Lmfao marchand. I hope the refs didn't call a penalty simply because of his theatrics. if he had gone down like you normally do when you get slashed across the feat I'm sure there would have been a call.

Looks like the Sharks have finally given up the ghost.

It's crazy that trash players like Vermette are getting a first round pick in such a deep draft. Makes me wonder what the fuck is Peter Chiarelli doing by not doing the same thing. Were not winning the cup this year why even bother. We have so many holes to fill. It's time to tank and get as high a lottery pick. I hope he gets his ass fired for fucking up the last few trades like seguin/boychuk and signing worthless 3rd/4th liners to outrageous contracts. Tired of his stupid ass asset management.

Yandle's one of the more underrated dmen. I'm not crazy about getting rid of Duke (I wouldn't call him elite but he's a good prospect) but Yandle's a great puck moving defensemen going to a team that doesn't have many of those. Plus the Rangers got Arizona to pay half his salary so he only costs 2.5m for the next two years, and his contract expires the same year as Boyle.

I think it's a good all in move. A lot of the key players are over 30 now. They might be able to rebuild on younger guys but they'v got at least 2 more peak years out of Hank and Nash.

Here's hoping that the James Sheppard trade means Tanner Glass is a healthy scratch as much as possible the remainder of the season.

I don't know much about Yandle, but Duclair was supposed to be a future star, he just hasn't been able to stick on the team due to his age, he's only 19 if I recall. I really hope that Yandle can push for time on the second line. Dan Boyle has been a third line defenseman at best this year. At a bare minimum, Yandle has to be at least an improvement over Moore in terms of scoring.

So, how's Zuccarello doing these days? You guys over the great pond should probably have a bit more insight into it than the media back in the homeland.

Given that Franzen is probably LTIR for who knows how long, it's not a bad move, considering the Wings didn't really give up anything important. I certainly hope the kids do better this year in the playoffs, as they got manhandled pretty badly last year by the Bruins, and it's nice to get some veteran depth so long as you don't overpay.

Yandle's good for like 40+ pts every year. He's one of the best offensive defensemen, and he is still currently, unlike Boyle and Redden when they were picked up. At the very worst he's a top 4 dman. A lot depends on where he can play

Idk I liked Duke but I thought he was more second line player max than a star.

Zuccerrllo also resigned 4/18. Good deal

I guess the second round in a conditional something pick is ok return for Petry. I can't help but think something better would have been available if we waited.

yeah that trade is 100% win now move. They do have a bunch of good younger guys, but Hank and Nash are both on the wrong side of 30. It stands to reason that they've got at least 2 years or so before those guys start to decline, and the good young guys currently on cheap deals become up for renewal

I wonder if that's the last big deal this year!

That petry deal is alright. I always thought of his as a third pairing dude, so the price seems a little high to me, but he apparently has top 4 numbers this year on a very bad team

e: I just realized that the lightning got 2 2nds for Brett Connolly, who was a former first but hasn't shown a ton I nthe NHL. That's a pretty good haul (esp since the Lightning have killed it in the draft the past few years). And they paid a pretty penny for Coburn but I also think Coburn's been really underrated. But that's the kind of move you can make when you're a top 3 team in the east that has a bunch of good young prospects
