Around the NHL - 2016/17 Stretch Run

[cactus shake]

Why would he be sick of playing in Detroit? I think it had more to do with his family. Still leaves the Wings in a bad situation, and one of the reasons I don't like Russians on my team. The Wings gave him everything and I see no reason why he couldn't play one more season.

I seem to remember reading that Datsyuk's desire to eventually return to Russia was completely clear through his last contract negotiation and that he wanted a 2 year deal because of it. Holland convinced him to add a 3rd year while knowing that this could happen.

I would take a measly 7th round pick from Detroit for Datsyuk's caphit once our roster is set for next year, but I feel like having a team in cap trouble no matter what conference through free agency & peak trading, is more valuable than the 2nd round pick or players that have been rumoured.

Florida acquired negotiating rights to Yandle.

Will be interesting to see how Anderson performs with Leafs in front of him.

Rangers give up Duke and a 1st, and now they're left with a 6th and possible 4th...and no Cup. Don't think NYR fans are happy with that trade.

They still have Chris Summers.

If Holland convinced him to add a 3rd. year, then Detroit deserves this mess.

Florida could be a good fit.

I think he will be fine. He is a pretty good goalie, and if they need help they will get it. They now have a good FO and a ton of money.

Sorry, Chris.

 

[Kaibur]

Michael Hutchinson's contract looks like a good yardstick for Domingue's deal.

We're now $16,666,667 richer. Thank you, Vegas!

Dreger speculated about 8 names as possible GMs for Vegas. Mentioned Maloney, though the early favorite still seems to be Scott Mellanby.

 

[ClassLessCoyote]

Canada is full of mad right now. I love it. Welcome to the NHL Las Vegas.

 

[RABBIT]

When do you think they will announce a name?

 

[The Feckless Puck]

When do you think they will announce a name?

Foley wants "Black Knights" but he said that he was going to talk to the league offices and get some direction first. I'd guesstimate before the beginning of training camp in September.

 

[SniperHF]

That name just makes me think of the terrible Martin Lawrence movie.
