Around The NHL Part XXIX

[FJB]

I miss Grabner. Has he declined a lot since leaving?

he needs to play in a certain style/system. He'd do well here again IMO.

His strengths are the PK and flying the zone. I'd take him on cheap 1-2 year deal to replace Fast on the PK

Agreed. He also needs to play with guys who like to have the puck on their sticks. He can retrieve pucks but he isn't the guy you want creating plays.

Honestly, a PK unit of Wennberg-Grabner would be VERY good

Why does Vegas have to do anything other than just buying out Fleury and promoting Oscar Dansk? That saves them 3.7M and then they will be compliant. They can clear another ~300k by sending Holden to the AHL and replacing him with an ELC.

 

[NYR Viper]

for people wondering why Seguin was less effective...

 

[Avery16]

Khudobin should fire his agent

 

[Avery16]

HFS, this years goalie market

 

[archanfelnsx]

Looks like Chicago needs a goalie now. They traded Lehner (bad idea) thinking Crawford would be their guy. Now they are letting Crawford walk and I don’t know if they have anyone decent enough in their system to step in and be their starter. I’m sure they would rather go the UFA route and not trade any assets but what about:

Alexandar Georgiev to the Hawks for Alex Nylander?

 

[NYR94]

Carolina likes their ex-Blackhawks. Wonder if Crawford will end up there.

Find somebody better. Alex is to William like Marcel Hossa use to be to Marian.

[Paulie Walnutz]

Most overrated player of the last decade. Glorified third liner.

 

[JohnC]

I cannot stress this enough; f*** Justin Williams

Florida Panthers have acquired Markus Nutivaara from the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for Cliff Pu. Good pickup by Florida. Nutivaara didn't play much in the playoffs for CBJ.

 

[eco's bones]

Again?

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

f*** that guy.

I know he was making 2.7 million but I thought Nutivaara was a decent bottom pairing guy. 26 years old.

Josh Anderson gets 7yr/5.5aav from MTL.

Yikes

 

[East Coast Bias]

What the absolute F

Okay yeah I'm glad we didn't trade for him now.

Good, he's killed us.

 

[Kaapo di tutti capi]

What the absolute F

Glad we had no part of that.

 

[bl02]

Why 7 years especially if his shoulder becomes an issue again? 4-5 years at 5 per would have made more sense

 

[Inferno]

Legit the new worst contract in the nhl

 

[rangers1314]

Protzline has Ryan Murray to NJD
