Ughhhhhhh
Instafail.
Noboby will ever debaucherize the Oilers again if I have my way.
Whoa
That was a bold trade for EDM. It has the potential to be a big win for them if Tarasenko Schwartz and Allen turn out......but wow that's an awful gamble.
confirm this deal. Brooks was the longest tenured Penguin in the organization and a steady D-man for the most part. We will surely miss his presence, but we feel a youth movement was needed. Zucker will be a mainstay with Sidney Crosby in the near future. His playing style fits perfectly with what Sid is used to and he provides a ton of hockey IQ so that he and Sid can feed off each other. We were also in major need of size and toughness on our 4th line and we have acquired that with Mike Rupp. Our full roster and cap situation will follow, but we expect this to be our playoff starting lineup:[fieldset=MIN/PIT]
D - Brooks Orpik ($1M Retained by PIT)
D - Scott Harrington
F - Mike Rupp
F - Jason Zucker[/fieldset]
The Minnesota Wild are happy to bring in a steady, hard-nosed, veteran defender like Brooks Orpik. He plays a strong defensive game, is an excellent shot blocker, and he knows what it takes to win. Our young group can learn a lot from a guy like him. We also are very happy to bring in an extremely solid young defender in Scott Harrington. With some contracts expiring at the end of the season, we fully expect Scott to compete for a full time job next year.
We thank Mike and Jason for their time in the organization. And wish them, and the Penguins franchise the best of luck in the future.
I actually didn't think it was a bad trade at all, to be honest. Even though it didn't really fill any needs for you, you still got a great package in return. I was just amazed at how big of a deal it was. Hell, for all we know, Tarasenko may have a career that isn't much worse than Hall's. Plus you got Steen, Allen, and Schwartz- all great assets.Sorry, I guess it's cause I've never been a big fan of Hall and that's probably why I don't value him as high as some of you but I still feel this deal wasn't bad for the Oilers. Yes, I understand Hall was a former 1st overall draftee and his ceiling is high but the package I got in return wasn't all that bad. Steen @ 2.7M is a great cap for someone who can play anywhere from the 1st-3rd line, Schwartz and Tarasenko are both very promising young players that will most likely be playing top-6 minutes in a year or 2 (both already playing in the top-9 for the Blues), and Allen is a young developing goalie that could quite possible take over the starting job for St Louis in a year or 2.
I'm actually pretty surprised by the reaction from the trade. I felt it help my team depth wise and allow me to have more options in trade, including some that are in progress/pending.
Glass has passed waivers. We will assign him to the AHL and eat the $200k he'll still cost on our cap. May God have mercy on his soul.
Edit: Also, we waive Matt D'Agostini with the intention of sending him to the minors.
With a few deals nearing completion, we will have a surplus of defenders on our roster. As such, the following players are readily available:
- Marco Scandella ($1.025m)
- Jared Spurgeon ($2.667m)
- Clayton Stoner ($1.050m)
- Nate Prosser ($0.825m)
Stoner or Prosser can be had for picks or prospects. Scandella or Spurgeon I'd prefer to add a low-ish salary RW.
Just saw that SR, you can't send down two guys on a one-way contract.
UPDATE
Still listening to offers for Andrei Markov but we feel that we have a very competitive team right now. At the same time, he will likely not be re-signed next season so we don't like the idea to lose him for nothing. If we get an offer we like, he might move.
Nathan Beaulieu, Sebastian Collberg, MTL 2014 1st round pick, PIT 2014 1st round pick, other picks and most prospects are available for a young core player.

Ducks confirm. Sbisa is a talented young defenceman that unfortunately has never takent he next step. With Lindholm and Vatanen being NHL ready we took the opportunity to move Sbisa+ out for a legitimate #2/#3 defenceman who will help anchor our 2nd pairing. We wish all three players luck in the Sabres organization, and welcome Christian to Anaheim.
Really like this trade for the Ducks and pretty good trade for the Sabres too considering that they are rebuilding and a lot of teams are so close to the cap.
