I would not believe the Landeskog stuff. The guy wants over 7mill. While he is an upgrade over Hyman spending more for him really wont change much. In my eyes instead of spending 6mill on Hyman or another guy spend it on 2 forwards who play a similar style. While you wont entirely replace Hyman you can increase your depth and resilience in other areas.

Bertuzzi = 4.5
Wood = 2.75

Bertuzzi-Matthews-Marner
Wood-Tavares-Nylander

Maybe. I would give Bertuzzi a 1 year deal at 3.5 mill as with that back injury we need to know what were getting. Also

Apparently Foligno is interested in a run it back. 1 year at 2.5mill could work especially when we consider he was playing through injury and was not guy we were supposed to get.

Rn im kind of leaning to

Coleman 4mill
Goodrow 2mill

So Florida is buying out Yandle not a bad buyout but not really good either, GM’s are really regretting handing out NMC so my question to you all is will they learn or will they hand out NMC to everyone since ( probably ) no more expansion so no need to worry

hes going to Boston I can smell it. They need a Krug replacement and Yandle at 1-2 mill is a steal especially when you pair him with Mcavoy

So I found it funny how people are upset Toronto or Colorado are not giving Grubaur or Freddies camps permission to speak to other teams

IT CLEARLY SHOWS THEY WANT TO RESIGN THEM

Duclair signs a 3 year deal with the Panthers

Watch it be another steal of a contract.

UPDATE: The Stanley Cup tour starts tomorrow. The cup is currently traveling from Montreal to Robbinsville, NJ to spend the day with Ross Colton, who scored the only goal in Game 5. Then, it will visit Kevin Shattenkirk on Saturday. He will finally have his day with the cup!!

So Ben Bishop has waived his NMC for the expansion draft. Unless he has a career ending injury, you have to think that’s an immediate pick for Seattle, right?

Yup, Dallas ain't got much exposed other than Oleksiak. Seattle DEF flips him I think if they get an offer/ Dallas could as well.

They asked him to do so as apparently they want to protect Khudobin as lets be real that contracts a steal. With his injury history doubt seattle risks it and takes Bishop. This also allows them to trade him or khudobin for value afterwards

big brain moment

Krug was also very good with Carlo, so why not try the same with Yandle.

‘He died a hero’: CBJ goalie Elvis Merzlikins says Matiss Kivlenieks saved him, pregnant wife
“He saved not just many lives,” said Merzlikins. “He saved my son, he saved my wife, and he saved me.”

Matiss rushed to block the fireworks as it tilted to hit nearby people (20-30). Elvis says their newborn will be named Matiss.

Dickinson is and always was the BPA. They’ll most likely get him.
