I would assume Muzzin walks and the Leafs try to re-sign Barrie.

They'll have an extra 4.5 after they send Ceci packing at the end of the year too

I'm scratching my head with the Blackhawks signing Lehner. Decent Crawford insurance but I can't help but wonder if there's a bigger move coming


Uh Lehner was a legit Vezina candidate last year. The fact that people weren't beating down his door to sign him to a long term deal is amazing to me, but Chicago is a GREAT fit. Crawford looks like he may be donezo. Great signing for Chicago, although they may live to regret not locking him up for longer.

Bobrovsky way overpaid BTW. Panarin too probs.

I mean, he signed for the league minimum to see if there's anything left and if there isn't, he's buried. What's the worst that can happen?

(ok the worst that can happen is Babcock loves the guy and gives him way too much PP time with no results, Marleau-style. But at 1/9th of the cap hit)

Honestly I'm kinda nervous about the Stars. I'm still not convinced Pavelski is a legit great player and not just a product of a good system in San Jose. He's also a lot older than people realize given that he was such a late bloomer.

And yeah, Perry is just nothing at this point.

They really should have tried harder to keep Zucc. He was great in the playoffs for them.

I am just as shocked as you are that Lehner couldn't get a long term deal elsewhere.

I was reading that he turned down 2x5 from the Islanders, just to take 1x5 from Chicago? Something is definitely strange here... and then the Islanders turn around and do 4x5 for Varlamov, what a mess...

His thoughts are there. He was also looking for term and didn't get it. I'm sure he thinks he can play for a longer contract in Chicago.

Another goalie thing that's nuts... McElhinney going to Tampa Bay.

He proved last year he's at least good enough to be part of a good starting tandem, if not a full time #1 starter... so of course he moves on to... being the backup to quite possibly the most solidly locked in #1 goalie in the entire league?

Wut.

Say what you will about Tampa's playoff failure and what their needs may or may not be, but "better backup goalie" was definitely not one of them!

Sportsnet has been cutting people across the board after they realized that they paid too much for the hockey rights and their show is inferior in almost every way to TSN.

The issue is instead of getting rid of guys like Kypreos who is a bargain bin Stephen A, they're letting go of the guys who have been there for years in Grapes and Bob Mccown.

Don Cherry has kind of become annoying to listen to. The farther we get from 70's hockey, the more off-base he gets with him having that attitude towards hockey. He makes it sound like hockey was better in those days, and more people played the right way then, which doesn't exactly sell the current day hockey? He also really has trouble remembering and pronouncing names now, and just doesn't complete sentences or thoughts a lot.

His banter with Ron MacLean was always a hoot though, and I'll miss that if he's done.

And look at how your team capitalized and monetized that, so I mean... who's the real jerk here?

That would be truly terrible unless they really do restrict him to 5 minutes once a week. Like if TSN cuts in on whatever their saturday night programming is with their own "Coach's Corner" at precisely the time CBC would be airing theirs (assuming they even maintain that concept and don't revert to a roundtable panel after the first period)... that would be hilarious.

So Grapes himself just tweeted that he'll he back next year and that Steve Simmons is essentially a clown.

Considering Simmons is the worst reporter on the planet I'd say we already knew the latter.

The fact that it was Steve Simmons reporting it should have been a massive red flag. I'm rather annoyed at myself for even giving it the time of day once it was apparent that dope was the only one reporting that Cherry was out.

I'm sorry you feel that way, I know I sound like a homer, but to me I'm not bothered by it because they aren't going out of their way to humiliate their opponents with it or something. They did a thing to try and give themselves some marketing power and/or a way to entertain the home crowd after a win. Can you blame them? It's a small market team. It's not like it was only don cherry's comments that made it a thing, it merely brought attention to something they were already doing.

Rad, the Blackhawks trade one of their young defenseman prospects that's better than what they have now for some random winger.

I don't think they have a plan to make their defense not suck.

Anyone who has an issue with Nylander wearing 88 is a terrible non-fan anyway.

The number isn't retired, firstly. Also, Lindros was so awful as a Leaf that it doesn't even matter.

This isn't "Nylander chooses number of Leafs legend", it's "Nylander chooses number of guy who played for the Leafs at the end of his career, who probably couldn't even count to 88 by then".
