seemingly the avs only bought out beauchemin because he refused to waive his NMC for the xdraft. there was no other benefit to buying him out because it's a 35+ contract.

Seems spiteful that some of these guys are refusing to waive.

I understand that these clauses were deemed important enough by these players to fight for during contract negotiations, but why choose to die on that sword when there's a close to zero chance of being selected by Vegas? It's puzzling.

is hfboards laggy for any of you? feels like there are too many ads >.<

Your big problem here is visiting HFBoards to begin with.

Doughty: "I think all of us Southern Ontario players, we secretly want to play for the #Leafs, you know, we all have that kind of soft spot"

Not to mention how this has been borne out by history. Elite Ontario-born players like David Clarkson!

That said, I could actually see Tavares signing in Toronto because of their cap space and competitive position. But:

"he's almost certainly going to Toronto"

is the typical Dopey idiocy that we see constantly. Such powerful delusion.

I was kinda shocked that Phaneuf in particular didn't waive his. In his case just last year the Senators had the option of not honouring his NMC (whether or not it's fair that teams have the right to do this after acquiring a player is another thing entirely), and they chose to honour it. You'd think the least he could do is reciprocate a little bit.

Wow Doty + Tavores?

Yup, it's crazy.

Yes, you did. Not sure what your point is.

"illiterate maggot"

What a strange insult

Why does Dopey always have to bring scorn upon all Leafs fans?

I think we have all learned to group him separately. He is his own class. Do not fret.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

lol

 

[Yawnier]

There's four top 6 centers in the lineup. If one of them gets hurt though then Babcock's boy Ben Smith draws into the lineup.

Also unrelated but Blob McKenzie final draft rankings were posted by accident this morning lol.

David Pagnotta @TheFourthPeriod

Among teams that have discussed Tyler Johnson, I'm told Habs were one of them. No indication anything is imminent.

David Pagnotta @TheFourthPeriod

The Habs may have interest in Drouin, but a deal for him involving Galchenyuk is not in the cards for Tampa, per source.

Hmm

Can we see if Montreal would trade Pacioretty for Drouin?

 

[Cake Boss]

Hmm maybe Pierre was talking about a Tyler Johnson for Galchenyuk plus a 1st rounder?

What else would Montreal include in that trade?

Yzerman would take that deal and run.

Whatever happens we'd probably have to make a giant trade and includes Galchenyuk as a Center piece. We need help with our top line long term not short term unless we Tank a few years.

PLEASE NOT TYLER JOHNSON FUCK OFF

So overrated because of that ONE year his stupid line was on fire

Scott Gomez trade 2.0

Phaneuf is not staying or what

 

[dr.rocktopus]

the TSN article points out some similarities to the WCH jerseys (the dimpled shoulders). In the teaser adidas put out there are what looks like...screen printed numbers &#128553;&#128553;&#128553;&#128553;&#128553;

Tyler Johnson? We trying to usher the smurfs-age back in? We like, just finally escaped that.

Holy fuck that would be an atrocious trade. Johnson would bust hard in Montreal, we'd lose a 1st, and AGally playing with Stamkos/Kucherov/Palat? lawd.

Scott Gomez trade 2.0

Pretty much exactly what it would be. Even worse, knowing our league-worst GM, Johnson would receive a shiny new contract extension too.

That's not how it works. The only time the team has the choice of not honoring an NMC is if the player is traded before it has kicked in, like with Mike Richards.

you sure? I saw it reported by media ppl after the trade that the Sens decided to keep the NMC. Maybe they were misinformed too though.

If they're anything like the Flyers beat writers it wouldn't surprise me.

The main guy at CSN Philly tweeted that the Flyers signing Ghost meant he would safe in the expansion draft, like he thought Ghost couldn't be protected as an RFA.

PS
Yawnier, isnt it time you changed your avatar back to something leaf related?

 

[PillarEN]

Housley played for the Sabres. So did Ruff. Expect a long tenure. Couple trips to the conference finals. Maybe one final.

All this depends if they can get a world class goaltender.
