Around the NHL Thread - The Amount of Drafts in July is TOO DAMN HIGH!

[Mobiandi]

Vegas is callous with how they do it but I can appreciate their ruthlessness of removing big-name players from their roster that don't fit their timeline.

Some of our fans are still clutching their pearls with a Monahan trade despite the fact that he's entering his 8th season here

 

[User1996]

We’ve got better pieces to make an Eichel deal than Vegas imo. If they beat Brad out it’s for no other reason that Brad being a bitch

 

[Kranix]

Sigh. Listening to a lot of Sirius Hockey the last few days, they've already got the Pacific in this order. 1. Vegas 2. Edmonton 3. Vancouver and then they've mentioned LA and Seattle as being in 4th. Nobody even considers Calgary a playoff team. I know, it's just opinion, but it's not fun hearing your favorite team not even in the conversation to finish top 4 in the weakest division in hockey.
This offseason might end up sucking big time.

Eh. Don't worry about it. That's why they play the games. Calgary was thought by the media to have an unbeatable D corps and destined for a cup in a couple of those seasons after getting Bouwmeester, and then were basically a joke

 

[Mobiandi]

Neal got bought out

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

I mean we knew MTL was interested in him last season, so this isn’t too surprising. Montreal hard at work assembling an all villain team lol.

The Sinister 6

Neal got bought out

You mean it’s not just a paper transaction this time?

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Nope.

Oilers with $2 million dead cap for the next 4 years from Neal.

Another $750k for two years retention on Lucic, who has shown he's actually modestly effective albeit overpaid.

You hate to see it.

It was the plan the whole time, don't you know.

 

[Boomstick]

Yandle to the Flyers, 1 year $900k
Ovechkin $9.5 x 5 years in Washington
Buchnevich signed with St. Louis 4 years $5.8 m aav.

 

[Boomstick]

I have to get ready for work for my afternoon shift. Hopefully Brad wakes us and we do something.............or not. I guess we'll see.
Have a good day/evening folks.

I woke up somewhat excited, thinking free agency was opening up today. July is too damned long. No month needs to be 31 days. Foh with that.

FOH with that might be the best thing I've read today.
And I read a lot of dopey posts sitting through meaningless meetings.

 

[Rubi]

Wow. His new teammates may hate him but I'm sure Carolina fans will love him and he'll love N Carolina.

 

[Rubi]

So I guess this means Edmonton won the trade.

Vegas's problem was that their C depth wasn't bringing enough offense in the playoffs and now they sign a guy who's a black hole of offense (in the playoffs at least)?

 

[Mobiandi]

As long as it takes them out of the running for Eichel, I love it. Give him 7 years!

probably has more talent than Chandler Stephenson. If he develops chemistry with Stone, he doesn't need to be a star.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

So we are 100% getting Eichel

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

What if the Flames just traded for Pettersson instead of Eichel, who costs less?

 

[TheHudlinator]

So we are 100% getting Eichel

Please speak this into existence

 

[Anglesmith]

Calgary starts with the letter C. Not just one but both of Jack Eichel's names contain the letter C.

 

[DFF]

I would just go for MacKinnon
