wow, trades are coming in hot and heavy today

[LegionOfDoom91]

I don’t see really much justification for trading Hanifin but I don’t mind a team in the division making themself worse.

This is Chia we're talking about. At this point I'm half expecting Hanifin to be part of a package for McDavid.

 

[Alex91]

What time is the first pick at today, and tomorrow?

 

[kudymen]

I dont understand why trade a quality 21 yr young Dman to get a 1st rd pick

If he was legit they wouldnt trade him. There's gotta be something there or at least they feel like there is, justified or not.

 

[tictactoe]

not bad trade for Colorado...

 

[Curufinwe]

 

[Striiker]

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

once they traded Orpik, there was likely no chance of Carlson getting to July 1st a FA

 

[Fire Tortorella]

Kovalchuk to LA

 

[klutch]

Kovalchuk to LA

I heard 3 years x 6.5 mil. Probably appropriate for a guy that’s a lock for 60 points. He’ll probably play a year and go back to Russia again, POS..... yet talented

 

[tictactoe]

Please sign Tavares.

 

[Jtown]

If Tavares goes to Toronto, they will lose one of the kids and i think they might lose the best one.

 

[Jtown]

hanifin and lindholm traded?

 

[Chinatown88]

It's happening!!

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

With Lindholm going to Calgary, I hope this means that Necas gets 2C immediately in Carolina .

 

[Jtown]

i like that trade for calgary. If they hadn't made that dumb trade for hamonic they would have been able to add to their lack of depth

 

[The Madrigal]

i think carolina abused them. they got the better defenseman in hamilton and got out of having to overpay lindholm. they offered him a 5 year deal at 4 million per and his agent is insisting on 5 million per which is crazy. getting ferland and a really good prospect for him like fox is nice work. another metro team gets way better.

 

[Magua]

It's not like Hanifin and Lindholm aren't fine players......but Dougie Hamilton gets to play behind or with Slavin. He gets all the top PP usage no question now. He could have monster scoring seasons on Carolina. Even more than what he's had on Calgary. Slavin-Hamilton might be the best pair in the league 5v5.

And they get Fox, who if he signs is a top 4 talent RHD. Ferland is a fine add-in. I mean you can basically look at it as Fox+Ferland for Lindholm. Hanifin for Hamilton straight up. Hanifin could definitely still get to his potential, and he's a fine player, but dang, Carolina.

f*** this draft. Every team in our division is annihilating in picks and trades.

 

[Stizzle]

Where the people banging the table how we should have drafted Dougie over Coots now?

Dougie is on his 3rd team already and possible malcontent teammate.

While Coots is pretty much our backbone and makes all of his teammates better. A total horkhorse stud.

 

[tictactoe]

Canes going to be fun to watch... Good D, fast scoring wingers.

imo Flames won this one.

Canes were literally one of the most boring defensive teams past few years lol.

 

[The Burdened]

Metro teams are making moves.
Ron pls do something other than sitting around smelling your own farts
