Around The NHL 2016/2017

oh is that so? then why would Boston allegedly offer that much?

[Floyd]

Lovejoy is a good pickup for NJ, buys them some time

NYI's strategy is a bit confusing - not sure they are a better team today

Would like to see Jet's pick up Hamhuis

Feels like a lot of teams are now budgeting in buyouts...

Don't be surprised to see Nail Yakapov at Oiler training camp. Not much out there for him and they won't hand him away for nothing.

People didn't think they'd hand Hall away for nothing...

that was just a rumor.  If they did offer Trouba that kind of cash, and the Jets let him go, Boston would owe Winnipeg four first round picks.  No one is dumb enough to do that deal.  That's the difference.  RFA's cost you big if you sign one, which is why RFA's rarely move teams.  

[bustamente]

Lets get this out of the way, the Boston Bruins were never going to offer sheet Trouba

[iHeart]

in my honest opinion, RFA's shouldn't be offered that much, but then again wasn't Ladd an RFA, but that was just a rental trade

and my first row sports feed for sportsnet is now showing baseball

Somehow Chicago always comes out of free agency with at least one sweet contract

Apparently the Large Hadron Collider has just opened a giant portal in the sky, possibly triggering the quote unquote end times.

That and Edmonton signed Jonas Gustavsson.

Not sure if anyone has worse goaltending then us now

[iHeart]

well Frosty to answer your question that would be MTL, because they just signed Montoya

[IC Khari]

I'm willing to trust the management and ride out the goaltending here with Helle and Hutch (once 31's contract is done). Hutch had an off year in his second full season and he could rebound. 

[kelownabomberfan]

shawn matthias?

[iHeart]

so who is Shaun (or Shawn or Sean, whatever) Matthias?

[Ducky]

Montoya is a good backup, especially for 950k.

I'd take out goalies over the Preds' goalies.

A big low scoring center iceman ... think Lowry, but not with the offensive skills

and we are stuck with him for two years

wow he made a playoff appearance with the canucks 14-15 season

 

 

though on the bright side, now I'll have a chant for him whenever he scores

 

REEEEEDDDDDDWAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLL

He's a left hand shot, maybe they want to convert him into a defenceman? 

[kelownabomberfan]

well he is big, fits in that way.  Center for the fourth line?  Not sure where he fits, our bottom six is already loaded.

[IC Khari]

Was Nick Spaling not available?
