Yeah, pretty sure Hall is being paid an even 6, and is a 30-40 goal scorer. Potential to hit 50 for sure.

Oilers = continually dumb.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Next time Edmonton gets the first overall pick they should make them forfeit it.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Would also love to see the Avs take a run at Chimera. He's exactly what the Avs locker room needs.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Maybe that's the big move coming from the Avs that Mirtle tweeted.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Carchidi expects the Flyers to go after mid-level FA. He thinks Ladd, Backes and Boedker are just out of their price range but I'd love to see the Flyers go after one of those three. Would add something much-needed on the second line.

EDIT: Trading Streit would make life easier.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Matt Duchene to MTL for Shea Weber.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Gabe's name came out earlier.... Gabe to Wings for Jonathan Ericsson and Jimmy Howard...do it.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

That is worse than the Larsson/Hall trade, ugh.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Edit: Damnit, Tim beat me to it :lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I wish it were true. Well Gabe's name was put out there earlier. I mean do teams just think "Let's see if we can trade one of our best players today."?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Yeah. I think it's one of the downsides of other teams knowing that you're desperate. Have you ever seen the movie Draft Day? GMs can be absolutely ruthless I think if they smell desperation (ahem, Chiarelli).

I sincerely doubt Sakic was seriously shopping Gabe, but it's a perfectly reasonable scenario for him to be talking to another GM and that GM seeing just how high he can go and bringing up Gabe's name.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

But seriously folks, here's hoping the Avs are the proud new owners of a shiny Cam Fowler or Kevin Shattenkirk by the end of the day.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I have not seen that movie yet.

One rumor that was out before was EDM interested in Barrie and makes me wonder if that has something going on here.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Boston bought out Seidenberg, my buddy told me. I wonder where he goes.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Would you settle for an Andrew MacDonald or Mark Streit?!?!??!?! :lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

That would be like when my parents took me car shopping as a teenager. I had expectations of a Land Rover and came out with a Geo Prizm.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

A shit-brown Geo Prizm that smells like urine.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

hey geo prizms were great. screw you all.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

To be fair, I drove that thing up until about 3 years ago.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Tomorrow I get to leave work at 3, I love the new job closing early the Friday before Memorial Day and now the 4th btw, so I hope most of the UFA's are off the board and Ken Holland can just say "oh well" by then.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Tim, why didn't you drive to WI for Alpine weekend?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Honestly, I didn't really think about it. Did Blossom to add a 2nd show but I dunno why Alpine never really jumped out to me.

Not a huge surprise for us with our hairy legged DB insider. ;)

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Well I'm glad I decided not care about hockey until it gets cold again.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

You heard it here first!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Here is hoping the contracts the Wings give out don't make me want to jump out the window.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Happy free agent day. Hope we sign Ladd today as the first piece of the puzzle.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Assuming TSN will stream today, and you have chrome or firefox, you can grab the hola extension which masks where you are viewing from so you can make it think you are in Canada. I'm guessing NHL.com will have the Sportsnet feed and....it's just not the same.

Don't want to lose Franz.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Yeah....I'm like eh. lol BUT signing him if they do means no Backes so score one for me if this happens.
