Thankfully they don't post here during the regular season, so we won't get page long spams of it anymore.

Too cruel, man.

well at least it's an improvement to what we were bombarded with before

Pens-GAF has been tame for at least a year, friend.

...and people still thinking that MAF is an issue haven't been paying attention to recent performance. The Pens' problem isn't goaltending now. It's scoring and staying healthy. Defense has been decent too.

 

[zroid]

jesus fuck Bruins

as bad as the Kessel trade was at least we're not the Bruins

 

[Terrordactyl]

I'm really confused about what's going on in Boston, like the Hamilton fleecing was one thing but every move since then has been perplexing

And now they're apparently going to trade for jimmy Hayes, they'll probably give up Rask and a 4th

 

[Syrinx]

In the biggest news of the day, Carolina has signed Riley Nash to a 1 year deal worth $1.15 mil.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Tampa sign a good player pls

John Ferguson Jr. has gone crazy

Can't do anything unless they get rid of a contract (cough*Carle*cough*)

Team is pretty much set going into next season.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Tampa sign a good player pls

You guys can put Drouin in the lineup next year.

It's like getting a free player!

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Tampa sign a good player pls

You kinda did with Condra

 

[Terrordactyl]

As easy as it is to talk shit on the leafs today, I think they're headed in the right direction, next move should be phaneuf.

 

[Red_Man]

Lame day for the Habs, but I expected moves to be made through trade rather than UFA signings anyways, and Bergevin has all summer to do that. As long as we dodge the Belesky bullet, that's the main thing.

New York Rangers ‏@NYRangers 3m 3 minutes ago
OFFICIAL: #NYR have acquired goaltender Magnus Hellberg (@Mulle45) from Nashville in exchange for a 6th rd pick in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft.


Precisely what we needed: more Scandinavian goaltenders and fewer draft picks!

yeah, let's send him back where he came from!

TRADE

Pierre LeBrun ‏@Real_ESPNLeBrun
Pending trade call, Florida trades Jimmy Hayes to Boston for Reilly Smith

 

[DopeyFish]

TRADE

i don't understand the thinking here

 

[Razorskin]

TRADE

Ew, Dale wins this one for me.

 

[Red_Man]

But but but Rielly Smith was a really great piece in that Seguin trade that totally wasn't a grade A fleecing

 

[CreeperBlocks]

TRADE

Who Benefits in this Trade?

 

[Razorskin]

i don't understand the thinking here

Hayes is half a foot taller.

 

[Yawnier]

TRADE

Weird

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Slight upgrade. Hayes coming off a 19 goal year with inflated shooting %. Word was he was asking for a lot as an RFA. Happy to get Smith who is reasonable for more years.

 

[MetatronM]

I hope Boston wins the Atlantic next season just for the comedy of it.

Spoiler

Then I hope they lose to the wild card team in the first round. I'm not THAT cruel.

 

[ZeroGravity]

Florida also takes on the contract of Marc Savard in the trade.

 

[Terrordactyl]

yeah, let's send him back where he came from!

For your 2016 and 2017 first rounders?

 

[DopeyFish]

For 2016 and 2017 first rounders?

Sure

Even though i'd be happy with a 6th or 7th rounder

 

[Razorskin]

Savard ):


Sanjuro is sorely missed.

If we're getting johnny hockey and hamilton... maybe

Nick Kypreos ‏@RealKyper
Sounding like Beleskey left more money on table to become part of #Bruins. 5 yrs could come just under Frolik 21.5m #Flames deal

It's like he's paying money to get on the Titanic.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Taking Savard to help Boston get Belesky. Like taking off the seatbelt before impact.

 

[Samyy]

So let me get this straight, the Bruins dumped Smith for an inferior player so they could sign 30 pointer Belesky?

 

[lamaroo]

Lame day for the Habs, but I expected moves to be made through trade rather than UFA signings anyways, and Bergevin has all summer to do that. As long as we dodge the Belesky bullet, that's the main thing.

They didn't give Frolik or Beleskey $4+ million, so it's a positive.

There is still hope they sign Franson to 6x5.5

 

[ZeroGravity]

Habs sign Mark Barberio. One year, two-way.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Beleskey to Boston for under $4 mil

EDIT: 5 yrs

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Habs sign Mark Barberio. One year, two-way.

Who?


Who??


AHL Stuff?

 

[ZeroGravity]

Who?


Who??


AHL Stuff?

He was on the Lightning last year. Our 8th defenseman. Worse than Sustr.

 

[Plinko]

I find it interesting that Babcock leaves and all of a sudden we get our top targets. There were rumors before that guys wouldn't sign because they don't like playing for him.

 

[Razorskin]

Ew


Stay in the AHL.

 

[Samyy]

Huh
Both PAP and Hunwick signed to play for Babcock

 

[Alucard]

Regardless of what else the Penguins do this off-season, I'm very interested to see how Kessel does alongside either Malkin or Crosby. I'm hopeful they'll at least be fun to watch this year and that they'll be able to generate more offense when it counts.

Not worried about the lack of depth? The NHL is probably the furthest away from top line domination it has ever been.

This also reminds me, the Avs made the worlds worst decision by signing comeau, and he robbed them blind. Kid works hard but he just isn't any good, the blight of the Flames a couple years back. The only reason he has even decent stats is completely due to Crosby. Avs will regret this decision.

Aw Gross.


Stay with the Ice Caps Please

 

[Fata1moose]

Huh

Babcock pulling those mediocre to bad players.

 

[Red_Man]

Bergevin's hard on for depth D is out of control

The Belesky deal isn't awful, but I'd rather give our kids a shot in the lineup than him.

 

[lupinko]

The rebuild is real! Too bad Phil didn't work out.

 

[Alucard]

I find it interesting that Babcock leaves and all of a sudden we get our top targets. There were rumors before that guys wouldn't sign because they don't like playing for him.

Babcock strikes me as very professional and tactical. I could see immature or hard-headed guys not wanting to play for someone like that.

 

[Coldnoodle]

$3.8 for five years is official Beleskey contract

Meh.

 

[ZeroGravity]

$3.8 for five years is official Beleskey contract

Has a no move clause the first two years as well.
