Closing in on a big trade. Can happen at any moment.
EDIT 3: New trade.
Mikko Koivu
Danny Briere
Dustin Jeffrey
This deal gives us some insane depth down the middle with Getzlaf, Koivu and Couturier. The absolute perfect 1-2-3 punch.
I'm glad I finally entered the conversation of a top 5 centre group in the league.
Ryan Getzlaf
Mikko Koivu
Sean Couturier
Did I solve your little "No number 2 centre" problem, Ducks?
Dustin Penner has signed with the San Jose Sharks. The contract is $3,500,000/yr for 4 years, and includes a full NMC.
Dustin completes his tour of California with a four year stop in San Jose. He hopes to strike it rich again and bring the Cup to the Bay Area.
Lee Stempniak has signed with the San Jose Sharks. The contract is $1,500,000/yr for 2 years, and includes a full NMC.
Stempniak is tired of bouncing from team to team and hopes having a NMC will give him some peace of mind.
Paul Gaustad has signed with the Philadelphia Flyers. The contract is $2,000,000/yr for 5 years.
Place TJ Galiardi on waivers. If he clears, he will report to the Chicago Wolves of the AHL.
This is because Colorado did not match the offer on RFA Jamie McGinn, he is now a member of the Vancouver Canucks. He signed a 1 year, $1.000m deal, meaning there is no nessecary compensation to be surrendered.
We, admittedly, made a small error confusing TJ Galiardi and Jamie McGinn. We wanted McGinn originally but mistook him for the player he was traded for in Galiardi. McGinn is a demon on the forecheck, and hits everything in sight. He has a great shot, and is emerging as a good offensive player as well, scoring 20 goals last year.
I dont care who goes where on the UFA market in this game, but the contender card is being overplayed...
I mean, look IRL...
Carle signed in TB
Prust in MTL
Jokinen in WPG
Suter/Parize in MIN
Sullivan in PHX
Jagr in DAL
Hudler in CGY
Allen in ANH
Parenteau in COL

Whitney in DAL
I dont see many contenders in there... and yet, that's where those players signed...
at the time of the signing, Flyers only had 1.85Mil left under the cap.
rule being that teams must be under at all time this signing need to be voided.
