Is Subban a Duck yet?

Almost, brosef. Just need Red and Schuey to say their goodbyes.

Tampas drafting strategy

Damn this is amazing

 

[Calamari41]

You guys are welcome to follow him down to Orange County. Join us for funnel cakes, carne asada fries, and guacamole as far as the eye can see.

We'll welcome you with the beach bonfire to end all beach bonfires

 

[Cake Boss]

Damn Tampa, they even have the calculations done for their odds and the teams odds on the value of their picks. Got damn!

I am hopeful that SNES did just 10% of that homework.

 

[FUBAR McDangles]

extra 5m cap space.

Fletcher was quoted as saying that the only way he would buyout Vanek was if he had a trade going on that required Wild to bring in extra salary, or if they are going after a free agent.

I swear by the moon and the stars in the sky that if Fletcher goes out and gets some other big expensive free agent I'm going to be pissed.

[Cake Boss]

The Sharks have offered the rights to James Reimer if anyone is interested while the Calgary Flames seem to be the Milan Lucic front runner

Pugnacity

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Vanek seems like a good short term get for somebody on the cheap.

Benning must be so confused by those numbers.

Cheap, unless you're the Rangers. Then you'll give him an albatross contract.

Calgary given permission to talk to Bishop

Interesting.

HAPPENING

 

[Heretic]

Lots of chatter but no action! Fucking teasers...

 

[ZeroGravity]

Calgary given permission to talk to Bishop

Time to kiss the playoffs goodbye for next year.

 

[imBask]

Has Subban left Montreal yet?

 

[Smiley90]

Wait, why would Calgary be talking to Bishop himself, I'm confused. About whether he'd be convinced to waive his NMC? They need a goalie desperately but I'm not sure they can afford Bishop... should've outbid the Leafs for Andersen.

I wonder if they'd be interested in Miller..........

Bishop has only one year left on his contract. Anyone willing to pay the high price for him is going to want to know if they can get him signed.

They are talking to bishop to see if they could agree on an extension

Makes it seem price for bishop is high

He'll be talking extension. No one is going to give up a big pick for a player that is going to leave in a year. Especially a goalie.

this is just to convince him to waive his NMC?

edit: ok, for the extension

so a) NMC waive and b) whether after a trade he's willing to instantly extend? I guess that makes sense, thanks

We have Stone Cold Steve Mason to be tradeable. Obviously not the quality of Bishop but still a good goaltender.

:looool

 

[SCHUEY F1]

:looool

Haha, awesome. Love Lucic

 

[CreeperBlocks]

:looool

I don't think Jim Benning would use a gaming keyboard.

 

[Red_Man]

Was talk earlier in the week of Montreal interested in both the 3rd and 4th overall draft picks. #NHLDraft

Wut

We're definitely sticking to the 9th pick aren't we?

 

[zroid]

sooooon

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Wut

3rd AND 4th? WHAT

 

[Smiley90]

Wut

We're definitely sticking to the 9th pick aren't we?

well to be fair they're likely not THAT interested in the 3rd but because of rumours that the 3rd is in play in general they might be considering it (e.g. price for the 3rd might not be a lot higher than for the 4th depending on the team's willingness to trade).

The Oilers should really trade down to 6 and pick Juolevi but god knows what they're doing.

I will look forward to the Canucks hopefully picking Dubois or Tkachuk....

 

[bonesmccoy]

Do we have NHLGaffers there? Stasis?

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Wow Tampa did their homework. I may have mentioned this before but while they need the cap space, trading away Bishop when Vasilevskiy only has a small body of work may hurt them in the long run.

 

[trifelife]

I don't think Jim Benning would use a gaming keyboard.

That's definitely his writing though, so it's gotta be real.

 

[demosthenes]

I have a cousin at the fan fest right now, who's going. Sadly I've had a busy day of work and I'm about to leave soon but I'm not planning on going tonight. Need to do some laundry before a wedding tomorrow.

 

[DopeyFish]

3rd AND 4th? WHAT

Montreal is almost like half flirting with a rebuild here lol

John Shannon suggests if all else fails, calgary will go with howard... 7x7 mil ask

I'd die laughing

 

[Zombie James]

Bishop wants 7M/yr, ha.

 

[Line_HTX]

What arena is that?

 

[imBask]

yes, rebuilding with a core in their prime, now that's a plan

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Montreal is almost like half flirting with a rebuild here lol

Really interesting that if we are.

Buffalo.

Calgary keeps talking with columbus on draft floor

Going after the third?

Hopefully not your own wedding
