Who's going to touch Emelin

Analysts seem to think he still has value as a physical, stay at home defenceman. That means there's at least one GM out there who thinks the same. They're not above putting physicality over skill as proven time and time again.

Sekac :(

Emelin is one of those players that fans who watch him every game realize how bad he is, but if you only ever see him a couple times of year you probably think he's a great, stay home D man. I'm sure Bergevin can find a sucker to take him, he's already pulled some great cap moves.

Ugh. Stupid connection error.

That was fun Lamaroo,. I like your rainbow shoes.

Thought I was the only one who got the error, my paint wasn't covering the ground for the last 20 seconds or so before it kicked me out.

Now if these other jerks would join us for some games.

Mike Green going to get paid too.
Is he really leaving? Today I was reading an article about a guy from ESPN who mentioned Dallas, Flyers and one other team were interested interested in him.

Signing him would be too damn expensive for a role that's already covered by Goligoski, so I really hope we don't do it, it'd be dumb

Petry signed to a 6 year extension

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Love it. Bergevin putting in work, hopefully this is the start of a great off season for him.

fantastic news!

now we need to get a top 6 forward from free agency (or via trade)

this deal must mean gilbert or emelin is gone

The way the players are treated. The way the organization is run. It was a real eye-opener. Everything in Montreal is first-class
Petry throwing shade at Edmonton

There's no room for him on the Flyers. We have 8 dmen on contract and MDZ as an RFA.
 
Habs have the highest paid defense unit in the league if my calculations are correct.

Habs cap hits for 2015/2016:
Subban 9
Markov 5.75
Petry 5.5
Emelin 4.1
Gilbert 2.8
Rest are U/RFA

Total $27.15M

Rangers cap hits:
Staal 5.7
Girardi 5.5
McDonagh 4.7
Boyle 4.5
Klein 2.9
Yandle 2.625

Total $25.925M

Lightning have a pricey blueline too:
Carle 5.5
Garrison 4.6
Coburn 4.5
Stralman 4.5
Hedman 4
Nesterov 0.925

Total $24.025M
 
Sharks should throw some $$$ at Green. We could use another dman of his type.

No one was giving Petry more than 5.5 in July. Habs had to pay.
Are you serious? He would have gotten 6 x $6 or more easily, even LeBrun said so. Habs got him for cheaper than market value, Petry would have been the best D man on a very thin UFA market this year.

The Bruins are paying 13mio on only 3 defensemen, so we'll see what happens in the offseason :lol

Stupid Rumor of the Day:

Habs are going to Trade Plekanec+First Round Pick for Ryan O'Reilly.

There were rumours that Dumont had been told he wasn't a part of the Habs plans, but they signed him today.

I'm really glad they signed Ellis too, dumbass Lefebvre kept him in the ECHL even though he's one of Hamilton's best defencemen.

such a dumb trade since he's not locked up... that's JFJ style of trading

this leafs rumor makes me nervous:

Leafs trading a roster player
phaneuf pls
, 24th overall for 5th overall and cap dump.

Imagine if the leafs could get 5th and 6th for the cost of kessel and JVR...

Zacha, marner and hanifin... and a 100% guarantee of being completely shit next year... leading to a possible top 3 pick again

Del Zotto RFA

23.52 for 8 guys. I don't think MDZ gets signed till one of Grossmann or LSchenn get traded.

An actual fantastic find by someone on HFboards!!!

Reid Mitchell, the guy who is responsible for essentially all the administrative stuff for the Leafs (booking hotels, travel, etc) for all hockey ops and scouting just followed a few more people on twitter.

James Paliafito (new scout)
The new director of sports science guy
Sheldon Keefe
Andrew Brewer (Red Wings Assistant)

Seems like announcements for Keefe and the new assistant coach coming soon.

Have the Ducks released their injuries yet? I'm interested in seeing if that knee on Perry in the last game of the Calgary series actually resulted in anything.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Griffins are out of the playoffs.

Bring on Blashill, Detroit!

So much bluster about the stupid Dean Blundell "rumor". Leafs aren't getting another Top 5 pick in this draft. GMs aren't that stupid.

Since when is he supposed to have insiders anyway?

He wasn't even involved in sports radio before this year was he?
