[Unhandled Exception]

Suck shit again LA

edit: lol what the fuck kind of trade is that

 

[Zombie James]

Flyers retaining 50% of both contracts.

Hahaha

 

[Yawnier]

Flyers retaining 50% of both contracts.

Holy shit. Ouch flyers

 

[imBask]

with the 50% salary for both players, it's not as good of a trade

 

[MetatronM]

That's $4m of retained salary in one trade. Amazing.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

If only the Habs can get rid of Emelin's Contract

Edit: LOL FLYERS

 

[zroid]

Well Schenn is a pending UFA so retaining on him doesn't mean much and they were ready to buy out Vinny anyway. Trade is still good for Philly. They get an asset (3rd) out of nothing basically.

 

[Cake Boss]

The way that the Flyers saw it was retain 100% of their contracts and are in your press box or retain 50% and actually get something back and clear roster space.

Good trade for Flyers. Shitty for the Kings, you barely have any cap space and you spend it on Schenn and Lecalvier? The fuck are you doing?

Maybe the Kings are gonna trade someone at the deadline

 

[Socreges]

Yeah they retain salary but no cap hit. I doubt they're concerned.

Congrats, Flyers-GAF

BTW, why the fuck did they sign him to that contract in the first place?

 

[calder]

Hextall went to the same Magic School as Bergevin.

Now time to Pry Simmonds from the Flyers while they aren't looking

They're making room for Buff.

Sources say pending NHL approval, Mike Richards is expected to join the Washington Capitals. Told Richards has to meet with Bettman.

I guess today is the Kings invasion of the Metro division.

 

[Terrordactyl]

Mike Richards to caps, pending league approval, what is this day?

 

[sazabirules]

We're getting Mike Richards? I can't complain with how our center depth is.

 

[anexanhume]

Mike Richards to caps, pending league approval, what is this day?

The weirdest fucking ever.

 

[MultiJhonny]

The big thing was to just get Vinny away. We expected probably to retain something this year

 

[ZeroGravity]

Vinny to retire at the end of this season, per his agent.

 

[Samyy]

Wait things are supposed to happen in the NHL

 

[RC]

All these trading shenagins. I'm trying to get work done.

 

[zroid]

Justin Williams made them do it

 

[anexanhume]

Vinny retiring. Holy fuck.

 

[Kave_Man]

EVERYTHING IS HAPPENING!

 

[Merguson]

Yeah they retain salary but no cap hit. I doubt they're concerned.

Congrats, Flyers-GAF

BTW, why the fuck did they sign him to that contract in the first place?

I'm pretty sure cap hit has to be retained as well.

Edit: with this retirement news I guess that doesn't matter

 

[jello44]

Luke is a FA at the end of the season and Vinny's agent says he is retiring at the end of the season.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Mike Richards to caps, pending league approval, what is this day?

I thought he was going to join San Jose.

 

[Quick]

This fucking hour. Wow.

Vinny retiring...god damn. Didn't think I'd ever witness this day, just because of how young I always assume he is, but dude is already 35.

Schenn to LA for a fresh start, maybe. Not a bad d-core to join. Might still end up being a decent 2nd pairing.

Richards to the Caps ain't bad either, provided he's clean.

Washington Capitals ‏@washcaps 2m2 minutes ago
NEWS: #Caps agree to terms with center Mike Richards on a one-year contract.

 

[MultiJhonny]

Well Vinny retiring...

Trade not exactly what I was thinking but at least we got a draft pick lol

1-year deal for Richards, $1 Million pro-rated contract.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Y'all this gives hope for Bolland.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Bolland for Bickell

 

[Red_Man]

How the fuck do teams keep getting out of their awful contracts, but we can't trade Emelin who is occasionally a competent player?

http://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/929695


what, why

why him

what about captain floater or little david? why Flash

Meanwhile fucking Desharnais continues to get by while only having like 2 points in the last 15 games while getting top line and top PP unit time. Garbage.

 

[Clydefrog]

WTF Lombardi.

My thoughts exactly. Is he drunk?

Well that's weird, but Lombardi wouldn't massively over-value a big-money veteran…

He has yet to commit a domestic violence-related crime so he was obviously not good enough for them

Let Lou make you an offer your teams can't refuse.

He is either weally good or weally bad.

Like to see Murray pull one on Lou. It could happen...!

 

[anexanhume]

Fantastic puck handler and lots of offensive upside. Played center in AHL but may thrive on the wing in NHL. 3rd liner most likely.

Not bad for the Flyers, then. Their top two lines seem set already.
