(Official) Around the NHL 7.0

[xMatMcC]

Would've liked to trade for Oshie. Not a steep price at all imo

 

[bWo*]

Brouwer is ****ing horrible, Copley is a good G but he's far down the depth chart so the only thinG of value is the 3rd! so happy with the flames and caps off season

Lineup should look like this

Ovechkin-Kuz-Oshie
Bura/Mojo-Backs-Williams
Mojo/Bura-Laich-Wilson
Chimera-Beagle-Latta/Galiev

 

[Bosnian Beast]

I am not a huge fan of TJ Oshie, but I really like that trade for Washington.

 

[bWo*]

I think oshie will do better in the east

 

[Zirakzigil]

Seems like a very underwhelming return for the Blues.

 

[Volica]

I think if Frolik wasn't signed, we would have been in on that.
That's a cheap price to pay, 30-40 point depth forward; UFA after next season, depth, depth goalie and a third.

I know Treliving is on everything, so I'm sure he stayed away for good reason.

 

[Taranis]

So... do the Blues think Brouwer is going to solve there playoff issues? I'm not convinced.

They need money to sign Tarasenko. Still, underwhelming though.

 

[Calculon]

Really doubt the Blues wanted to trade Oshie within the conference. Maybe they took a little less to move him out east. And with the Penguins already getting their guy in Kessel, their likely weren't too many suitors.

Oshie didn't fit with what the Flames were trying to do anyway.

 

[Buchanan*]

Can't believe he was had for so cheap? Maybe he wanted out...

 

[Anglesmith]

Mark Cundari signs with the Sharks.

So for those keeping score at home, it's:

A few dozen games of Iginla <-> Klimchuk and Agostino

Bouwmeester <-> Poirier and Smith

EDIT: Apparently Steinberg browses here:

It's really not too bad, but only time will tell. Flames were trading from a position of weakness in Iggy, and a position of weakness in having Feaster as our GM.

The prospects we got in both those trades were garbage, I'm happy Burke was able to salvage a pick for Berra.

 

[Lunatik]

Agostino is far from a garbage prospect.

 

[Calculon]

Don't really blame Feaster on the Iginla trade. The original return from Boston was more or less what I expected in a potential trade. Feaster could have waited an extra a day or two to leverage a better return from Boston but it seemed like they just wanted to put an end to it out of respect to Iginla. And Agostino still has the potential to be a third liner or better in the NHL. In fact, if the Flames clear the log jam of forwards and don't trade for a LW, I can see him being a call up at some point.

The Bouwmeester trade on the other hand was completely terrible and if it wasn't for Burke robbing the Avs, it'd be even worse. A bonafide top pairing defencemen signed for another year for a first and two contract fillers is inexcusable.

 

[CraigsList]

I like Agostino. He didn't look too out of place on our roster when he played those few games during the 13/14 season.

 

[tmurfin]

Wow Oshie was aquired CHEAP! Didn't see that coming

 

[GAMO1992]

Underwhelming return for Oshie....but lately the market has been oddly....cheap....

also its official. Connor McDavid just signed his ELC with the Oil today.

 

[Bouma Fett*]

Not surprised. Oshie is a good player, who also happens to be one of the most overrated in the NHL in my opinion.

TJ Sochi.

 

[Taranis]

Saad got 6x6, O Reilly getting 7.5 aav.

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

Saad got 6x6, O Reilly getting 7.5 aav.

It's not terrible or good. That is the reality now that Toews and Kane are going to 10.5 next season.

 

[Taranis]

further...

 

[Calculon]

 

[Gritty]

Saad got 6x6, O Reilly getting 7.5 aav.

Saad at 6x6 is too much. Makes me worried about Monahan and Johnny's new contracts next season.

Highest point / goal totals:

PT: 52
G: 23

 

[Starix]

Saad got the typical Oiler contract (RNH, Hall, etc...) I always figured Monny, Johnny would get similar
