Wait. They paid assets?

Shouldn't they be getting the better draft picks for taking him off their hands?!

How are GM's in this league still so f***ing bone headed

 

[Charles Calvert]

Shaw had nearly 50 points in less than 70 games. I don't think this was a strict cap dump.

Sure... But ~$4M per for 3 years plus 2 picks...

I think it's telling of how much GMs think FA are going to get paid

True. A lot of Montreal fans aren't happy though.

 

[Charles Calvert]

What time can guys actually sign?

 

[895]

Doubt Shaw scores at a 61 point pace again but even at 40 points, 4 million isn't bad.

Compare Eller's 36 points for 3.5 million.

This is a good trade for Chicago.

It's been noon est in the past

Shaw's only 27? Huh. I thought he was older. Ok, maybe...

Another MTL trade

Montreal had dumped a lot of salary quickly. They must want Duchene AND Lee.

They have 13m in cap space which won't be enough for both even with an Alzner buyout.

Maybe enough for Duchene and Gardiner though, since they desperately need a good LD.

Metro gonna be fun

I could see them dumping salary from Danault too. They have a ton of contracts.

Very interesting tidbit about Connolly. Stauffer is widely considered mouthpiece for the Edmonton ownership group so I think this is him telling the Oilers' fans what's up.

I will be really disappointed if cono signs with Florida and it’s not an overpay.

I guess playing in the top 6 was the most important thing to him. Good luck with that Brett.

4 years is just too long imo

I guess. But we don't know the AVV. And 4 years is a lot of term IF he has a high AVV.
