Lurker > Not Dave

nothing is happening

still a few FAs left too. wonder if Doan actually makes a decision tomorrow.

Wouldn't be surprised if Weber got traded within the next few months.

--
ND

you know you still have the two best players in the world right

--
ND

i'd laugh if someone signed every one of Edmonton's awesome young guys to ridiculous offer sheets when they hit RFA status

Hall and Eberle next offseason, Nuge the year after.

--
ND

Interesting offseason so far, and we've still got Nash, Ryan, Bernier, and a bunch more free agents left!

Ott/Pardy to Buffalo for Roy

Looks like a good trade for both sides.

Hudler's a Flame. 4 years, $16M.

--
ND

sad to see Foligno go when Nash isn't coming the other way, but I guess we got a stay-at-home d-man that we needed...

also wish Murray went after Mueller instead of Latendresse.

--
ND

crazy talk

--
ND

So it must be time to ditch Bernier, eh? Get someone young for him and pick up Biron or another seasoned backup instead.

--
ND

Also Crosby's sticking with the $8.7M average... for 12 more years.

--
ND

And Hal Gill gets a 2-year, $4M contract with the Preds.

--
ND

That's a lot of money for Wideman...

Wonder if Calgary is finally able to move Bouwmeester?

--
ND

Apparently Doan will test the free agent market.

--
ND

Awesome, was really hoping Oates and Bure would make it in.

Surprised Sundin beat out Shanahan.

--
ND

They can't afford long term deals with both Suter and Parise.

--
ND

Sutter is pretty much the ideal 3rd-line center. He's fast, is good defensively, and is very solid on the PK. And he costs how much a guy playing that role should be making.

As for Pouliot, don't expect him to play for at least a couple years.

--
ND

also, wouldn't mind signing Evander Kane to an offer sheet, but Winnipeg would clearly match it.

--
ND

I'd take Quick, Lundqvist, Rinne, Howard, Fleury, Miller or Ward over Price, I think.

Add Smith if this turns out to have not been a fluke year caused by playing in an awesome system.

--
ND

my AMP was down to 6 because the old topic purged. come on July 1.

Jimmy Howard is so ignored amongst goalies.

completely agree.

--
ND

Ideally (not including the Suter pipe-dream), I'd like to sign someone like Carle, then roll with Karlsson/Gonchar/Cowen/Phillips/Carle/Wiercioch and re-sign Carkner as a 7th man.

UFA d-men, in order of 11-12 cap hit (highest to lowest):

Rozsival
Wideman
Kubina
Spacek
Kuba
Sarich
Finger (hah)
Suter
Carle
Salvador
B Allen
Eaton
Corvo
Gill
Martinek
Colaiacovo

Foster
Campoli
Souray
Jurcina
Staios
B Clark
Bouillon
R Jones
O'Brien
Lundin
Vandemeer

Commodore (signing him should be a firing on the spot)
Gilroy
O'Donnell
Eminger
Mottau
Brookbank
Rome
Lepisto
Meech
Carkner
Lebda
Garrison
Sloan
Woywitka
Stoner

and then a few (more) inconsequential no-names

some of those guys are gonna get paid way more than they're worth due to this shortage, aren't they

--
ND

Man, a lot of teams still need to add a couple d-men.

--
ND

you just a

--
ND

I guess the current theory is that they're gonna try to sign him long-term despite the RFA status.

--
ND

I would have thought Price would be between 5 and 5.5.

That'd have him with a lower (or equal) cap hit than Rinne, Lundqvist, Luongo, Bryz, Ward, Miller, Backstrom, Fleury and Kipper.

The averaged salary taken for compensation is the first five years of the contract, not the entire term. $40M over 8 years would trigger a 4 first round pick compensation.

oh, right yeah. his example was poor.

--
ND

I haven't found a non-wiki compensation table, but this has significantly different amounts than seven years ago:

--
ND

I hope some teams do try to woo Schneider with an offer sheet, though. Vancouver will obviously match it, and it wouldn't be anywhere close to the ~$4.7M required to go one step above just being a 1st- and 3rd-rounder as compensation.

Then there's the chance they do somehow get stuck with Luongo and you might actually get a solid young goalie for pretty cheap.

--
ND

Yeah, the Jets will be fine. If the alternative is a Mason / Gustavsson duo, I'll take Pav at 3.9.

This is a funny idea. Burke would never pull something like this, though.

"Let's say Carey Price is at 7 years and $6 million a year. Devan Dubnyk's going to hit $3 million. Tuukka Rask is going to hit $3 million. Cory Schneider is going to hit $3 million. There's a new wave of goalies taking over No. 1 starting jobs in the NHL from the older guard. Between those goalies, statistically and in experience at a No. 1 goalie, Pavs should be slotted under Price," said [Pavelec's agent] Walsh.

$3M backups.

Really, Scott Howson?

alright

--

Avs re-signed Duchene for 2 years, $7 million.

Leafs traded the rights to Gustavsson to the Jets for a conditional 7th rounder next year.

--
ND

I'm happy with the Sens grabbing Ceci.

Overall, not the most exciting draft, though.

--
ND

bleh

haha, at least Hank dropped an f-bomb

come on quick

get off my ****ing tv, Nickelback

Giroux over Rinne for the NHL '13 cover.

thought Tallon was gonna win GM

--

so good

--

Great to see Karlsson get the Norris. I'm pumped for him.

Hopefully he gets the next seven!

--
ND

how about a similar trade, but for Bobby Ryan?

--
ND

(it'll never happen regardless)

--

The first guy is the Sens' number one forward prospect and scored the gold-medal winner in the World Juniors this year.

Also trade rumors

To Ottawa:
Rick Nash

To Columbus:
Mika Zibanejad
Nick Foligno
Ben Bishop

I'd take it.

Wouldn't give up anything more.

--
ND

Not gonna mind watching Karlsson on my blueline for at least the rest of the decade.

Also, it's being reported that Selanne's gonna play another year.

You could try removing your home network from Control Panel\Network and Internet\Manage Wireless Networks and then re-adding it manually.

augh

Apparently NYI won't be re-signing Parenteau. Wouldn't mind the Sens grabbing him to chuck on a line with Spez.
