lb pest that has a lot of heart but nobody on any team is afraid to answer to him.

Folino is a 225 lb Heavyweight and and the rest of the BIG MEN know he's on the bench

That just doesn't seem normal. He didn't have any major injuries that I'm aware of.

I wonder why ???

Yet, it was Hartman that fought Reaves when he was running his mouth at both Koivu and Dumba. Foligno was offered the fight and skated away. Foligno is a pretender that really only fights when he thinks he can win.

At least we don't have to read more domi trade offers.

 

[HotDish]

holy fudge the main boards are an absolute gold mine of takes from MTL fans predicting trade details before the deal went down.

Greenway + 2nd for Domi looks like moves for Montreal these days

I tried saying, no one wanted to believe, Montreal fans hated me

[HotDish]

Good, I'm glad the Wild didn't make a play for him.

 

[Wild11MN]

This would be another potential option gone.

 

[HotDish]

This would be another potential option gone.

So far none of these feel like misses to me.

 

[Wild11MN]

So far none of these feel like misses to me.

Agreed. Just some Plan Ds and Es if we miss on everything else.

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

This does not bode well for junior hockey

 

[SupremeNachos]

He's made more than enough $$ to last his family several generations. He doesn't want to go through another potential bubble situation where he is away from his family again and with all the uncertainty left it doesn't help him think otherwise. Family should always be more important than $$ so I have no problem with a guy who walks away from millions.

Josh Anderson extends at 5.5M for 7 years. Woof.

Josh Anderson extends at 5.5M for 7 years. Woof.

They know he gets injuries right?

Josh Anderson extends at 5.5M for 7 years. Woof.

Wow...

Per year? Yikes. should've tried to trade Foligno to the Habs I guess

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

Hall to the Metro baby

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Hall to the Metro baby

And the Devils got just a little bit better too.

 

[2Pair]

If you really want the Pens to fall apart, you should be hoping for Hall to go to Pittsburgh

 

[Prior]

And the Devils got just a little bit better too.

I wouldn’t equate adding Murray as a positive.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

I wouldn’t equate adding Murray as a positive.

He isn't a game changer, but he's solid, and better than what they would've had in his spot. If he stays healthy.
