Dan Hamhuis is going UFA. :lol: Benning didn't trade him at the deadline.

I hate the world.

Wasn't the rumor that Dallas made an offer for Hamhuis, but Benning didn't think it was enough so rather than get something for him he got absolutely nothing? I know Hamhuis had the NTC but I thought he waved it for Dallas.

Andrew Ladd is likely going to the Islanders per Friedman

Supposedly it's being reported that Radulov is signing with the Habs?

Yes he should get along famously with Therrien.

It does seem weird that Travis Yost is breaking the Radulov news. He's more of an analytics guy than someone who is known for his connections. But he's usually reliable so :shrug:

So the Isles are going to lose Nielsen and Okposo, and maybe get Ladd? And are also keeping Fred Flintstone?

Seems like the Isles will be bad again and all is right in the world.

Well when the "character issues" are "he's black", it makes sense.

Yeah but "he's black" is the same as "he's Russian" in the NHL.

Good god Ladd: 7 yrs x $5.5M to NYI

That Brouwer deal is just awful. One good postseason nets him $18M over 4 years.

Tampa is doing a good job making sure their superstars are getting paid. Seems better to do that than go after dumb as poo poo UFA signings.

other deals being really, really bad doesn't make another deal good just because it's not bad

You do realize Hedman is like a top 5 D in the NHL right?

I get being suspicious of it if you're a Habs fan, but in a vacuum it's a really good signing.

It just doesn't make sense within the context of "character issues" being a big part of why Subban left.

Caps signed Brett Connolly. I guess for $850k it's a good deal.

What does he bring? Can he play on the third line at all?

Vanek turns into a 2nd or 3rd round pick at the deadline guaranteed if Detroit isn't in the playoffs. Good signing.

lol at thinking the Red Wings will be anything but buyers at the deadline to keep the streak alive

Demers to the Cats. 5 years $4.5M AAV

Seems like the Cats will be good next year

Is there a reason Kris Versteeg isn't signed yet? I thought he was pretty good with Carolina and LA last season and he'd be a perfect fit in the middle six for less than $2M I'm sure.

I guess it just seems weird to me that guys like Versteeg and other decent wingers are overlooked around the league even though they will only command a 1 or 2 year deal at less than $2M. Meanwhile Andrew Ladd, with similar stats, gets a 6 year deal and Matt Martin (who is way worse) gets a 4 year deal.

Maybe there's something I'm missing.

Looking forward to the Ducks not being competitive for years to come.
