Cgy offers Gaudreau $10M+ over 8 years and he's still gonna walk.
Maybe the collective moisture from the Flames' fans tears can help with the heatwave we're having in the city right now.
I'm glad Edmonton re-signed Kane, simply because of the rumors he'd end up in Cgy if they didn't. At least we had one good year of the BoA.

Burns to the canes is pretty spicy! Sj retaining a 3rd getting goalie prospect and conditional 3rd.

Good news is that, even with Campbell at 5x5, it's a cheaper tandem than Smith/Koskinen was last season, hahaha. Friggin' Oilers.

I did not know that, but it also not surprising. Do they have anything in the pipeline for back up or will they be grabbijg someone who is leftover?

I hope, and assume, they will finally give Stuart Skinner a chance to play a decent amount of games.
Dude was probably their best goalie last season (in the handful of games he played) and carried Bakersfield a fair bit further into the playoffs than they deserved to go (in the AHL). Plus he has one of the best moustaches in the game. He's earned a full time backup spot, imo.

Quality mustache alone should be more than enough.

I see we believe in the same advanced metrics.

Stars acquire Mason Marchment for 4 years for $4.5 million. Hopefully the Stars can consistently generate offense on 2 lines in this upcoming season
|
Marchment seems like a bit of a gamble, but at least they didn't go Full Clarkson on the contract.
|
a little, but I think that many points at that age is usually a good sign even if he played on a powerhouse offense.
I'm stoked the Rangers got Trochek. He's great. Term blows, but if they don't win in the next 3 years, they're going to shed the older high end guys anyway so whatever. I feel like someone with his skillset always has some utility in the league and is always going to be tradeable.
|
Health is his only concern especially at 7 years but likely what had ot be done to get him. Actually all the contracts today seem fairly reasonable. Worst one IMO is Gudbranson 4x4. He is a solid 5-6 defenseman that brings physicality but thats too much for too long.

Shit johnny hockey to clb is reported. How stupid must the money be to pick the bluejackets?
|
coLOLmbus
edit: Is Patrick Kane a Ranger yet?
|
Why did he take less money to go to clm, they overpay everyone because it is a shit team in a not good city. Like I get TB or home town discount, LA SJ NY whatever, but the blue jackets, it blows my mind. I guess you make more per game when you never make the playoffs.
|
must've really hated playing in calgary
|
That has to be part of it. But why not NJ NYI or PHI? I get philly was tight on money but the others had bundles. Im sure Car would have rather had him then the old timers they picked up. Leaving cal was not totally shocking but going to clb for less then what otgers were offering was.

well unless he comes out and gives a reason, ppl thought he could've went back to home to NJ NY. but who knows, not everyone likes to play at home, there's a lot of shit that comes with that, maybe he didnt want to deal with it.
and he has (paywalled)

i dunno, to me personally, atmosphere is probably pretty low on the list in terms of picking a team.

It is great for CLB but it kinda seems BS, I can not imagine the atmosphere is better than Calgary. Its kinda funny because there other signing is a massive over pay whixh is what you expect for a smaller market cold city with a history of losing. The conspiracy theorist in me wants to think someone is blackmaiking him or there is some off the books bonus!
The big learning is extend or trade at the deadline. They could have had like 5 firsts or something stuoid instead they lost in the playoffs and got nothing.
