Oh hey it's the dude that tried to say choosing to get drunk and doing something stupid is the same as suffering a head injury and doing something stupid. Also implied that if fighting is part of hockey people should be allowed to make fun of concussed players. Boy it sure hurts that he's not hanging around anymore. It was like he was only around a few weeks.

Eh, fair deals for both I suppose.
Komarov will play the same role as Kulemin, for 1.25m less. Not a bad lateral move by Nonis in this respect.

I don't think there's a fan base in hockey that will ever accept the Kings having legitimately won a playoff series against their team. I've come to accept it.
There's the cap floor for Isles. The dream of sending them Clarkson is over.
Had an Ottawa fan get all salty. He hates the Spezza trade and how they were forced to take less because of the stupid NTC.
Then he said they offered more for Statsny, but of course he signs for less to play on a contender. Tons of cap room, but all their UFA targets turned down Ottawa. So they have to settle for Michalek and his bad knees just to make the cap floor.
He's probably right, but what can they do about it?

A team that needs to make cap floor would never take Clarkson contract due to term.
And you can't buy it out. You guys are screwed for 7 years.
With the new CBA, can you still bury it in the minors if needed like Wade Redden before he was bought out?

Stay in the mines for a few years and hope their drafting can save them? Cause they aren't going to move anyone that other teams would want and would bring good returns. That's the nature of the league right now if you're not a contender or don't have a chance to be one. Stand by your stars till the better end and hope tomorrow drafts a generational talent.
edit: That or slip into a Leafs-esque neurosis where you think everyone wants to play for you for free.

Huh. Islanders could be decent this year if they can sign a couple defencemen.
You can, but you only get up to $900k in cap relief iirc.

Dat both of them.

Didn't see Kuro made a book as well, I'll have to read it.
I did read Samyy's book, it's a pretty good read I'd recommend it.

We aren't getting Kane. Jets would be dumb to give up on him too.
But yeah, the UFA winger market is thinning. The best ones out there might be Vrbata and Penner.

To be fair, the Ducks came out for Game 7 like they were being paid to lose.

Any interest in Penner? Haven't heard his name much

Noooooooooooooooooo
A 3rd pairing defenseman for 3rd pairing money? Who are you and what did you do with my Flyers.
Flyers also traded Tye McGinn to the Sharks for a 3rd rounder in 2015.

Sad it had to end this way...if they ever could get MacA they'd have a killer 1-2 line combo.

Jesus fucking christ, I'm glad he's only around during the playoffs when he can bandwagon.
Islanders just become my 2nd favourite team in the east
Grabbo, Kule
Lol @ Simmons "No GM in the league would want Grabo!"
Fucking cunt.
Four teams were interested in Grabbo and Kule package.
Malkin really wanted to play with Kulemin but deal couldn't be reached with Pens.
err the Islanders could make the playoffs next year

Canucks are pretty thin at all positions which will be a 'problem' when they run into injuries. I'm hoping they're going to just lean on their youth when that time comes, but they may be looking at signing another cheap winger and/or center instead.

Grabovski seems to have had three 'big' clubs go sour on him. I think he's a talented player to be sure, but the tag that he has some baggage is not undeserved.
Kulemin on the other hand has gone from GOAT Russian Leaf to WOAT Russian to GOAT(analytics) Russian Leaf in the space of 4 years. I honestly do not understand why there's any sadness about this guy chasing the dollar in New York.

Well Garth Snow isn't like any other GM in the league. As far as "4 teams were interested" they could have inquired and laughed at the asking price.

the dream is dead
Starts with an M? That'd be even more pathetic if this guy had a reputation of doing this. GAFers are generous, but it's different when people ask for handouts for no good reason.
Shit. Now we need someone to play 17+ minutes for 30 games in a season.
Michal Handzus come on up North.
Seemed like a good guy in the way Reimer is a good guy but I won't really miss him that much, one of those guys who was overplayed by Carlyle but pretty cheap deal though.

Another bullet dodged.
At this point I wonder if Carlyle will even show up for camp.

Flyers are going to need Ass Island.
Gee, I wonder who that was. Anyone who spends anytime at all reading the Canadian deals thread probably guessed it right away.
Edit: maybe not after all?

You should have just given him the code, but with 0s and Os (zeroes and the letter O) scattered throughout. See how long he keeps re-entering it, switching out the 0s and Os in infinite combinations
This is brilliant. I might do this. "On second thought..."
lamaroo, who were you thinking?
The guy who's always asking for coupons from people, or asking people to buy him cheap games when it's a YMMV thing.
I'd feel shitty namedropping, starts with an "H" if I remember correctly.

At least this season I know not to get my hopes up until game 82 is over because the Leafs can literally ruin anything. They could be up 20 points on the rest of the League in February and I wouldn't feel safe anymore. Thank you Leafs. I will lock up my hope inside a box and it won't see the light of day until Stamkos leads us to the 2017 cup.
