Chad Johnson is a great backup, one of three on my list of targets along with Montoya and Greiss. Flyers don't have anyone signed and they still have Vinny.

Are buffalo going to really be bottom 5 bad next year? I think the cap floor has fucked them out of a tank.
I freaking love Nylander. I'd put him straight with Connor Brown in the Marlies so they start the amazing duo.

So as of now, the following teams in the west are contenders that have improved:
Ducks
Stars
Wild
The Avs and Blues may have moved laterally (losing Miller, Stastny; adding Stastny, Iginla). The Canucks and Flames both got better in net but are not in legitimate contention.
The drama and entertainment in the west is about to hit a whole new level.

Kypreos suggesting Niskanen to Colorado is a possibility.

At least I called Iginla to the Avs, that's something right? He was good for Boston last year, Avs PR likes to throw around leadership with anyone over 30, but he actually brings it, not sure how it'll work out, but I'm happy.

Fuck yeah, Karmarov for four years. Love that guy.
How the fuck are they going to resign O'Reilly?
You forgot that the Hawks got a lot worse by losing Bollig
It seems to be pushed back every year though, usually nothing.

Nothing wrong with those moves. Like you said those are moveable pieces if they need to. Unlike Clarkson.
Ehrhoff chose a lot less money to play with Crosby and Malkin and cash in big next year. I mean.. 29 other teams can't compete with that.
Boyle from what I read wanted to play with MSL and I guess also chose NYR because they're more of a contender right now than the Wings are.
They're trading him to the Leafs for... um.. Lupul.. and a pick.. and salary retained.

You forget just how bad Buffalo was WITH Vanek, Miller, and Ehrhoff. I don't think Reinhart and Gionta make them "good".

@NYP_Brooksie: Stralman 5/$20M with Tampa Bay less than his last ask from Rangers. #Callahan
Dose Taxes...

Easily, yes. They could improve 30 points from last year and still be bottom five! Subtract out Ehrhoff, Miller, and Ott, add in Gionta and Gorges.. and you're probably worse than last year.

Maybe his leadership can propel his old, slow ass across the ice in a timely manner then? Cause he sure as hell can't.
They are probably asking for kadri if they are asking for anything
ROR + Richards, makeithappen

Yup.
Still a good deal though. Gives Tampa more flexibility to re-sign Bishop to an extension.

I'm more worried about slow defensemen in our zone than Iginla, he might not be there on rushes so We'll just have to put it in the net on first chance, or McGinn will be there to crash.
Its amazing how the sens fall to irrelevancy coming from that crazy Montreal playoff rounds, all the moment gone, we have become the Coyotes of the canadian team.
feels bad man.
You'll be the... Southeastern Ontario Senators
No real shock there.
Hell if anything that makes the East that much more open, just make the playoffs and a miracle might happen.

Don't worry we're apparently going to pick up Niskanen and then have no money to sign MacKinnon when his time comes nor O'Reilly. Salary structure!

Salary cap will be 80 million by then
Yep, one of the reasons I'm not that disappointed that the Wings haven't done anything. A lot of the 'relevant' Eastern teams have gotten worse or at best made +/- 0 moves.
Anaheim has their own David Booth.

I said earlier today that the team that signs Niskanen at 7 million is going to regret it more than the team that pays Stastny 7. Now I'm afraid.

Stralman deal is actually 4.5 mill average. Makes me feel better.

Hmm so depending on how much of a raise Ennis gets, him plus Ruhwedel being re-signed might take Buffalo to the cap floor without having to do other deals.
Ennis should probably wind up in the same neighborhood as Hodgson, which is $4.25 million.
They're somehwere around $5-5.5 million under the floor depending on who is actually on their roster (like Kaleta right now isn't, but probably will be).

Just don't fucking sign Niskanen and maybe we walk away from today not at a total loss.

We only have 10 million in cap space with O'reilly and Barrie still unsigned.
