Radulov is great but that makes zero sense for that team.

Maybe they just miss Kovalev.

Sounds like Buffalo is potentially the landing spot for Okposo

And in Jimmy Vesey news:

edit: btw, there was rampant speculation that Vesey and his agent were both in town for the draft, so they've probably already met. I think he signs

They've still got another couple months to work it out, too.

Wings apparently offered Radulov 1 year/$5M.

So either Montreal's going to sign a player with "character issues" after dumping player with "character issues", or Detroit's going to sign an expensive Russian to replace the expensive Russian that just left.

if the Wings get Radulov for 1x5 that's pretty amazing.

Why is Florida dumping a bunch of money on Reimer? DO they think he's the heir apparent to Luongo or something?

probably. Reimer is good. Gives them some time to see which of their marginal prospects can take the reins.

I have to say the best move so far (outside of Campbell and maybe Reimer) is Vancouver getting Eriksson. He's only 30 31 once the fall starts, so the term isn't that big a deal.

that okposo deal ain't bad if you can afford the hit. $6 mill per year, he's still just 28 and is probably good for 60+ points unless he really does totally fall off the map without Tavares (which is the concern I guess)

Yeah that's a better deal than Backes or Lucic by a pretty wide margin.
