I'd be shocked if Hamhuis gets less than Polak.

Although I've leaned never to underestimate the value that GMs of playoff teams place on "grit"

 

[Cake Boss]

A second + hopefully

Probably Oleksiak.

 

[zroid]

Oh lord... Button AND Poulin on LL today

 

[alexthekid]

When is he supposed to return from his injury?

They dont say much but "atleast 8 weeks" was floating around at the time of the injury. That would put us at the middle of march, I think.

Regular season ends march 5th.

Hamhuis will get a better return than that.

I hope I don't have to eat my words but fuck anything more than that, Nill wouldn't waste shit on a rental like that.

I dont know how sane the valuations are, but at least I mostly agree with the rankings if you compare player to player.

If Polak gets a second Hamhuis is worth much more, that's all

Hamhuis would probably resign with you guys if he were desired, though yeah... no assurance at the time of trade that would happen.

From Friedman:

We’re all waiting for Dale Weise to be traded, and so is he, judging by his quotes earlier this week. But Sportsnet’s Eric Engels reported Monday night that Lars Eller’s name is back on the block.

There were whispers about Chicago, but I wonder how the Blackhawks could make that work under the cap. Columbus makes a lot of sense, as GM Jarmo Kekalainen drafted Eller for St. Louis.

Eller to Chicago..? Hmmm, he'd definitely help

for real or speculation?

that's a lot... for a 36 y.o...

edit: nvm it's all over twitter. oof

 

[Silexx]

Fuck, I guess this is goodbye, José.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Bautista asking for $150 million over five years.

Nope.

See Ya Jose.

He's not worth 150M over 5 Years. I know who were trading at the deadline this year.

 

[DopeyFish]

so uh the blues are kinda screwed

what do you want for one of our goalies

 

[Line_HTX]

Holy shit, 150?

Rip Blue Jays playoff chances. I'll never get to see a Stros' / Jays playoff series.

Aaron Ward is free. I'm assuming he's not coming back to TSN at all. Sportsnet could use more meat heads.

Charges against former TSN Hockey analyst Aaron Ward stemming from an alleged October domestic incident were dismissed on Friday in Wake County, N.C.

Ward, 43, was arrested on Oct. 9, 2015, in Cary, N.C., and charged with two misdemeanours, for assault on a female and interfering with emergency communications. Both charges have been dropped by the Wake County District Attorney’s Office.

“After review of this case and discussions with the victim, it appears that further prosecution is not warranted,” Wake County first assistant district attorney Howard J. Cummings wrote in the dismissal, according to court documents.

"I am deeply humbled by my experience the last few months. I want to thank everyone who has supported and prayed for my family," Ward tweeted Tuesday morning.

Ward played 839 NHL games and won three Stanley Cups, including one in 2006 with the Carolina Hurricanes.

 

[imBask]

so who's going to give him that much money?

Diamondbacks or Red Sox

Leipsic to play top line with Kadri and Grabner, power play too. Marlie grads Percy and Loov reunite and it feels so good. #TMLtalk

Marlies!

Edmonton Oilers ‏@EdmontonOilers 15m15 minutes ago
"We haven't been good enough, so there will be changes." #Oilers GM Peter Chiarelli, says team will be "sellers"

Hmmm.

Schultz, Purcell and Yakupov I guess.

 

[Quick]

The Oilers just didn't stop the Fail for Nail campaign.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Yakupov for Weise and a 2nd

 

[Line_HTX]

What kind of changes? They're still shamefully in last place. Not like that's going to help.

 

[zroid]

Whoever trades for Boedker is probably going to get fleeced

 

[Yawnier]

Hmmm.

Schultz, Purcell and Yakupov I guess.

I saw this from him too:

"I'd like to get bigger and heavier across the board... I like our skill." GM Chiarelli on the current makeup of the #Oilers roster

Chiapet is going to take a run at his boy Milan Loochic in free agency.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

That would be a nice pickup

His points are good but those underlying numbers are rough, very rough. He is also far away the worst +- at -27 on the team. If it is, then hopefully cheap.

Edit: What Zroid said

Chiapet is going to take a run at his boy Milan Loochic in free agency.

Enter the Bolland. For Yak

Which site do you get these from?

 

[Unhandled Exception]

That Polak quote cracked me up.

 

[Razorskin]

I saw this from him too:

Benning's going to hard on Looch too.

 

[Line_HTX]

Is he really called Chiapet?

lol

 

[trifelife]

Is he really called Chiapet?

Yes, really. He sprouts green hair when you water him too.

Jose Bautista on report he asked for $150m over five years: "False." #BlueJays

Uh Oh.

 

[yyzjohn]

Uh Oh.

False, I actually asked for $160M.

 

[imBask]

it's 150 PER season you silly people

 

[Red_Man]

Multiple reports that Ellers name is out there. He won't be a top six guy, so I'm okay with moving him seeing as we have DLR, but the return needs to be worth it.

Therrien also said it's time to give the kids a chance to play, aka the seasons over. AGally better get back to center asap.

 

[imBask]

I doubt the return will be worth it. GMs aren't dumb... i'm still salty about that stupid Halak trade.

Halak was RED HOT we could've had soooo much more

 

[calder]

Uh Oh.

Anything even a bit less than that crazy-town number (which i think was made up simply as an example of something no team would really accept) and I hope he gets it. Fuck Rogers, just a terrible owner.

 

[Red_Man]

I doubt the return will be worth it. GMs aren't dumb... i'm still salty about that stupid Halak trade.

I don't see Bergevin moving him if the return isn't good, and yea Gauthier fucked that Halal trade up so hard it's actually impressive.

 

[Socreges]

Benning's going to hard on Looch too.

Everything this org has said is that they're trying to get younger while remaining competitive. Acquiring Lucic would go against both promises.

ownthepuck

Thanks

 

[imBask]

i'm still 90% sure this fucking idiot only called 1 team, maybe 2 and took the first deal on the table

 

[Red_Man]

McGuire was on Montreal radio a few weeks after the trade and said he'd spoken to multiple GMs and they all said they had no idea Halak was available. He wanted Eller for whatever reason.
