Sounds like a buyout and or retirement. Love Jovo for all he's done and meant in the org but he isn't a NHLer anymore. Even after coming back he was mentally too slow to compete.

Was he still at Lenny's long after the game had ended?
I'd rather move Gorges than Emelin, Emelin was awful the majority of last season, but I still think he can bounce back. Shot blocking is over rated, and usually implies you don't have the puck as much as the other team. There have been reports that Bergevin is trying to find another top 6 forward too.
I agree with the move too. I think Gorges can get more in return, but Emelin (despite flaws) has good upside and can play better on his natural side. I don't know if they'll squeeze Gio, but I'd say they're better off without him. If they can find a taker for Bourque, then that should clear up enough cap space to make a push for a good ufa.

Lol Flyers offered Luke Schenn and Vinny for #1 overall.
What a deal!
What a deal!

They just signed him and they want to trade him after one season...
And they thought that was enough for 1st overall...
Just offer sheet Subban and hope he signs it. I mean, he used to play in net in Philly anyways.
BS...
According to who? That sounds so bad it's insulting.
Make a splash as the host of the draft by throwing out a bullshit proposal.
Makes sense.

That awkward moment where your wallpaper shuffles to a picture of Bonino.
I offered that as a joke in here.
I thought the rumor was Vinny + 17th + Brayden Schenn.

So many Wild fans bitching about the draft. Why? Not because of lack of quality to the picks.
But because we didn't draft a single Minnesotan. This entire draft is terrible, nobody is good, because we didn't take anybody born here.
Smfh.

Yes. Dan Boyle.
We didn't need to drop Ehrhoff to be the worst. We were the worst with him. By far!
The Cult of Tim Murray is going to take a serious hit from this one. Terrible move. I'm sitting here hoping for McKenzie to say he made some mistake.
The cap recapture penalty wouldn't even have been that bad with a few more years.

Wild are targeting Vanek and Iginla at forward, Niskanen on defense according to our beat writer.
Kind of intrigued by the most famous Wild killer ever in Jarome Iginla. Still not a huge fan of him after the Johnson incident a few years ago but that's not something to begrudge him for I suppose.
Is your stuff actual Montreal born players or just Quebec as a whole?
Minnesota had a bunch of solid players this year but most of them were playing for the USNTDP rather than high school. High school kids projected to go second or third round didn't go until the 4th or 5th, leaving tons of Minnesota fans freaking out because we could have "stolen" them.

I'm starting to think Hextall might be worse than Holmgren. First that laughably bad Hartnell for Umberger trade and now this? Florida wouldn't even take that deal if it was simply Philly giving them the 17th, Schenn and Vinny for free.

According to the Pittsburgh media, the primary reason Shero was fired is because he didn't draft Saad or John Gibson, both Pennsylvania natives.
All of Quebec.
I'm going to go out on a limb here.... But maybe why they bought out ehrhoff was because buffalo knows they arent going to be good and ehrhoff joined when they were trying to become a great team and that isn't going to happen soon.
They are probably going to make cap dump trades to pump up their prospects and picks but none of the teams they were talking to either had no interest or very little flexibility (defense as a strong suit)
Ehrhoff leaving gives buffalo almost $20 million just to get to the floor. So I am willing to bet they are going to be taking bad contracts starting tomorrow.
HFboards is saying he was untradable from buffalo perspective because if he retires on another team before his last year with $1 mil salary, buffalo gets nailed $10 million

Fucking mentally challenged Leaf fans. Since we have one of the biggest if not the biggest bases, you get a ton of fucking idiots.
"management sucks cause we didn't take a Canadian"
"We need more grit and toughness, not another soft European"
"Why didn't we draft size?"
Just more and more of this stupid shit in the comments when I was reading more on the Nylander's drafting.
If you want toughness, let's get a bunch of Orrs then. That'll really fucking help. Also, we have a bunch of Canadians and quite a bit of supposed toughness if you look at our fights and PIMs. But NOOOOO. Let's just stick to more fucking Canadians and good ol Ontario and Mimico boys. Just give Cuntson the C, and put him on the first line with Bolland and Orr and be done with it.

Ahaha holy shit if we land Erhoff. "nah guys this is how 2011 was meant to go".
According to the link in your tag, old people aren't declining anything

Can't wait to see who offers him a massively front-loaded deal next! Who else needs to spend 15m on one player to hit the cap floor?
The examples in this post is basically all taken from the comment section from the Sun, yes?
I always need to point out to these knuckleheads.... How often do you see the best players in the NHL fight let alone bodycheck?
We will give you Phaneuf, Gleason and Clarkson to feel better
