Calling it now, Grabo to St. Louis.

Wouldn't surprise me. Weiss and Ribs are looking for too much for too long for STL. Grabo is a good fit. I'd be much happier with that than something like Cullen.

Really need to move some money to make any of this work though. Halak / Perron / Stewart.

 

[Socreges]

Hooooooooooly shit.

The lolz are extraordinary.

...? We weren't going to re-sign him. And he's from Calgary. I don't understand your reaction.

 

[brucewaynegretzky]

I agree, but I think Giroux has too. 4th highest scorer in the league this decade.

I think settling for 8 would have been a nice gesture to the type of weird fans who care about cap hits down to the last dollar. People like me.

It's not just about fans.... It's about reasonableness of the cap hit. 8.3 a year is A LOT for what G is currently producing at. He needs to continue at the same pace AND improve a bit in some years to justify those numbers. I hope he does do that, but I'm not sure he will.

Every time a player voluntarily goes to Calgary I start laughing uncontrollably.

Wasn't saying anything about the Nucks, calm down

 

[equippedwithtowel]

Any team with the cap space would take any of these contracts. The best forwards get 8m+ now, and the best defenders and goalies get 7m+.

Not in ottawa

Thank you based Murray

 

[yyzjohn]

He's just the type of reclamation project that McPhee and the Caps will jump all over.

Interesting theory..Grabovski getting PP time with Ovechkin? Ovechkin kills Grabovski for never passing him the puck?

Heh Spezza will get $8M+ when we have to resign him.

I am sure Anderson will get that much as well if want to resign him as well,

 

[Sanjuro]

Seguin is gone!

Rask is still here though.

Anderson isn't pushing 6.5

If Spezza puts up 2011-12 numbers then 8mil+ is basically confirmed.

But yeah thw market for #1C isn't getting any cheaper.

If Andy plays like he did last year he may, he'd have been a Vezina finalist if it wasn't for the injury.

#1C market was always small, if we don't give him $8M+, someone else will.

The Boston nightclub scene will be a better place without #tylerseguin demanding entry. #TradeSeguin

According to sources around the team, Seguin was out late in Toronto during the road trip to play the Leafs in the first round of the playoffs and the team had to hold a sit-down with the immature forward about his commitment to the team. Seguin showed up each day at the Air Canada Centre wearing the same clothes for three straight days and played badly in Games 3 and 4 of the first round against Toronto.

That incident coupled with stories of Seguin’s late night partying during the regular season prompted Peter Chiarelli to say that “[Seguin] needs to become more of a professional” during a tirade at draft weekend. The Bruins attempted to deal Seguin to the Calgary Flames last weekend, but ultimately Flames ownership squashed any deals for the six-year, $5.75 million contract for Seguin while they go through a full rebuild with inexpensive, youthful players.

It's going to be difficult to make up Seguin's lone goal in the second season. I'm well aware.

*shrugs* Was just confused. Makes sense to me that he'd be going to Calgary.

 

[lamaroo]

Get lost Briere.

3 million is about the max I'd give him, and only if we're making Desharnais disappear. We don't need another centre to push Eller down the depth chart despite him playing better.

Seguin showed up each day at the Air Canada Centre wearing the same clothes for three straight days and played badly in Games 3 and 4 of the first round against Toronto.

That's only because he can't use his washer and dryer.

Edit more: If getting almost traded to Calgary doesn't scare him straight, nothing will.

 

[Socreges]

Hiyoooo

I wonder if Seguin would be more committed at this age if he hadn't won a Cup in his rookie season.

 

[TurtleSnatcher]

Dang.. Boston fans on their SBNation page are taking it bad

[BigJonsson]

I've talked to ppl that went to or had friends that went to high school with seguin, every story was him being a douche...... More so than most hockey players who are headed to the nhl

 

[calder]

Hiyoooo

I still remember someone, I'm pretty sure it was Jagr, talking about winning the Cup twice back to back when he entered the league and how it gave him the impression they would get to the SCF every year. Then it took a few seasons of struggling as a team to make him realize how fucking hard it is to get to that level even once.

 

[KernelPanic]

And yet Patrick Kane is still with Chicago, and he beat up a cab driver too.

touche', however, the talent is there and they still need a sniper

 

[Sanjuro]

Seguin isn't a sniper, doesn't have a great closing selection upon the net, and really doesn't have a solid position.

I never hated him, it just seemed that this was leading up to something like this.

 

[BigJonsson]

I guess we should be glad the leafs didn't get seguin..... He clearly can't handle ghe hometown club scene

I understand why they did it, but they should have gottwm s scorer...

 

[Terrordactyl]

Thats the 5th fuckin guy with local ties that well have signed then. I get the hometown hero thing, it worked with iggy, but fuck, I get the feel they are targeting these dudes now.

 

[Sanjuro]

We received a pretty great haul for him. I don't see why any team would give up a "legitimate" scorer for him.

 

[KingHenrik30]

I'm confused, are you saying Boston DIDN'T get a scorer back? Because if that's the case I think you need to do some research on Loui.

 

[TurtleSnatcher]

Good feeling that Lindy Ruff is going to be a total asshat to him until he fixes his ways. haha

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

I'd be OK with Grabo in FLA.

Yea, its getting a bit much.

@brandonworley
Jim Nill says this trade allows team to move Jamie Benn back to wing.


Yes!

EDIT When season begins Jamie Benn will be 24, Tyler Seguin 21 & Valeri Nichuskin 18. Might be top line for rest of the decade,

Bozak signing with Calgary according to main HFboards.

Still don't want Weiss. Nonis should not force himself to lock in a 5+ year contract with someone whose barely an upgrade over Bozak. I hope he goes the trade route...

Id take it. I have friends who are friends with bozak, he went to a HS near mine, could maybe get some team signed shit

But again another local-ish guy. Seriously.

 

[ZeroGravity]

LeBrun says Philly is the front-runner for Emery.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

God still not ready to see Weiss in another jersey. Even less so to see him 5 times a year.

 

[Terrordactyl]

Just read bozak is looking for 8/40 .....please dont sign him at anything near that. 2/8 would be acceptable, sorta.

 

[KernelPanic]

LOL first Stajan and now Bozak.

GG Calgary.

 

[gaming_noob]

Just read bozak is looking for 8/40 .....please dont sign him at anything near that. 2/8 would be acceptable, sorta.

Rumor is "less than" $5M per year. I see him signing a 5 year 4.5M/y contract...don't think teams are desperate enough to give him 8.

 

[Slurmer]

Exactly what I was thinking

No more Raymay? He had a somwhat decent season last year but hasn't been the same since his injury in the finals.
Addition by subtraction.

LOL Seguin. From 2nd overall to Stanley Cup hero to underperforming problem child to dumped in Dallaslike a cheap whore in 3 seasons.

LOOOOOOOL

LOOOOOOOL

I really, really hope this means Desharnais is leaving. Token french smurf position is already filled. (And I'm a frenchie).
