dlbalr Posted July 5, 2013 Author Share Posted July 5, 2013 Did Feaster just trade for a guy who was recently on waivers? LOL I feel so bad for the Flames. Feaster is HORRIBLE. Yes; yes he did. I'm glad I'm not the only one who had that thought spring to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Could Feaster be any more of a clown? My goodness, it's as though he's Reggie Houle long-lost soul brother, trapped plying his incompetence in a cap system. What do we think about Clarkson? Would we want that deal on our team?

HabsTrick450 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Lapierre signs 2 years for a total of 2.2 million $ with St. Louis! I at least hope Bergevin made a call because for this cheap, he would have been a perfect fit with the Habs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habsfan84 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Ryder also signs pretty cheap in Jersey. 3.5 million isn't all that bad for a two year contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trizzak Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Iginla to Boston. That's kind of funny. But only if he really declines hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazy26 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Iginla to Boston. That's kind of funny. But only if he really declines hard. Or if Pittsburgh eliminates Boston in the playoffs next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 Edmonton acquires David Perron, another small, uni-dimensional offensive winger, not exactly an area of need for them. I'm curious to see what they gave up here. Edit: It's Paajarvi and a 2nd, not bad. (I'm not sure Paajarvi can be the top six forward he was talked up as when he was picked.)

dlbalr Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 Salary dump? I'm thinking so. The Blues aren't usually a cap team and they still have Stewart and Pietrangelo (plus Paajarvi) to sign with about $13 million left in space. Looking at this...they're probably going to be a cap team this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbp Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Ryan White? What is he trying too get? Also, about Winnipeg is it that these people just don't like being in a small city/high pressure market? I mean Atlanta to Winnipeg is a big change of scenery... or is it a bigger problem within the organization and how they handle players? Anyone know anything?

I mean Atlanta to Winnipeg is a big change of scenery... or is it a bigger problem within the organization and how they handle players? Anyone know anything? I know nothing about it, but I do remember that when the Peg was brought back into the league some mutterings were heard about how the city would have a ton of problems being competitive for UFAs, just because it's...well, Winnipeg. I don't want to slag anyone's home town, but think about it, if you're a multi-millionaire athlete in a league with towns like NY, Toronto, LA, etc., none of the prairie franchises are liable to be your preferred destination, and Winnipeg in particular is known for its horrendous climate, etc.. So players not being particularly enthused about staying there may be a factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mineral Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Kovalchuk announcements retirement....from the NHL. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=427507 Holy f-ing eff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeLassister Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 had to check in a english to french dictionnary for "heresy" and then in a french dictionnary for "hérésie" But yeah, I believe heresy is possible in our hockey world. Just imagine if 4-5 actuals NHL owners sell their team and go buy some European teams, joined by Balsilie, Cuban, 3-4 Arabic oil magnates who sudently like hockey, etc... Crazy, would not be fun for the NHL, but... how's this so impossible ? Every empire can fall. I'll even push my luck and make a Nostradamus prediction here : In 2025, at least one other league in Europe will be attracting big players. You read it here. BOOOM !

Machine of Loving Grace Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I already pitched the idea elsewhere that Fox Sports should cover all KHL games and have Jay Onrait and Dan O'Toole be the hosts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 Patrice Bergeron gets an 8 year extension with a cap hit of $6.5M. Boston has a ton of money locked up in their core - looking ahead to two years from now, they have over $42 million committed to eight players. Also, about half their team has a no-trade or no-move clause in their deals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Sounds like us a couple of years back. Hopefully their core is a little better than was ours - which is now mostly gone and bought out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little better? I'm hoping that their core is worse, given that they're a division rival and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many silly decisions here, but I think Chiarelli is much smarter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
