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.

You know Hakstol is gonna give Lehtera 20 mins a game over the actual good young players

He's still (surprisingly) a better even strength play-driver than Schenn though, and for the time being I don't think they're looking to get much from him anyway. Worse comes to worst he's buried on a 4th line or scratched and the priority was the picks anyway.

I want Lehtera bought out so theres a 0% chance of Hakstol falling in love with the guy

Elliott to Philly could end up working out really well.

If it doesn't I doubt he's signed more than two years and the Flyers certainly aren't up to compete for a Cup just yet.

I'd rather just give the starting gig to Stolarz

Everyone said Mason's last contract was too much, yet he was surprisingly good enough. Seriously, Steve Mason learning how to play goalie in Philly of all places is still inconceivable

coyotes fill out their front office by adding ASU's AD from 2011-2013 steve patterson as president and CEO and tacking on president of hockey operations to chayka's title. Good moves I think, coyotes seem like they really need someone who can maneuver in phoenix

The Coyotes relationship with the ASU hockey program is on/off so maybe this will help out

Awesome deal

I still think Nashville should probably have traded Ekholm or Ellis for Duchene before the expansion draft, then they could have protected Neal as well

That being said, extremely stoked that the core of the team is locked up long term assuming the Johansen deal is done soon

I'd rather keep my killer Top 4 than James "Retaliatory Stick Penalty" Neal

Wolski moved to Canada when he was 3 years old, played hockey there until he was 20, then played for American NHL teams for eight years before spending the last four years playing for Russian teams in the KHL. He talks about it a bit in this article:

The last time I looked up a team with Wolski on it, he had a polish flag by his name so i assumed he played for poland

Kerfoot has a few good options for teams with a big opening for a bottom six center right now. Boston is thin there, Pittsburgh needs a 3C and a team couldn't be more attractive right now, and the Rangers are a recent landing spot like his Harvard teammate Jimmy Vesey, and he's guaranteed ice time at center if he's any good. Looks like he's probably a good 3C for the sheltered role that AV gave Hayes last year, and that's probably also his ceiling.

Will Butcher is walking away from a team that literally has three defensemen signed. I guess he wants to play on a competitive, or at least competent team. Doubtful he'll sign with the Rangers as their top four are pretty much set in stone and their depth looks like a car crash, or at least I think that's why there are so many pylons there.

IIRC, Butcher's thing is less competitiveness and more that Avs management really pissed him off for some reason
