Beagle!

Isn't that better than what Edmonton offered?

That's why Florida thought they were getting him.

There are only two problems with it, though: 1) Hayes is an RFA who would have probably cost at least as much as Talbot's contract did while still leaving the goalie spot open, and 2) Florida is in the East, Edmonton is in the West.

 

[ZeroGravity]

It's looking more and more likely that Yzerman won't do anything with Matt Carle. Fuck my life.

 

[Cake Boss]

I can see Bran Morray signing P.A Parenteau.

Hes a local guy, could be had for cheap, fits the top 6 forward mantra, and he tried to sign him a couple of years ago.

 

[Curufinwe]

Carle for MacDonald.

 

[Cake Boss]

Carle for Cowen + Philips.

Makes sense, didn't know Jimmy was up for a new contract.

It's always fun when brothers get to play together though

Ooof at dat Niemi contract.

DAL signs Niemi three years, $4.5M AAV.

[SmackCrackleNPop]

Is Kessel the guy in the center or the donkey?

 

[Calamari41]

Is Kessel the guy in the center or the donkey?

Kessel is the guy in the center. The guy on the donkey is the Toronto media. Or something.

The donkey is The Put-Upon Leafs Fans.

The imp caressing Kessel-god's folds is, of course, Quick.

 

[zroid]

Dallas has $10.4 million per year committed to two goalies now... that's kind of a lot

 

[bonesmccoy]

Someone with the requisite skills needs add the faces of Kessel, Shanahan, Babcock, Bozak, Kadri etc to this. And the caption STYLE ON 'EM.

Meltdown prone 1A, Shaky as balls 1B.

Jesu Christo...

If there are any takers for Lehtonen, Dallas will send him there most likely.

Antti Niemi is the goaltender of the future, today!

 

[Red_Man]

I agree. Frolik is a solid two way guy. Guys who score 30 goals are really hard to get in FA.

I agree, which is why I think Bergevin tries to fill that hole through a trade. He doesn't chase guys on July 1.

Kave and I are the tigers right?

 

[Pikma]

Fuck me is this a nightmare? 10+ millions and no guarantee of good goaltending, what the fuck is happening?

The only reasonable explanation I can think of is that they want to get rid of Lehtonen in the not-so-distant future.

 

[Silexx]

Holy shit, Kings just terminated Richards' contract.

 

[ZeroGravity]

http://kings.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=772865

So, uh, the Kings aren't buying out Richards, but terminating his contract?

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Kings just terminated Richard's contract. Won't comment why at this time.

@LAKings: The #LAKings have issued the following statement and will not comment any further at this time. https://t.co/DztxlmWdQX

 

[Calamari41]

Kave and I are the tigers right?

Without a doubt, putting all of the weight onto your shoulders. And also being felines.

 

[calder]

Holy shit!

 

[ActStriker]

...what did Richards do?

 

[Syrinx]

oh dear.

 

[zroid]

what the fuck????

 

[Unhandled Exception]

sounds like the perfect excuse to double his doughnut intake

He'll at least sprinkle whey powder on them now though

 

[Fata1moose]

This will be interesting, seems likely Richards will fight the contract termination.

 

[Calamari41]

I love it.

 

[Cake Boss]

Bruins will now try to trade for Richards.

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

wow, didn't even know that was a thing. I wonder what reasoning they have. Must be bad.

I guess this saves LA from paying him money or having it hit against the cap.

I guess Mike Richards wasn't cut out for the Ilya Bryzgalov lifestyle.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Cocaine is a helluva drug.

 

[Jblanks]

Wow.

 

[zroid]

Maybe this is why Lombardi didn't use a compliance buyout...

 

[Acid08]

Kings org prolly cooked up some bullshit to get him on. Throw the entire organization in jail.

 

[Marvie_3]

Rundblad re-signed for 2 years. meh.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Holy shit!

They must of found the crack pipes in his hockey skates

 

[bonesmccoy]

Whoa! What does this mean for the Kings cap?

 

[ZeroGravity]

Whoa! What does this mean for the Kings cap?

Assuming they win the legal battle that's inevitably coming, he'd be off their cap entirely.

 

[Fata1moose]

Fuck now they can re-sign Sekera.

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

Lombardi moved some 'evidence' from Jeff Carter's locker to Mike Richards.

Fuck now they can re-sign Sekera.

I think Sekera is looking for $6-7 million though.

 

[calder]

They must have something concrete. Maybe a drug test failure? Those aren't made public unless it's PED related right?

It can't just be "he promised he'd work out in the summer".
