dlbalr Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 As is our usual custom, here's the thread to discuss the many signings around the league from today. (And boy, have there been a ton of them already...) Any Montreal signings/trades will get their own thread. Biggest surprises so far - Perron only gets $4M from St. Louis while Stastny is Vegas-bound apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Stastny to Vegas on a 3-year deal for 6.5. Gee...that wouldn't have been terrible as a patchwork signing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted July 1, 2018 Author Share Posted July 1, 2018 Despite the fourth liners and depth guys getting crazy deals (Roussel, Beagle, Reaves, etc), some of the bigger signings have been reasonable. Philly got van Riemsdyk at 5/35 (less term for a bit more money), Stastny at 3/19.5 (again, less term for more money), and Perron at 4/16 are all not too shabby. In particular, I wonder if van Riemsdyk's deal will impact Pacioretty's asking price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted July 1, 2018 Author Share Posted July 1, 2018 It's probably just a glitch since all of the reserve lists are currently being updated but Joel Armia - who was on Montreal's list two hours ago - is no longer on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait it out 2 years and have Kotkaniemi and poehling as our top 2 centers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobRock Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Plus, you can always include cash as part of the trade. New team picks up half the bonus. As long as the player gets paid, who cares who wrote the cheque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metallica Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Ok ask yourself this question. If Toronto gets Tavares and we get O'Reilly. Do you think we're good enough to beat Toronto Washington Tampa Pittsburgh In a 7 game playoff series? We're just not as deep as they are and i don't see us beating them. So i just don't think we should make that trade. I know anything could happen in a playoff run but we're not a deep team for a playoff run.
