Signing one #4 defender is "building a defense core" now?

There has actually been quite a makeover on D.

Stars beginning of 2014-2015 season

Goligoski-Daley
Benn-Dillion
Jokipakka-The Walking Corpse of Sergei Gonchar
Connauton/Oleksiak

Texas: Klingberg, Honka
IR: Nemeth

*Fun Note: All 8 (9 including Nemeth who didn't get to play till later but had earned a spot) of these d-men on the Dallas roster are/were left handed shots. Things went about as well as expected :/

Stars entering 2015-2016 season

Goligoski-Klingberg
Oduya-Demers
Nemeth-Jokipakka/Oleksiak
Benn/Oleksiak

Texas: Johns, Lindell, Honka

*Klingberg and Demers are RH. Johns is RH and the way Nill talks about him there is a chance he makes the team out of camp or at least is the first call up. He is eligible for waivers so he probably gets sent down regardless until they find out who on the Oleksiak/Jokipakka/Benn carousel is worth keeping (if any).

An AAV of $6.875 for a guy who's 31 and hasn't crossed the 50-point mark since 2011 is a bit much, I think.

But those intangibles.

 

[Merguson]

Straying from the bubble didn't go well for me.

Also, KEEEEEESSSSEEEELLL D:

And he hits more than any human can withstand.

Just stay in here friend

 

[MetatronM]

Jesper Fast - 2 years, $950k AAV
JT Miller - 1 year, $874k

That means all Rangers RFAs are signed except for Derek Stepan.

Assuming Oscar Lindberg makes the cut, the Rangers are currently at a 21-man roster with about $6.75m in cap space for the 22nrd man.

 

[TurtleSnatcher]

As long as Klingberg plays like last year, Dallas is stacked at D.

IMO they're stacked everywhere but in net.

Hoping net presence gets better. We brought in a new goalie coach. I believe it's the same that made Steve Mason stop sucking.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Sure, let's waste money (which we have no cap left) on a guy who won't play.

It's not even a million. If I were a player I'd read that as an org taking care of their own and one that won't break promises.

Pretty much a drop in the bucket and I'm not sure it'll inconvenience any further important signings.

This isn't bad loyalty like the Richards deal at least. I still hope LA gets reamed with that.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Justin Schultz being paid 3.9 million? :lol Barrie is going to bend us over now.

Worried about keeping Barrie EJ and Mac. Need to ship out some dead weight.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

And he hits more than any human can withstand.

What deal did they have?

 

[Marvie_3]

What deal did they have?

$399 for a 1TB system, Halo MCC, Borderlands collection, and 1 year of xbox live.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Habs sign Tinordi for 1 Year


We got Groot!

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

$399 for a 1TB system, Halo MCC, Borderlands collection, and 1 year of xbox live.

Damn, that's actually really tempting.

 

[Red_Man]

Tinordi needs to go through waivers to go to the AHL which will never happen. Time for him to step up or it's over, although the D is already pretty crowded. No idea what happens with him now.

Still a waste even if we can put it all in the minors, but still we are over the cap with some restricted guys we still have to sign, so right now every dollar matters at the moment.

 

[Marvie_3]

The deal ended a couple hours ago

Had no idea he needed to go through waivers. I don't think he ever looked out of place whenever he was up, but looked slower after his injury. He's a hundred times better than Emelin anyway, damn it.

Hmm...wonder if Holland would have to go the Chicago route and get rid of some nice young players or trade away something of value like a pick for someone else to take Cleary's contract on.

 

[Red_Man]

Had no idea he needed to go through waivers. I don't think he ever looked out of place whenever he was up, but looked slower after his injury. He's a hundred times better than Emelin anyway, damn it.

Him, Bournival and Thomas all need to go through waivers to go back down to the AHL. I think Thomas might be able to make it unclaimed, but I don't see either Bournival or Tinordi making it. D is so clogged right now, doesn't seem like he has a spot on this team anymore. He played well when he was up, I don't get it.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Zach Sill signed with the Caps on a two-way deal.

Maybe we're gonna trade someone. Who needs Defenceman?

This is the line up I want

Subban- Markov
Beaulieu-Petry
Tinordi-Pateryn

Where's Emelin

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

I know, I would have actually been tempted to get an XBONE after not really wanting one is all.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Where's Emelin

In the minors, where he belongs.

 

[lamaroo]

Where's Emelin

Traded to the Caps.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Oh.

Traded to the Caps.

LA-bros.

I just took a feature job that starts on Friday. I know nothing about it.


Also, how much is Kesler's extension.

Six years, $41.25 million.

[TheKaeptain]

Six years, $41.25 million.

Not bad.

 

[Calamari41]

Not bad.

As I said before, it's an overpayment but way better than not having him locked in during the next 3ish seasons.

 

[TheKaeptain]

As I said before, it's an overpayment but way better than not having him locked in during the next 3ish seasons.

Yeah I think that's what they were thinking. He brings too much to the faceoff game to let him walk and have him end up on another Western team.

 

[kingslunk]

I wont be surprised if the ducks win the cup next year -_-

It's going to suck.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

It's going to suck.

How about anyone but Hawks or Kings for next year please?

 

[RC]

Yeah it sure would suck having Kesler play for another western conference team.

 

[TheKaeptain]

How about the Kings next year? Then they can just chill for awhile after that?

 

[kingslunk]

How about anyone but Hawks or Kings for next year please?

Stars then.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Stars then.

Sure.

I wouldn't mind.

Heck.

I want a Team that hasn't won a cup yet

 

[Alligatorjandro]

I don't have anymore faith in the ducks.

[Foggy]

How are they going to replace Voynov's competitive edge and Richards' networking?

 

[iLLmAtlc]

Kings are probably doing it, they still have the sc winning team in their primes. These guys beat the cap circumventing hawks before they blew it up, still the only team to do so since 2013.

 

[Marvie_3]

How about Hawks for next year please?

Agreed.

Check out this bitchin' cake, you guys.

Braden is one lucky motherfucker.

What are some of your favorite cakes?

I didn't know Marvie's name was Braden I thought it was Marvin, happy birthday Marvie_3
