Predicting:

Danault 5.5 x 6 in Vegas
Eichel finds a lining spot in LA

Bowman got finessed by Jones' agent big time

It's official now

Wasn't official when it was annouced a couple days ago

Ryan Getzlaf staying with the Ducks on a one year deal.

Sheng Peng believes the Sharks are going to use their cap space today.. (about 7-9 mil give or take)

Of all the teams that were initially interested in Eichel, LA really remains as the only one that can really afford him now, aren't they?

As far as I can tell, Calgary and Vegas are out on cap alone. Minnesota and Montreal could kick tires I guess but last I heard they balked at the price.

NYR is also left...maybe?

Calgary could still be in if Monahan goes the other way, we have about 6mil room and only NEED to sign a backup (remaining would be used on a forward, trading for Eiche would hurt our depth but we’d survive with some kids or cheap deals because it’s Eichel)

I mean they should just to justify the Buchnevich trade.

So, is Hamilton to NJD pretty much confirmed or just a rumour?

Calgary would need a third team involved. There's no justification for monahan waiving to go to Buffalo.

Grubauer maybe to Kraken according to Weekes

Plenty of teams need a top 6 centre, I don’t anticipate moving Monahan somewhere else being too much of a problem if he refuses to waive for Buffalo.

Not gonna bother keeping up with this thread, I’ll do a 32 team review tonight or tomorrow on moves made post NHL Draft/ end of exclusive UFA negotiations either trades, extension or FA signings

For money sure - but for his career; poor decision

Off the top of my head the teams that need a top-six center are either trying to acquire Eichel or wouldn't be teams that one would expect Monahan to waive for.

Not trying to be argumentative or confrontational, it just seems odd that a team like the Rangers or Wild would help the Flames acquire the guy they want more. Not saying it's impossible, and probably not the worst idea the Rangers could pull off (a Mika-Mony one-two punch is not a bad center core), the optics on it just seem silly.

Leivo and Cole to Canes. True game changers.

Well, I was away for most of the fun. But a quick recap for the Bolts:
Bogo = new Schenn
Elliott as backup
Andrej Sustr (wtf?)
And mas AHL pieces

The Florida Panthers & Carter Verhaeghe have agreed to terms on a 3-year contract extension in the $12.5M range. He has one-year left on his current contract.

I like the Leivo deal for a solid 4th liner, but did we really just pay Cole 3 mil for 1 year?

Better than Goligoski for $5M lol

Michael Del Zotto gets a two-year deal with #sens carrying a $2M AAV.

MELNYK ACTUALLY SPENDING???

True. We're getting shafted a bit, but some other teams are getting smoked.

FYI Leivo was atrocious this year, sorry. He had exactly one good game all year, and countless opportunities in the top 6. Wouldn’t expect too much. Just gotta hope he bounces back on a new team and maybe provides 10 goals on the 4th line.

Rittich to NSH, 1 x 1,25.

Pretty cheap.
