Richardson is a borderline 4th liner
I'll take this as having a backup for once Schroeder is traded.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Good, not great.
And absolutely horrendous in the regular season. Just awful. Probably the worst player on the ice and yet, in maddening fashion, Babcock played him on the 2nd PP ALL THE TIME.
His cap hit is so small we could bury him in the minor and only have 200K of his cap hit count against our cap I'm pretty sure.

Well it was his first year and they had him filling in for Karlsson for a good amount of time.
He should be better with more manageable minutes and an offseason.

Yeah Richardson is the new Lapierre. I guess getting a 3C for $1.15M per was a pipe dream.

Still not sold on this lineup but I guess we'll have to count on Torts.

True.
Our current six are by no means terrible and our young guys haven't hit their celings yet. If only we could clone Methot,
I'm just cynical about our options for relplacing Gonchar on the pp

TSN.
Canucks will probably add another veteran forward and dman to 2-way contracts. 650k-1m territory

I asked new #CBJ forward Nathan Horton why he chose number 8: "Because if you turn it sideways, it means forever."

Murray saying that he told Alfie they had the Ryan trade in the works

I'm actually getting used to that Parros move. Prust won't have to fight everyone now and might last the whole season without getting destroyed, and we definitely need some intimidating players on our midget team.
I wish he was a better hockey player, but he can't be worse than Colby Armstrong... or Moen, probably.

There you go Kernal, I am right again.
Because if Alfie wanted to chase the cup then why did he choose Detroit over the team that was just in the finals and gotten to play with his friend Chara? Because Boston's offer wasnt that much better than Ottawa's, because they have no cap space.
In conclusion he chased the dollar here, and I lose some respect for him because of that.
I actually like the wings, and obviously, the top 2 centers. I like the D, and the goaltending, unless Luongo fucks off, is good too.
Major question marks right now are the third line C, the fourth line wings (Sestito ew), and depth on D.
Well he said after Alfie said he was talking to Detroit, Melnyk told him to give Alfie whatever it took to sign him.

Brunner NOOOOO. ;_;
I'm really sad right now, loved Brunner when he was here. Also Holland, it's time to stop and not go after Cleary or Morrow.
AHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is not fucking true at all. Murray said that after they countered Alfie's offer Melnyk told him "just pay him whatever it takes to keep him here". Murray tried to convince Alfie to stay with Ottawa, at the price he was asking for, and if Alfie felt the Sens weren't a serious contender in December or January they'd trade him wherever he wanted to go. Alfie didn't want to be a deadline guy.
I am not sure how alfredsson sees a better winning opportunity in detroit
Detroit is being lumped into the toughest division in the NHL with two of the weaker teams in Florida and Tampa becoming more dangerous
Detroit is not guaranteed to make the playoffs, same with any other team in this division
Going to be a battle, for sure

It really does seem to be about the money. Not the best way to go out but with any luck we can snap him up post retirement.
That being said if we meet Detroit in the yoffs ... damn.

The East got so beasty today.
Zero reason to make his hand public until the moment of decision, really. He just got out of a game of goalie yo-yo, who's to say this management doesn't drop him right back into it?
I hear ya man. All we did was sign Kennedy to a contract. Boring.

Being a Capitals fan is boring on this day. Jeff Schultz is now closer to winning the SC than the Capitals.
:/ That is just depressing.

You're suggesting that Luongo is hesitant because he fears Eddie Lack will be rivaling him for starts?
Full roster and at the cap, no?

I just wanted one solid blueline signing. Maybe I'm underselling Benoit? Sens-gaf?

FWIW Briere and Parros > Bozak and Clarkson.
We're actually worse now than we were at this point last week.
The good news with signing Parros is that Prust can actually do what he does best, which is play hockey and agitate rather than having to try to be our heavyweight. And he will be a godsend if we get into another series with the Sens. So unlike the Briere move, I'm not wholly against this.
