If Leafs want Kris Russell there's no way they're using analytics. Unless they're looking at their charts upside down or something.

 

[Merguson]

Leafs super top secret analytics reveal Russell as a top tier defenseman surely... /rationalization

 

[Zombie James]

Can't wait for Russell's 7 year deal with the Leafs at 5.5M, followed by him being announced as their captain.

I'd like to think the Leafs have moved on from garbage like this.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Ekblad's deal kicks in 17-18 so 9 more years!

 

[Cake Boss]

Fixed.

@DarrenDreger: I believe the Maple Leafs remain as one of the 4 teams in contention for Kris Russell.

Hehehe it doesn't go away

 

[zroid]

The thing I don't get is how the Leafs are the only team whose supposed interest in Russell has leaked

Lou wouldn't let this get out. So it's the agent? Why is the agent only leaking the Leafs?

 

[Razorskin]

Lou gets to acquire 1 heart and soul player of his choice every offseason.

 

[Yawnier]

I'm gonna need some hot takes from Dopey when the leafs sign Kris Russell tomorrow

The agent know the analytics for Kris Russell sucks so he leaks that the Leafs are interested to make teams wonder if there's something they don't know that the Leafs do and thus tempted to offer more money for Russell.

That's the reason and I'm sticking to it.

 

[KernelPanic]

Leafs are commemorating the 8 year anniversary of the Jeff Finger contract.

 

[Line_HTX]

Other teams sabotaging the Leafs...

This looks pleasing, heh heh heh.

he used to be good... in 2010

Can't wait to see which team overpays for Lucic!

Placing my bets on the Lolilers.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Word is Ekblad signs the 8 x 7.5 year extension. Will be official tomorrow

Hedman is going to get paid.

 

[zroid]

Hedman is going to get paid.

he's getting the Subban contract

or rather... that's what he might get in free agency. I guess it's been established now that Stevie Y is good at getting players to take discounts.

 

[Coldnoodle]

[zroid]

Russell is going to be such a coup for the Oilers. Taking one of the Flames top 4 D-men and sticking him in Edmonton. That's like a double win!

 

[zroid]

wut

 

[imBask]

wut

say wuuuuuuut

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

@hfialkov: Source says Panthers are preparing five-year offer to a UFA tomorrow #flapanthers

Paper game stronk

@hfialkov: Source says Panthers are interested in free-agent defenseman Patrick Wiercioch. #flapanthers

But why

 

[MetatronM]

Apparently the Rangers tried to get the 4th overall pick from the Oilers. Obviously fell short. I wonder what they might have possibly tried to offer.

They're also getting "pennies on the dollar" type offers for Rick Nash. Not really a surprise, but there you go.

 

[NetMapel]

Alright guys rest up well tonight. May your bodies all be ready for tomorrow.

Somebody please take away Benning's phone tonight first though.

 

[Quick]

This is not the hair of a man who made a good trade.

Can't help it.

CHILDREN FROM MONTREAL'S CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL SAYING GOODBYE TO PK

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[shadowkat]

Halo 5 update is amazing so it's taking up my time. Probably play Overwatch this weekend.

Wondered where you were. I've played with your roommate a couple of times but not you.

Quick: loooool

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Had a hockey game tonight and most of my team thought the Habs won the trade. I was so annoyed.

God I hope PK dominates.

You play in a senile old man league though

Oh my God, a perfect one-two combo.

That Furious 7 picture still gets me. I almost want to cry.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Pretty much I think.

People always bring up that PK is a liability and is always making mistakes. Drives me crazy.

I'm going to bed....gotta drive to Saskatchewan tomorrow.

Is that your nearest "turn in your habs card" drop off center?

Some truth to that. High risk, high reward player. More reward than risk, though.

What people don't understand is that chipping the puck off the glass out of your own zone is a giveaway 99% of the time, but these old idiots would rather see that.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

say wuuuuuuut

He's perfect for the Sens.

 

[Fata1moose]

Free agency day! Here's hoping the Avs stay quiet.

Wondered where you were. I've played with your roommate a couple of times but not you.

Quick: loooool

Yeah, I've been playing Halo and Blood and Wine recently. I'll be back to annoy people as Tracer pretty soon.

 

[RBH]

Happy Canada Day

 

[ZeroGravity]

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie
Like @DarrenDreger said, mix'n'match SPECULATION looks like this: Eriksson (VAN), Ladd (NYI), Nielsen (DET), Lucic (EDM), Brouwer (CGY).

.

 

[Fata1moose]

I saw the thread titled, "Anyone Else Feel Like They're Paid Too Much Money?" I looked over to see if Sir Bat posted it, he did not.

Happy Canada Day friends in the North!

The Montrealers I work with, the older ones seriously think that and also said he was too much of a personality.

What's more important though, conservatism and tradition or winning?

 

[Cake Boss]

Hopefully that Boll rumor is for a two way contract and Bingo depth, makes no sense since we already got Neil.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Bergevin is going to dissappoint with whoever he gets.

Old white people prefer bouncing it off the glass to clear though.

 

[Fei]

Okposo asking for 7x7. Eh... I'd love Okposo, but that's a lot.

Edit: That's per Renaud Lavoie.

 

[Fata1moose]

Yup too much money, he's the type of player I'd expect the Avs to go after, but luckily Sakic said there'd be no splashes this year. Which is good with the expansion draft looming.

 

[Holiday]

I'm nervous about what Armstrong is going to do/not do today. He should let Brouwer and Backes go, and work on getting a center for Shattenkirk.

 

[ProfessorMoran]

People like Paul Coffey and Bobby Orr?
