Hey did you guys know the Penguins traded a future skilled player and current kind of skilled player for a guy that's not an NHLer? Cool poo poo, good trade on their part of getting rid of some of that depth for no reason at all.

They didn't trade a future skilled player. This trade is bad because Reaves is a negative player. That's it. Sundquist is not a potential skilled NHLer and the guy they were going to pick at 31 wasn't any more likely to be a skilled NHLer than the guy they picked at 51. (there's a good chance it was the same guy being picked either way, team draft boards are weird like that sometimes).

Helene St. James, who essentially writes on behalf of Holland, suggested the Red Wings go after Vanek and one of Daley or Girardi. So, no, I'm not excited for free agency.

I'm curious to see what Calgary does with their remaining cap space (15M). I'd think they're re-signing Bennett and Chiasson, probably not Versteeg (or if they do it's hopefully for less money) or almost definitely not Elliott. If he wasn't going after such a HUGE contract I'd have interest in Radulov, but that's a mighty long deal for a 30 year old. a false posted:is nashville letting mike fisher walk. I believe the story circulating during the finals was the finals were it for him, win or lose

I'm back from Rhode Island. I just want everyone to know that I was driving in Mass. listening to the draft on the radio when Detroit was on the clock and I was yelling/chanting "RASMUSSEN" for a solid 60 seconds before they announced the pick and then I nearly pissed myself laughing

Considering the going rate for guys like Hall, Eberle, and Hamonic, I'm hoping they work some magic with someone like Galchenyuk or Mackinnon or Landeskog. Please no more old guys. Shattenkirk is cool because he'll turn 35 at the very end of a seven year deal, which is also two years after the CBA expires. They've got the cap room to sign him in the 7m range.

That's what I said except you took out the part where the guys St Louis got might be good (because they might be good)? There's also a difference between sure he might've been available at 51 and he might not be better than the guy at 51 but either way he's a guy projected to go in the top 20 who fell to 31 and was ranked much, much higher on some lists. The Blues might've just stolen a guy and gotten Reaves off their roster at the same time.

Holland would take a high draft pick and immediately trade it for another 3rd line grinder. He'd toss more into the deal if the guy was Michigan-born. E: Oh hey the babby schenn thing. I don't mind Philly offloading him for picks since it's not like they're in win-now mode anyway. Yeah Lehtera isn't great but Schenn was goddamn awful at 5v5 and from what I can tell, Lehtera is at least a touch better there. He's drat sure not replacing Schenn on the power play, that's for sure (I'm guessing one of the younger guys will be headed to his spot), but even if the power play takes a hit overall it's not as if we're aiming to be a contender this year anyway.

It's not even tanking to just roll the young kids out there and see how they do. What you shouldn't do is go out and sign a bunch of middling players who will make the team slightly more competitive and end up with a lower draft pick as a result. It's just slowing down the process and taking roster spots from other players. Oh well, I fully expect 2 years of Jiri Hudler or and Giradi come July 1

Nolan Patrick is not a replacement for Brayden Schenn in 2017-18. Maybe in a few years, but he's more than likely going to peak at a player marginally above Schenn's level as it is. I just figured this was a straight mix things up just because Flyers move.

Oh yeah I missed all the talk about that. What the hell was the point of trading Brayden Schenn? He's 25 and reliably scores 20+ a season. Over the last four seasons he's top 50 in total goals scored. I mean I get that he does a lot of it on the PP but so what? Goals are goals. It just didn't make any sense to me but I see people saying it's a win for Philly.

Nah they could make a WC spot, even with the current blue line and goaltending, but I get the feeling this year is largely to see who makes the team out of camp/preseason. Hextall's still in the long game but I get the feeling now is the time they're going to start moving up more of the prospects from juniors or the Phantoms and finally let them get some experience.

I think Hextall wanted the picks more than anything. E: Charlie O'Connor has a good breakdown of it quote:And this is where the Flyers’ current situation comes into play. The heart of this deal is an assumption from Hextall that the short term downgrade from Schenn to Lehtera is outweighed by the long-term value of two additional first round picks. If the Flyers were in the hunt for a Stanley Cup title, this wouldn’t be a smart move to make, as maximizing on-ice value in the here and now wins out in those situations. But no one is realistically expecting a team that missed the playoffs last season and will be breaking in between three and six rookies to be a title contender in 2017-18.

I mean, I guess that makes sense to me. Most players don't turn into 20 goal scorers though and I think having two "maybes" is worse than one sure thing. I suppose Hextall could always use the other 1st rounder as part of a deal or something. bewbies posted:Am unexcited about Brayden Schenn at that salary for that long. Seems fine to me. 5mil or whatever is maybe a bit much, but not offensively so, and he'll only be 28 when it ends so St. Louis is still getting some of his best years.

The flyers aren't in win-now mode though (the blues may as well be), so near-term goal scoring doesn't do a lot for them anyway when they're still calling up more rookies and working out the rebuild. Brayden Schenn's a good player but I don't think he's quite been a "core" guy or however it's phrased these days. Also apparently Steve Mason is still a possibility to come back because that whole hilarious saga refuses to die.

At this point Hak doesn't seem like he's been given a lot of choice.

Schenn has been, at best invisible on 5-5 for multiple seasons, so a lot of people have soured on him. Schenn for 2 first round picks is a win.

I get the feeling Hak survives the season unless it's an absolute disaster. I mean yeah he's made plenty of weird decisions lately but it's not as if the last couple seasons have mattered much anyway in the big picture. Hextall's been more than patient with him but I'd have to imagine at this point there has to be some progress shown for the season.

Here's a list of the players up for HHOF induction today, and my thoughts: Lock: Selanne Should be in already: Recchi, Kariya, Barrasso Possible: Alfredsson, Fleury, Andreychuk No Way: Joseph, Roenick You can look over the whole list here: https://www.hhof.com/mobile/html/Induction/ind17prologEligibility.html I am pretty big on Kariya. Maybe I am looking at him too fondly with nostalgia, but there was a five-year period where he was definitely one of the top-5 players in the league. Maybe his case for the Hall is better if he actually wins the Hart over Hasek in '97, and if he gets 11 more points to hit 1000, but I don't think those things should hinder him. I am also not really a small Hall guy.
