[imBask]

Boedker where are u dawg

 

[zroid]

If they sign Russell to any amount of term or dollars I'm going to need a lot of drinks

Marc Bergevin says Vadim Shipachyov is a player who intrigues him.

RUSSIAN SID THE KID HERE WE GO

 

[iLLmAtlc]

Vanek does well every contract year, get him on 1 yr deal

 

[Cake Boss]

Greening is really the least of our worries

He played very well for us lol

lol yeah I remember when he played well for us too.

 

[Heretic]

Only one team has yet to make at least one move...

I don't know if I should be happy or sad.

 

[yyzjohn]

Martin at 2.5 compared to Russel at 5... I'd take Martin, thanks.

You had Russell and Martin in the same post!

 

[Foreign Jackass]

I think Radulov is one of the best signings of the day. I'm actually excited to see him on play on our top 2 lines.

 

[DopeyFish]

lol yeah I remember when he played well for us too.

Probably when you had a good coach 😏

 

[yyzjohn]

Two days ago you're ready to quit the team and today you're back!

 

[ColdPizza]

lulz, yeah right

 

[Zombie James]

Hope he doesn't have a personality.

With the Thomas Vanek signing by the #RedWings, NHL teams have now committed over half a billion dollars in salaries since Noon ET

:LOL

 

[ColdPizza]

How far as Vanek fallen from grace....sheesh.

 

[Red_Man]

Habs embarrassed themselves, but a lot of people who cover the KHL have said Radulov is a changed man after having his kid and hasn't had any issues in the past few years.

I'll believe it when I see it, at least it's only 1 year.

 

[Foreign Jackass]

Two days ago you're ready to quit the team and today you're back!

Isn't it this way all the time?



P.S. I hope Radulov kills Therrien.

 

[Plinko]

Holland sucks so freaking bad. Vanek? Are you kidding me?

 

[BigJonsson]

Holland sucks so freaking bad. Vanek? Are you kidding me?

It's time to let other teams make the playoffs

 

[CosmicQueso]

Is hockey the only sport where they give so much money based on "character" alone?

Nah. Baseball teams signed Johnny Gomes.

 

[PillarEN]

Nielson for 6 years. Comfort me. This is a good deal right?

What's this about Vanek? We didn't sign Vanek right?
Edit: one year. 2.6. Who cares. I'm ok with this

 

[User 479360]

Pretty good deal for Matt Martin. I can live with that.

Our lack of cap space is worrying, but we did take some contracts on from Ottawa/have bad ones coming off the books as mentioned. I look forward to seeing Robidas, Bernier, Lupul, etc. off the books.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Nielson for 6 years. Comfort me. This is a good deal right?

What's this about Vanek? We didn't sign Vanek right?

You signed Vanek

 

[BigJonsson]

Ekblad signs with Fla for 8 years

 

[CosmicQueso]

WE JUST MADE A HUGE SIGNING!! !

BOYD FUCKING GORDON

Spoiler

he won't see much ice time

Boyd Gordon blocks a ton of shots and is a very solid defender. Coyotes will miss him. Again.

Yeah he should be solid coming in on the 4th line at times

 

[User 479360]

Remember when Vanek was one of the most highly touted free agents? What happened?

 

[zroid]

Only positives I can take from Martin deal

1) He will satisfy the games played and contractual obligations for exposure in the expansion draft. Without knowing how many games Lupul will play, it allows the Leafs to definitely protect Bozak or Komarov.

2) He's extremely good defensively so may help out any young players on his line whose defensive game isn't NHL ready.

 

[Parch]

Habs embarrassed themselves, but a lot of people who cover the KHL have said Radulov is a changed man after having his kid and hasn't had any issues in the past few years.

That's encouraging.
I was worried that Radulov's thinking today was going to be...
"WooHoo! 5.75 million bucks! All I have to do is put up with these assholes for a year. Then I can get wrecked and play XBox in my mom's basement for the rest of my life."

 

[CrazedArabMan]

So Holland, who are you go trade?

 

[CosmicQueso]

I really want Boedker for cheap, do it Marc, please

But 19&21 said boedker was terrible.

 

[PillarEN]

So Holland, who are you go trade?

A trade for a D man right? We need help on the D

 

[bonesmccoy]

in non hockey free agent news, Zlatan signed with Man United, wow

He's going to struggle.

 

[Merguson]

A trade for a D man right? We need help on the D

Kris Russell is available in free agency. Just saying.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

A trade for a D man right? We need help on the D

Well, we have 16 stinking forwards now and our D is still swiss cheese, so he better be cooking something up. Or we'll get the same old shtick of, "Injuries happen through the season, it's better to have 16 forwards than 11..."

 

[Holiday]

So Holland, who are you go trade?

Tatar for Shattenkirk!

 

[MultiJhonny]

Tatar for Shattenkirk!

I am curious if Shatteredcock is gonna get traded before the start of the season

The 4 year term is the only shitty part of this contract.

 

[DopeyFish]

lamiorello talks in 5 minutes

hopefully he says he's done

 

[BigJonsson]

lamiorello talks in 5 minutes

Free agency is more than one day

 

[yyzjohn]

Leafs fans won't rest until Russell is off the board.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

So Holland, who are you go trade?

Tatar for Fowler

 

[Merguson]

lamiorello talks in 5 minutes

hopefully he says he's done

Hopefully to step down for Kyle Dubas

 

[User 479360]

I was surprised to see Radulov's name, and beside the Habs. They're still too far out, especially after the Subban trade, but we'll see how he fits.

I was kind of hoping he'd join the Leafs, but not for that money.

 

[DopeyFish]

Free agency is more than one day

no

i mean like

he's done getting shitty players

 

[MultiJhonny]

So it looks like the goal of signing Gordon is to get GSUS off the PK which I am cool with. Also with the signing of Dutch Gretzky means no Ryan White for us. And now Sexy Hexy is gonna start talking to Schenn

 

[Cake Boss]

lamiorello talks in 5 minutes

hopefully he says he's done

 

[Zombie James]

The 4 year term is the only shitty part of this contract.

He's only going to be 31 when it expires. I don't think it's too horrible.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Ryan White to Arizona.

Like Dale Weise in a sense. Great Locker Room guy for the Yotes


AROOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Pikma]

Eaves stays with us one more year

WOOOOOOOO

The only good news so far
