Trade to announce:

To

Clayton Stoner
5th rounder pick 2011

To

we wish the best to Taylor Pyatt, he was solid here, but we needed a defenseman who could play 15-17 minutes now, and we got someone who could play even more, potentially, in the future.

 

[The Instigator]

Green, Schultz, Varlamov/Neuvirth, most pick/prospects, Chimera, and Perrault on the block.

 

[ErikKarlsson]

Green, Schultz, Varlamov/Neuvirth, most pick/prospects, Chimera, and Perrault on the block.

What are your needs?

 

[New York RKY]

Had several potential offers fall through.

Looking to deal almost anyone.

Jack Campbell and our 1st can be packaged to get a top 6 forward.

A lot of other roster players available including Brendan Morrow and Jamie Langenbrunner's rights.

 

[NYR Viper]

The New York Rangers are happy to announce the signing of another key RFA:

Brian Boyle - 2 years @ 1.25 million/season

 

[Peter Griffin]

Thrashers' organization announce the following re-signings:

Blake Wheeler has signed a two year deal worth $2.5M per. Blake was very solid since coming over from Boston and we feel he's a good fit in our top 6 going forward

Anthony Stewart has signed a two year contract worth $1.5M per. Anthony had a breakout season in Atlanta after a somewhat disappointing start to his pro-career. We feel he has found a nice role on our 3rd line and will be a staple there for the years to come.

 

[The Instigator]

What are your needs?

A center for Semin, some depth, and upgrades mostly.

 

[Peter Griffin]

:thrashers

Still taking offers for Zach Bogosian. Have a couple nice offers on the table already, but still want to see whats out there. Ideally would like to move him in a deal for a younger top 6 RW'er. Not interested in a picks/prospects deal unless it involves a 'blue chipper' or high pick.

Also willing to move the 7th overall pick in deal to move down in the draft and gain a top 6 RW. Willing to add to the deal as needed.

Listening to offers for Andrew Ladd, but most likely will not be dealt unless we can move him for a quality 1st line forward.

[matt trick]

Anterro Niittymaki and Torrey Mitchell are available.

Neither will be very expensive. Torrey is a damn solid third liner with loads of speed, and only one year remaining on his contract. Niittymaki is a solid goalie who should be very capable as a 1b. Could be a tremendous fit with teams that have a solid young goalie who can use some veteran support. Also, only has one year remaining on his contract.

Also, San Jose has signed their RFAs.
Devin Setoguchi- 5 years 2.5 million per.
Andrew Desjardin- 1 year 550k
John McCarty- 1 year 605k
Jamie McGinn- 1 year 550k
Along with others.

 

[matt trick]

are actively shopping for a top 6 winger and top 4 d-man. Our 2011 1st, 2012 1st, Nick Petrecki, Taylor Doherty, Charlie Coyle, Marek Viedensky, Benn Ferrerio, and others are available.
