Well, I guess the Avs have a new goalie and the Rags have one less goalie, two more thirds, and an extra fifth round pick.

Not entirely sure how I feel about this. I mean I am happier about this than paying Kuemper what he is expected to get after last year. Not sold on Georgiev overall. In the Avs defensive system though he doesn't have to be great all the time just make a few big saves once and a while.

George was hit or miss last year. Some games he was as good as Igor, some he was slightly better than a moist towelette. He was an unrestricted FA so conventional wisdom is he was walking and we got "something" I feel he is better than an unknown pick above 50 in the 2nd & 3rd rounds of the future.
I will miss him, he was overall reliable.

Wow...Hawks unload Debrincat, who is a legit, scorer...underrated defensively too...to the Sens. Sure, they get draft capital but not nearly enough, IMO.
Dach, is also traded. His return is not bad. But, what does that say about a former #3 overall pick?
Hawks are in for a real long rebuild.

More craziness...Hawks pick up another first-rounder by flipping their second rounder to TO and taking on Mrazek's contract.
Senior Moderator
If Mrazek was that bad on a good Leafs team, well, he's going to be exactly what Chicago wanted in tanking big-time next season...
I won't be surprised if Serious and Kane both waive their no-moves to get out of this and go to a contender. I would suspect there will be teams who would line up for Toews and Kane to be on their rosters to get them over that hump...still got gas left.

The funniest (saddest)? part of them using ASU's arena is the contract has a clause that the slightest negative occurrence can allow ASU to boot them.

So, yeah...Kane and Toews...likely available as Chicago is daring them to ask to be traded now that the team is stripping it baren...deliberately.
https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/video/co...210231696.html
Bedard or bust?
Not sure but it's going to be a long upcoming season for me...
But, can you imagine Kane reunited with Breadman in NY? Or any contending getting Toews' services and having him anchor their second or third lines? Hory shet.

Not sure what to believe but I'm reading that Malkin may be done with the Pens...really?!?
He's still very good...the Pens are not in the same situation as Chicago and are committed to Letang and obviously, Sid...so, why are they letting go Geno?

I'm not sure what was up with that rumor but I always felt like he would stay. I think we gave him too long but that was the only way to keep him. He's still very good but his play has suffered with the knee surgeries and I'm not sure recycling the same core is really what this team needs right now, but I would have hated seeing him in a different team's sweater

Malkin is a Pen for another 4 years.
Oil re-sign Evander...good luck with that. And Flames are letting Gaudreau hit UFA...

If there is truly a cap hell, well, the VGKs are in it...Max Pacioretty unloaded to Canes for peanuts?

Flames are going down in flames...Gaudreau leaves for nothing and now, Matt Tkachuk wants to take his services back to his home country, the US.

Flames Trade Tkachuk to Panthers for Huberdeau
Wow, blockbuster...Calgary actually made out okay all things considered.
https://www.tsn.ca/matthew-tkachuk-t...ames-1.1828430
The Calgary Flames are dealing the star forward to the Florida Panthers along with a conditional 2025 fourth-round pick in exchange for forwards Jonathan Huberdeau, Cole Schwindt, defenceman MacKenzie Weegar and a conditional 2025 first-round pick, it was announced Friday night.

You replace Goodrow and Matt Kahchuck with Huberdeau and Kadri...it's not terrible. Though, I wish all the teams in that division the best of luck: The road through the Western Conference is going through Denver.

7 years though? I laughed at the Lucic deal, and it looks like he'll be their next captain. Kadri is obviously better than Lucic but 7 years is nuts

Not much you can do when negotiating with the more talented players...they all want term.
