Around the NHL: Part XXXIII

[Roo Returns]

Yandle going to Philly for the AV reunion?

AV misused him.

Lou might be interested though.

People hem and haw over every ounce of cap space, but there always seems to be a team around to bail out cap strapped teams. Don't understand this for Detroit.

They need a half decent dman ( they have very few) and Panik stinks

Exactly. Some guys on here lose sleep over what cap space we may have in 3 years. There is always an out. This is why GM's get paid well. They are already thinking ahead if things don't work out. Leddy is a better player than most people think btw. Detroit may unload him in another trade. The Isles will absolutely miss him though.

I’m guessing the Shea Weber possible retirement leak is a Red Herring so Seattle doesn’t select him.
I don’t think they will fall for it.

TIL that you can "trade" players + picks for literally nothing in return.

 

[wafflepadsave]

Not sure where this should be posted, but for the younger guys here that have higher aspirations, this is pretty cool.

Preds Twitter killin it haha

People are such douches to Pierre. Just because he's eccentric doesn't mean he's bad at evaluating talent. The "well he was an arrogant ass when he coached the Whalers 27 years ago" ....read that to any non hockey fan on the street.

All feels before reals.

Does anybody know how much Seattle will need to pay Price for the upcoming season ? Does his bonus get paid by the Habs before he gets selected or does Seattle have to pay the huge bonus due him and then have a discount on him next season ???? He is an expensive goalie for the upcoming season if the bonus is in play .

 

[Gardner McKay]

Honestly, at this point I would love to see Seattle absolutely f*** the Habs by taking Price. I would also love to see the meltdown from Habs fans.

While Tarasenko isn't what he used to be, for free he would be a stellar addition for Seattle.

Starting a team with those two, wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

 

[Crease]

Seattle should take Price. They will sell tickets anyway but having Price should help the business a lot.

bonuses normally get paid at the start of the new nhl year which is the 28th and after the expansion draft. sea would be on the hook for the rest of his contract.

Makes them competitive out of the gate.

 

[Machinehead]

The Kings exposed Lemieux to protect Andersson LMAO

 

[and 99 others]

random guess of the day: the canadiens are trading some picks away to seattle for them to take Drouin.

Based purely on Mrs. Price's instagram story telling people not to worry and that it will all make sense soon

 

[leetch99]

It certainly is interesting though with Price ...lot of stories in the wind and some intricate 3 way trade proposals and cap crap stuff on the go. Even heard Weber picked by Seattle...then dealt to Nashville and picks going in all directions to even things out...and then no Cap Recapture penalty for Nashville ! That's a dandy one right there . Plus...add in Mrs. Price story on Instagram....who knows ?

Carey price has nothing but misery left for him in Montreal...if he was smart he would get out . They will go downhill next season...no way they will repeat what they experienced this season. Price is getting older....and his play will drop off and he will likely be the goat shortly enough with that contract in a losing season .

How did Nashville blow this so badly? Are both their top two centers exposed?

 

[Roo Returns]

Anyone else think it would be hilarious if Seattle takes Price and Bergevin goes from a cult hero to a villain in like three weeks?

Both their under performing $8m centers. How strange.
