Poile said Del Zotto is not currently a fit for the Preds and they might not give him a qualifying offer.

Hoping Tinordi had disappointing numbers because he's new and didn't get much of a chance to play. The suggestion that Bouillon is not a bad defenseman is troubling.

deafmute posted:Upshall is not very good and has been in decline ever since his knee blew up. He's only signed for one more season but still the Panthers are incredibly thin and could use Vinny more than him. They're like $14million dollars under the cap floor too i think ultimately i would rather just spend money on brad richards and keep my half-decent winger than pick up vinny if i really wanted to hone in on the 34 year old ex-lightning center market Blackbelt Bobman posted:I'll throw up if Miller plays in Vancouver, blech this video is a good representation of what the 14-15 canucks will be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdmYy5YKC1o edit: fixed quote Aye Doc fucked around with this message at 23:43 on Jun 29, 2014 |

I'd rather let MDZ walk than qualify him at a retarded number. Use that money on actual good players. I can live with any outcome but him making about 3 million next year.

why are people so down on ryan miller to vancouver? i don't think he's great or anything but lack/markstrom is about the worst goalie combination i can think of in the nhl. if miller ends up backing up lack who cares? it's not like vancouver have any pressing need for cap space since there's zero decent free agents this summer or next that are likely to sign there and none of their young players save tanev are up for big increases in the next few years same with bolland. if he signs for 7 years at some insane number benning should be fired but if they get him for 3-4 years does it really impact their future that badly? the sedins/burrows/hamhuis/bieksa don't have many seasons left in them and ownership don't have the stomach for a salt the earth style rebuild so building for 3-4 years out isn't really an option for the canucks. may as well try to be competitive over the short term while trying not to compromise the long term

Because being competitive for the short time means jack poo poo for them. Being a 6-7-8 seed and getting a first round exit for the next for seasons just makes the rebuild even more painful when what's left of that core is gone. Miller should sign with a team that needs an established starter to get them over the hump, not a team in roster management hell.

Bolland literally had a tendon severed last season and was routinely taking penalties because even average skaters were blowing past him on his return. I have no doubt that he's going to be rehabbing like a motherfucker this offseason but there isn't a team in the league that actually knows what they're going to get out of him, either short or long term. Seriously, Bolland should be getting the Raymond treatment this offseason, not offers of "only" 4 years. Any sort of term for him is irresponsible.

whatis posted:By the way, because he had a NMC, Ehrhoff had to approve the buyout. After an hour or so of tough introspection, he has reluctantly agreed and the buyout is official this isnt true. players have to be put on waivers for a day if you're buying them out, but you can't usually waive someone with an nmc. if they have one, you can just buy them out without that step. if ehrhoff agreed to anything, it was to waivers (which he probably didnt, as it would be stupid) the talent deficit posted:why are people so down on ryan miller to vancouver? i don't think he's great or anything but lack/markstrom is about the worst goalie combination i can think of in the nhl. if miller ends up backing up lack who cares? it's not like vancouver have any pressing need for cap space since there's zero decent free agents this summer or next that are likely to sign there and none of their young players save tanev are up for big increases in the next few years miller and bolland are loving awful players to give any amount of money to. bolland might be a 4th liner and miller is at best an average goalie. i'd rather lose 82 games than have any of them on the team Verviticus fucked around with this message at 01:20 on Jun 30, 2014 |
