Just posted this in another thread -- Boston trades Boychuk to NYI for 2nds in 2015 and 2016, plus a conditional 3rd in 2015.

The Islanders have also acquired Nick Leddy in exchange for Ville Pokka, T.J. Brennan, and Anders Nilsson.

Winnipeg makes its first player-for-player trade acquiring Budaj from MTL.

Also, Anaheim has waived Jason LaBarbera.

Wouldn't surprise me if Budaj ended up starting in Winnipeg.

He's kind of like Barbs in the locker room too, but not as bad on the ice.

Budaj is pretty bad. I am surprised he still gets jobs in the NHL

Wojtek Wolski, now playing for #Torpedo, just scored a natural hat-trick in 1 min 46 sec, setting up new #KHL record

I probably shouldn't tell you that the Jets waived him today.

 

[Summer Rose]

I probably shouldn't tell you that the Jets waived him today.

I already know. Today is getting really weird... I think the Jets are hoping he gets claimed and are just dumping contracts left and right.

Think the Coyotes should claim him? Probably better than Dubnyk

That's pretty impressive. Especially in a league as solid as the KHL. He was immensely talented. Too bad he didn't have his head screwed on straight.

Most likely he would be better than Dubnyk but the Coyotes wouldn't claim him even so - and honestly, with Langhamer under contract I don't blame them.

Oh what could have been. I still remember where I was when we acquired him from Colorado. I was sitting in 10th grade history class and received the text on my phone. Excitement ensued.

Pacific looks about right but I'd flip Edmonton and Calgary. I don't agree at all with the Central.

Lol, they literally picked the exact same teams as last year, in almost the same order. I've noticed almost every major sports outlet does this before a new season starts.

 

[ClassLessCoyote]

Amazing! The one season most Coyotes Fans want the Coyotes to be picked dead last in the NHL and we can't even get that.

I think Anaheim tops LA. ANA is legit this year.

Addition of Kesler and Heatley. Heater is arguably done but I think he's gonna tear it up with Getz and Perry.

Heatley's already torn up his groin. On the IR.

Bob McKenzie and Darren Dreger to join NBC

NBC’s NHL coverage got a significant boost on Wednesday with news that hockey insiders Bob McKenzie and Darren Dreger would join the network as contributors...

...McKenzie and Dreger are both well known for their work on Canadian sports network TSN, and regarded as two of the most insightful and dialed-in reporters in the hockey industry. McKenzie will work as an in-studio analyst for NBC’s Wednesday Night Rivalry telecasts, and provide on-site commentary at the NHL All-Star Game, the Stanley Cup Final and NHL Draft.

Oh thank God. Bobby Mac's coming over from TSN to cover the NHL for NBC. Dreger's coming too. Looks like the quality of draft coverage here in America is about to shoot up big time.

I would bet money it won't be the same 8 teams. I think there will be at least 2 new teams in.

I don't care where they pick us...we're winning the division.

 

[GiveAFlyingPuck]

If the Sharks don't win tonight, they will have lost 5 in a row to LA.

 

[Muppet]

I've had to mute the entire broadcast so far because of their ****ing Stanley Cup Ceremony. Absolutely disgusting.
